Product Description

Conn Iggulden, author of Dangerous Book for Boys

'Wonderful - a Dangerous Book for Men!'


Product Description

Bear Grylls is no stranger to extremes. During a three-year stint in the SAS he was involved in a horrific parachuting accident in Africa and broke his back in three places. Months of rehabilitation followed but, never losing sight of his childhood dream of climbing Everest, Bear went on to become the youngest Briton ever to reach the summit and survive. It was a close-run thing, however, as during the descent he was almost killed in a crevasse, his life saved only by his team-mate and a rope. In 2003 Bear completed another world-record-breaking expedition, leading his team through freezing spray and icebergs across the North Atlantic Ocean in a small inflatable boat. More drama followed as Bear, a karate black belt, set out to show the viewers of Channel 4 what it is really like to complete the gruelling basic training of the Foreign Legion. Now, in Born Survivor which accompanies a brand new eight-part series for Channel 4, the world's ultimate survivor shows us how to stay alive in the most unforgiving conditions on Earth. From crossing piranha-infested rivers and finding fresh food to building bush fires and fighting off grizzly bears - all manner of survival techniques from our most dangerous environments are covered. So, whether you find yourself stranded on a desert island in the Pacific, lost in the Lake District, or stuck in the snow on Greenland, once you've read this book, you too will be able to beat the elements and survive the wild.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bear Grylls is the BEST!, 22 April 2007
By Protein_Muscle (Gibraltar, Europe) - See all my reviews
As a huge fan of Bear Grylls and his Born Survivor (man Vs Wild) Tv show, I HAD to buy this book. On receiving the book and flicking through it, I was very to have bought it. The book is not the typical book that you might want to read cover to cover in an organised fashion, but is more of an A-Z on survival techniques and skills. In the book, Grylls teaches tricks on how to survive in different environments and situations, ocassionaly dipping into his own personal experiences.

The book is choc-a-block with diagrams, pictures and photos from the TV series, which assist the narrative in explaining how to implement several techniques. The book further details useful resources in each situation - ie which leaves are good for building things, where you can find water in nature etc.

If you enjoyed the TV series, you will not be disappointed by the book. It is the perfect complement to the TV show and goes further into explaining the techniques which Grylls used in it.

I cannot wait to put several things into practice when I next go roughing it.

After watching the 'Born survivor' series religiously I decided to buy myself the handbook. The book is not complicated to read and I would recommend it to anyone who likes survival or adventure books.
