Bear Grylls

Nobody knows survival like Bear Grylls. There is a barely a terrain he hasn’t conquered or an extreme environment he hasn’t experienced. Over the years — from his time in 21 SAS, through to his extraordinary expeditions climbing (and paragliding over) Everest, travelling through the Arctic’s treacherous Northwest Passage, crossing the world’s oceans and taking part in expeditions to the toughest corners of each of the seven continents — Bear has accumulated an astonishing wealth of survival knowledge.

From surviving a bear attack to navigating using the stars, from escaping a burning building to driving off-road, international TV host, Chief Scout and bestselling author Bear Grylls joins us to talk about his life and experiences and introduce his latest book How To Stay Alive, his essential guide for surviving the modern world.

Adventure TV host Bear Grylls is an ex 21 SAS soldier and No1 bestselling author who became one of the youngest-ever climbers of Mount Everest. He has hosted more extreme adventure TV shows across more global networks than anyone else in the world, including the BAFTA award-winning The Island with Bear Grylls, Man vs. Wild, Running Wild for NBC and Absolute Wild for Chinese TV. He is an honorary Colonel to the Royal Marine Commandos and the youngest-ever Chief Scout, an inspiration to forty million Scouts worldwide.
