I saw Bear Grylls maybe a month ago with his wife in Starbucks. He came in and instantly a guy with a “help for hero’s” shirt on spotted him and asked for a photo, and even though it looked like Bear was in a bit of a rush he couldn’t have been more gracious and had a little chat with everyone that asked for a photo before heading back to the most Bear Grylls car you can imagine, a slightly muddy Land Rover. Really is as kind and as humble as he comes across in this interview, in real life.

[@hudsonja]

What a classy answer for the question about Everest. He could have easily gone the route of saying they did it when it was way easier and it was much more risky when he did it and the whole deal, but he instead acknowledged that it's still no easy feat and the challenge is still there, regardless of all the innovation. Respect. A lot of people could learn not to bash anyone's achievements just because they did it differently than you did it.

I had a feeling he would do that. I agree that they have greatly improved the tech and gear. But at the cost of many more people on the mountain at the same time, which creates dangerous traffic jams. It's Death Zone Disneyland.

[@Mike_Dubayou]

@@xnavalnco Things on the show were 'faked', but I think its a gross overstatement to say he is fake. Hes done plenty of 'real' stuff on the shows as well. I remember years back there was the trend of "Man vs Wild VS Survivorman". IIRC, the overwhelming conclusion was Survivorman was more 'authentic', but I dont remember Man vs Wild being proven to just be a drama. Im not sure what hes said that could be a lie or not so I cant comment on that. I did 0 research for this post, mostly goin off memory. I could certainly be wrong.

[@d4rk0v3]

@@Mike_Dubayou Man Vs Wild was just a drama. He never slept in the shelters he made. He never actually ate the food he ate outside of the one-bite stunts. He slept in hotels nearby, or large comfortable tents where he had hot meals and snack breaks from shooting. He would do a stunt, hop on a quad, in a truck or in a chopper to the next location to do the next stunt. Man Vs Wild was entirely a reality show drama with no authentic survival at all. In fact almost everything he did was 100% antithetical to actual survival technique and following any of the advice on the show increases your likelihood of death, not survival. For his willingness to try to present the show as something else for such a long time, I have no respect for Bear Grylls. This is an episode I'm going to just skip.
