The phony bear faked it in Kilauea Volcano
also. He taped most of the show a few
hundred feet from the highway. He didn't
even hike the easy three miles from the
landing site to the final destination. Most
of the scenes in the show don't exist in the
area he was supposed to be in: avocado trees,
lava tube, tropical forest, fissures, and
landing site are all in different parts of
the island and separated by up to 50 miles. I
have hiked this area hundreds of times. I can
understand how people who have not been to
the area may think it's legitimate, but I was
surprised how easy it was to dupe the
Discovery Channel. It would be suicidal to
follow the foolish advice given by this show.
In this clip, the phony bear is supposed to
be next to the ocean and is trying to cross
these fissures to get there. He is, in fact,
at the SW Rift Zone at the 4000 foot summit
of Kilauea about 50 highway miles away from
his very next scene next to the ocean. These
fissures are unique to a small area on the
summit and are a very popular tourist viewing
area. They are only a few hundred feet long
and easy to go around. Only the phony bear
seems to have trouble crossing them. He
makes up silly solutions to problems which
don't exist. The fissures are located next
to the parking area on the Crater Rim Drive
shown on the clip.
Update: The original concept was that Bear
Grylls would be dropped into remote areas and
make his way to civilization with no help.
The Discovery Channel removed this episode
and several others from circulation after
they were shown to be fake. Other early
episodes were edited to remove fake scenes
and disclose that he received help from the
crew. Disclaimers on recent episodes
disclose that scenes are staged.

Bear Grylls is one of the most well known and
successful, young adventurers in the world.
At just 23 years old, he became The Youngest
Briton to climb Mount Everest.
In August 2003, he led the first crew to
cross the Atlantic via the Arctic Circle in
an open rigid inflatable boat. in September
1997, he became the Youngest Briton to climb
Mount Ama Dablam in the Himalayas (22,500
feet), a peak described by Sir Edmond Hillary
as unclimbable. This year Bear co wrote and
presented a TV series for Channel 4, Escape
To The Legion which will broadcast from July
5th at 9.00pm and he is already preparing for
two more televised expeditions.
Bears achievements are made even more
extraordinary when you discover that just two
years before he climbed Everest he suffered a
near fatal parachuting accident in Africa;
breaking his back in three places and
narrowly escaping a life of paralysis. He
spent a torturous year of rehabilitation
constantly facing the fact that he might
never walk again, let alone achieve his
childhood dream of climbing Everest. Despite
moments of great pain and despair, Bear
worked hard to regain full mobility and
together with a team of friends he planned
his expedition. With characteristic
determination and charm he raised the
enormous sponsorship needed and began
training for the daunting challenge.
Enduring extreme weather for ninety days, two
months of limited sleep and surviving running
out of oxygen in the upper regions of the
death zone (above 26,000 feet). Bear is one
of only thirty British climbers to have
successfully completed climbing Everest and
return alive. The death toll on Mount Everest
rises every year, out of every six
mountaineers who make it to the top, one will
die. Bear himself had a narrow escape. On the
way down from his first reconnaissance climb,
whilst navigating the perilous Khumbu
Icefall, the ice cracked and he fell into a
1,000 feet deep crevasse. He was knocked
unconscious and had it not been for his
team-mates he would not be alive today. This
particular incident was dramatised as part of
the award winning, Sure For Men advertising
campaign, which starred Bear and was
broadcast worldwide.
Bear has written two books, Facing Up
(published in America under the title, The
Kid Who Climbed Everest), records his Everest
expedition and soared into the bestseller
list selling over 70,000 copies in the UK
alone and Facing The Frozen Ocean (his arctic
expedition) which was published by Macmillan
in 2004.
Before climbing Everest, Bear spent three
years as a Specialist Combat Survival
Instructor and Patrol Medic with the British
Special Forces. As a keen environmentalist,
he led the first team to Jet Ski around
Britain testing a pioneering new fuel made
from rubbish and owns a nature reserve on an
island, off the Welsh coast. When he is not
on his island, Bear lives on a houseboat in
London with his wife Shara, baby Jesse and
Nima the Labrador.
His natural talent for communicating and
entertaining on all levels with everyone and
anyone has made him a popular personality in
his own right. As one of the youngest and
most successful motivational speakers on the
international business circuit, Bear has won
over even the toughest of audiences and has a
list of extremely impressive references to
his credit.
