Cooped Up? Get Uncooped.

After watching Man vs. Wild for the past few years, I'm surprised Bear Grylls has been able to save himself. Despite having a camera crew there to assist him, he makes one crazy, boneheaded move after another. 

Apparently, he's doing something right. Nine-year-old Grayson Wynne used techniques he'd learned on the show to help searchers find him when he became separated from his family in Utah's Ashley National Forest this past weekend. He tore up his yellow rain coat to tie around a tree in hopes that rescuers would see the clue and track him down. He also created his own shelter under a tree to get through the night. After 18 hours of being lost, searchers were able to track Grayson down using the trail that he'd left behind. Luckily, it doesn't appear that Grayson mimicked any of Grylls' eating or drinking habits while he was out there. Yahoo
