I'm bear grills

I've served the British Special Forces

I've climbed the summit of Everest and

cross the frozen oceans of the Arctic

now my challenge is to go alone

into one of America's deadliest places

the Rocky Mountains

millions of people visit every year

2000 don't return alive it's gonna get right away

I'm going

into one of the most remote areas of the Rockies

with only the clothes I'm wearing

to show you how to be

an ultimate survivor

I'm flying at 10,000 feet over the Rockies

somewhere near the Canadian border

since most people who end up in trouble here

are caught by surprise

my team has arranged one for me

at any moment the pilot will tell me to jump

where I don't know

I don't have a map spare clothing water or food

not even a cell phone

my mission is simple

use all my skills to get out alive in under 5 days

a camera crew will follow me on the ground

but the rules are very clear

no interaction with me is allowed

they can intervene only in a matter of life

or death

that really hurts

this is always a danger when jumping into the unknown

this is only the second

time I've had a problem with my landing

the first time I broke my back

and I've got to somehow

try and work out a way of getting out of here

I'm at least 60 feet up

if I jump I'll break my leg

there's only one way out of this

and it's something I've never done before

I'm gonna have to use my emergency parachute

to get me down

and now what got to try and do

is climb down the canopy of this

but when I drop

keep hold of one side of it so I bring it down with me

because I'm gonna need these rigging lines

for getting myself out of this

place I got myself into

and the final thing I've got to remember

is when I land from this height this is

going to be about 24 drop off the bottom of this

I've got to roll

land my legs feed together

and avoid landing

like a sack of potatoes

sorry guys

I'm done

in a bit of a mess but out of that tree

the one light thing that I managed to

salvage from my parachute

were some of these rigging lines

and I'm gonna be doing things like crossing ravines

rivers climbing cliffs

and to have something

that can hold my weight I can lash logs together with

and also catch fish

is gonna be a real real benefit to me out here

getting lost in the mountains can be terrifying

and is much easier than you might think

in June 2005 an 11 year old Boy Scout Brennan Hawkins

was out hiking with his group

when he just simply vanished

after four days of intensive searching

he was found severely dehydrated

only 5 miles from his camp

his rescuers believe

that if it hadn't been the month of June

he would have died of hypothermia

if you do get lost like Brennan

try to keep calm and come up with a plan

and my plan is

to get my bearings and look for a river

there's an old rule that's a good one

when you're lost in the wild

find a stream or a river

then hunt for a track

because that will lead you to a road and safety

but that's easier said than done

the Rockies are over 750 thousand square miles

of wilderness

covering seven US states and two Canadian

I could be looking for a very long time

although it's September

the weather here can be really deceptive

during the day like now

it's around 65 degrees Fahrenheit

but later at night it can drop to below 0

they say there are just two seasons in the Rockies

June and winter

it's about 5 p

m now and it's almost dusk

and there's probably only about an hour of light left

and the priority really for me now is to find shelter

and something to eat

okay the key to

building a shelter is

you want something that's gonna keep you warm

it's gonna keep you dry for the bubbles

it's not gonna expend huge amount of energy to build

and what I'm gonna do

is make what they call a debris shelter

and it's really simple

to do all I do is

pick this thing up

drag it along

and I've got my base of it here

and then really just try and clear

all these under branches

and

get all of this mosh

of pine needles

and I'll do this now

on both sides

and then I need just to find loads of moss

moss like this

for the roof is gonna

protect me from the wind and the rain

this is gonna be beautiful

and it's gonna get me really snuck

with temperatures approaching near freezing at night

the inside of the shelter could be as much as

10 degrees warmer

and one of the most important things I've done here

is really put

masses and master the pine needles

as the color ground bedding here

and the reason this is so important

is you lose majority of your heat

through your body and through the ground

but with enough of this this is gonna hold the heat

and insulate me

above and below

while I'm building the shelter

and turning over loads of logs

often when you

you go under these wow

go under these things

