President Barack Obama will join television presenter and survivalist Bear Grylls to tape a special edition of Running Wild with Bear Grylls during his time in Alaska this week.

NYT writer Dave Itzkoff broke the news on Twitter, following an official press release issued by NBC early Monday.

According to the press release, Obama will become the first-ever American president to receive a crash course in wilderness survival from Grylls, whose NBC show takes celebrities out into nature. The pair will also spend much of the episode discussing the disastrous effects of climate change.

When a conservative friend complains about it (and they will) be sure to show them the manly photos of Paul Ryan working out.

2. Will they hide out in a hotel room?

Grylls is a fraud. Les Stroud is the real deal.

4. I saw the shows with Kate Winslet and Kate Hudson and he freaked both of them out

it makes for great television

7. I'm glad he's doing interesting things but people have exposed Grylls as a

fraud who abuses animals. He gets dogs from the shelters, dresses them up and used them as night time 'bears'. He's a fucker to me.

8. But President Obama is a city man, so even a 'TV pretend survival camp' will be fun for him

And it is a beautiful place for President Obama to spend time.

I've watched Les Stroud for years. He is the one to watch if you want to learn important survival skills.
