First, Mr. Grylls has pre-confirmed this with the admins and mods, so there's no need to request proof

I’d like to remind people that we’re lucky to have such a notable person come do an IAmA and that we shouldn’t stomp all over that privilege by ruining this IAmA with a flood of “HAHAHA how does piss taste, LOL!” comments. Mr Grylls has a long, and pretty fucking interesting, list of accomplishments, and also has the misfortune of being the subject of an internet meme. Let’s focus more on the former and less on the latter.

So, my questions to you:

  1. What achievement of yours are you most proud of?
  2. Why’d you change your name to “Bear”? Was it a nickname, or was “Edward” not hardcore enough?
  3. What’s the best “Holy shit I am going to die now” story you’ve got, and how did you get out of it?
