Jul 20, 2023 · 07/20/2023. Bear Grylls has spent a lot of time on islands throughout his career as a survivalist and adventurer, filming in remote locations such as the Pacific Ring of Fire. Remember that famous video clip where he hangs off the skids of a helicopter above a tiny island in the Pacific, then jumps 10,000 feet into the sea?
Nov 1, 2023 · A Torch and a Crowbar. Image by Yiming Chen. Buying and owning a private island is not as glamorous as it sounds.

Before we get to the super dangerous, utterly ridiculous facts, I’m going to ease you in gently. Let’s start with something a little more low-key: As it turns out, Bear Grylls isn’t actually a bear. That’s right. Legendary rugged adventurer he may be, but he’s really just a plain old human like the rest of us (you might not believe that by the end ...
If you’ve watched The Expendablesmovies, you’ll know that there comes a time when action heroes… just can’t be action heroes anymore. Sylvester Stallone sure was showing his age there. You just mellow out a little, I suppose, become a little less reckless. As Bear himself has said, "The crew say I used to be 110% reckless on everything we did and I...
With everything we’ve seen so far, then, one thing is abundantly clear: Bear Grylls cannot and will not be stopped. As he’s demonstrated to us all on countless occasions, there’s sustenance everywhere, if you’re resourceful enough (and iron-stomached enough) to find and utilise it. As The Independent reports, some of the delectable treats he’s samp...
A lot of actors and actresses are used to the concept of having to transform themselves and their bodies, for particular roles. Muscle may have to be gained, for instance, hair may have to be cut, all of these sorts of things. For the physically-intensive situations Bear Grylls tends to find himself in, it’s no surprise that he’s always got to keep...
We all know about the legendary (and brilliantly ridiculous) stunts that Grylls pulls on TV. We’ve all seen the absurd sorts of situations he manages to get himself into. As we’ve seen over the course of this rundown, though, there’s a lot more to him. How about Grylls as a father? Unsurprisingly, his three sons, Jesse, Marmaduke and Huckleberry, h...
There’s no doubt that Bear Grylls is a super talented and able survivor. He knows what he’s talking about, he’s dispensing real, life-saving advice, he’s pretty darn amazing all around. At the same time, though, we’ve got to remember that his TV shows are, first and foremost, made for entertainment. Some things are a little exaggerated, or otherwis...
Now, you might think there’s nothing much that can surprise you about this guy. After all, his extreme exploits are well-documented. If I were to tell you that he holds a world record (which I just have, try and keep up here), what would you think it would be? It could be anything, couldn’t it? You’re probably thinking Most Desert Ground Covered Ca...
Watching the indefatigable survivor that is Grylls on TV, you might be left with the impression that he’s an Arnold Schwarzenegger-style action hero. That he feeds only on carnage, pain and his own raw fury, and could survive for eighty years on just a droplet of rainwater and his own steeliest of steely determination. To be totally honest, yes, th...
Now, I’m probably not qualified to comment here. The closest I’ve ever come to climbing a mountain was the time the elevator was out of order in my apartment building (it’s a long way up to the fourth floor, friends). Having said that, there’s one thing even a complete amateur like myself can tell you: Mount Everest is pretty darn steep. That’s a m...
So, yes. It’s quite early in the rundown, but I think one thing is already abundantly clear: You do not mess with Bear Grylls. He may be a bit of a fancy British gent (more on that later), but he can tangle with the best of them and come out on top. Including crocodiles (more on that later, as well). Is it altogether surprising that he holds the 2n...
