you're gonna be okay.

I don't presume to know who needs to hear this, or who wants to hear it from me, but:

You are stronger than you think you are. You seem like a nice person. You have way more people cheering you on than you realize.

You owe nothing to anyone unless you feel led to freely give it.

Talk it out as much as you need to, to work through whatever you are going through, with those who will listen and try to understand.

We're all in this together.

That's my daily break from toxic masculinity. Now I'm going to go out back and shoot discarded household items as a coping mechanism for my own unresolved issues. :)

Who is Bear Grylls?

If you are a fan of adventure, survival and outdoor challenges, you have probably heard of Bear Grylls. He is a British adventurer, writer, television presenter and businessman who has become famous for his daring exploits and wilderness skills. But who is he really and what makes him tick? Here are some facts you may not know about him.

He has a royal connection

Bear Grylls was born Edward Michael Grylls on 7 June 1974 in London, England. His father was Sir Michael Grylls, a Conservative politician and member of the Royal Yacht Squadron. His mother was Sarah “Sally” Ford, a descendant of William Augustus Ford, a first-class cricketer. His grandfather was Neville Ford, another cricketer who played for Leicestershire. His sister Lara Fawcett gave him the nickname “Bear” when he was a week old.

Bear Grylls attended Eton College, one of the most prestigious schools in England, where he started its first mountaineering club. He also studied Spanish and German at the University of the West of England and Birkbeck College. He is fluent in English, Spanish and French.

In 2000, he married Shara Cannings Knight, a former model and author. They have three sons: Jesse, Marmaduke and Huckleberry. They live on a private island in Wales and also have a houseboat on the River Thames.

Bear Grylls has a close relationship with the British royal family. He is friends with Prince William and Prince Harry and has taken them on several adventures. He is also the youngest-ever Chief Scout of the United Kingdom and Overseas Territories, a position he has held since 2009. He was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) by Queen Elizabeth II in 2019 for his services to young people, the media and charity.

He has a military background

Bear Grylls joined the British Army in 1994 and served in the 21st Special Air Service Regiment (Reserve), or 21 SAS. This is a reserve unit that trains and supports the regular SAS, one of the most elite special forces in the world. He underwent rigorous training in survival, combat, parachuting, climbing and explosives.

In 1996, he suffered a serious injury when his parachute failed to open during a free-fall training exercise in Zambia. He broke three vertebrae in his back and had to undergo several surgeries. He was told he might never walk again.

However, he defied the odds and recovered from his injury. He left the army in 1997 with an honorary rank of lieutenant colonel. He later said that his military experience taught him discipline, resilience and courage.

He has broken several world records

Bear Grylls is not one to shy away from challenges. He has embarked on numerous expeditions that have tested his physical and mental limits. Some of his most notable achievements include:

Climbing Mount Everest at the age of 23, becoming one of the youngest people to reach the summit.

Crossing the North Atlantic Ocean in an inflatable boat with five other men, facing storms, icebergs and sharks.

Flying over Mount Everest in a powered paraglider, setting a new altitude record.

Trekking across Antarctica on foot and by kite-skiing, covering 1,700 miles in 94 days.

Leading a team of injured veterans to climb Mount Everest again, raising funds and awareness for wounded soldiers.

Hosting a live TV show from the top of The Shard, London’s tallest building.

Completing a solo paramotor flight over Angel Falls, Venezuela’s highest waterfall.

Eating maggots, snakes, spiders and other disgusting things on camera.

He is a media star

Bear Grylls is best known for his television shows that showcase his survival skills and adventurous spirit. His first show was Man vs. Wild (also known as Born Survivor), which ran from 2006 to 2011 on Discovery Channel. In each episode, he would be dropped into a remote location with minimal equipment and demonstrate how to survive various scenarios.

He also hosted other shows such as Escape to the Legion (2005), Worst Case Scenario (2010), Get Out Alive with Bear Grylls (2013), The Island with Bear Grylls (2014-present), Running Wild with Bear Grylls (2014-present), Mission Survive (2015-2016), Bear Grylls: Breaking Point (2015), Bear Grylls: Survival School (2016), You vs. Wild (2019) and World’s Toughest Race: Eco-Challenge Fiji (2020).

He has also written several books based on his experiences and expertise, such as Facing Up (2000), Facing the Frozen Ocean (2004), Born Survivor: Survival Techniques from the Most Dangerous Places on Earth (2007), Mud Sweat and Tears (2011), A Survival Guide for Life (2012) and Soul Fuel: A Daily Devotional (2019).

He has also appeared in movies such as Ghost Flight (2014) and Animals United (2010) as well as video games such as Man vs. Wild: The Game (2011) and Kinect Sports Rivals (2014).

He has also launched his own brand of clothing, equipment, food and drinks that cater to outdoor enthusiasts.

He is a philanthropist

Bear Grylls is not only an adventurer but also a humanitarian. He supports various causes that are close to his heart, such as:

The Scout Association: As the Chief Scout, he promotes scouting as a way of developing young people’s skills, confidence and character.

