Because, hey, if you’re stupid enough to enter a mineshaft, you might as well try to incur a collapse. The risk pays off when - jackpot! - he finds a length of rusty chain, which he yanks off a support beam. Nonetheless, Grylls lights a torch and heads inside. Grylls is Chief Scout for the United Kingdom, but any Cub Scout will tell you never to explore an abandoned mineshaft. “There could be valuable resources in there.” “It’s worth taking a look inside,” he says. Here’s a little safety tip for you, because Grylls doesn’t mention it: Touching downed electrical wires is generally a terrible idea, so before you do, make absolutely certain they’re not connected to a power source. The next day, he finds an old utility pole and pulls it down to scavenge the wires.
So if you’re scoring at home, the tally so far is one death plunge and one drowning. Unfortunately, the boat sinks in the middle of the lake. It’s an ingenious approach that the average viewer, with just a few hundred hours of training, still would fail to pull off. Grylls pulls an abandoned dinghy out of the shallows, plugs the hole in its hull and fashions a kite sail out of his paraglider. When you’re lying in a mangled heap at the bottom of a waterfall in Montana, your only hope will be to die before the grizzlies arrive. Grylls probably should have noted that unless you’re being chased by cannibals, you should never attempt to climb down a waterfall. Don’t bother trying to figure out how, because chances are that, if you ever get lost on a camping trip, you won’t have a paraglider with you.
Using the cord from his paraglider, the plucky adventurer builds a rope ladder. After paragliding into a mountainous region, Grylls first comes across a 150-foot waterfall. But what’s most striking is how, excluding the helpful tips on eating worms and larvae, the majority of “techniques” he demonstrates are likely to kill anyone foolish enough to emulate them.Ī recent episode in Montana illustrates the point.
Following a scandal a few years ago, the program contains a disclaimer that certain scenes are staged and the crew receives support when encountering life-threatening situations.
