Running Wild With Bear Grylls is a reality adventure show that follows Bear Grylls, a survivalist and adventurer, as he takes celebrities into the wilderness to teach them survival skills.

In the very first episode of the show, Grylls takes actor Zac Efron out into the wilderness for an adventure of a lifetime. The episode begins with Grylls and Efron meeting up in the Catskill Mountains of New York, where they exchange friendly banter and introductions. Grylls then lays down the ground rules and explains the basics of what they will be doing over the next few days.

The two begin their journey by hiking through the thick forests of the Catskills, climbing up and down steep terrain and battling through rocky paths and intense foliage. Throughout this journey, Efron is visibly amazed by the beauty of the wilderness and continuously expresses his excitement at being there.

After a tiring day of hiking, they reach their campsite which is situated next to a roaring river. Grylls then teaches Efron how to start a fire without matches, something that is important in case they run out of lighter fluid or matches. Efron is thrilled at his success, and Grylls adds that this new skill will come in useful when he's camping with his friends.

Next day, Grylls and Efron set out to tackle some of the most challenging parts of their journey. They climb steep rock formations and free-jump from one to another in a bid to cover more distance quickly. This is the part of the trip that challenges Efron the most, as he speaks candidly about his fear of heights.

After a grueling day of rock climbing, Grylls and Efron decide to take a break and indulge in some fishing. Grylls teaches Efron the basics of fishing, and they catch a beautiful rainbow trout in the fast-moving waters of the river. Efron savors the moment as Grylls prepares the fish for their dinner using only basic tools.

One of the highlights of the trip is when Grylls takes Efron on a thrilling helicopter ride, 1000 feet up in the air. Grylls explains that it is important for them to see a bird's-eye view of the wilderness they are exploring as it gives them an idea of the challenges they will face ahead.

The final leg of their adventure is a climb up a steep cliff, where Efron faces his biggest challenge yet. Grylls encourages him to keep pushing and reminds him that he's capable of achieving anything he sets his mind to. Efron manages to scale the cliff successfully.

Throughout the episode, Grylls and Efron develop a close bond, as Efron puts his trust in Grylls and follows his lead. Grylls feels happy to see him succeed and expresses genuine pride in his accomplishments. The episode ends with Grylls and Efron reflecting on their experience and acknowledging the importance of stepping out of one's comfort zone in order to grow.

In conclusion, the first episode of Running Wild With Bear Grylls, featuring Zac Efron, is an exciting, action-filled adventure and a great start to the series. It showcases Grylls's vast knowledge and impressive survival skills while also highlighting Efron's fearlessness and willingness to learn. The episode shows how important it is to step out of one's comfort zone and push oneself, no matter how challenging it may be.
