"My name is Bear Grylls." "I served in the British Special Forces, climbed Mount Everest and crossed the frozen seas of the Arctic." "Now my challenge is jumping with a parachute in Kenya." "Every year millions of people come here to safaris" "Only they do not know is how fast the danger may arise." "I'll show you what you need to survive here." "I'm flying to 6 thousand feet savanna wildlife in northern Kenya." "All years 2 million people come here to testify the wild beauty of nature." "Many visitors come fauna through balloons." "Recently, one of them fell killing two people and wounding eleven." "Those who survived were lost in a country where, every year, animal attacks kill 70 people." "I put myself in the position of someone lost in this region." "To show how to survive one of the most dangerous in the world." "Everything I carry is a perdeneira, a knife, water and a camera crew." "The last time I jumped in Africa I left my back in three places." "So this will not be easy." "But I have to do it." "So, come on." "This will be a quick landing." "I hurt my arm." "I say this." "Here, I'm just down the food chain." "Any predator I can smell or see me." "It's good to get out quickly." "I have to take the parachute" "Although he has several things I could use to help me survive only that most of those who are lost here have absolutely nothing." "Kenya has about 3000 species of animals." "All of them in full the wild." "Many savannas exactly like this." "And some of them are predators fiercest of the planet." "It is noon." "It's a dry heat and intense and the first thing you feel is the smell of animals." "Here's some tracks of a lion." "Check it out." "Give it to see the ..." "Look here." "Here is a better." "You see this." "These tracks are great." "There are at least one lion here and this is an ideal setting for hunting." "If you look good, you can see the exact mark of the foot and the claws." "And you can see is a fresh footprint." "You can see that they are recent because even with this loose sand they are clearly marked." "Generally, there is more risk when they are protecting their young or are trapped or if they are caught by surprise." "And it is precisely what worries me in this area." "A meeting unintentional." "If they are to mate example." "Nobody likes be discontinued at that time." "And whether we like it or not, are man-eating lions." "People who are in trouble here is usually because the car breaks decide to abandon the vehicle risking being attacked and dehydrating." "The growing popularity of safaris already led to several people died to meet with wildlife." "If they are lost here, the first thing to do is find a point of reference and define it as a goal." "And in my case, be that mountain." "On the hillside, you can see a glacier." "This means that the water melts generating small streams and rivers." "And rivers, means farms, villages and people." "The sun is moving eastward, which means that the mountain is more or less south." "About 50 km." "But the truth is that now to deal with other priorities." "The adrenaline is going and now I can see how much cut myself as I landed." "What is not legal." "In Africa, wounds like this Infections can occur rapidly." "Often leads to foot leaving us even more vulnerable to predators." "So now I just need three things." "Water, something to clean this cut and a way to reach a high point that can guide me." "Everything around me is some evidence wildlife walking around here." "Are there elephants." "I do not know how many but it seems a herd breeding season." "Large herbivores such as elephants, buffalo or rhinoceros can kill if disturbed." "You must be very careful with them." "Elephants are very intelligent but are also super-protective of their young." "And look, this young elephant heard that I'm here and this is now there very comfortable." "Is turning but the attacks of elephants in Africa are quite common." "I know a lady who a few years ago was on safari near a herd like this until an elephant out of the herd and attacked, cornered it, you just dying due to serious injury." "He is definitely looking at me." "I try to get away from the herd to show them that I am not a threat." "But now they who are challenging me." "That is the matriarch of the herd." "The matriarch always moves ahead the herd, ready to attack." "She now is not very happy." "Whenever I try to circumvent them, it advances a little more." "Now all stopped, turned and are looking at me." "She shook her head as a sign that is not very happy." "But it seems they are going." "No." "They are giving back." "We now go back a little." "They are in analyzing." "But I tell you this. this is a battle that I did not even want to go." "I will leave it this way." "Can you tell when an elephant is to attack." "Generally, shake their ears against the body and wrap the trunk." "If this happens, do not run only one direction, but are always turning to the left or right." "Because of their vision rather accurate, they can continue to try to attack." "Now that I've seen that company I want more than ever to find a high point" "To see what separates me from the mountain." "I will try to reach the top of that lot up there since it can serve as a good place to have a viewing area try to find me ... and see if there is something different