you'll find here go look

look like millipedes

surviving in the wild is all about finding food

using the least amount of energy

but I've got to check

these have got four legs per body segment

centipedes are very similar

but have only two and can give you a nasty bite

disgusting as it looks there's good protein

one of the things I haven't got that

would be so useful for me out here as a knife

and one of the easiest ways of improvising a

knife is to make what they call

a diss knife and the way you do this is just

just to grab

and call a hammerstone and a normal bit of stone

and give it a good

and here we go look that's

a really good bit sharp

bit of Flint that I'll be able to gut fish with

and use for all feather sticks

making tinder and loads of everything

as night falls it's getting much colder

and I need to get a fire going

okay trying to get some firewood here

a bit more here

whoa whoa

looks it come in come in quick quick

a rattlesnake one of the Rocky's deadliest creatures

is he dead

look I was gonna give him another cut

my heart's really thumping

that's why you gotta be so careful getting

looking under these sort of logs but

I really actually hate snakes

and

it's definitely made me a little

less comfortable about my shelter but

that is gonna make

a good bit of dinner

Ford gets dark I really need to get a fire game

and the best way out here in the Rockies

with all this dry pine and spruce

is a hand drill method

use your rock to make a notch and a log

and by rotating the drill ignite a spark

with very dry kindling

it's not easy

be prepared it can take a long time

show you that shot actually these stoves can be

my disc knife is already proving useful

first thing to do is to get rid of the venomer's head

okay that's a head off I peel this little bit back

here she comes

here she comes there she comes

and that's all it got sent coming out

get rid of the last bit of the guts

and

that's the skin all its back end

that

is gonna be beautiful meat

one of the things that's really important

is to make sure I never leave

any of the guts of any of the animals that I'm eating

lying around

this sort of stuff any guts is really gonna attract

wolves or bears

and I don't want any of them anywhere near where I am

so what I'm gonna do put that on the fire to burn

along with

that

head that's full of all the venom and again

I want that to be burnt well and truly

so there we go

and then

I'm gonna cook this

baby

and I've jammed the top bit of the meat into this stick

wrap this around

that

is ready for the Barbie

this area is full of grizzlies

and they can smell food up to 20 miles away

so I have to be extravigilant

I recently heard a story about a husband and wife team

who were stalked by grizzly in their campsite

while they slept

the grizzly dragged the man away ripping a scalp off

luckily the Grizzy lost interest

and the couple both ran 10 miles

before feeling safe again

I reckon this is cooked now and a good way of

trying to tell

is if you can peel the fibers off of this meat

it's generally a sign it's pretty well cooked

and

they also normally taste quite like chicken

and it's beautiful

it's really really good

it's time to turn in

I wonder how much sleep I'll get

and if I'm really alone

I don't like this at all I don't like this

just turning this camera on

I don't know if you can hear this but

there's definitely something

something scurrying around outside and it's probably

it's probably just a deer but

there you go you can hear it again

can you hear it's definitely something how we

I just had a really heavy footstep out there

and I don't know I'm gonna try

and try and see if I see anything with a camera but

something I move past it past the shadow of the fire

and it's so hard to tell what it is but

it sounded just

I don't like this at all I don't like this come on

there's definitely something moving

I just can't make out what it is

I haven't heard from it now for

for a few minutes

I might well have just moved away but

sure as hell it knows I'm here

and it knows I've eaten food here

and I don't know huge amount about bears

what I do know is it as if they come into your camp

and they see there you need to clear that camp and fast

it's just

a submit of the bloody night

it's just the middle of the night and I don't know

I just don't want to go charging on for anywhere

but I don't I just don't know what I'm gonna do

I lay very still and silent for some time

I couldn't tear any movement outside

but if whatever was out there came back

I might not be so lucky

it was time to go

I've just got to get right away from this area now

moving at night is never ideal

but I've got I've got just no choice

at the moment

the camera lights are helping me move much faster

