Man vs. Wild is a survival television series on the Discovery Channel hosted by Bear Grylls. The series features Grylls purposefully demonstrating extreme methods of survival in harsh conditions. The program has shown him eating raw meat and live fish, staving off hypothermia after intentionally jumping in a frozen lake, and drinking the fluids of elephant feces and his own urine for hydration. Here are the remote location he has already traveled to:

1.	Rocky Mountains - Pilot - (October 27, 2006): Bear gets dropped in the middle of the Rocky Mountain ranges and must find his way to civilization. On his way out, he must evade the danger of grizzly bears, jump 30 feet into a river, and abseil down a cliff.
2.	Moab Desert – (November 10, 2006): Bear Grylls demonstrates how to survive a situation like that of someone who got lost in the desert. He is left in the harsh Moab Desert in Utah, in 110 degree temperatures, and goes about finding food, water, shelter and shows how to use the flow of rivers as tools to find civilization.
3.	Costa Rican Rain Forest – (November 17, 2006): Bear parachutes into the Osa Peninsula to demonstrate how someone lost in the jungle can make it to civilization. He encounters snakes, mosquitoes and dangerous river currents, while searching for food and water and setting up camp.
4.	Chugach Mountains – Alaska (November 24, 2006): Grylls is dropped in the Chugach mountains in Alaska, with skis and his usual gear. He demonstrates glissading as he traverses snow and glaciers, and climbs down a 200 ft. waterfall. He catches a salmon, which he eats raw, and appropriates a skiff from an abandoned lodge. The skiff sinks, but he reaches the shore and is spotted by a ship [3].
5.	Mount Kilauea - Hawaii (December 1, 2006)
6.	Sierra Nevada – (December 8, 2006)
7.	African Savanna – (December 15, 2006): Bear skydives into North Kenya to face the dangerous landscape of African brushland. He encounters lions, elephants and hyenas on his trek to find civilization.
8.	European Alps – France (December 22, 2006)
9.	Deserted Island – (December 29, 2006): Bear emulates what it would be like to be stranded on an uninhabited island in the Pacific Ocean. He demonstrates how to make shelter, find food, get hydrated and ultimately, after resources run out, to make a raft and try to be rescued on the high seas. On his raft he encountered a tiger shark.
10.	Everglades - (June 15, 2007): Bear Grylls gets stranded in the swamps of the Florida Everglades, where each year at least 60 tourists need to be rescued. With more than a million alligators, thousands of snakes and even black bears roaming these waterlogged lands, the area has more than its share of hazards. Bear demonstrates how to keep alligators at bay, and deal with vicious razor-sharp grass, and shows viewers how to cook a turtle Seminole-style.
11.	Iceland - (June 22, 2007): Adventurer Bear Grylls demonstrates how to make a snow cave, find water in deep tunnels, and avoid frostbite in this Arctic environment. Because finding food is a problem in this climate, Bear is forced to eat a sheep's eyeball and catch a ptarmigan. He also has to deal with blizzards and 50 mph winds as he attempts to reach safety.
12.	Mexico (June 29, 2007): Bear Grylls demonstrates how to build a simple compass and climb sheer cliffs safely in Copper Canyon. For shelter, he uses ancient caves and makes fire with a traditional "fire saw." Bear also offers important techniques for finding scorpions or grubs and fishing without a rod or line.
13.	Kimberley, Australia - (July 6, 2007): Bear travels to Australia’s Kimberly region, which is roughly the size of California and a mixture of huge scrub deserts, dry riverbeds and red sandstone cliffs full of deep gorges. Bear puts himself in the position of a lost tourist to demonstrate how to prevent sunstroke, find bush tucker and explain why drinking your own urine could save your life. He also identifies what you can eat in the outback. During his journey, Bear builds a shelter in the middle of a lightning storm and confronts Australia's deadly saltwater crocodiles.
14.	Ecuador - (July 13, 2007): Bear paraglides onto the edge of the Andes and follows rivers into the jungle -— bringing him face to face with huge colonies of spear-nosed bats, giant weevil grubs and vicious piranhas. Bear builds a bamboo bridge and a bow and arrow to successfully catch fish, but it doesn't always go his way and he's forced to ride the rapids of the Amazon on a single tree trunk.
15.	Scotland - (July 20, 2007): Bear Grylls shows how to navigate the Cairngorms region using ice formations and moss growth, and tests snow slopes for avalanche potential. He uses moss to purify water and skins a red deer for shelter. For food, he traps and cooks a rabbit. Bear crosses deep marshes that can swallow a person and uses fallen trees to cross ravines.
