Man Vs. Wild Helps Lost Teen Survive In Frozen Wilderness

Who ever said TV wasn’t good for you?

After being stranded in a frozen wilderness during a ski trip on Mt. Bachelor, 14-year-old Jake Denham was able to survive thanks to lessons he learned from Discovery Channel’s reality series Man Vs. Wild.

Here are a couple of host Bear Grylls’ lessons that kept Jake alive:

– Building a snow bank to keep warm

– Looking to the North Star for directions

Man Vs. Wild must be a quality show, because when Jake was found, he was reportedly in “good condition.”

We’re very happy to hear it! If we ever go on a trip into the wilderness, frozen or otherwise, we’ll be sure to watch a couple episodes ourselves!
