Bear Grylls' essentials are the most essential essentials you'll ever see
you must watch the 10 essentials of Alex Honnold hahaha i think he won
Essentially the most essential list of essentials I’ve ever seen. Essentially we can go wrong.
I'll take honnold's any day
😂
nah
Imagine being Bear's kid, packing for a normal day at the beach and dad's like 'you got the maggots?!'
You got the dry liver?
At the beach - 'Dad please, there are people watching - put the goat's testicles away!'
Funny
Bruhh 😂
More nutritious than a uniform bundle of sticks.
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.
Props to his camera crews on all the trips. What a bunch of unsung heroes, doing the heavy lifting behind the scenes
Thank for giving props to the crew! Alot of people seem to forget the way these things are even filmed
hes not by himself?????
@@lilplum37 nah he also fakes and dramatizes the danger in most clips
kzhead.info/sun/q5WGdN5-hIdtemw/bejne.html they sure do make it look realistic
It's all fake thats why
Rappers & celebrities essentials: jewelry, perfume, headphones. Bear Grylls essentials: Landrover, dried maggots, photo of his family. Respect.
Another publicity stunt, has as much reality as his 'survivor' shows. :)
@@jafofun5078 the show is to inform people about survival conditions not that he’s actually stranded without his camera crew lmao
@@orlandovillag the show informs about survival conditions by giving examples of what not to do at all in a certain situation if you want to have any chance to survive. :D Literally, if you watch the show to educate yourself on what you should not even contemplate in a situation, that is the best.
Whattttt?! The term ‘essentials’ is subjective, differing due to the skill set and profession of the individual? Who knew???
@@shygod1494 that’s not the point. The reality of his chosen essentials has the same credibility as his shows. :D
Bear is literally my childhood , a great guy
great actor loool
So excited for this new season of Running Wild. Couple episodes left to watch but shouts to Bear for being a great host.
I’ve never watched one of Bear’s shows, but I can tell he is a good human being.
I’d recommend his show “man vs wild”. Not only is it entertaining, but the survival tips and tricks he gives may come in useful one day
Yeah, I’d get on that ASAP. Man vs. Wild is a VERY entertaining show
As well as fake. Man vs wild is proven fake. Les stroud goes alone. He is real
@@jorgeo1492 yeah, Bear has said himself that parts are scripted. He intentionally puts himself in situations to show how he would get himself out. It's still a great show.
@x apparently you care enough to be defending him on like every comment. He drinks pee and is not the real deal.
The only guest with actual essentials
Alex Honnold had actual essentials
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.
By far the most interesting list of essentials yet
Lol dude 100%. And he just seems like such a genuine dude too
especially the blatant Land Rover advertisement LOL Bear just cashed a big cheque on that one
i love this man the more i know about him. such a good human being.
I used to watch him so much as a kid
Someone dropped the ball not calling this The Bear's Essentials
Man i remember watching this dude when i was a kid. Bear is on the same level as the legendary status as Jackie Chan. They both gods in my childhood.
He is one of the guy part of my childhood, went down a nostalgic trip
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.
Best 10 essentials so far.
How'd this take a long to happen lol This has to be the most accurate or essential guest to have on here😂
Bear always a chill dude keep it real well to real 😂
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.
That small family picture is what an essential is.
Thoroughly decent dude. Love this guy.
Bear Grylls’!!! You’re just an awesome guy man. I grew up watching your shows and as a 14 year old, you made it look so easy I thought I could go out there and survive. Lol keep on keeping on man!!
You're probably older than me but I remember watching him as young as 8 or 9 maybe younger.
We love you Bear ❤️my mother and I would watch your show religiously while growing up. You’re the MAN🙏🏾
Sweet memory. I used to watch him in summer late nights :)
I think ‘essential series’ suits him more than anyone else
“wooden cross” made of literal cardboard hahaha
"Land rover" literal toy car hahaha
@@jvr6809 this whole video made me laugh
@@brittster182 omg yes it was so funny
Cardboard is made of wood.
@@AR777bomb I fully realize that
Best episode yet. What a great guy
GQ really did a great job having this man on their channel
you would think one of of his essentials would be a pocket knife, but noooo he would rather have ready to eat maggots 😂😂
Brilliant interview, one of the best 10 essentials so far.
Bear. The original liver king!
Love Bear's I would always watch his shows when I was little and remember watching his british special forces training videos when he was younger too
before Liver King there was Bear Grylls the OG
Don't compare that clown to the king.
I own TWO of those Luminox Bear Grylls Watches...and I absolutely LOVE IT!!!! Luminox hit it out of the ball park with those watches, love em.
