Default Could you beat Bear Grylls?

I can think of a couple of people on here who wouldn't mind the chance to take on Bear Grylls

Pity this isn't really serious stuff, 10 people will challenge Grylls this month as part of a soft drink promotion. Each challenger has chosen their own specialty in a bid to beat the ultimate survival man,the best they can come up with is a lemon-eating contest and AussiePong, a game of ping pong played with a saucepan instead of a paddle.
Brisbane's entrant sounds like a pretty tough guy to beat though, "I did gymnastics when I was really young and I can do stupid stuff like back-flips," he said. He also once ate a raw pilchard and said "that was pretty gross".

The nice Mr Grylls must be quaking in his hiking boots.......

No doubt some enterprising member will draw parallels with the female condition... and the activity you are alluding to....

I'd like to challenge him in a load-carry over several tens of miles. First over the line wins. On the flat, or over undulating country - he can choose.

I'll challenge him to survive a one day hike without the aid of a camera crew.

Wanker.

Well I was going to but you've rather taken the sting out of it now.

That is all very well but can he do what real ex-SAS men do and wash it down with his own piss? Waste not want not.

I'd challenge him to a night out in Joondalup, including a trip to the kebab shop.

He drinks his pee at least once every episode. My son loves telling me about it in great detail. I'm very grateful to Mr Grylls, writing about him has taken my son from a two sentence report writer into an A grade essay writer. Still can't stand to watch him myself though.
