Bear Grylls took the "Can't live without" part literally. Everyone else was bringing their luxury goods and there's Bear with his beef liver jerky.

Bear Grylls' essentials are the most essential essentials you'll ever see

[BaldeWorlde]

Imagine being Bear's kid, packing for a normal day at the beach and dad's like 'you got the maggots?!'

[marcus]

Props to his camera crews on all the trips. What a bunch of unsung heroes, doing the heavy lifting behind the scenes

Bear is literally my childhood, a great guy

[HeyJared]

So excited for this new season of Running Wild. Couple episodes left to watch but shouts to Bear for being a great host.

[mikecolts]

I’ve never watched one of Bear’s shows, but I can tell he is a good human being.

[stefangoosen]

Listen to how kind he is, when he’s speaking about the supplements or jackets, he never says “this is the best you should buy this”, he keeps on mentioning that everyone has their own preference and that there are great products, be he just prefers his specific one.

My dad has a Bear Grylls watch, its actually really nice I have to say and I have some _nice_ watches. Super light and has tritium so the lume won't burn out for about 13 years (25ish to completely fade). Definitely can recommend it.

[jin]

Thoroughly decent dude. Love this guy.

[Parallex]

I've watched this guy going on wild adventures when I was a kid, now I'm all grown up and he's still doing the same thing that he loves, man deserves a lot of respect for putting effort and passion into what he likes to do.

[AK-syhy]

Brilliant interview, one of the best 10 essentials so far.
