Hi Folks,
An off-technical post again from my side! Even I don’t know if my blog is going on to technical side or non-technical posts are over powering the technical ones. Anyways, as long as the posts are interesting & worth sharing, let them go on my blog! All of you guys must be watching TV shows. Some of you might be interested in watching daily soap operas while some might
be more inclined towards watching adventurous kind of shows, one of them being “Man vs Wild” aired on Discovery Channel every week.
I personally like this show very much and never miss any episode of this show. Thanks to Discovery Networks for producing marvellous shows like this.
Man vs Wild featuring Bear Grylls is a new series on the The Discovery Channel. In this series mountaineer and adventurist Bear Grylls demonstrates survival skills through conditions unimaginable to the average man. Each episode depicts man’s venture into the most extreme situations ever aired.

In the show, Grylls demonstrates and narrates techniques for survival in regions around the globe. The general format of each episode is that Grylls is left stranded in a region. The episode documents his efforts to survive and find a way back to civilization, usually requiring an overnight shelter of some kind. Bear also tells about successful and failed survivals in the particular area he is in.
Each episode takes about one week to shoot. Before each shooting the crew does about a week of on field survey, followed by Bear Grylls doing a flyover of the terrain. Grylls then undergoes two days of intensive survival briefings.
Grylls spend two days on location prior to dropping in and goes through all the safety and other important briefings as well as being briefed on local conditions such as flora and fauna by local rangers and a local bushcraft expert. He is followed on the program by a cameraman and a sound engineer.
