Bear Grylls Biography
Bear Grylls, born in 1974, is a mountaineer, international speaker, author, and a former Special Forces soldier of the British Army. Being one of the most inspirational people that walk this earth, Bear's popularity has become well known from the stories he tells.
Some might call him crazy, after breaking his back in three places from a terrible parachuting accident during an army training excersize over Africa.
Others envy him as it did not stop him climbing Mount Everest and setting world records. If you watch his show on the Discovery Channel you will understand. Being a best selling author after writing Facing Up which is a detail of him reaching the summit of Mount Everest and returning safely, I highly recommend picking up one of his books. I have found his books to be some of the most uplifting and motivational reads I have come across. Bear Grylls favorite is Facing The Frozen Ocean. A documentary of his survival as he crosses the Atlantic Ocean, riding an inflatable boat, in the middle of winter! The story is truley amazing. An adventure that started off very well planned turned into him basically fighting to survive. Atlantic's finest threw a storm at him we only see in the movies.
In 2009 Bear was voted by the Scouts to become their Chief Scout and figurehead to nearly 500,000 Scouts in the UK. He becomes the youngest Chief Scout in history.
Bear lives with his wife Shara on a boat on the Thames in london, and also on a small Welsh island. They have three little boys called Jesse, Marmaduke and Huckleberry. They are the pride of Bear's eyes.

We might be ask that, Is Man vs Wild real?
Man vs Wild has been under some scrutiny about faking or staging the show recently. There have been reports that Bear and his crew have been sleeping in a motel at night, and that they weren't actually filming on location 100% of the time.
The Man vs Wild hoax has been addressed by Bear himself stating that, "they don't always tell the full story". He also goes on to say that in the upcoming season, "we’re determined to make all new shows more inclusive of the crew and their role."