on the ground or rivers where I can find water." "But climb the mountains is never as easy as it sounds." "I need to find a way to climb this mountain and as my father used to say never can tell how something is inclined until we are face to face with him." "I can see that there's a crack that goes through there ate upstairs." "But this requires a technical climb." "The rock is smooth and almost vertical." "But there are a number of techniques to scale cracks that can help me." "Many things in rock climbing related to balance and keep the body very close to the slope and then use the leg strength to climb." "I'm almost there this part up here." "Here we go." "One, two, three." "What I also can do here ..." "this gap is to use my hand, shove it with a closed fist so I can buy some time and rest or to give impetus." "I just reach the latter part up there." "OK." "What I have here a viper bufadora." "Can you hear it making noise." "You do not want to face with one of these." "This snake has the attack faster than the planet." "I'm in the vast plains of Kenya wildlife to show you how to survive here." "But to me, is the deadliest snake in Africa." "The Viper bufadora." "These snakes are the biggest killers in Africa." "If you are bitten and there is no antidote only have one more day of life." "There it is." "You can see there." "You can see that she does not like it." "They are dangerous not because they are very aggressive, indeed until they are quite slow and lazy and this is the problem." "They do not deviate as we approached." "They tend to hide in woods dry as this and as you can see, it is extremely difficult to see that they are there." "People in Africa walk the walk are always bumping into them accidentally triggering an attack." "They have enough poison to kill about six men." "I'll give this one a very wide margin." "The attack Viper-to-ram can achieve the length of your body in less than 1 second." "This is about one meter and so I will not risk it." "Once you reach the top, I can see the land and above all to find signs of water." "Look where they put their hands." "I can see up to kms away and how much I have to walk yet." "But there is a good thing." "This is good news for me." "This valley and what appears to be a riverbed and this will be my best chance to find water." "But it will have to wait." "Retain for the water that I have left, need to get out from under the sun." "When trying to find shelter, also am looking for something the Masai tribes here in Kenya would use to treat my cut." "This was what I wanted." "Part of this plan." "These plants are fantastic." "People use them around the world for its medicinal properties and relaxation e. .." "I'll take one of these here ..." "they will help to heal my cut." "Can identify them through their leaves triangular and the thick leaves with thorns." "They are also antiseptic and what I'll do is cegura them so and cut them way down the middle." "And then I just have to cut them so to release all the juices and that is what I will want apply in my court." "This will act as an antiseptic and prevent infected." "With my cut disinfected now just need a cool place." "Look at this track." "No doubt it will lead somewhere." "Look at this cave." "Beware." "Ok can come." "No." "This seems to be ideal, shady but I tell you one thing:" "I will not be the only living to have this idea here." "These are footprints of rhino and even a few traces of buffalo." "The rhinos and buffaloes extremely territorial and can kill intruders, and know that there is a lion nearby." "So I need blocking this entry." "Even the most basic of barricades is enough to deter wildlife." "These are just some old branches I'll post here." "This, in fact, is an old trick of the Masai." "The good of these trees is that their thorny branches discourage any possible intruders." "But if any animal go through my barrier need an alternative line of defense." "I use my knife and a stick to create a basic launches." "And this turns out to be a weapon very good because it increases my scope, and allow me protect if necessary." "It is 7 degrees cooler inside the cave." "And the rest for a few hours avoided the schedule more sunlight." "But now I need if I want water continue my journey to the mountain" "Where can I find rivers and people." "They are now 3 pm and the heat is decreasing." "It's much cooler." "Because we are near the equator to darken around the seven." "It's time to leave." "I go to the bottom of the valley to try to find water." "This is not good ... not quite the torrent of water that was waiting." "This is a big disappointment." "There is nothing here to drink." "That's it." "All there is a lake of stagnant water" "And look." "A dead turtle, proof that there is good water to drink." "Probably have parasites and other bacteria that can lead to severe diarrhea." "The problem is that is still very hot I'm getting dehydrated," "I'm with a headache, my urine is yellow." "I'll have to find a water source better than this." "I need a better plan." "I'm in northern Kenya where millions of tourists come to explore nature." "But every year, 70 people die due to attacks by wild animals." "In hot climates, if they try floor without water in the power of heat, may not last more than four hours." "But in case of life or death, there