Bear Grylls has climbed Mount Everest, crossed the freezing North Atlantic Ocean in a small, open boat and climbed a Himalayan peak described by Sir Edmund Hillary as 'unclimbable'. He has been to places and done things that would defeat most normal people - except Bear isn't your average guy - he's ex-British SAS and an extreme adventurer.

In the second collection of Man Vs. Wild Season 1, Bear drops into popular adventure holiday destinations around the world - locations where tourists find themselves in life threatening danger. While finding his way back to civilisation Bear demonstrates local survival techniques, including how to avoid Rhino attacks in the African Savannah; what spiders are edible in the Australian Kimberly region and tests snow slopes for avalanche potential in Artic Scotland.
