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.

Sometimes an ember is all we need.

And if you give your heart to a goal, it will repay you. It's the law of the universe.

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.

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!

A friend once asked me what qualities were needed for SAS. I would say to be self-motivated and resilient to be calm, yet have the ability to smile when it is grim to be unflappable, be able to react fast and to have an ‘improvise, adapt and overcome’ mentality.

As for my diet, I try to eat lean, clean and healthy - nothing too surprising. And I avoid too much meat or dairy because they slow you down.

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.

I had many opportunities to get behind products in the past, and I was always careful to evaluate all of them. I will not put my name to shoddy items.

Live a wild, generous full, exciting life – blessing those around you and seeing the good in all.

Textbook survival tells you to stay put. Stop. Wait for rescue. Don't take any risks. But there'd been a whole host of survival shows like that and I didn't really want to do that.

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

You can't live someone else's expectations in life. It's a recipe for disaster.

You can't become a decent horseman until you fall off and get up again, a good number of times. There's life in a nutshell.
