It's Saturday ... time for a back breaking, skull crushing, leg smashing game of rugby. It was like lightening going through my veins. The gut game of rugby was finished.

Dylan speech - Bear Gryll

If you believe, you can do anything and everything. Bear Gylls, the born survivor.
1
On May the 16th 1998 ,Gylls achieved his childhood dream .He climbed to the summit of Mount Everest at only 23 years old. He was the youngest person to achieved this feat at the time.
Three years later, he led a team of five in a crossing of the north Atlantic. Gylls and his team traveled in a 11 meter long inflatable boat, through big waves and giant ice burgs, in a journey from Halifax to Scotland.
In 2005 Gylls led the first team ever to attempt to para motor over remote jungle and angel falls.

How did achieve the skills to do this?
After leaving school Grylls joined the army. He hiked the Himalayan mountains. Eventually , gyills joined the Territorial Army and served as a SAS for three years. I think he liked the challenge of serving in the SAS for all of this time. While serving he learnt a lot of survival skills. He also learnt to be a good role model and to look at the positive. He learnt resilience. This is to be strong, to keep on trying and to solve problems. And even when you get knocked down you get up and try even harder. But in 1996, in Zambia, he suffered a free fall parachuting accident. He fell from 4,900m which partially crushed three vertebra. Grills came within a whisker away from been paralyzed for life. This ended his SAS career.

 But once again he didn't give up. He went and used his skills to teach. He developed a TV show called man vs wild which gave him a new career.b He went and put him self in dangerous environments and used his skills to survive. The show has featured stunts including Grylls climbing, cliffs jumping from helicopters and eating bugs.
The show became very popular among young boys ... no ... all young people. It became so popular because it taught people how to survive in the wild if they get lost and gives people the belief that they CAN do anything.

bear Grylls ready for anything. He has dared him self to climb Everest. He dared him self to join the army. He dared him self to get lost in dangerous places to teach others.
When he believes he can do anything and everything. He is Bear Grylls; the born survivor.
