Bear Grylls Survival Academy

Bear's passion for the outdoors was forged during his childhood in the UK on the Isle of Wight where his late father taught him to climb and sail. Trained from a young age in martial arts, Bear went on to spend three years as a soldier and combat survival instructor in the British Special Forces, serving with 21 SAS. It was here that he perfected many of the skills that his fans all over the world enjoy watching him pit against mother-nature. Today perhaps Bear is best known for his international TV series Man vs. Wild, which has achieved a global audience of over 1.2 billion followers, and his new NBC survival series: Get Out Alive with Bear Grylls.
