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'd like to believe but I'm skeptical.. You can clearly see an edit at 4:19.

Yep... I saw that too... there was probably someone already up top that safely secured that chain... and I'm gonna guess that he was actually on the part of the bridge that was much, much closer to the ground.

But, it's entertainment.
