Man vs. Wild

Bear Grylls is marooned on a desert island south of Papua New Guinea. He wades across a shark-infested tidal channel, climbs 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 Arnhem Land to survive in this sweltering landscape.

Bear Grylls and his team head into the Canadian Rockies to face the elements at their worst and see what they really do to the body. When an icy glissade goes horrible wrong, Bear must be evacuated to the hospital.

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

Bear takes two fans into the Canadian wilderness for their ultimate survival challenge. They'll face their fears head on by trekking down dangerous glaciers, building a rustic shelter and trying to swallow typical Bear fare.

In the Mojave Desert, Bear puts himself in the path of a man-made sandstorm and takes on the full force of a flashflood. His body is pushed to the limit as the temperature soars from minus 40 to 110 degrees.

Ever wonder who films Bear Grylls leaping from helicopters, crossing crocodile-infested rivers, sliding down ice falls and generally risk life and limb? Go behind the scenes to meet the team.
