For me, my training is a key part of my work as so often my life has depended on being able to move fast and haul myself up and out of something fast!

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

Being brave isn't the absence of fear. Being brave is having that fear but finding a way through it.
Bear Grylls
Image
All my life the only thing I've been good at has been climbing and throwing myself off big things.
Bear Grylls
Image
One thing I know for sure: it is only by doing what we fear that we can ever truly learn to be brave.

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 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.

Eating any of these things, goat testicles or what have you, isn't going to be nice, but you get into that zone, you become focussed and you do what you need to do. It's all about one thing: coming home in one piece.

I've eaten sheep's eyes, the still hot meat from a zebra killed by a lion, and maggots which give you 70 calories to the ounce.

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

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!

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.

I've fallen down crevasses, been bitten by snakes, been knocked unconscious, had various limbs broken and once, a heavy camera came plunging down which very nearly decapitated me.

Above all, I feel a quiet pride that for the rest of my days I can look at myself in the mirror and know that once upon a time I was good enough. Good enough to call myself a member of the SAS. Some things don’t have a price tag.

There's no magic to running far or climbing Everest. Endurance is mental strength. It's all about heart.

When you find yourself thinking about someone or something in the same old negative way, just stop yourself. Think. Check. Change. Refresh. Job done. Smile. Move on. Do this enough times and you will change. For the better for the stronger.

To get ready to climb Everest, I did a lot of hill running with a daypack on and a lot of underwater swimming. I would swim a couple of lengths underwater and then a couple above. It gets your body going with limited oxygen.

Many great people over the centuries have depended on their faith- it is a sign of great strength to need Jesus in your life.
