Bear Grylls. British Special Forces man, adrenaline junkie, and survival expert on Discovery Channel’s “Man Vs Wild.” Bear is a survivor and actually teaches others some basic survival techniques as well as stuff most people may not think of if they were stranded in a desert, jungle, isle of the sea, the arctic or swamp. Bear has had things on the barbie like rattle snakes, mice, skunks, and eaten countless grubs, worms, vegetation, et al.

But I want to see Bear really use his skills. He can do better than field mice and rattle snakes. In future “Man VS Wild” episodes I want to see him consume the following on my wish list.

25. Prairie Dog
24. Mongoose
23. California Condor
22. Mallard Duck
21. African Elephant
20. Gila Monster
19. Black Attar
18. Utah June Sucker
17. Desert Tortoise
16. Emperor Penguin
15. Golden Eagle
14. Yellow Tail Butterfly
13. Spotted Owl
12. Gecko
11. Crab Grass
10. Anything from a McDonald’s dumpster
9. Tiger
8. Lion
7. Pronghorn
6. Yak
5. Chimpanzee
4. Panda
3. Killer Whale
2. Giant Squid
1. A Pit Bull

Yes as Bear says in a survival situation it is all about opportunity and a little luck to get a meal to get you energized to move on in your pursuit of making it out alive. No living thing should be off the menu that won’t kill you. This includes enviornmentalists’ dream animals and other assorted oddities. It would be hard to prosecute a person for cooking up an endangered deer because that is what wandered into his path.

Better to eat the black bear than be eaten by the black bear I always say. So if he can put away some grubs, he should be able to down a dolphin just fine. After all it is in the name of living and not becoming another death statistic of the wild.

Pip Pip! I agree. He should eat what he needs. I want to see Man Vs. Wild: Homeless in Seattle. Then he could dumpster dive.
