As one of the youngest people to climb Everest and complete the gruelling French Foreign Legion training, Bear Grylls
is no stranger
to extremes.Born Survivor puts Bear in situations that test him to the limit and proves how easy it is to be caught by surprise in life and death situations. A two-hour
feature-length special in the Sahara where Bear shows what it takes to survive the
blistering heat, deadly sand storms and lack of food
and water in what
is one of the most hostile places
on Earth.
From the jagged peaks of the Baja peninsula to the scorching sands of Namibia, Bear takes on almost impossible obstacles; battling the elements to show you how to survive in some of the worlds toughest places. As if the environments weren’t dangerous enough, Bear takes on the wildlife; he wrestles an alligator in the Louisiana swamps, reacts violently to a bee-sting in Mexico and goes into underground tunnels hunting for porcupine with the San Bushmen in Namibia.