one of the real dangers of moving in night time

is just running off and then getting lost

an easiest way

of navigating when you haven't got a campus

it's just to use the heavens use the stars

on a beautiful

clear night like this

you can easily pick out the North Star

just by seeing the Big Dipper over there

taking the last two stars the Big Dipper

and then going 1

2 3 4

and that will point directly at the North Star star

on its own it's not the bright star

but it's clear and it's on its own

and it's about the only star that won't move

you can't navigate

by following other stars for more than about

50 minutes that start the shift

but the North Star is a constant

it's that way

we want to be heading south away from these mountains

people are often scared about moving at night time

but suddenly I just remember my time Special Forces

we'd always only move at night time

and it's just a question

of getting comfortable with it slowing down

and tuning in your senses and you can

hear here there's a stream of see nearby

it's just learning to take it slow and feel your way

move and move branch aside feel with your feet

and actually after about

40 minutes you get very very good night vision

and under a clear sky like this versus a strong moon

it can become almost Ceasy's daylight

and once you get into that rhythm

I've been moving now for for

almost 24 hours and

I'm tired

and I'm

cold

and if I'm honest I'm just a little bit

a little bit scared that this

grizzy is still in this area

and I just want to

I really just want to get right away from here

now

I'm walking over here

I've just noticed a lot of the grass has been flattened

it's probably where deer

and Elk have just been hanging out

you can see this is probably where

badges have been

burring around looking for bugs and scrubs

and I bet if I have a good dig around

in here

I'll find something

that I can eat

as well

the rattlesnake was my last meal some 12 hours ago

I'm using up a lot of energy

being on the move like this burns around

6000 calories a day

and to stay alert I'm gonna need more food

and there you go

look that's what these guys were probably

eating last night

worms

believe it or not

worms and insects are 80 percent protein

beefs only around 20

so it's easy energy even if not the most tasty

and keep

kilos

for later

it's gonna rain soon and the loads of signs

in nature the forecast weather

and if you look up at the sky at the moment

you've got this

cloud formation of what's called Bandit Siris

and that's basically these fingers of

clouds that go across the sky

and often that moves in front

of a low pressure

also when it's gonna rain

sounds tend to carry much further

and that's basically just a moisture lane atmosphere

acting a little bit like an amplifier

and with that

you'll often get a very distinct smell

of the forest

as basic nature is just beginning to open up

ready to receive the rain

then several hours later

the nightmare of last night becomes real once more

now that is definitely

a grizzly track and just look at the size

of that poor man

as you can tell from

just the

compression of the earth here and the displacement

of the soil from the claws

this is probably only an hour or two old

and

by the size of that that could well be a 600 pound bear

and I don't know if it's me just imagining it

but it seems like this bear is just playing with me

but

yeah we want to get out of here come on them let's go

for the last 4

5 hours

I've been moving through an area just being completely

devastated by a forest fire

and it's clear a lot of this ground are the trees

the bush and the scrub

but it is though working now in my favor

and I can move much faster through this terrain

and all of this

it's good and soft underfoot as well

whoa

I'm lost in the Rockies for the second day

and I've just come across my first major obstacle

if you're ever in a situation like this

and need to escape quickly

there is only one option

yeah

this is a big jump

this must be this must be 70 foot and it is

yeah this is dangerous

at 70 feet

if I hit wrong it would be like hitting concrete

it is manageable as long as you enter the water

correctly

but I can't stress enough

just how careful you got to be jumping off anything

really more than

more than about 20 feet

and a big danger of jumping into these little rivers

it's first of all shallow water but secondly rocks

both of which can break your legs

which in an environment like this on your own

can be fatal but the technique really for doing this

is to make sure that you jump feet first

keep absolutely vertical keep your legs together

and clench your backside

and you get the reason for that one

okay

he does

no way the Grizz is gonna jump that

and that is definitely gonna

