Why President Obama Is Testing His Survival Skills on a Reality TV Show

It won't be just White House press corps cameras covering President Barack Obama during his trip to Alaska. NBC announced the commander in chief will trek through the Alaskan wilderness with survival expert Bear Grylls for a special edition of his show "Running Wild". President Obama will meet with Grylls while visiting Alaska to observe the effects of climate change. The president will then get a crash course in survival techniques from Grylls. The visit will be taped and aired on NBC later in 2015.
