'I made a raft out of a zebra' - Bear Grylls tops listener's stories and survives Alaska with President Obama

Scott Mills

Available for over a year

Head scout and survival expert Bear Grylls joins Scott and Chris to talk about leading President Obama through the Alaskan wilds in a special episode of Running Wild. Says Bear, "We talked about flatulence... and if you can drink your own pee and why! Lavatory humour's a great leveller..." Since he's a man with so many tales, Scott also gets Bear to top some of your survival stories. Who wins, listener Alice being locked in a bank or Bear escaping from a locked mine? "I had a little bit of plastic explosive on me... it's always there for an emergency."
