7 of the best merchandise for true Bear Grylls fans

Top Bear Grylls Merchandise for True Survivalist Fans

What do all 16 to 30 year old males have in common? Not an awful lot, but if you’ve ever attempted to buy a birthday or Christmas present for one of them, you’ll know that one thing they do all share is the fact that they’re pretty difficult to please. They just aren’t particularly interested in very much, they’re choosy about what they do like, and they will have already gone out and bought most of what they actually do need or want anyway. And it doesn’t get much easier when they get older either.

One public figure who has succeeded in capturing the imagination of a good chunk of this disparate and hard-to-please bunch is survival expert and adventurer Bear Grylls. Fresh out of the SAS and looking liking a boyish, twinkle-eyed action man made flesh, Bear was catapulted to fame in 2006 with hit show for Channel 4, Born Survivor (also broadcast on the Discovery Channel as Man vs. Wild) and his popularity was spurred on from the success of Running Wild and The Island. He’s never been far from our screens since, and has expanded on his TV success via numerous books, DVDs, clothing and survival accessories.

So you should be able to find plenty to chose from if you’re looking for something for that picky young chap in your life. Here are just seven of the best to get you started.
