Bear Grylls Facts
I’m excited about the return tonight of the Discovery Channel series, “Man vs. Wild.” If you haven’t seen it, you should. Former British special forces adventurer-extraordinaire Bear Grylls parachutes into a remote location with only a knife, a flint, a water bottle (and a camera crew that refuses to give him aid). His goal is to survive long enough to find civilization, and along the way show us, the viewers, how to survive in the wild. It’s great fun to see just how Bear Grylls will find food, shelter, and fend off the wildlife.
Bear Grylls is a tough guy. Anybody who can drink water out of elephant dung or kill a fish by breaking its back — with his mouth — is a force with which to be reckoned.
That’s why, in the spirit of Chuck Norris Facts, Jack Bauer Facts, and Fred Thompson Facts, I’ve decided to enter the realm of internet copycatism and create a list of Bear Grylls Facts. Here they are:
- It is a known fact that Bear Grylls once broke his back during a parachute accident while in the British Special Forces. Lesser known is the fact that he built a makeshift hospital in the wilderness and performed back surgery on himself using only a knife, a flint, and a water bottle.
- In the wild, Bear Grylls eats all kinds of bugs and twigs for the protein. In civilization, he eats spare car parts for the iron.
- Bear Grylls’ peculiar name is derived from two things: his favorite food, and the manner in which he likes to cook it.
- When Bear Grylls got married, he was so excited that he forgot to bring his wife on the honeymoon — but he did remember to bring his knife, a flint, and a water bottle.
Those are just a few (I know, I could do better…). I’ll try to add other facts as I “discover” them. Anyone else know any “facts” about Bear Grylls?

That was funny.
“Bear Grylls doesn’t need to survive but rather survive needs to Bear Grylls”

It’s a well known fact that in the event of nucleuar holocaust two things would TRUELY survive; cockroaches and Bear Grylls, aftwards Bear would simply eat the cockroaches for protien.
“Bear Grylls has died twice but managed to survive and escape heaven each time.”
Bear Grylls is the only man alive who knows how to drink piss, with style…
When in the Alps, Bear Grylls used pine needles and moss to build a shelter that received a 5-star rating and subsequently put surrounding ski resorts out of business. When asked to comment, Grylls dived into a frozen lake and reappeared completely dry with three rainbow trout.
Whilst fishing with his bare hands, Bear Grylls accidentally won a Fishing Tournament that was being held 2 miles downstream. When awarded with the trophy, Grylls sharpened it on a rock and used it to kill a nearby grisly.
When Bear Grylls in high in the mountains, the altitude suffers from ‘Bare Grylls’ sickness.
Its a fact that Bear Grylls lives on a private Island with no electricity, so he catches electric eels with his butt cheeks and rubs them with his knife to make electricity.
I’m not kidding though, Bear really lives on a private Island with no electricity. How baller is that.
It’s been leaked that their is a top secret plan to send Bear Grylls to mars on the next season of man versus wild. While their he plans on scaling Olympus Mons, finding water, and simply walking back to civalization using only his flint, knife, and water bottle.
In 2005 he led a team of five British men on the first unassisted crossing of the North Atlantic Arctic Ocean, in an open rigid inflatable boat. Bear Grylls simply tied the boat to a rope around his waist and toed the raft. Icerbergs, sharks, and storms were too afraid to get in his way. (Fact: Bear Gryllz actually did cross the Northern Atlantic Ocean in a raft)
It is known that bear grylls kept warm in the scotish highlands not just by wearing the stinky fur of a dead deer, but also by farting into his waterbottle, then using his flint to start a nice gasfire.
On the last episode of Man vs. Wild, Bear Grylls defeats Wild.

He’s a fake. Stayed in hotels, when u thought he was toughing it out!!!
Got experts to build his raft for him etc
He also lied about flying over everset and has just been exposed!!!!
FAKe FAKE
Bear Grylls’ camera crew doesn’t refuse to give him aid. Sometimes, after giving a full 3 course meal to his crew after catching fish and insects with his bare hands, he needs to refuse to give them aid.
Fact: On one occasion, there was a leak in Bear Gryll’s house. He then built shelter underneath the leak in the ceiling and made a fire to survive.

