LONDON, UK (Team Geared Up) - Bear’s Grylls Blog has a wonderful comeback at the press for nay-saying his achievements and moaning that he stayed in a motel during a Natural Born Survivor episode.

Bear comes back to them with 3 letters posted on his blog, and little comment from himself. The Authors of the letters speak for themselves and are written a little tongue in cheek… ;-)

Here’s one:

Dear Sir/Madam

The Daily Mail’s attack on Bear Grylls mentions that he is ‘the cheese soufflé’ of the adventure world and, by way of pushing this assertion, suggests that he may not have been the youngest Brit to scale Everest, and implies that the T.A’s/21 SAS Regiment is not as tough as the Regular 22 SAS Regiment. I would comment that he was indeed the youngest Brit because the only possible rival claimant was clearly Australian. And that 21 SAS membership requires distinctly non-cheese soufflé people. Its comparison to 22 SAS is therefore irrelevant and cheap, suggestive journalism of a misleading nature.

Not bad!
