Man vs. Wild

S01E02 Moab Desert

Bear Grylls is helicoptered into the scorching Moab Desert in Utah, where temperatures soar to nearly 45 degrees Celsius. Armed only with a knife, a canteen, and a flint, he faces the challenge of dehydration by soaking his shirt in urine and consuming two raven eggs, one of which he eats raw. He also shows viewers how to escape from quicksand and then swims across the Colorado River. Throughout his adventure, Bear shares insights on utilizing river currents as guides to locate civilization.