Complete con man!
Bear Gryll secret script.
Camera 1: This week I am in a remote place where no-one has ever been. Ever. (looks at camera 2)
This place is so dangerous that poisonous gas just leaps out of the ground and armed ninja tigers are just waiting to bite me. I’m going to show you how to survive using nothing but a thin sliver of plastic and a knife. And fork.
Cut to restaurant: Today I am only going to eat raw meat. I always carry a bottle of Tabasco to make it taste better. The waiter chap puts in all the other stuff like the ground black pepper and the capers and the flat leafed parsley. He even wanted to mix in the raw egg – but I said no I’m an explorer and danger is my friend – I’ll do it. It was a good meal althought the Chardonnay was not quite chilled enough to my liking. At the end of the meal you give the chap the sliver of plastic and then he gives it back to you. They normally ask for my autograph and then leave. It’s good to be so popular.
Cut to interion of gym: Us special forces chaps are nearly always in the gym. But today I’ve got a reason to be here. I can’t quite open the ringpull on this can of Sprite and these instructors are very tough.
Cut to Bear: Now I’ve got to go soon – I’m flying Scandinavian Airways because that’s SAS. But if I tell you that I’d have to kill you. Be careful – it’s a jungle out there – or is it a theme park? Any way its just outside the hotel so I’m not going. Those rides are scary!
shut up, he’s hott and he’s amazing, and gave himself back surgery, leave him alone
Bear Gryll is more than a machine .
He never said he was survivor man, that’s the show after man vs. wild…he’s not a fake, the shows purpose is to show you how to survive if you get into that really horrible situation. Besides, I heard that he’s quite the gentleman, he opted to carry both of his sons during gestation then breast feed them while his wife fought MS, brain cancer, and helped Brittney Spears to quite doing heroine as elbow length gloves are no longer in style and the track scars were starting to show.
Bear is a FAKE!! He sat there and during one of his “adventures” he there and jumped into a stream and in the scene he said he would have to use his bag to float to stay alive. After he jumped in he lost his bag (you could see it flt to the right) he somehow ended up with his bag and when he was in the water if you looked at his coat closely enough you could see a life vest grills is a big cheater!! If you want to see some real surviving action survivor man is a MUCH better choice he is able to start a fire with just stacks and leaves lets see bear without his flint
Oh, C’MON people!!! He’s a TELEVISION host, and the point of television is to ENTERTAIN people. Personally, I think no less of him for staying in a few hotels. After all, he was hesitant to do the show in the first place.
Give the guy a break and take his show for what it really is: ENTERTAINMENT. And if you learn a few survival tips in the process, then more power to Bear Grylls!!! At least is show doesn’t rot your brain like most do.
Bear is HOT! His accent alone does wonders for me. While he may have faked some of his survival, he is still HOT!
I cant believe that there are so many sick people in this world!!!!!!!!! Niece i think you need to grow up how you can make jokes about serious illness’ is beond me. i hope not for yours and their sake but one day someone close to you may get a serious illness then you will understand why i wrote this. and as for bear i agree with nicole its entertainment he isnt going to risk his life anymore than he does now for a tv show i would love to see most of you lot do the things he does even with help.
Bear Grylls was once so hungry he actually did eat a horse. The only thing he spat out was the jockey’s helmet

