But first a bit about Bear...Bear Grylls is a man who has always loved adventure. During his time in the Special Air Service (SAS), a special forces unit of the British army, he broke his back in three places in a parachuting accident. He fought his way to recovery through 18 months in a military hospital and two years later entered the Guinness Book of Records as the youngest Briton to climb Mount Everest aged only 23. He has since led ground-breaking expeditions across the world. Bear Grylls and Will Ferrell creating a fire, from the Man Vs Wild special. In his shows, also known as Born Survivor, you see him eating grubs from tree trunks to survive, which really makes you cringe as they crunch and ooze between his teeth. He'll catch fresh salmon in rivers and eat the flesh raw and eat maggots off a rotting carcass to demonstate what you must do to sustain yourself. In Man Vs Wild Season 4 DVD boxset, Bear takes Will Ferrell on a survival adventure in the frozen Northern region of Sweden. Will Ferrell excels with humour and rises to Bear's challenges such as eating animal eyeballs and cold, arduous trekking across snow and ice. Bear was appointed as the youngest ever Chief Scout to 28 million Scouts worldwide and has authored 10 books, including the No 1 Bestseller "Mud, Sweat & Tears".
