Man vs. Wild with Bear Grylls
This is a show made by Discovery Channel.The start of the show, Bear Grylls goes to remote areas and illustrates how one might survive.After watching the show many times I saw tonight for the first time that Bear Grylls now wears a Breitling Emergency with rubber strap.Quite a solid watch, I wonder if he purchased it or Breitling sponsored him.The Breitling Emergency consists of a transmitter which is activated (for 48 hours) by unscrewing a protective cap and pulling the antenna out fully.
