Bear Grylls: Essentials ★★★★☆ ($2.99 / App Store) for the iPhone and iPod Touch is an interactive outdoor survival guide and tool. Developed and presented by the most famous survival expert, Bear Grylls. The app has 18 chapters, 100 photos, 40 videos, 35 interactive illustrations and some tools like an “analog” clock and weather predictor. Although this app doesn’t contain as much details as the SAS Survival Guide, Bear Grylls: Essentials is just as good because of the high graphical presentation and video media. With this app, your iPhone may actually be of some use when there is no service and your life depends on survival knowledge.