The Prince’s Trust: As an ambassador for this charity founded by Prince Charles, he helps disadvantaged young people achieve their potential through education, training and employment.

Global Angels: As a patron for this international charity founded by his mother-in-law Molly Bedingfield, he helps provide clean water, health care, education and protection for children in need around the world.

Tusk Trust: As an ambassador for this conservation organization that works to protect Africa’s wildlife and natural habitats.

The Royal National Lifeboat Institution: As an honorary life governor for this charity that provides lifesaving services at sea.

The Jo Cox Foundation: As an ambassador for this charity that honors the legacy of Jo Cox MP who was murdered in 2016 by promoting social cohesion and combating loneliness.

He is an inspiration

Bear Grylls is an inspiration to millions of people around the world who admire his courage, passion and spirit of adventure. He has shown that nothing is impossible if you have faith, determination and perseverance.

He has also shared his wisdom and insights on how to live a fulfilling life through his books, speeches and interviews. Some of his quotes include:

“The difference between ordinary and extraordinary is just that little word - extra.”

“Survival can be summed up in three words - never give up.”

“Don’t listen to the dream stealers.”

“The rules of survival never change whether you’re in a desert or in an arena.”

“If you risk nothing you gain nothing.”

“Life is an adventure - live it.”

SKILLS, NOT STUFF, Will Sustain You in an Emergency:

Prepper-types love their gear, and gear can be good if it is accompanied with the knowledge to use it. But survival requires serious skills (primarily fire-making) and methods outside of just storing gear and food for disaster. Gear cannot be the only answer to emergency preparation. Knowledge and skills needs to take precedence over gear; skills like Intelligence Gathering, Escape and Evasion, Personal Care, Defusing Hostility, Unifying the Community, psychological exercise, and non-weapon Personal Protection are a few skills to practice over gathering gear. When the ultimate catastrophe occurs, there will be a huge group left that will be doing everything they can to survive. Learning Skills is more important than gathering stuff. You are a stranger surrounded by enemies and everyone around you feels the same way. What should you know before this happens? Basic Skills to learn:

Shelter - Build a Wilderness Shelter

Fire - Start and Build

Water - Collection, Filtering and Purification

Food - Hunt and Fish with Weapons/Tools and Snares and Learn about, and forage for, Edible Plants

First Aid - Learn Basic and Advanced

Defense - Self-Defense, Weapons Use, Shelter and Perimeter Protection

Signalling - for help and communication with others

Keep a Positive Mental Attitude

An expert survivalist may not need a guide but the average person may have a memory lapse of personal survival skills, especially during times of stress. While everyone should regularly practice their survival skills, always keeping a Quality Survival Guide nearby will come in handy to help others or to refresh the memory during a stressful situation or just brain farts. A quality guide should include first aid, shelter and fire building, water collection and decontamination, wild edibles and catching game, defense, signaling and other survival topics.

Geranium molle, growing wild! Read more below about this fascinating herb. Learn more about our online courses on herbal medicine & aromatherapy in jointheflow.net Discover my books on bodywork and more: amzn.to/3xhaNey Its common name is Dovefoot Geranium, or Dove's-foot Crane's-bill. Nicholas Culpeper in his herbal of 1652 suggested a variety of uses for G. molle, including the treatment of internal and external injuries. A note was made that the bruised leaf healed external injuries faster. A decoction in wine was said to relieve gout and other joint pains. The plant is considered to be anodyne, astringent and vulnerary. In fact, you can use it as a tannin in herbal formulas, along with Quercus and Capsella. The bees LOVE the plant. It actually produces a kind of dark pollen. Geranium molle is a small plant reaching on average 5–30 centimetres (2.0–11.8 in) in height. It is a very branched plant, quite hairy, with several ascending stems. The leaves are palmate, cut 5 to 9 times. The basal leaves are arranged in a rosette, the upper ones are sessile, rounded and hairy, with a long petiole of about 5–12 millimetres (0.20–0.47 in). The flowers are pinkish-purple, 8–12 mm in diameter, with very jagged petals. It blooms from April to September. The flowers are hermaphrodite and mainly pollinated by Hymenoptera. Fruits are glabrous, usually with 6-9 transverse ridges.

I’m using my @reiffknives F4 knife to cut some chaparral yucca for a weaving project I’m working on. If you’ve worked with or ran into it, you know the plant is like reaching into a bucket of needles. The points stab and the rigid sides of the palms can be sharp and cut like a blade. I’ll update you on the pics and hopefully some video of the project. Tag someone that would like to do a project like this or share your experience with weaving. This was cut from the side of a hiking trail for safety. #reiffknives #knives #knife #bushcraftingskills #bushcraftgear #bushcraftknife #yucca #yuccaplant #weaving #basketweave #basketweaving #primative #primativeskills #bushcrafting #survival #survivalskills #knowledge #selfreliance #wilderness #bushcraftandprepping #nature https://www.instagram.com/p/CgAjcyqJYQj/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
