Mud, Sweat and Tears

Mud, Sweat and Tears
Bear Grylls has always sought to live adventure to the fullest.

     From boyhood, he learned to swim and climb with the help of his father. Before long, at school Bear was leading nighttime climbing missions into forbidden areas.

     As a teenager, he found his identity and calling in mountaineering and martial arts, which took him to the foothills of the mighty Himalayas and to a training camp for karate masters in Japan.

     After returning home, Bear threw himself into the grueling preparation required to apply for the British Special Forces, to become part of the 21st Regiment. This long journey pushed him to the limits of his physical and mental endurance.

     Later, after a horrific parachuting accident in Africa, Bear broke his back in three places. Doctors did not know whether he would ever walk again. Yet only eighteen months later, defying the doctors’ predictions, 23-year-old Bear became one of the youngest people to climb Everest.

     And that was only the beginning of his many extraordinary adventures...

     Known and loved by millions – whether for his global adventure documentary series „Born Survivor“, as a popular author of survival books, or as Chief Scout of The Scout Association in the UK – Bear Grylls has survived situations few would even dare to face.

     Now, for the first time, Bear tells the story of his danger-filled life. Gripping and moving, „Mud, Sweat and Tears“ is essential reading for both adrenaline addicts and armchair travelers alike.
