I have to admit it: I love Man vs. Wild.

I saw my first episode in a hotel room in Oakland, California, and I was soon mesmerized. Whether Bear Grylls, the star of the Discovery Channel show, was dropped off in the arctic, on a deserted tropical island or deep within the Amazon rain forest, his weeklong struggles against nature and the elements were fascinating.

The few times my wife and I have both caught an episode together, we’ve wondered aloud afterward if Grylls is actually on his own or not. Turns out, the answer is most of the time.

For a great exclusive with the British Special Forces chap, check out the Outside magazine article in the November 2007 issue or the full interview here. Great stuff!
