But the wild is unpredictable, stuff does happen, and it's always when you're least expecting it.

My best life lessons and education didn't come from a classroom - they've come from the wild. How you act in the big moments, the ones that challenge you, scare you, tempt you, and force you to make the right decisions, is what defines you.

Never depend on those luck moments – they are gifts – but instead always build your own back-up plan.

You only get one chance at life and you have to grab it boldly.

I love making healthy lean foods delicious - that's an art!

Textbook survival says stay still, don't take any chances, wait for rescue. That's a boring TV show. My thing was always, Listen, shoelace, dead squirrel and no other way down this rock face. You can do this!

I train five days a week hard - but it is short and sharp - 30 to 40 minutes of functional and pretty dynamic body-strength circuits, then I do a good yoga session on the sixth day, then I rest.

I never wanted to do TV. I just did what I was trained to do through the Special Forces, and I've been doing that from a very young age.

I hang out all the time with kids and young scouts and I never meet kids who don't want adventure.

Nobody else is stupid enough to get themselves into the straits that I get into.

The line between life or death is determined by what we are willing to do.

I loved climbing because of the freedom, and having time and space. I remember coming off Everest for the last time, thinking of Dad and wishing that he could have seen what I saw. He would have loved it.

I always wanted to be Robin Hood or John the Baptist when I was growing up.

My work is all about adventure and teamwork in some of the most inhospitable jungles, mountains and deserts on the planet. If you aren't able to look after yourself and each other, then people die.
Bear Grylls
Image
You're not human if you don't feel fear. But I've learnt to treat fear as an emotion that sharpens me. It's there to give me that edge for what I have to do.

Without risk, there can be no growth.

The lesson is, the rewards in life don't always go to the biggest, or the bravest, or the smartest. The rewards go to the dogged and when your going though hell, to the person who just keeps going.

Adventure should be 80 percent 'I think this is manageable,' but it's good to have that last 20 percent where you're right outside your comfort zone. Still safe, but outside your comfort zone.

I've seen extreme bravery from the least likely of people. Life is about the moments when it's all gone wrong. That's when we define ourselves.

Time and experience have taught me that fame and money very rarely go to the worthy, by the way - hence we shouldn't ever be too impressed by either of those impostors. Value folk for who they are, how they live and what they give - that's a much better benchmark.