have broken my scent trail

now I've found a big river

I'm more hopeful about finding a track and

ultimately a road

this river can also keep me alive with water and food

the Riverbank can also provide the odd piece of garbage

which can be a lifesaver

it's an old

old camp that's been used and

this

probably would have been used by a hunter or tracker

ending up to five or 10 years ago

but when you get the chance to scavenge

you got to use these sort of things and

this sort of tin would be really useful for

collecting water in and oh there she is

even an old

plastic bag under it for

a bit holy but take it

also keep your eyes open for

natural elements that can help you

like these cat tails

these things are absolutely brilliant

you can use them for so many different tasks

if you take the top of cat tail and twist it

this stuff is so light and makes just

brilliant tender for a fire

and also you can use lots of this to insulate a jacket

and keep you warm

if you move down the cat tails

the actually shaft of it here is great

for making arrows

really good and strong

and then if you go all the way down

to the bottom

and get one of these

if we go and rinse it off you'll see

they're actually nature spaghetti

and that's really good carbohydrate

now for some protein

and this river is full of my favorite

North American trout

although

I don't have anything like a hook to catch him with

there is another way

okay

what I've been doing here is trying to work my way out

through a lot of these pools

looking for fish to try and do some

some hand fishing

and what happens often is the fishes

swim up into these pools but then can't get out

and in this one there are a couple of fish

that are in here so the idea

of getting these is to try and come

around behind them

very slowly

and try not to disturb them

and what I want to do here

I don't know if you can see this one

is actually to come above

drive it down into the silt where I can get some grip

squeeze it tight and pull it out

but it's not that easy

okay and this one

is a beauty

good size it's gonna be for dinner

ah

you can actually

these things if it is hell but if you get ya

fingers in its guild you'll stop it and actually

just rinse it off a bit

get the silt off don't go away you little brute

you can actually in a real emergency situation

eat these raw

hmm

I go to the gut

heaven

got a good meat there

it's the best sushi you'll ever have

and another few of these beauties

and I'm gonna have the best dinner

I've ever had

I've got this bark

and I'm gonna line this bark

with

a load of MUD

and I'm gonna make like a little oven effectively

for these fish

so I line it with that

and then I use

these goose foot leaves

to keep the MUD away from

the fish

again I lay more of these gooffit leaves

on the top

pack

more MUD all the way over that

and that's ready

to get baking

to make sure the tough it cooks

that nice kindling

it should need about

just about 20 minutes

so that's that

well that's cooking

what I want to do is hang up

my tin for any fish that I'm not using

put those guts as well

any fish that I don't eat this evening

I don't want to be leaving it

around this camp while I'm sleeping

I am going to just with a bit of my rigging lines

tight around this rock

and let me go down

down to the river where there's a nice big tree

throws over branch

and any surface food can hang well out of harm's way

grissies travel vast distances in search of food

eating around 35 000 calories a day

the last thing I want

is another hungry bear near my shelter

I'm putting this food at

least 100 yards away from my camp and that is

definitely beginners luck

then what I do

is just

pull this up

and that's

any surplus food well out of harm's way

so that's ready

for after dinner

okay this should be nicely

nicely baked now

I should be able to roll that nice fish

and there you go you can see the

white fish I haven't popped out which means it cooked

let me peel back the skin of this

you can see really nice

white meat there

and that is gonna be

amazing

it's the end of my second day

and so far it's been a roller coaster

finding the river has been a real blessing

the bad news

rivers of the Grizzy's favorite hunting ground

I've been lost in the Rockies for over 2 days now

the camera crew is with me

but they're not allowed to interact with me in any way

unless my life's in complete danger

as I head into day 3

I'm getting tired and I'm feeling the strain

the only solution

keep moving

and stay positive

no matter how tough it gets living rough

it's always important to freshen up

in nature's restroom

really nice have a good wash in the morning

and also I can use what are called horsetails

to do my teeth

and what you do just brake them off

