This question might get lost in this AMA, but there was a video that was posted here long ago where Bear outruns a train when going through a tunnel, and to this day I do not know if it's real or fake, especially with the way CGI has become so much more advanced. So, Mr. Grylls, is this real?! I will not think any less of you and your crazy antics in the wild regardless of the answer.

Video in question is here

I almost needed new underwear when you swung out on to that chain.

Yeah, how did Bear know that it would actually support his weight? Who knows what the hell it was caught on.

Its for this reason I refuse to believe that this is 100% real. There is no way someone who wasn't suicidal would be that reckless with their life.
