Did you ever watch the TV show Man vs. Wild a few years ago with host Bear Grylls??? Well, he’s back with a new show “Get Out Alive” on NBC Monday nights 9/8c!!!
Premiering July 8, Bear Grylls puts 10 teams to the ultimate test in an adventure competition set in dramatic landscapes of New Zealand’s South Island. Their mission is threefold: survive the wild, journey as a group and avoid elimination. Each week, Bear will send home another team. In the end, only one duo will remain – the team that he believes has shown the most heart, courage, initiative and resolve in their quest to “get out alive” and claim a life-changing grand prize of $500,000. We are so excited to watch this new show, and see just how far these contestants will go to win the $500,000.
I already know that I wouldn’t survive very long on a show like this, but we figured we would have fun trying to figure out what we would do if we did have to do something like this. It was definitely fun to imagine some crazy things happening.. We like the outdoors, and plan on doing some good hiking over the next year or so. Really, what would happen if we were lost in the woods somewhere? My hubby and I started thinking about what would we keep in our backpacks to help us through a situation like this. Obviously, we would want some water, some snacks, and at least one flashlight, but what other items would we want to keep with us?
We took a look at our local Walmart Store, checking out all of the new Bear Grylls merchandise that is newly available. There is a huge selection on Walmart.com, but my store had a very small selection.
Something I really liked from Walmart.com was the Bear Grylls Ultimate Survival Kit.
One can never be fully prepared to confront the unpredictable situations life throws at us. If you enjoy camping in forests and often come face-to-face with hostile environments, then the Gerber Bear Grylls Survival Kit is indispensable. As with most camping survival kits, this one comfortably fits in your backpack. The kit consists of 16 invaluable pieces of equipments that can come in handy in a wide range of emergencies. The hunting survival kit contains a miniature light, fire starter, fishing kit, hand saw, waterproof matches, signaling mirror, sewing kit, emergency cord, and waxed thread, among other essentials. Instructions have even been provided to prepare you in case of a land to air rescue. Also featured is a pocket guide explaining the priorities of survival in case you run into wild, hostile or life-threatening circumstances. Throw this survival kit in your backpack and rest comfortably knowing you’re prepared for almost anything.

We both thought that it would also be important to have a small saw on hand to cut through branches, and small pieces of wood to use for a campfire, or just to get through an area that has a lot of tree branches in the way. The Bear Grylls Sliding Saw was also a good find!

There’s a lot of things that are important to have when you’re out in the wilderness. These were just a few things that we thought would be nice to have. I know hubby will be doing some shopping here before hunting season is upon us too. There are a few of these things that he’s going to want to keep with him while he’s out!