at the stem and these bits actually

clean your teeth

really nice my dentals would be proud of me

and then when you

clean them

you can then just use a middle bit

it's a bit more abrasive just to get all the plark off

when I was 21

I had a free fall parachuting accident

when my canopy ripped

and

I broke my back in three places and had to spend

80 months in and out of hospital

and just at that time the thought of ever

being able to do all these things that

I'd always be able to do well like you know to climb

and parachute

with just

it's just out of my reach

and for me it's a real buzz to be back

and doing all of these things that I love hurt so much

obviously I'm sweating a lot out here

and it's really important to try and keep hydrated

but what I can't do is drink straight from the streams

even though the water looks crystal clear

often it can carry these waterborne parasites

such as salmonella

heptide to say

or Giardia and it's

Giardia that's particularly prevalent in the Rockies

and if you get it

you'll end up

an out of action for up to two or three weeks

with diarrhea vomiting

and that for me would be

really bad news in the wild

so what I'm gonna do is actually just boil up

this water in the tin

get that through there

put it on the fire

let that boil

and then flavor it with some of these rose

hips that I found

and all I do is pick a load of these berries

crush them up really nicely

sit back and enjoy the view

and in 50 minutes I should have

as the English like to say a good cup of tea

I get to see what this tastes like

mmm

it's kind of like

strawberries that aren't quite ripe

but it's certainly definitely

better than Jardia

this journey is beginning to seem endless

I've been out here in the Rockies for 72 hours

and I'm starting to wonder

if I'll ever make it out by my five day deadline

one of the things I'm finding hard at the moment is

it's just

missing company I think

as a climb I'm always so used to

having a buddy right there with me

and I think it always gives you strength

just the fact that you're together

and

I'm just at the moment if I'm honest struggling

being so much on my own and

I just really miss

just that encouragement I think

it's strange how you

pass a time when you're lost in the wilderness

don't really

take in the beauty and the grandeur of the Rockies

for all the reasons most people come here in the first

place

the

snow cats keep a frosting of snow all the year round

and if I can make myself stop and look

it's simply breathtaking

but right now I only want one thing

to keep moving as fast as I can

so I can reach a road and safety

as evening closes in

my journey along the river comes to an abrupt end

I'm not at all sure how to get out of this one

I've now reached a point where I cannot go any further

in the direction I want to travel

there's this

huge river beneath me and these sheer cliffs

at the side

what I can do though is that I can use this river

to take me in the direction I want to travel

a hell of a lot faster

than I'm going to be able to walk through this sort of

terrain

rivers like this can be seriously dangerous

and on the whole

you do not want to be getting into this sort of

river on your own

unless it's a real emergency

but there is every chance that this river

can take me all the way back down

to civilization

and what I'm actually going to do

is used my rack sack here and a plastic bag I found

to act as a floatation device

this should hopefully

keep me

nicely afloat

and effectively I'm gonna wipe water

raft down these rapids with this

as my raft

oh man it's cold as well

in the Rockies all the water comes from snow melt

so this river is glacial fed

averaging around 40 degrees Fahrenheit

hypothermia is a very real danger

and the biggest killer in the Rockies

only this year

two bodies were pulled out of the same river

in this area both had been alone

and both had got hypothermia and drowned

for the bottom line is

the speed this river is eventually gonna

pick up too young and have literally split seconds

to react

but it's definitely better feet first

than head first

oh

man

she's tiring

you really feel myself punch me now

I'm gonna get onto a rock like this

you've really just gotta

use this

to rest of it

but one of the keys with these to the rapids

is aiming for what they call

have the tongue of it

and when you're in the water and you're going down

you can see this tongue build in front of you

where all the main flow of the water is going

and the idea is to get into that

go with the flow

and try not to panic

okay this is quite a shallow part of the river here

and this is a class of time just to be using my feet

to pend off lots of little rocks

so I can see on the underneath all the way here

