Man vs. Wild is a survival television series on the Discovery Channel hosted by Bear Grylls.
The show accentuated the dramatic aspects of wilderness survival, as Grylls went out of his way to demonstrate techniques usually required only under extremely dire circumstances. Throughout each episode, Bear not only offered survival skills but also told about successful survivals in the area he was in (and failed attempts, for that matter). The program has shown him eating raw meat and live fish, staving off hypothermia after intentionally jumping in a frozen lake, and drinking the fluids of elephant feces and his own urine for hydration. In advertisements for Season Two of Man vs. Wild, the screen showed a disgusted Grylls eating an enormous grub while the announcer stated, "Does Bear Grylls really need to do these things? Probably not. But you might."
The series is produced by British television production company Diverse Bristol. The show premiered on November 10, 2006 after airing a pilot episode titled The Rockies on October 27, 2006. The program followed Grylls as he supposedly survived harsh conditions with minimal resources and found his way back to civilization. The series aired on Channel 4 in the UK and Discovery Channel Europe as Born Survivor: Bear Grylls.[1] The show is on hiatus as Discovery reviews claims that the show deceived viewers. Grylls is currently filming for the next season. The future of the show is uncertain.
