Thats pretty impressive, hypothermia kills fast.

Teen skier missing in freezing Maine conditions for two nights is found uninjured after using survival skills he saw on TV to save his own life
Nicholas Joy, 17, of Medford, Massachusetts, went missing on Sugarloaf Mountain in Maine on Sunday afternoon
Dozens, including Navy SEALs, joined the search party to find him but their attempts were hampered by high winds and heavy snowfall
After two nights in freezing conditions the teen managed to stumble to safety
He was reunited with his parents, who joined him on his journey to hospital, telling a camera crew he was 'great'
He told rescuers he had used survival skills from popular TV shows to keep alive - building himself an igloo, drinking from a nearby stream and using branches for warmth

I assume he drank his own piss...

Now Bear will finally have a story with a happy ending to tell on his show!

By "nearby stream" I'm assuming he meant his urethra.

Haters gonna hate. Bear is awesome. His show is to show people survival techniques and challenges you may run into if stranded at different locales around the world. It even says so in the disclaimer.

Awesome for the kid.