Bear Grylls essential are meaningful and mature , loved it for real
I love Bear! Thank u for having him! He’s my whole childhood!
This is the first regular person on the show. I watched this man every Wednesday night on National Geographic
Man vs Wild was my childhood.
What a lovable person
He's incredible and extraordinary
Ok, if Apocalypse hit, this guy will be the only man alive.
My dad knew this guy that worked with bear and he said that when they did these shows he used to stay in the best hotel in town.
Cap
Essentials of Bear Grylls : - Body - Mind - Courage - A big pair of balls
Most humble episodes I’ve seen yet
This dude will put anything in his gob
Quite simply, I love this man
Legendree, you, for traversing the glassy-eres next to a 100-foot drop. Great job you. Now let’s get these jumars and ice picks up to this cache, then find a proper spot to make camp for the night. We have a long day getting to the extraction point tomorrow. *only makes sense if you watch a lot of Running Wild*
"Don't break down, reliable." 😂😂😂😂😂
Regular people's essentials: phone, shoes, gum Bear Grylls essentials: maggots, dried beef liver, lions heart, wolf ears , etc :D
It's crazy he's still trying to convince people he's a real survivalist lol
finally a real legend!
Thanks Bear, you are awesome! 🔝
He kept it 100. I respek that 👊🏿
I could I did not think that Bear Grylls' top priority was dried maggots
I have a Craig hoppers bear Grylls windproof shell jacket and to this time still holds up after over 10 years.
Soo excited to see cross ✝️ with him...even preast may forgotten to took this things 🙌🙌
Maggots!? A reminder that shouldn't forget to pack the trail mix.
So, its basically a car, durable clothes and some food. Have got to say, one of the more realistic "essentials"
THE LEGEND!!!!
Lol, he actually eats maggots for pleasure. Respect.
His intro makes it sound like GQ came to the wild Amazon jungle to film this episode! 🤣
Our childhood hero looks grown and old, 🥹🥹🥹 #respect
Our childhood clown you mean? That guy is the worst survival expert ever. Its all fake. All real survivalexperts laugh at him. Ask survivorman for example.
@@bas7905 do yours then , seems like you’re an expert.
@@bas7905 why hate? It seems like you are a big clown
The first minute of this is classic 💯
The only person to bring essentials
See , its not just the liverking who tells yall that liver is king
This guy doesn't just eat, he eats to survive.
*video starts "dried maggots" totally caught me off-guard
I used to watch his show like all day on discovery channel good old days
He is the OG Liver King
I love this guy "wooo"
The cross made watch the video. Love bear Grylls, and really love that for him🙏🏻💞
So Liver King wasn’t wrong after all
He is on roids tho
@@vipr1142 source: trust me bro
@Johnny Smith Trust me bro
Liver is king
Revolution race really are the king of outdoor ware!
i hate how this have become just a huge ad for sponsors
Bear Grylls those are some great essentials
i enjoyed this one a lot he gave a lot of wise words
CarnivoreAurelius!! What a legend
Dang it I have 4 livers in the deep freeze I am going to find a how to video RIGHT after this one. that dry flaky crunch just got me hungry
I feel like most of these videos are full of product placements, but this is the first one where I've felt like I was watching one big advertisement.
Same
you had me at dried maggots 😍
This man never ages
The only essentials celebrity list I've ever watched because its the o ly one worth watching probably
I love bear, big part of my childhood
still watch dat Man vs Wild show on discovery plus and he hella humble
He literally embodied the "survivor" term itself
Now this is pure content right here lol
how does bear fit into any RVRC clothing.... their sizes are crazy, must have them made for him. if you know about RVRC you know.
You Rock Bear! Cool With the Planet!
those particular maggots are fried, and taste and feel like the shells of popcorn kernels. not bad, but not that great either, and thus better than most bugs also, bear grylls is an incredible dude, honesty opened my eyes to the remote places in the world and how you can access them if you're willing, able, and prepared. what a champion
What a great man
God he’s probably just thee worst to hang out with lol, just casually pulls out a bag of dried maggots n eats em lol
The few survival skills I have, I learned them watching Man VS Wild and Running Wild
I know three of these even without watching the video! 😎 Food, water and breathable air.
I’m surprised he didn’t Bring is Knife for a essential
A big part of my childhood was Bear Grylls. Legend.🤌🏼❤️🇧🇩
no mention of essential number 1, mr grylls....a first class hotel just off camera...!
This guy a motivational speaker or a survivalist
This is literally 10 things that he won't be able to live without
This guy is going to live to 130
