The star joined the host of �Man vs. Wild� for an upcoming episode of the Discovery Channel show, set to air in June. It�s a stellar example of cross marketing promotion with Ferrell�s �Land of the Lost� scheduled for release June 5.
In the episode, Ferrell joins Grylls in the far north of Sweden and they spend 48 hours taking on Mother Nature. They rappel down hundred-foot frozen waterfalls, tandem-abseil off a helicopter and huddle for warmth overnight in subzero temperatures. The two also find food in the forest, improvise snow shoes and drink their own urine (because, come on, what is an episode of �Man vs. Wild� without some urine drinking?)
�Will did an amazing job in subzero, very unforgiving conditions,� Grylls said. �He trusted me when it mattered, and we survived. � He should be very proud of how he performed.�
Ferrell called the stint on �Man vs. Wild� �a thrill of a lifetime, even though I did get urine-drunk, which is sad.�
The two even eat reindeer eyeballs (ick) together.
�That says it all,� said Discovery Channel prexy-general manager John Ford.
