Bear Grylls Quote

The second element to why the show has worked is undoubtedly my team.And guess what? I am not alone out there.I work with a truly brilliant, small tight-knit crew. Four or five guys. Heroes to a man.They work their nuts off. Unsung. Up to their necks in the dirt. Alongside me in more hellholes than you could ever imagine.They are mainly made up of ex-Special Forces buddies and top adventure cameramen--as tough as they come, and best friends.It’s no surprise that all the behind-the-scenes episodes we do are so popular--people like to hear the inside stories about what it is really like when things go a little wild. As they often do.My crew are incredible--truly--and they provide me with so much of my motivation to do this show. Without them I am nothing.Simon Reay brilliantly told me on episode one: Don’t present this, Bear, just do it--and tell me along the way what the hell you are doing and why. It looks amazing. Just tell me.That became the show.And there is the heroic Danny Cane, who reckoned I should just: Suck an earthworm up between your teeth, and chomp it down raw. They’ll love it, Bear. Trust me!Inspired.Producers, directors, the office team and the field crew. My buddies. Steve Rankin, Scott Tankard, Steve Shearman, Dave Pearce, Ian Dray, Nick Parks, Woody, Stani, Ross, Duncan Gaudin, Rob Llewellyn, Pete Lee, Paul Ritz, and Dan Etheridge--plus so many others, helping behind the scenes back in the UK.Multiple teams. One goal.Keeping one another alive.On, and do the field team share their food with me, help collect firewood, and join in tying knots on my rafts?All the time. We are a team.
