Man vs. Wild

Bear Grylls is marooned on a desert island somewhere south of Papua New Guinea. He wades across a shark-infested tidal channel, climbs crumbling volcanic cliffs, leaps over a 100-foot death drop, and constructs a bamboo windsurfer to make his escape.

Bear Grylls skydives from a wartime cargo plane into Australia's Northern Territory. He will rely on many of the survival skills honed by the aboriginal people who live in Arnhemland to survive in this sweltering landscape where 100,000 crocodiles rule.

While in the Canadian Rockies, Bear is buried alive in an avalanche, swims long distance beneath an ice-covered lake, and is airvac-ed to the hospital when an icy glissade goes horribly wrong.

Bear Grylls begins his adventure in the snow-capped Caucasus Mountains of the Georgian Republic by driving a snowmobile out the back of a hovering helicopter. He ziplines across a river, camps among wolves, and trudges swampy wetlands.

Bear takes two fans into the Canadian wilderness for their ultimate survival challenge. They'll face their fears head on, trek down dangerous glaciers and across a frigid glacial river, build a rustic shelter, and try to swallow typical Bear fare.

In the Mojave Desert Bear puts himself in the path of a man-made sandstorm takes on the full force of a flashflood and jumps form 30,000 feet; his body is pushed to the limit as the temperature soars from minus 40 to one hundred and ten degrees.

Ever wonder who films Bears leaping from helicopters, crossing crocodile infested rivers, sliding down ice falls and generally risk life and limb? In this behind the scenes look you get the chance to meet the team and see how they stay in one piece!
