Bear Grylls Answers Your Questions

Print
Email
 

Things can get really wild when you're Bear Grylls ... We've watched him eat live snakes and "float" in quicksand, so perhaps you've asked yourself, "Is there anything this guy won't do?"

Well, Bear has answers to some of your burning questions. Want to learn more? POST A MESSAGE for him in the discussion board. And look for posts by "ltcdrbeargrylls"!



Q: Hey Bear, great show! Hey, I was wondering if you were ever going to come to Minnesota? Maybe to the Boundary Waters. Thanks!
--DiscoveryChannelMan

A: So far only two locations confirmed for next season ... Alabama and Norway.

Q: I am just loving your show! It is amazing to see you visit these remote places week after week.

I recently watched the South Dakota episode, and I had a question about boiling water. I noticed that you carried a small container for boiling water in. It came in very handy when you made the four-stick fire to boil it on.

If you were to be stranded in a remote area such as the Black Hills, and you had no container in which to boil the water, are there any suitable alternatives for a "bowl" of sorts?

Thanks for giving us some real informative, educational and entertaining television! I really enjoy it. Keep up the great work!

A: You can always use your water bottle to boil water! Watch the Hell’s canyon show!

Q: Love the show, but I have a question for you. Is there any place that you can think of that you would never ever go? Any places that you think is way, way too dangerous to go?

A: No. Oh, actually, New York City is always pretty mad! I was almost run overt twice last time!

Q: In your Desert Survivor episode, you mentioned getting rim-rocked in New Zealand. How did you get yourself unstuck? How would anyone get out of a situation like that, especially if they didn't have a cell phone or walkie-talkie?
--KKM 

A: By good fortune, I dropped off a ledge about 25 feet and survived it and made it out. But if no comms and rim-rocked with no options up or down, it is then all about signalling for help. Short lesson: avoid getting into the situation!
