EXCLUSIVE: Bear Grylls has unveiled an original content slate for Outdoors.com, the adventure site and streaming platform he recently acquired alongside Nashville-based digital investor Savage Ventures.
The slate will be part of a relaunch of Outdoors.com aimed at making the platform “the home of adventure,” with Grylls also contributing content while overseeing its general direction. You can read a full Q&A with him below. British adventurer Grylls is best known for his high-octane series such as Nat Geo/Disney+’s Running Wild with Bear Grylls, which has seen him take the likes of Shaquille O’Neal, Julia Roberts and Barack Obama into the wilderness on survival expeditions.
Among Outdoors.com’s first greenlights is the first documentary feature from Grylls’ son, Jesse Grylls. This captures Grylls Jnr’s first-ever BASE jumping expedition in Mongolia.
Subscribers to members-only tier Outdoors+ will get early access. Survival consultant, TV host and author Meg Hines and world-record holding explorers The Turner Twins will also provide how-tos and safety tips via articles, video and direct contact with the Outdoors.com community.
