Bear Grylls is in the jungles of Belize where he plays Tarzan in the trees, comes face to face with a 9ft boa constrictor and is left hanging by his fingertips over a raging white-water river. The TV show aired last night on the Discovery Channel. If you missed it you can watch it again on Monday, January 19 at 8p.m. on local channel 11 (Discovery Channel). See your local listings for show times. For a preview of Bear Grylls in Belize click on the two video links below.

I missed the first five minutes but watched the rest with interest. I sure hope tourists don't decide this IS Belize! I only saw one overall shot from a high outcropping that lasted only seconds. The rest was in sloggy, wet jungle.
The boa was impressive. I didn't know they had bones - and so many!

I watched last night also and learned:

Mountain pine resin can be used to start a fire in the rain.
How to field dress and cook a boa.
That "Wet Scorpions are OK to eat"
That all caves have an exit
That all rivers flow to the sea.
That I will never go that deep into the jungle.
That the show was not sponsored by BTM.

Yes it is a 'survival show", but I would prefer a show about surviving on the beach!

I did notice that as he floated near the mouth of the river the boat that came and got him was a Belize Coast Guard Boat! YEAH - taxpayers dollars at work.
