Editorial Reviews

Bear Grylls has served with the British Special forces, climbed Everest and explored the Arctic. In this exciting series he shows us how to survive the toughes and most visited environments on the planet by putting himself in the position of a stranded tourist. He parachutes into rain forests, abseils into deserts and lakes, and onto the highest, most inhospitable peaks in America. Using his specialist survival techniques to find his way out of these wildernesses he climbs sheer cliffs, navigates white water and icy crevasses, encounters snakes, spiders and predators and forages for food, from maggots and raw fish, to roots and berries.

4.0 out of 5 stars More Bear adventures! August 22, 2009

By Jacob Colson

Format:DVD

This won't be an in depth review, so I'll keep this short. And this won't be much of a review of Bear Grylls as an expert on surviving in the wild. But, I will say these 10 adventures are entertaining, and it shows us parts of the world that aren't too explored....television wise, that is.

Also, there ARE English subtitles for this season. So, to anybody complaining about the lack of subtitles/closed captions on previous seasons, Discovery does it right with this season. I'm not sure if there are closed captions however, but there are English subtitles only.

Another thing, be prepared, like always, for a strong stomach for at least some of these episodes. Some of what he eats is just awful.

5.0 out of 5 stars MAGNIFICENT!!! September 22, 2009

By C. Roberts

Format:DVD

This is the greatest show on the Discovery Channel by far. Before Man vs Wild I was not very interested in the outdoors but now I'm hooked. I was always in sports growing up and now I want to take that athleticism and apply it to the outdoors. This show has shown me so much of what I have been missing out on in life and I want to get out there and explore just like Bear.

4.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't half taste good October 15, 2009

I definitely enjoyed the season. I was hoping that the episode with Will Farrell was going to be in it but to my dismay, i will have to wait for the next season. there was a little bit of stagnancy in the situations Bear had to face. a lot of the situations that were left for him didn't pan out as unexpected. must say that the bee-sting in the face on the salt pans was a test of endurance. made it through just as the WILDMAN always does. this season is definitely a good addition to the collection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great gift for Dad! May 26, 2010

By D. Hawkins

Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase

We bought this for my Dad, who doesn't have cable tv, and he LOVED it. He's an outdoorsy kind of guy - the type who can label all the different mosses and trees on a nature hike. We also watch this with our 4 1/2 year old and 2 1/2 year old, and they LOVE "the Bug show" they call it. They end up building forts and rivers in the living room - whatever they saw Bear do lately. My husband & I also enjoy this show, and even though you don't know what has been staged and what is real, it is a fun, entertaining and educational show.

4.0 out of 5 stars worthy to be a bear January 27, 2010

By Matt Eckert

Format:DVD

Just got down watching season 3 and it was great. I love the outdoors, camping, fishing etc. This dvd makes sense in a lot of ways, maybe I won't kill a alligator or a python but he does have some good ideas on survival. I found all dvd's to be entertaning and fun to watch. Bear looks like he can adapt to any situation and he is not afraid of anything, maybe because he is trained? I thing everyone will enjoy this season.

5.0 out of 5 stars Grylls is the real deal! November 26, 2010

By All-access Customer

I've heard a lot of people saying that Grylls' show is set up and fake. To those people, I say fooey! There's no faking a bug buffet or a live scorpion meal. This dude is the best. Don't waste your time with Survivorman or the other impostors, Grylls keeps it reals. Great show!

5.0 out of 5 stars One of my son's favorites! June 1, 2013

Finally my wife and I have found a series for my son that illustrates and condones survival skills in some rather diverse, but hazardous environments. Bear has become a hero who approaches any of those potentially life threatening events, with a remarkable sense of confidence and coolness. Thanks for providing a vision of what real men can accomplish.

Of course this isn't the best survival advice! I just love encountering different animals and landscapes, listening to Bear's tactics for these different survival situations, and observing the beauty of the the different places he explores!
