would like to see you climb to the canopy of the Brazilian rain forest and not die.Edward Michael 'Bear' Grylls is still my Hero. Get this, a little biography on my current British crush:
He broke his back in three places in a parachuting accident, and then recovered and two years later became the youngest Briton to climb Everest at 23. He was in the British SAS, basically the British navy seal, serving as a Sabre soldier, trained in unarmed combat, desert and winter warfare, combat survival, medics, parachuting, signals, evasive driving, climbing an
d explosives.Evasive driving sounds like fun.
In 2007 Grylls announced he had broken a new world record by flying a paraglider over the Himalayas, higher than Mount Everest, having to cope with temperatures of -60C and dangerously low oxygen levels to reach 29,500 feet, almost 10,000 feet higher than the previous record of 20,019 feet.
Basically he is crazy...and he is crazy attractive.
Bear has his own website, It is now going to become a link on my page.
Bear lives on a converted barge on the Thames with his wife Shara and their two sons Marmaduke and Jesse.
Marmaduke is a great name.
He has several books and is writing some kids adventure books, and he looks quite dashing on the cover of many of these. *swoon*
This article provides some interesting tidbits about the Bear Grylls Hotel stays and the not as it seems nature of his tv shows. This is still the crazy ass though that squeezed elephant dung into his mouth for water, and gnawed on a zebra flank- which Cole states doesn't taste good- apparently Bear meat (Not grylls...) tastes like wet dog also.
So wouldn't the best show ever be like a Survivor 'survive off' between Les Straud
the 'survivor man' and Bear 'man vs. wild' where they have to compete and do the same tasks and see who could out survive the other the best? I think it would be as successful as a solid gold baby- which by the way the pinnacle of success.Mom's idea was also that on the next season of Survivor either a reward we be to hang out with Bear or at the beginning each team gets either Bear of Lee for the first few days. Wouldn't that be awesome. Yeah I think so.
I also think there should be an International Be Bear Grylls Day. He's such a badass that he scores a solid rating of 'Chuck Norris' on the International Scale Of Badassery. And so we take today to celebrate 'Man Vs. Wild' and Bear Grylls by becoming him. Here are some tips:
Sad to say I didn't come up with this idea, but I approve and agree:
International Be Bear Grylls Day
(That salmon looks delicious by the by)
1. Go parachute into the most remote wilderness you can find.
2. Bring with you only a knife, a flint, and a water bottle.
3. If you get hot, take off your underwear and put them on your head. If you are still hot, pee on your underwear before putting them on your head.
4. If you get hungry, there are many things you can eat in nature, such as bugs, worms, grubs, spiders, rotten zebra meat, snakes, sheep eyeballs, raw bird eggs, turtles, raw fish, honey, rodents, and piranha (but only if you shot them with a bow and arrow that you made).
5. If you get thirsty, find a running stream or underground aquifer. If you can't find running water, you can drink the water off of fresh elephant turds or you can drink your own fresh pee.
6. Head towards bodies of water, that's where most people live. Bonus points for making a raft.
7. Climb up all the rocks and trees that you find, and mention the time you climbed Mt. Everest at least twice.
8. If you are on a volcanic island, and your shoe catches on fire, it's too hot to walk there. Find somewhere with less magma.
9. Take off your shirt whenever possible.
Also I would like to note an up coming segment called Look alikes. This is prompted by the fact that I think Nate Mylrea looks like Bear, and Kyle looks like Zach Braff- I'll have some pictures so you can compare!!
