Bear Grylls Born Survivor

Bear Grylls the Man

Bear is a man who is famous for survival expeditions and survival clothing, knives and gear. Years ago, Bear Grylls was in a parachuting accident and broke his back in three places. Against all odds he fought his way to recovery, and two years later entered the Guinness Book of Records as the youngest Briton to climb Mount Everest aged only 23. He has since led ground-breaking expeditions across the world and worked closely with Craghoppers to develop the Official Bear Grylls Survival Clothing range.

Not many people know it, but Bear Grylls' real name is actually Edward Michael Grylls. Bearis an old nickname provided by his siblings. Edward Grylls may not be as cool, macho or as branding friendly as Bear, but the man still deserves respect for his survival skills and of course for reaching the summit of Mount Everest. Not only that, but Bear does lots of work and fund raising for charity and inspires millions of young people across the globe to put away the games console and get outdoors. In fact, Bear was named as the UK's Chief Scout, and at the age of 34 he was the youngest ever person to hold the position.
"I feel hugely honoured to be asked to take up this role as Chief Scout - it really is a dream come true," Bear said. He also aims to inspire more adults to volunteer as leaders, so the 33,000 young people currently on waiting lists can join Scout groups. Having conquered such terrain as Everest and the Sahara Dessert Grylls knows that survival is only possible with the right gear, such as his world renowned Survivor Trousers!