is a trick an old soldier taught me." "What can they do if they are here without any water is to drink fluids from elephant feces." "Pretty disgusting but it can save lives." "It's really a last resort." "There may be bacteria in the water but if there is anything else to drink can save time." "Surely not one of the best tricks that have taught me." "I am looking for traces of animals that can take me to the water." "Look here." "Give yourself to see these tracks here." "And everyone will give the valley." "And now look." "They all converge, forming something like an arrow pointing the way to the water." "But they can be ancient paths and we are in the dry season that many water sources simply dry." "This is a good water supply." "Look." "Is running and looks very clean." "And it seems to be ideal for the animals to come and drink e. .." "That's it." "Look." "These are footprints of a lion." "Da pra ver." "The lions are ambush predators and it is important to keep me lifted." "Keeping me squatting say that I am a prey." "So I will fill this canteen very quickly." "Ok" "It's time to get out of here." "It is always best to boil water to purify it before drinking." "But it takes time and I want to keep moving." "Now hydrated and safe the dangers of the lake," "I'll drive south toward the mountain." "I have water." "But if they do not, by the end of the day will be dehydrated." "But the rest during the day and walk at night, can last twice." "So that is what I do." "But the problem is that during the night, is when the predators are most active." "During the time I was in Special Forces were moving only at night." "And if you do, there are some survival skills they need to know." "Although we have not the sun to work from, we have the moon." "And just as the sun rises in the east and sets in the west, so does the moon." "Follow this path in the sky ..." "and now on top is full moon." "I have looked closely at the moon and she tells me that there is west and south there is where I'm going." "When walking at night never know what is around us and we must use all our senses." "It takes about 45 minutes to adapt to night vision but when finally fit especially with this moon is almost as if they were walking during the day." "And when they are already with night vision have to protect it." "Therefore, when they have to example slant to read a map tapem always an eye." "And if you're trying to see something in detail always use the corner of the eye." "Our peripheral vision is much more sensitive than by focusing in front." "And this was something that primitive man developed to protect themselves from predators on land like this." "Something is moving silently front of me, what makes me stop." "An elephant alone." "Back a bit guys." "This elephant is incredibly close" "And I did not hear him approaching." "They move so quietly." "His vision is not very good evening but his nose is still established." "If they feel you can attack." "I do not want him to see me." "Since the night we are much more vulnerable and I would not see him coming at me." "Then I let it pass." "Ok Let's go." "Walking at night on the savannah is very dangerous." "Only do if they know what they are doing and it is really necessary." "The sun rises to reveal the mountain for which I speak." "This is where I hope to find signs a river and civilization." "This was a very long night but has finally dawned." "It's so nice to see the sun." "It gives us a new energy." "But there is a mountain." "Now I see that I'm pretty close" "I see that I am more or less 16 km away." "The mountain seems very close but still have long way to go and it is good to do before it gets too hot." "But once you start to progress the ground, I find something amazing." "Just look at this." "A volcanic crater absolutely huge." "I think I can see holes in the crater." "And they may have been made by people." "I'm in northern Kenya and savanna are always target of predators, dehydration and exhaustion." "I'm here to show how to get out of here alive." "I'm on the side of an extinct volcano and I think I see signs of human activity." "I need to get down there but the slope is steep and full of volcanic matter." "The fastest way to get off this and slide." "Thrust your heels on the ground and use hands for balance and fall in a zigzag pattern." "That was quick." "I must have inhaled half of the mountain powder." "My hands are all skinned." "But I got down." "This place was abandoned a lot of time and is not a big surprise." "This crater is a real trap heat." "Here is hotter than up there on the savanna." "What I thought would be signs of habitation were actually old stocks of salt." "But at least there may be something here that can be useful." "This is so brittle and so soft." "And this here, that looks like tar, is actually salt." "They may not look like the one that have at home, clean and refined, but it is actually the same salt." "And if I leave this part here" "I use this crust to heal my cut or recovery of any mineral salts - has lost through sweat." "And indeed to serve if they have diarrhea." "I'll take a little of this with me." "It was much easier to enter this crater than out of it" "I used a lot of energy to get the bottom and end up with a little salt." "While in the crater, it seems predators of the savanna