Product Description

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 toughest and most remote environments on the planet by putting himself in the position of a stranded tourist. He parachutes into rainforests and abseils into deserts, lakes and 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 predators and forages for maggots, raw fish, alligator meat and live snakes as food.

My 9 year old grandson loves this series. I buy them for him and my daughter gets to watch him close because he wants to be just like Bear Grylls.
But he has learned so much that if I ever got lost I would want him with me.

Yeah, some of the stuff he does in his series is not what an average person could do but if you are in good shape he at least shows you how you would do it. Very entertaining stuff. He presents a lot of stuff all can learn from.

Hey don't try this at home like all Grylls vs Wild seasons but always an adventure with good tips. Hey if you want practical stay alive til they find you survival see Lundin and Stoud else if you have some special forces with "eh, whats a broken bone or two?" in you see Bear.

I like Bear Grylls so this was a nice addition to my collection. If you enjoyed the tv show, you should get the DVDs. They come with a few extras that are worth getting.

3.0 out of 5 stars A little dissapointed........

I'll start by saying that I absolutely love Bear Grylls and Man vs. Wild. I watch Seasons 1-4 constantly on Netflix and could not wait for Season 5 to be released on dvd. So immediately upon receiving it I opened it up and looked at the cover, then I flipped it over and checked out the back and noticed that it was only 8 episodes. Then I read the episode titles and realized that 2 of the 8 were Behind the Scenes and another was "Fan vs. Wild".

I watched the first disc rather quickly (it's only 4 episodes) and enjoyed it very much. Next was disc 2 which starts off with the "Canadian Rockies" episode where the crew uses machines to create situations for Bear so that he can demonstrate things you need to do to survive if you were in a similar predicament. The next episode is "Shooting Survival" basically a behind the scenes, followed by "Fan vs. Wild" and finally "Behind the Wild" (another behind the scenes). So if you are looking for classic Man vs. Wild episodes then you will only get about 3 episodes of that (all on the first disc) and the second disc actually contains no traditional Man vs. Wild type episodes.

Just an fyi on how many episodes each season has.
Season 1 - 15 Episodes
Season 2 - 13 Episodes
Season 3 - 10 Episodes
Season 4 - 11 Episodes
Season 5 - 8 Episodes

Amazon, You should not post items available if they are not in stock! Seeing as how I could not find a box set I had to purchase all the seasons of man vs wild individually. This is the only season ordered offered directly from amazon and you have delayed the shipping THREE times! I've missed giving these as a bday gift and now I will not risk not having it Xmas as now its expected mid Dec? If you didn't in August I doubt you'll have it by the busiest time of the year. You shouldn't be charging credit cards until you ship either!

英国の特殊部隊出身の主人公が、毎回、世界各地の未開地や山奥から、人の住む場所まで生還するというディスカバリーチャンネルの番組のDVD版。2枚組でこの値段はお得かも。英語字幕付き。トナカイやブタを殺して食べ、コオロギやシカの糞も食べ、野宿し、川を渡り……。毎回、やることは似ているんだけど、場所が違うと自然も違うので新しい発見がある。日本のお笑いタレントがやっているような探検番組とはレベルが違うぜ、って感じ。自然の中で何もかも上首尾にいくというわけではないので、こんなことやってて、この人いつか死ぬんじゃないの？と心配になるけど、知識も体力もすごい人なんだろうな。