Amongst themselves, lions actually agree that Bear Grylls is the King of the Jungle
Bear Grylls was the original Sisyphus, except at the first go he got to the top, climbed onto the rock and slapped Zeus in the face
Monty, I do have a serious illness which causes me intense pain every waking moment and often I dream of the pain I am feeling. Laughing helps get me by. Get off your high horse and crack a joke, Bear’s just a man and we’re just here having fun. I actually admire him and see him as inspiration for me because I suffer severe back trouble along with my illness. I dream of recovery and freedom from the pain when it won’t hurt me to tears just because I want to hold my 2 year old baby.
I forgot to add an apology for Monty, perhaps because of my illness I’ve grown morbid, would you have felt better had I said that Bear carried his children while his wife was off in search for the Abominable Snowman, became friends and went on tour after writing the story of the creatures life?
If Bear Grylls is a fraud, then so is survivor man. Do you really think that either one of these guys would put themselves in any real danger? The purpose of Man vs. Wild and Survivor Man are to show you how to survive if you find your self in one of thes situations. Whether it is authentic is not the point.
in the episode ‘desert island’ bear grylls found a bottle with a message in, telling him how to make a raft out of trees, leaves and a t-shirt
to which he said ‘well its not as good as my idea’ – fact
he does rock tho doesnt he even if its not all true he did still climb everest, cross that frozen ocean, jump off a waterfall (rucksack or not), climb endless cliff faces, white water raft… with no raft, eat goats testicles and countless other things, slay a bunny with a stick (altho not very nice for the bunny the sound it makes is entertainment enough…youtube) and finally he was in the SAS showing army guys how to survive in similar conditions as well as being a medic and a combat expert the result? DO NOT [...] WITH BEAR GRYLLS!
Bear Grylls once met medusa in ancient Greece, she told him to look into her eyes, Bear Grylls not wanting to back down from a challenge proceeded to look into her eyes.

Bear Grylls was Chuck Norris’s stunt double. In one episode of Texas Ranger, if you look closely you can see Bear Grylls standing in the back ground. (wearing a mullet and a cowboy hat)
even if some of the scenes are staged, he’s still way tougher than anyone else you know. and the reason they stage them is because not everything will happen to any single individual, so he and the crew try to present as many possible scenarios (albeit some of them may not be natural) in order to demonstrate how to survive a particular situation.
besides, if you’re really watching it because you think it’s 100% real, then you’re missing the point of television.
Bear Grylls doesnt survive the wild the wild survives Bear Grylls.
Bear Grylls doesnt need a camera crew he just keeps them around incase he needs extra protien.
Bear Grylls doesnt fall into quick sand, quick sand falls into Bear Grylls.
The reason Bear Grylls doesnt use a gun is that they kill animals to slow.
Bear Grylls didnt climb Everest, Everest climbed Bear Grylls.
Bear Grylls doesnt need a parachute because the ground would move out off his way.
The sun rises in the east and sets in the west because Bear Grylls got tired of carrying a compass.
If Chuck Norris and Bear grylls were placed on a desert island who would last the longest????
Would Chuck Norris survive off Bear Grylls or the other way round!!!
How i wish i could work with him. As an adventurer and a survivor myself, i’m sure he’ll have a lot to show me and i to him.
chuck norris can touch mc hammer… but bear grylls can eat him for protein… using only his knife, flint, and a water bottle.
I heard de just passed away
That’s contrary to any news reports, jega jega. On the contrary, it looks like Bear and his wife just welcomed a new son into the world. Congrats, Mr. and Mrs. Grylls!
Even if some of the stuff he is helped with or its staged, he is still out there doing this. Like Ian said some things they have to set up because he cant make everything happen to him each episode. Besides look at what this guy eats, I havent seen les stroud do any of that!!! This GUY got stung by bees and then his face swelt up and he still killed a rattle snake.
Bear Grylls FTW
Yo bear is the stuff, u others hate because use watch survivor man come on now he never catches anything to eat.
Nobody messes with Bear Grylls… Bear Grylls does the messing!
One time when Bear Grylls needed to start a fire, he ate some sand and shat out a magnifying glass.

