In the wild, Bear Grylls<\/a>\u00a0will sleep inside a camel carcass and drink the water out of elephant poo, but the former\u00a0British Special Forces operator, high-altitude mountaineer, and survival expert likes to have a few more creature comforts when he\u2019s traveling like the rest of us. Here are his top gear picks from decades of globe-trotting.<\/p>\n

Gerber Compact Compass ($19)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve worked with Gerber on survival kits for years, and the item that always comes out on top for me is this compact compass.\u00a0Navigation is key in a survival situation, and you can\u2019t rely on technology 100 percent of the time. In low temperatures or wet and windy conditions, this compass<\/a>\u00a0has always had my back and helped me return safely to base. But you need some basic skills to use it effectively.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI worked with Revo to design these sunglasses<\/a>, and they\u00a0come with me on every adventure.\u00a0I\u2019ve branded them as \u2018almost unbreakable.\u2019 They would have been \u2018totally unbreakable,\u2019 but I had one pair get crushed to bits when a two-ton boulder landed on top of them, so I\u2019m going with \u2018almost unbreakable.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe less kit to carry, the better. That\u2019s why we spent months designing this multifunctional bottle.\u00a0At night\u00a0it\u00a0can be a great light source, and during the day,\u00a0the solar charger provides some extra juice for my phone in an emergency.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIn the wild, knowing what time you set off and how long you\u2019ve been going is vital. A watch<\/a>\u00a0can also be used as a navigation tool: using\u00a0the hour hand and the sun to find north can help get you out of a sticky situation if you\u2019re lost.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThese shoes<\/a>\u00a0mold to the shape of your foot and have some of the best traction I\u2019ve ever worn. They\u2019re great to train in, too, and are quick drying, which reduces the need to change shoes between different terrain.\u201d<\/p>\n

Marlow 11-millimeter\u00a0Black Marlow Defense Rope ($243)<\/h2>\n

\u201cThis<\/a> is the\u00a0same rope\u00a0commandos use to rappel out\u00a0of helicopters,\u00a0but we use this stuff for everything when filming. It\u2019s\u00a0tough, light, and looks the part, and\u00a0I also use it to make rope swings for our boys.\u201d<\/p>\n
