Man vs Wild:
Man vs. Wild, also known as Born Survivor: Bear Grylls, Ultimate Survival, Survival Game, or simply Bear Grylls in the United Kingdom, is a Discovery Channel survival television series hosted by Bear Grylls. The series premiered on Channel 4 in the United Kingdom, but later seasons were broadcast on Discovery Channel U.K. Diverse Bristol, a British television production company, created the series. After airing a pilot episode titled “The Rockies” on March 10, 2006, the show premiered on November 10, 2006.
The premise of each episode is that Grylls and his film crew are stranded in a remote location. The episode follows his efforts to survive and return to civilization, which usually necessitates the use of some sort of overnight shelter. There are mostly wild terrains, such as jungles, forests, and other non-urban areas. However, in certain episodes, such as Shipyard Gdynia, industry areas are located in cities. Grylls also discusses successful and unsuccessful survival attempts in the area he is in.
Each episode takes 7-10 days to film. Each show begins with a week of reconnaissance, followed by a flyover of the terrain by Grylls. Grylls is then subjected to two days of intensive survival training, which is followed by a cameraman and a sound engineer. Each program’s location filming and final edit are overseen by the directors. To emphasize his role in presenting survival techniques to the viewer, Grylls is specifically credited as “Presenter.”
According to Grylls, the show’s format is “how to deal with difficulties presented to you”:
I suppose [sic] to bear in mind that this is a worst-case scenario show, and therefore, of course things have to be planned. Otherwise, it would just be me in the wild and nothing happening, you know, ’cause textbook survival says you land, you get yourself comfortable, you wait for rescue, you don’t do anything. It would be a very boring show. The show is how to deal if you fall into quick sand, if you get attacked by an alligator, if you have to make a raft. I get a really good briefing before we go. I know there’s a big river there, there’s gonna be a great cliff climb there, there’s loads of snakes in those rocks, watch out for an alligator. So I do have a good idea of 80 percent of what’s gonna happen.
