He stood on the muddy road, thinking of a clever game. At this time, a truck full of pigs came from a distance. When he was about to drive through bear grylls, he jumped up, grabbed the crossbar of the carriage and hung it behind the car. The stench of pigs mixed with humid and sultry air blew into Bell's nose. "Oh, it tastes terrible." Bell complained. After enduring dozens of kilometers of bumps and stench, the truck finally approached the jungle. When crossing a river, Bell let go and jumped into the river. When he leaned out of the river, he saw a cane broken by a typhoon hanging on the river, wrapped in a cobra that spat at him. "This is the first friend to welcome me." Bear grylls laughed and thus began his adventure in China. 10On June 5438+05, after filming the China special of Discovery and Snowflake Beer, bear grylls rushed back to Beijing overnight and appeared in front of reporters. He stayed in the jungle for a whole week. Speaking of his trip to China, he was very excited. In his eyes, China, with its diverse landforms and ecology, looks like a huge casino. "Experiencing the rainforest in Hainan Island is my hardest experience." Bell said with emotion.
Bear grylls, the man who is eager to be, may be the man who is eager to be. At least for now, there seems to be no place in the world where it is difficult to beat him. Once a special soldier of the British 2 1 Airborne Secret Service, he is now the most famous explorer in Britain and even in the world. His program "Man vs Wild" hosted by Discovery Channel has a large number of loyal fans all over the world. In the program, he always appears in front of the camera with only a dagger and smiles, telling people how to survive in an impossible place and how to escape.
Bell picked up a wooden stick with a sharpened end, wound it with thick hemp rope several times, and stood on a wooden trough with a handful of dry sawdust beside it. He pulled the hemp rope and let the stick stand on the wooden trough for friction, demonstrating to reporters the legendary "drilling wood for fire". Two minutes later, the temperature at the tip of the stick began to rise, and smoke came out of the sawdust. "It looks simple, but it takes some skill and patience," Bell said. "Drilling wood for fire" is only the least of many skills. As people see on TV, he will catch fish with pants and fight crocodiles with his bare hands. He chewed the dead zebra on the African grassland, sometimes happily jumped into the frozen lake in the Alps, or made a small raft to escape on a desert island in the South Pacific. This is a seemingly fearless hero. In Bell's mind, there are three real heroes: Robin Hood, a rebellious hero, roger federer, a tennis genius, and his father. "My father is a very kind person. He is cheerful all day, likes joking and has a cheerful personality. I am very lucky to have such a father. "
Everyone is indelibly influenced by his father or mother. Bell's father likes climbing mountains very much. "If I want to get close to my father, the best way is to climb the mountain with him." When Dambert was a child, he and his father climbed mountains everywhere. At that time, the lively boy was full of curiosity about the unknown world. As an adult, Bell decided to join the army and become a special soldier. "I don't want to work in the army for many years. I hope to do my best through my experience in special forces. " 1994, Bell became a swordsman in the British 2 1 Airborne Secret Service after strict selection by special forces. His training includes unarmed combat, desert and cold fighting, survival skills, medical care, skydiving, signaling, avoiding driving, climbing and explosion.
Special forces experienced Jambers and learned things that normal life can't get, including strong confidence and belief. "Many of the methods you saw on TV were created when I had to. People often say that you are a very good teacher at a critical moment, and you will create something useful at that time. " During his service, Bell went to North Africa twice. 1at the end of 996, he was injured in free skydiving in southern Africa and had to terminate his special forces career. After that, he spent a year in the British military rehabilitation center to treat his back injury. After recovery, Bell plans to do something different to further develop his life. His childhood dream is to climb Mount Everest, which is the dream of all mountaineers. 1997, reaching Amadabram Peak in Himalayas; 1998, he became the youngest mountaineer to climb the summit of Mount Everest. In 2000, Bell led his team to drive a jet ski around the British Isles. Before becoming the host of Escape from the Wilderness, Bell was very famous in the world of exploration. In addition to his adventures, he is also a best-selling author. His book Face to Face published in 2000 tells the story of his climbing Mount Everest. This book has won the top ten books in Britain.
