Ferrell survives wilderness adventure show

Funnyman Will Ferrell is a survivor after signing up to appear alongside adventurer Bear Grylls in an upcoming episode of his Man Vs. Wild series.

Already taped for a June (09) airdate, Ferrell spent 48 hours in the frozen Swedish wilderness learning how to stay alive against the odds with the former military survival expert.

In the episode, Ferrell will be shown drinking his own urine - a regular survival tip from Grylls on his hit show.

Grylls tells Daily Variety he was impressed with his movie star survival pal: "He trusted me when it mattered and we survived."

Old School star Ferrell adds the trip was the "thrill of a lifetime, even though I did get urine-drunk, which is sad."
