Man vs. Wild Returns to the Discovery Channel

Wilderness Adventures with Bear Grylls!

This August, Man vs. Wild, Discovery Channel's hit show starring real-life adventurer, Bear Grylls, returned for its fourth season. Sadly, I just heard news of the show's return, so I have yet to watch any of the new episodes, but here follow some highlights, and if these are any indication, I think we're in for an exciting fall season of adventures!

He makes this look easy, but most people don't know that he nearly died in a parachuting accident when he was in the British Special Forces. His parachute failed to deploy, and he slammed into the earth, breaking his back in 3 places. From what I can tell, Bear Grylls is a walking miracle...



He looks genuinely scared!

This one is heart-wrenching, but you do what is necessary when it comes to survival.



You can catch new episodes of Man vs. Wild on Wednesday nights @ 9 pm on the Discovery Channel. For more information, check out Discovery's Episode Guide.

Video Highlight: Planet Earth's Great White Shark

Lately, I've been watching the BBC's Hi-Def series, "Planet Earth," and here follows a particular clip that struck me as both horrifying and beautiful. We truly live in an incredible world! I wonder what else is beneath the water...

Disaster Strikes in the Mountains!

Tim Bob struck by lightning!

This is what happens when you hike on an exposed mountain ridge in the middle of a thunder storm...


Rest assured, Tim Bob and Sir Evan will not be acting foolish again together till' Tim Bob has fully recovered from his burns and Sir Evan stops having nightmares.
