Jake Gyllenhaal and another dude struggling to survive in the wilderness? No, this is not the sequel to “Brokeback Mountain” but Gyllenhaal’s very own episode of “Man vs. Wild,” which aired on the Discovery Channel last night.

During his two days in the great Icelandic outdoors, Gyllenhaal (along with host Bear Grylls) did some decidedly unkosher things from eating worms to gutting a dead sheep.
