I have to ask. Is Hot British Survival Guy called Bear Grylls? I saw him on telly doing strange things in the everglades, including stabbing a turtle to death and drinking its blood. Then, he inflated his pants and used them as a life raft to swim across a lake. Seriously. Who does that?
I actually learned how to inflate clothing for use as flotation devices when I took swimming lessons as a kid. We'd have to spend the entire 45 min class in the deep end of the swimming pool, not touching the walls. We'd jump in wearing jeans and a long sleeved shirt. While in the water we'd have to remove our clothes, tie knots in them and then blow them up. And then spend the rest of the class using them to help us tred water. It was hard, but a fun class. And it's a skill I hope to never have to actually use.

If it's the same guy, you are right, he is cute.

Unfortunately all that stuff just makes me think of Eddie Izzard talking about learning how to make a speedboat out of his pyjamas.
