The popular television show Man vs. Wild, which airs on the Discovery Channel, recently visited South Dakota, where host Bear Grylls got a first hand look at the incredible wilderness, including the Black Hills and Badlands, that will host Primal Quest 2009.

Man vs. Wild has garnered a cult following with the weekly premise of taking the charismatic Grylls and dropping him into some inhospitable backcountry. He then spends the next hour of the program demonstrating ways to survive in that environment. Highlights of this episode include Bear dealing with the notoriously unpredictable weather in the Black HIll, running with a herd of bison, and eating rattlesnake.

The South Dakota episode is set to be re-broadcast on Monday, Oct. 6 at 10 PM ET/PT.  Tune in to get a glimpse at what’s in store for the teams competing in Primal Quest Badlands.
