Not sure if anyone outside the U.K knows who Bear Grylls is..I suspect some of you may be aware of him...

He is a TV Icon in the U.K as being an Ex SAS Special Forces like Survival action Man. Who does many a TV series on how to Survive in various locations on Earth, from the Cold Artic to Hot Deserts of the World with just a few basic items to aid him.
He often puts his life on the line to demonstate How to do a variety of extremely dangerous things.. and IMO could have been killed or severely injured on many occasion, In which he has been very badly injured in his past..He has at times got into some really dangerous situations that made me cringe and would never want to attempt.

This Program came as a severe surprise to see him having one of his adventures with Obama !
Who wanted to do the program in aid to educating the viewers about his Climate Change Views.
I am not sure if this would have been seen outside the UK as yet.

Yesterday on Channel 4 from 8:00pm to 9:00pm
Channel 4
Survival documentary special. Bear Grylls takes President Barack Obama on an extraordinary adventure in the Alaskan wilderness as they journey to the famed Exit Glacier, where they see the effects of climate change first-hand. Bear gives the President a true taste of Alaska, as the two men cook bear-gnawed salmon and chat around their campfire. From family, fears and faith, to the overwhelming duties as Commander in Chief - and even Bear's penchant for drinking his own urine
I didn't see this , but found it odd that such a programme be created .. what's Putin going to do to raise the bar though ? maybe raising Steve Irwin from the dead and going crocodile skiing from the back of the titanic perhaps ? :D