walked busy." "Those vultures are a clear signal that there is some housing here." "To be I serve as a meal." "But as soon as I approach find something else." "Groveling." "There is a group of rhinos." "This is simply wonderful." "They should be about 50 meters." "I have to be very careful." "They should never underestimate a rhinoceros." "I know of two South African brothers were attacked by a huge rhinoceros were shaken, thrown in the air were really bad but were eventually rescued, were taken to hospital and no doubt they had lucky even to survive." "And look." "You can see that these two are in a position defense because the hind legs together and turned out." "And this is your first warning to me telling me that I'm too close." "They are worried about me and your first warning means that I can face them or flee." "I'm really on the brink security zone." "If you get just a little they may try to attack me." "But as the elephant, if they were faced an attack, there is something that can save you." "If they really attack what I could do was to stay calm and not try to run because would have no chance to outrun them." "Must stand firm in front, keep calm and at the last moment jump to the side." "and then seek shelter." "And look, are advancing in my direction." "We must find a way to circumvent them." "I went out of their area of threat, are now happier and leaving." "The vultures have seen recently are now on the ground and as I approach they should take off but did not." "And that can only mean one thing." "Look there." "Can you see?" "Those vultures, there are so full ate as that can not even take off." "Just walk back and forth." "And this is what these vultures were eating." "Look at this." "A zebra dead and certainly who killed her was a lion." "You can see the lions ate the meat and all the guts and left the skin and bones for vultures passing over here." "It is simply amazing see it so close." "A hunt like this can mean food for those who want to survive." "And there are ways of seeing if the meat is good to eat." "The vultures are the first sign since they only eat meat." "See also found worms." "If there are worms mean that the hunt was for hours and no days." "And if the smell of rotten carcass can forget." "But you can see that this is cool and an excellent source of protein." "This skin is so hard to tear." "But look what's underneath." "I will take a bit of skin." "And here, I will not find meat cooler than this." "And despite not having a taste divine is my best source of protein here." "And this is actually as primitive man used to hunt." "Moreover, there were not great hunters." "They were good to eat animals already dead and pick fruit." "They were opportunists trying see where the lions hunted." "A bit bad." "I'll save a bit of meat, the amount that I think I can last until you eat in about an hour." "I'll put this bit in my pocket and eat it before it rots." "One last bit." "Wonderful." "I do not know if they can see but about 50 meters up ahead is a group of lions." "I'm in the middle of the savanna in Kenya" "And only a few meters away a group of lions." "There are." "They are looking right now for me." "They seem to be two lionesses with their pups in the shade." "But right now I have even carefully." "These lionesses will protect the young any cost and this means that I need keep the distance." "They can run 20 meters in less than a second which is incredibly fast." "And the claws are super sharp." "Once attack can easily shred a man." "A male lion, to attack at the neck can easily start the head of a man." "And the only thing I could do no case against me to invest was to keep me lifted, open arms, making noise" "and basically bluff since there is no where to flee." "Your instinct is to chase." "Animals are pursuing." "It's your natural instinct." "And if you run away, they will certainly pursue and kill him." "Listen only." "Listen only." "Ok guys." "It's time to get out of here." "Ok Keep walking." "I turn to the south toward that mountain." "If they are lost in nature the usual advice is to find a river and follow the direction to where the river runs to meet people." "And this would result in anywhere the world except Africa." "Because what happens here is that following these rivers and they still continue until they disappear beneath the earth and eventually disappeared." "And if that happened would be really bad." "So the best advice in Africa is doing just the opposite and go against the current of the river, towards the source to find people." "I am about to enter a new phase of my journey as the mountain you approach." "This looks much better here." "It is much greener." "And it should be here where it gets the way to the foot of the mountain." "These plants are proof that I am close a water source as well as those baboons there who are always near water safe to drink." "What I'll do is try to find the source and then follow it up the mountain." "Baboons are also signal that there are no large predators around." "Therefore, I find here a well deserved rest." "I've been walking for most of the day and to be honest, I'm pretty tired." "I just need to find somewhere to lie down and rest." "And until this place is not bad." "We are near the water." "But the problem of being near the water, are the mosquitoes." "But