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

Weather can kill you so fast. The first priority of survival is getting protection from the extreme weather.
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.
Bear Grylls
Image
The rewards of the wild and the rewards of the survivor go to those who can dig deep, and, ultimately, to the guy who can stay alive.
Bear Grylls
Image
Sometimes an ember is all we need.
Bear Grylls
Image
I'm terrified of walking into a room full of people. Sitting down at a dinner table with 15 strangers brings me out in a sweat.
Bear Grylls
Image
Success almost always follows great attitude. The two attract each other!
Bear Grylls
Image
And if you give your heart to a goal, it will repay you. It's the law of the universe.
Bear Grylls
Image
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.

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