His dad is dead
He went over Mt Everest on a paramoter
He climbed Mt Everest
All the above facts are true
i think that Bear sould be on T.V. more
in a past life bear grylls was a garbage compactor.
ps. he’s not fake. some people just didn’t understand the show. they thought it was him in a true life or death situation. but it’s more a survival guide where he will put himself in danger to show you how to survive. what you can eat, how to get water, etc. it’s entertaining and real.
WEll he says his camera crew will follow him.. he neva says how many of them. Its more or less like shooting a movie. In a movie every thing is fake. It is made to make us aware of what is shown and keep us entertained. afterall the show is not a nonsense, and is really worth watching!
so enjoy the show
Hay “Bear” or is it Edward Michael, anyway whats your favorite animal because your my hero and I have to do a bio on you and one of the questions is “Whats his/hers favorite animal plus I think you awesome you three kids (Jesse,Marmaduke and Huckleberry) are very lucky to have a father as great as you!:)YOUR AWESOME “BEAR” YOU RULE
Chuck Norris watches Bear and takes notes. Nuff said.
It is rumored that Chuck Norris dared Bear Grylls to a fight once. Bear agreed, with one stipulation: they fight in the wilderness with only a knife, water bottle, and flint. Chuck agreed to these terms. The following day, Bear and Chuck met in the wilderness to fight. Just before they were set to begin fighting, the weather changed for the worse. Bear suggested that they do the following: build a shelter with surrounding tree branches and vegetation, find local insects and small animals to eat, and sit around the campfire drinking their own urine. Chuck refused. Bear left Chuck to die of exposure in the wilderness and went back to his hotel room with his film crew. True story
Well done mate.
when bear grylls went to the movies he saw everyone eating popcorn, slushy’s, and chocolate- he sighed the only thing he brought was his knife, flint and waterbottle
Bear Grylls simply walks in to Mordor
bear grylls is a good guy and if you all have problems with him get over it. i for one enjoy watching his shows and i dont care if he is a fake it doesent matter okay?!?!?!?!?!

while in south dakota, bear grylls managed to kill a buffalo. to bad it rotted away before he could get to it!!!
bear met chuck norris in australia. When the salties came after them, they fought their way through it. When the rescue chopper didn’t come, bear managed to survive using flint, a waterbottle, and a knife. Chuck wansn’t so lucky.
what he does is the crew tests everything. like they tie him to a harness then he does what ever it is but if it fails he does something else somewhere else but if he makes it he goes back and does it with out the harness and thats what you see on tv so he isnt a fake he does everything you.
The sun is going down better drink my own piss.
love bear
iam your biggest fan in world
hai bear i want to meet u.
when u meet with me then u will know pepole called me second bear grylls
Jake gordon once knowcked out bear grylls
i like bear grylls
Bear Grylls’ mating call is cross between dragon and Samoan Long-Horn Cattle
I no people say the tv show is fake and some prob is but that doesnt change the fact he used to train the sas yes the sas the best fighting unit in the world, survival in extreme climates.
The haters on this page are probably more angry with themselves for being so Niave in the first place. Grow up morons, of course he stays in hotels sometimes. Here he is on the record. either way he still shows some amazing stuff, that could save lives
man you are amazing . i love to see your program and i am your biggest fan in the world . its my passion to work like u do . you are a source of inspiration to me and meeting you is my biggest dream
The funny thing is he only stayed in a hotel once while shooting his tv program but the dosent mean hes a fake. He still jumps out of planes, helicopters, and puts him self in extreme conditions. And he also has a cameraman and a ropes expert. He was also in the SAS so i think you guy are just jealous. HE is NOT FAKE
1. Bear Grylls doesn’t wear a tank-top, he wears a hole tank
2. When Bear Grylls goes to bed he doesn’t count sheep, he eats them
3. Bear Grylls eats beef jerky and craps gunpowder. Then, he uses that gunpowder to make a bullet, which he uses to kill a cow and make more beef jerky. Some people refer this as the “Circle of Life.”
Shall I go on.
When Bear Grylls got sent to Iraq, the Prophet Mohammed bade all to be silent, switched on CNN, ordered ten thousand pizzas, 200 virgins, a lake of Bud, and said
“Holy S—! This is going to be fun.”
