In 1998, Bear Grylls became the youngest person alive to summit Mt. Everest a feat than many have gone before and failed to achieve. To this day he still holds the record as the youngest person to climb the summit.

In 2003 Bear led a team across the North Atlantic in a rigid inflatable boat also known as a RIB, across icy frigid waters.

Currently he has his own show on the Discovery Channel entitled "Man Vs. Wild". He takes around a camera crew and gets his kicks out of being dropped in some remote and probably desolate location and allows himself a week to find his way back to civilization while trying to survive. Usually his tools include a canteen, and a piece of flint stone. Bear makes his own fire, finds water sources, hunts and eats any animal he can find, and has even resorted to eating bugs, worms, snakes, and raw fish. The film crew, film his adventure but do not interact and there are times when Bear's life is very much in danger.

There have been many times when Bear's life has been in danger, and many unfortunate people have lost their lives in the survival scenario re-enactments on the show. Bear shows the average person how to survive if stranded in these remote locations, while finding his way back to civilization.