and this is exactly why you go feet first whoa

there's another one

oh

man this gold pulled under up there

normally just popped straight up

but I was running out of puff then

I floated downstream in near freezing water

for what seemed like an age

I'm not quite sure

but I think I must have traveled at least 12 miles

before I knew I just couldn't take the cold anymore

I'm not feeling great in the moment

and I want to get out

before gets any worse and just trying to get warm

just feel how exhausted I am for

it's been almost like four days now moving and

yeah just need a cheese needer

need to stop and

get warm

and the quickest way to do that

is to boost the heart rate with physical exercise

just I can feel less like doing

50 press hours of the moment

okay I've basically just got to

I've got to get out of these wet

clothes and I've got to get warm

and I've got to be here trying to get Fargo

okay what I'm gonna try and do here

is just to build a fire

down the whole length of this and into this

corner here

and when it's going nice I'm just gonna pile a load of

these stones onto it get them really hot

and then all of this bit I'm gonna cover

more sand and that's gonna make

a really nice warm like bed to sleep on

see these sort of stones are gonna be ideal

to put in this firebed

and get these stones really nice and hot

this has died down

enough louds fire and these stones are gonna be

really hot

and

what I do is just cover them really well

and these stones will stay hot for

hours and hours and hours

my body feels battered and bruised

but those hot stones help to ease the pain

as night falls there's just one thought in my mind

am I really getting any closer to home

it's Day 4 and I'm beginning to feel pretty rough

one of the things they say

when you're

when you're in a survival situation is so important

it's to keep making

decisions not get stagnant and not just

procrastinate

and they say it's better to make a wrong decision or

makes than just do nothing

and it's this process of

moving moving moving

that's eventually gonna get you out of trouble

and this is what I'm hoping hope you for

I'm thirsty hungry

I just want to find my way out

people am

people often talk about

a survival instinct and

it's something all of us have

but not necessarily everybody finds

and I think

sometimes life can be a little bit fluffy and we don't

necessarily have that need to stay alive

but it is something that is within us all

something needs to drive you and for me at the moment

is just wanting to

just wanted to see my family

and see my wife Shara and my little boy Jesse

who's too a few days ago

and

I just really wish

I wish it was him clinging around my neck at moment

rug in this rugsack though

carrying everywhere

but it's

it's definitely it's definitely that that's keeping me

keep me moving

I've just forgotten how

how physically demanding is

moving through the mountains and

I just not as fit as when I was climbing every day

and forget how hard

how hard it is

and the romance of this is definitely

has definitely gone

and I'm just playing

playing exhausted

I'd been following the river for two days

and I'd just about given up hope

I was convinced I'd miss my five day deadline

when just like that

I found my salvation

oh man I rode it's been a long

it's been a long four days

but there's an old saying that says

if you ever lost all

all you've got to do is head downhill

until you find a stream

follow the stream until you hit a track

and follow the track until you hit a road

and it's that road that's going to lead you back

to civilization

and this is our road and it's our ticket home

it may be dangerous

but the only way to the road is straight down

there's only one

thing stopping me from reaching that road

and that's this cliff here and then the river

and I'm kind of hoping this

the last time I'm gonna have to use these parachute

rigging lines

to get me out of trouble

but this is probably about 60 foot

and I'm kind of praying

also my realizer gonna reach your bottom

but then it's home and dry

I don't know what the braking

strains on these parachute lines are

but they held me under my parachute

in my book this comes into the category of

dodgy

and

the trick is not to do this to

blooming often

with the end in sight

I can't remember when I've last

experienced such a range of emotions

a mixture of exhaustion

hunger and thirst

loneliness and real terror

but most of all I feel a sense of achievement

I survive the Rockies

a journey I will never forget

survival is really about getting the job done

whatever the means

even if it's hitchhiking

and when you come across the road

there's only one thing to do

try to tie yourself up a bit and finally

hey buddy

turn to lift

thanks my friend saved my life
