This is one of my favorite shows on the discovery channel! Bear Grylls, a former British army special forces unit officer, takes you on an survivor adventure from the Florida Everglades to the Scotland Cairongornes. His amazing display of survival skills can leave you in awe. Bear shows how nature can give clues to finding which way is north or south, as well as how to make shelter. Sometimes the scenes are quite graphic and the foods he has to eat are disgusting. This show captivates you on all levels because he shows you that the impossible can be done. Bear not only emphasizes the physical aspects, but the mental aspects as well. In order to survive, one needs endurance, mental stamina, mental strength, will-power, self-determination, perseverance, courage, and positive thinking.

• He has even written books that you can get on Amazon.com:

  The Kid Who Climbed Everest: The Incredible Story of a 23-Year-Old’s Summit of Mt. Everest
