Boy,nine,survives wilderness thanks to tips from Bear Grylls

Rating:*****

This article about a nine year old boy surviving in the wilderness for 24 hours after being separated from the group he was with is pretty mind blowing because most kids that age would panic and cry but this boy used what he learned from the show Man vs Wild with Bear Grylls to survive til he was rescued by a search team.Despite being scared the boy named Grayson remembered from Grylls show to find a place of shelter and spent the night under a fallen tree and using his bare hands he ripped up his jacket and tied the pieces to the trees making an effective shelter.When Grayson heard a helicopter overhead, he ran into a meadow and waved the last piece of his jacket and was rescued.This made me think about just how helpful it can be to know what there is about surviving in the wilderness from survival shows and as a visual learner I can definitely benefit from watching them.I plan on camping in the future and this inspires me because if a 9 year old boy can do it without any preparation but pure wits from Man vs Wild then I can do it deliberately and make it a good experience minus the trauma the boy must have endured.After reading this article I am going to watch every single one of Bear Grylls Man vs Wild episodes because there is a lot to take away from them and it could save you in a survival situation like it did with this boy.If you are ever in a survival situation you will be glad you watched them and I’m glad it has has come to my attention that the show is indeed very helpful in teaching you to survive in real life scenarios.
