“I mean, in the last few months alone, I've been pinned in a big set of white-water rapids, been bitten by an angry snake in a jungle, had a close escapewith a big mountain rockfall, narrowly avoided being eaten by a huge croc in the Australian swamps, and had to cut away from my main parachute and come down on my reserve, some five thousand feet above the Arctic plateau.

When did all this crazinessbecome my world?"

This quote shows self reliance because Bear Grylls is going out alone into the wilderness and surviving using only himself and his own skills to survive.