what I can get and indeed there are many here, is beggarticks which is an excellent insenticida." "Here is one." "I'll take this and play upon the fire." "Can distinguish them by the oval leaves with prickly edges." "They grow about two feet and when the flowers bloom, have rose petals." "And they help me keep mosquitoes at bay." "Mosquitoes are the most kill people in Africa due to malaria." "This will help me." "Malaria kills about one million Africans a year." "There's a river." "No big deal but at least it means I'm in the right place." "Whether to streams or rivers." "And in these streams and rivers I hope people take me up." "And there's more beggarticks I can burning at the stake and use as a repellent." "It's already dark and my best chance shelter is now this tree." "At least I do not get on the floor." "Which means that I risk to be surprised by any large animal." "At least for anything more than a hyena that I can bite my face." "And get to sleep I principio a little because I really needed." "Using my perdeneira, I'm trying faeces of elephant use as fuel." "Should light quickly." "There it is." "A small spark." "Overnight, the temperature here low up to 8 degrees." "Make a fire not only keeps us warm but also deters potential predators and other animals." "And in principle get rid of mosquitoes." "But make fire with elephant feces is not always easy." "I tell you one thing." "The scent of elephant feces is not good." "I put a little of this plant." "I cut a bit here and pour over the fire." "When you burn it is an excellent repellent" "And what I hope is that all this smoke go up there where I go to sleep." "My plan is to follow against the river current." "Anywhere else in the world I would do the opposite to find people." "But here in Africa, entire river may simply disappear beneath the earth." "So I go in the direction the fertile slopes of the mountain." "The river here is starting to meander and I'm trying to find a way to cross it for short distances." "This sound is unmistakable." "Hippos." "They are one of the most deadly Africa." "I'm in northern Kenya to show how to stay alive." "But now I'm faced with a animal deadliest of Africa." "If I was to this river and tried to cross it the truth is that he would die." "And the question would be those hippos." "They are incredibly dangerous." "Males are extremely territorial and females extremely protective of their offspring." "And the worst place to be is between a hippo and water." "There was an Australian lady that was between a hippo and the water and the hippo was completely crazy." "Attacked her, threw it into the air, was upon her and bit until she died." "And that is a warning to me to keep me away." "It is the first warning." "1 kilometer ahead things look better." "This place actually is not bad so I try to cross." "It has a fast torrent and not very deep." "It is rare to find hippos in shallow water like this." "This is perhaps my best chance to cross this river." "Hippos prefer waters deeper and calmer to support the full weight of his body." "This here is so ... so slippery." "I will try to avoid being dragged for lakes more funds." "Be careful here guys." "Ok We." "I will follow the river to the lower mountain." "But everything around me reminds me I'm in a situation of life or death." "It may seem unnecessary but for me the best way to follow the river is into it." "And this water is very cold and fast for hippos." "But what's here are leopards." "And I'm probably better here than around ravines and forests." "I can see that I'm in a place higher now." "Also because the water is cold." "The current is increasing and this can only mean big waterfalls." "But even so it is easier to scale them than climb the steep slopes around." "Although this cascade is cold scale it was great fun." "And fun is a little is essential to keep the moral up." "It's almost dark and as the sun sets, there is a serious risk of hypothermia." "But water and this means people still my best chance of finding them." "This water is really cold." "What I'm doing is trying to keep the top dry." "As far as I know in cold water like this, did not last long if she came up to the neck." "I was two days battling with a scorching heat but now the cold is my biggest problem." "Until I see something." "Look." "Look." "Look at this." "Look." "These lines seem to come directly something that seems ... seems to be a kind of pulley or the like." "So you can see a basket, look." "It's probably a way for farmers local food by sending these gullies." "This is my first sign that perhaps there are people around here." "The strings seem to be part pulley system abandoned." "I just need to know if these chords are strong enough or not." "Well" "Only one way to test." "Top." "There are at least 30 meters up there." "And the only way to climb it is the hard way." "With hands." "There are no major technical or style." "We need pure strength, confidence and never look down." "This was what I was expecting." "Some cabins and some sign of civilization." "And what I learned about Africa is it a place full of life and where there is a real struggle survival." "And for some live others have died." "But here, the key to stay live is to understand the animals and as our ancestors, we use our brains to stay on top the food chain."