The cooperation with Discovery undoubtedly made him a world-famous figure. Bell participated in a TV series called "The Exile of the Corps". He took a cameraman to shoot a French foreign legion, and Discovery Channel participated in the filming. That's when Discovery found him and the producer found Bell. "He said,' We want to do something with you.' "Bell recalled. In a chat, the producer suggested, "Why not throw you into a no-man's land and film how you survive and escape in the wild? "This is the original inspiration of" Survival in the Wilderness "series. Bell agreed to this proposal. " I told him that it was no problem, as long as I didn't force a smile and did something' civilized and kind'. As long as you can be yourself, it doesn't matter if you are ashamed. As long as I can truly express myself in the program. So we filmed together. "In order to adapt to the workload of living in the wild, Bell spends six days a week exercising, including running in the mountains with his dog one day, and then doing some cycle training. Besides, Bell also does yoga, which is his favorite sport. His favorite food is avocado. He tries to eat healthily during normal meals and hardly eats dairy products, fish or meat.
The greatest weapon of mankind is thought. "This program not only teaches people to survive, but also teaches people to feel life, enjoy life and pursue their dreams."
Survival in the Wilderness has been filmed for more than forty episodes all over the world, from the Rocky Mountains to Alaska, to Kenya, Australia, Costa Rica and so on. Most of the time, Bell stayed in a cold, humid or miserable environment and went through hardships. Among these documentaries, the most jaw-dropping thing is that apart from the fact that Bell can save the day every time he is in a desperate situation, there are all kinds of strange things he eats in the program. He seems to have special skills, knowing what can supplement protein, what is the safest alternative water source, and what can provide heat for the body at the fastest speed. In Bell's view, everything is food. He eats crocodiles and sheep testicles, drinks his own urine when he is too thirsty, and squeezes drinkable water out of elephant feces. Everything that is unlikely to become human food has found the possibility of eating here. Due to the strong response from the audience, Discovery Channel also made a special diet article "Escape from the Wilderness", which included all the strange things he had eaten.
The first strange thing that Bell ate was a worm. He had a psychological struggle for a few minutes and put the bug in his mouth, as he often described later on the show, "I felt my internal organs explode in my mouth and turn into liquid." At first, Jambers almost felt sick, but now he has been through many battles and it doesn't matter what he eats. "The hungrier you are, the more delicious the worms are." Bell smiled. "In life, we think that chicken, duck and fish are delicious, but when we enter the forest, it will become the weakest link in the food chain. In the jungle, our bodies may be very weak, but human beings have a great weapon-our brains. We can overcome all kinds of difficulties with our heart. " Bell said. This time in the jungle of Hainan, the first animal that Bell ate was a mouse. He made some mousetraps with banana leaves near where he slept at night. The next morning, a few mice caught in the trap became his breakfast. His Chinese food is frogs. He chewed the frog's thigh and invited the photographer to "enjoy" with him. Bell's dinner is a little different: bats. This food is definitely a surprise. As night falls, Bell is preparing to find a place to spend the night. At this time, he found a cave hidden in the jungle, which used to be the place where the army placed weapons and ammunition during the war, but now it has been abandoned and is now occupied by many bats. Bell is going to use this cave as a habitat, so he will drive these bats away first. "I made something similar to a tennis racket with rattan and wicker branches, then lit some remaining branches and threw them into the hole. Stimulated by the smoke, the bat escaped and flew out. I killed the bat with my newly made tennis racket. " Bell was still very excited when he mentioned that scene. "You know what? I regard that process as a tennis match, one shot at a time! " In the end, Bell won the tennis match and many bats' dinners.
Bell was also punished for eating indiscriminately. His opponent is a wasp. In a program, he saw a big hornet's nest on the road. "I just wanted to taste honey, but I didn't expect to be stung." As a result, he was stung by a swarm of wasps, covered in big bags and embarrassed. His photographer laughed at him mercilessly behind his back. "He said you fought crocodiles and sharks, but you were defeated by a little wasp. So the wild is full of unknowns. " Bear reluctantly spread out his hand. Despite always eating strange things, Bell still loves this job. "I have too many dreams, hobbies and passions, and I may have to live twenty times to realize these dreams one by one. For me, my childhood dream is coming true. I liked climbing trees when I was a child. Now my job makes me climb trees and roll in the mud, and someone can pay you. What can I ask? "
