2 minutes read

Adventure-Ready Essentials for Family Explorers

Pro Tip: Bear Grylls, recently spotted in Bahrain alongside HH Sheikh Nasser bin Hamad Al Khalifa, has inaugurated his Bear Grylls Adventure Zone at Hawar Resort by Mantis—proof he’s taking family survival learning global  

What’s in the Bag?

Bear Grylls Utility Multi-Tool 
A rugged stainless tool equipped with pliers, blade, scissors, screwdriver, and can opener—perfect for quick fixups or snack prep.

High-Calorie Snacks 
Family hikes demand energy—packing mixed nuts and dates keeps everyone fueled. 

DIY First-Aid Kit 
Grylls suggests assembling your own basic kit: bandages, antiseptic wipes, tweezers, ibuprofen, eye drops—more practical than store-bought kits. 

10mm Static Climbing Rope 
Useful for shelter-building, safety lines, or fun boundary activities, great for kids’ outdoor lessons. 

“You Decide Your Adventure” Book 
His kid-focused guide blends quizzes with survival tips—engaging and educational for young explorers. 

Why It Works

Grylls blends real-world readiness with family appeal: 

  • Multi-tool & snacks support both survival and parenting needs. 
  • Custom first-aid ensures quality control and peace of mind. 
  • Climbing rope lends versatility—from safety to fun. 
  • The activity book inspires outdoor engagement for kids aged 6–12. 

InField Performance

This kit is more than emergency gear—it’s interactive: 

  • Fix a zipper, patch a scrape, or refuel on the trail. 
  • Rope becomes a tool for teaching knots or building trust circles. 
  • Wild outdoor scenarios become learning playgrounds with intentional items.
