Jake Gyllenhaal is Bear's latest guest/victim but he proves to be a willing participant in every dangerous or revolting activity Bear can dream up to challenge Jake's acrophobia. He and Bear are lowered from a helicopter into a frozen wilderness in Iceland. There, Bear lowers Jake into an ice hole, then has him explore an ice cave and investigate a rotting carcass. Back up top Jake gets to eat a worm, wade across a glacier fed river, dig out a snow shelter by hand and crawl cross a gorge on a rope. Then it's a windy ride home dangling on a rope from a rescue helicopter.

Bear shows the challenges of stranding on an uninhabited minor Hawaiian island, as after shipwreck, albeit parachuted. He explores it for food, other resources, a suitable shelter, a signal fire, rain collection. Spear fishing and diving are very hard, the yield modest. So he builds a raft and sets out in high sea, despite the risks including thirst, hunger, sunburn -despite self-made skin protection- and a hungry tiger shark.

Bear para-glides into the Montana Rockies. After risking his life climbing down a water fall on a rotten old log and rope ladder that is a bit too short he tries to cross a lake on a holey canoe using a make shift kite and manages to make it part way. Surviving these exploits he finds an unstable rock wall to climb, a collapsing mine to explore and a chasm to jump over. Then it gets really dangerous before getting absolutely crazy.
