Shaquille O'Neal appeared on a recent episode of Bear Grylls' survival skills show Running Wild with Bear Grylls when Grylls and Shaq scoped out a spot to camp for in the Adirondack Mountains.

This required Shaq to construct a large pile of leaves to stay warm and dry for the night. Even the Shaqtus needs leaves sometimes:

"I feel like a big Christmas tree right now," O'Neal said at one point, but perhaps he was just having flashbacks to this Inside the NBA body check from Kenny.
