A Bear Gryll for Brunch?

I first read about the reality* television show way back in January, watched a few YouTube videos and became hooked. The show is called Ultimate Survival ("Man vs. Wild" in the US) and if you haven't noticed yet, the first episode aired about a month back on Discovery.

Fairly simple format, each week the show's contestant/host, former UK Special Forces soldier Bear Grylls is dropped into a remote hostile environment miles from anywhere, armed with only a knife and sheer determination. He'll eat and drink literally anything to survive

Bear has eaten live snakes, rubbed ice on his body to warm up after jumping into an icy lake, squeezed elephant dung into his mouth for water, ripped raw chunks of meat off a dead zebra with his teeth, drank his own urine, and spent hours constructing a bamboo bridge in attempt to cross a river.

If you are looking for more check out this tribute/highlight reel some fan made and be sure to catch it on Discovery at various times over the next month.

* Some claim it to be not a reality tv show in the slightest. But that's NYPost for you.
