If you're wondering, "How do I contact Bear Grylls?" you're not alone. This question has been frequently asked since I started writing about Bear Grylls in 2007.
Several readers asked me this question recently, prompting me to write this article with updated instructions. The internet is always evolving, and my 2009 answer and 2012 answer are now outdated. I added a note to my previous instructions directing readers to this article.
But it is challenging to contact Bear Grylls lately. Bear Grylls now has a contact page specifically for scouting and speaking engagements.
However, Bear Grylls still maintains an Ask Bear page where you can find answers to older questions.

An Example from a Question I Received
A reader once inquired about Bear Grylls visiting India. If Bear Grylls were here, I would ask:
Do you have any plans to visit India?
On Twitter, it's similar to sending an email. Instead of an email address, you must add Bear Grylls's Twitter handle to the question, like this:
@BearGrylls Do you have any plans to visit India?
