You Vs the World: The Bear Grylls Guide to Never Giving Up

Product Information

I always like that quote that says, ‘you never want to arrive at the end of your life in a perfectly preserved body’. That’s a waste. You want to come skidding in sideways, covered in scars, beaten up and screaming, ‘Yahoo! What a ride!’” he laughs. For the episodes that have more of a story frame, like the one where he has to rescue the dog, how much did Bear know going in? Did he know where the dog was going to be, or did he figure that out in real time?

Obviously the dog wasn’t really stranded. We created that sandbox for Bear to play in. Bear didn’t know where the dog was, so we as the producers tried to stay one step ahead of Bear. It’s much easier for him to improvise if there is some uncertainty. As we put obstacles in front of him, we’d say, “What are two ways you could do this?” And off he’d go. What I meant by the improvisation was, whether Bear fell off the log or not, or whether he made it across on the vine, we didn’t know which way was going to be right and which was going to be wrong until after he did it. So then we’d say, “Okay, that worked, so this moves us on to the next obstacle.” Or, “Shoot, that really screwed up. This is a dead end for the viewer.”

There are some circumstances where both options work. You always get funneled onto the frozen lake, for instance. But once you’re on the frozen lake, he knows he’s probably going to fall through it unless he crawls, right?This makes me feel better, because I poisoned him several times over the course of watching the show. Right. But that being said, it’s a simulation. So we do want to simulate what would happen if you touched that milky substance. Correct. The cameramen stopped because they had to change batteries, and they needed a break because those cameras weigh 40 pounds. I was like, “Aw man, we should be filming this!” But it was too late to capture it. And it was for Netflix Kids, so I didn’t know how they’d feel about naked Bear Grylls. Then what happens? Because on the show, he hauls himself out of the lake and the episode ends. He was really in that lake, wasn’t he? How dangerous is that? Do producers swarm him and warm him up as soon as he gets out?

I don’t know. Am I going to be doing this when I’m 70? Are you going to be doing this when you’re 70? The experience gave me a real fire to go out there once my rehab was done. I remember thinking, ‘If you’ve got the chance, don’t be scared to follow your dreams – just go for it. You might fail big, sure, but you have to try.’” I’ve always loved bringing my sons up to embrace risk, embrace danger. I want them to become ninjas at handling everything.” I was at a Scouting event the other day and a guy came up and said, ‘I was one of the people who helped select you as Chief Scout. I’m an old man now, but 15 years on, you don’t look any different.’
