There's no getting away from it: Bear Grylls has eaten some pretty foul things in his time. But a man's got to eat and sometimes, out in the wild, you have to think outside the box to fill your stomach and keep your strength up. Divided into three sections, the first will give you lots of great ideas about how to forage and prepare simple food in the wild with your buddies around the campfire. The second takes things up a notch and will teach you how to stalk, hunt and cook game, using techniques Bear has refined over the years. He's talking rabbits, squirrels, pigeons, snails - stuff you'll be hard pressed to find in your local supermarket but which is out there for the taking, if you only know how. The third section is not for the faint-hearted. Millions of people out there eat insects, anthropods and amphibians, but I bet you've never tried a scorpion kebab or a rack of alligator ribs. They're plentiful, nutritious and, believe it or not, pretty tasty. Some of the food in this book might take you out of your comfort zone. Some of it might turn your stomach. But the time might come when knowing how to catch and cook a nice, hairy tarantuala could save your life!
