If you have never heard of Bear Grylls, you may have heard of his survival show called " Man Vs. Wild". With a name like Bear...you know that this guy has to be tough. What you don't expect is to see a man who might just be the most amazing survival expert alive. Bear Grylls, by all rights, is worthy of the title, survivor man.

Man Vs. Wild is the best show on the Discovery Channel. The show is hosted by Bear Grylls, a man who has a long resume of survival training and expertise. This man is no stranger to pushing himself to the limits. He served in the British Army for three years as a Special Air Service Regiment. Bear Grylls is also the youngest person in the UK to summit Ama Dablam in the Himalayas at the age of twenty four. This very peak was nicknamed the "unclimbable" by Sir Edmund Hillary. In 1998, Bear Grylls became the youngest person alive to summit Mt. Everest a feat than many have gone before and failed to achieve. To this day he still holds the record as the youngest person to climb the summit. This young man has achieved more outstanding feats, gone on many wild adventures and pushed himself to the extremes than anyone alive at the young age of thirty three. In 2003 Bear led a team across the North Atlantic in a rigid inflatable boat also known as a RIB, across icy frigid waters. Bear set another world record and even had a book published about the exploration entitled, Facing the Frozen Ocean. For his tremendous achievement, he was awarded an honorary commission in the Royal Navy.
