Description:
With little more than the clothes on his back, survival expert Bear Grylls goes toe-to-toe with some of Earth's toughest, most remote environments in each edge-of-your-seat episode of Man vs. Wild. Grylls faces sweltering desert temperatures, icy, raging rivers and hungry predators as he fights for survival using techniques he learned as a British Special Forces soldier. You'll never look at the great outdoors the same way again!

Episodes:

The Rockies: In this episode, Grylls encounters a grizzly bear, jumps off a 70-foot cliff and floats nearly 12 miles in treacherous and freezing white water, all on a diet of rattlesnake, raw fish and worms.

European Alps: Armed with just a knife, water bottle, cup and a flint to make fire, Grylls parachutes into this mountain range. From a radical new technique that could help save lives in crevasse zones, to building a snow shelter to survive alpine storms, to demonstrating how to escape from a fall into a frozen lake, Grylls puts his skills to the test.

Costa Rican Rainforest: Grylls's challenge is to make his way to civilization from within the Costa Rican rainforest with just a knife and a water bottle. His journey takes him up 100-foot trees and down pounding waterfalls, through secondary jungle and mangrove swamps to the sea. Moab Desert: On this incredible journey back to civilization, Grylls travels down a maze of narrow canyons, encounters rattlesnakes and escapes quicksand.

Sierra Nevada: This time carrying only a water bottle and cup, Grylls shows us how to survive in the Sierra's breathtaking yet deceptively dangerous three major mountainous regions.

Alaskan Mountain Range: Join Grylls in this challenge as he scales the icy peaks of the Chugach Mountains, Alaska, one of the toughest environments on the planet.

Mount Kilauea: Made up of a bleak expanse of solidified lava which stretches for 33,000 acres, this environment is one of the world's most inhospitable. One tourist a week is rescued from its lava fields. Grylls deliberately puts himself in the position of one of those lost tourists, putting his survival skills to the ultimate test.

Desert Island: Grylls eats sea urchins and fish eyes, encounters razor-sharp coral reefs, rip currents, and relentless surf and comes face to face with sharks.

African Savannah: Grylls demonstrates how to find water, build shelter, use natural medicines and prevent elephant and rhino attacks. In his journey to safety, Grylls eats the meat from a lion-kill in this thrilling episode.

- Utterly pathetic
This show is a complete waste of time. Aside from the fact that some of the things this show purports to do are really faked, there are many problems here. His "survival techniques" are nothing close. I have been in one of the environments where Bear made a show, and if one tried to do what he supposedly did there, one would probably not return. Period. Please, don't waste your time & money with this. Go buy Survivorman instead. Les Stroud provides real guidnace, and puts himself into real survival situations.

This video is entertaining with good cinematography. After the first time though you can tell how lots of scenes are staged. But what the heck, Bear Grylls is quite a handsome guy plus that accent! Who can say no to that?!

- Bear Grylls
Bear Grylls is amazing and can survive anywhere on this planet. Ive been waiting for about 3 months to get this and looked everywhere to find it but no stores had it except for best buy.

- Good show, but dissapointing DVD
I'm a huge fan of the show, but this DVD disappoints. First, the episode list that is listed here on Amazon, isn't what's on the actual DVDs. There is no desert island episode, or Colorado Rockies for example. Plus the episodes that are on the DVD, well they aren't the original broadcast edited versions...they've been re-edited. For example, there is no horse taming scene in the Sierra Nevada episode. Now while some may feel good about that, as they called some of those scenes fake, I think it's a poor choice to not include the ORIGINAL episodes as they were meant to be.

And there are no bonus features on this disc, UNLESS you call "deleted scenes" from the Sierra Nevada episode (which the scenes in question are already included in the final cut of the episode anyway), and a quick montage of eating bugs as bonus material...then well, there really isn't anything here worthwhile. Plus the menus ... Read More
