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.

More quotes by Bear Grylls
All worthwhile journeys have big obstacles. It's the way of the world. The rewards go to those who can push through those trying moments and still manage to keep a smile on their face.
Bear Grylls
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.
Bear Grylls
Being brave isn't the absence of fear. Being brave is having that fear but finding a way through it.
Bear Grylls
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
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.
Bear Grylls
The only difference between 'try' and 'triumph' is varying degrees of 'umph'
Bear Grylls
Unless you have shelter, fire is going to be very hard and if you have fire, but no water, you're going to die. They're all super important.
Bear Grylls
I'm probably going to be the scruffiest Chief Scout you've ever had and my health and safety policy is non-existent.
Bear Grylls
I grew up on survival shows and they were always just so...anoraky.
Bear Grylls
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!
Bear Grylls
And if you give your heart to a goal, it will repay you. It's the law of the universe.
Bear Grylls
I always wanted to be Robin Hood or John the Baptist when I was growing up.
Bear Grylls
You only get one chance at life and you have to grab it boldly.
Bear Grylls
Always keep the big picture in mind- you are greatly loved by Jesus and your job is to love Him and others in return. The rest is detail.
Bear Grylls
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.
Bear Grylls
Many great people over the centuries have depended on their faith- it is a sign of great strength to need Jesus in your life.
Bear Grylls
All my life the only thing I've been good at has been climbing and throwing myself off big things.
Bear Grylls
Both faith and fear may sail into your harbor, but only allow faith to drop anchor.
Bear Grylls
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.

Sometimes it's hard for us to believe, really believe, that God cares and wants good things for us and doesn't just want us to go off and give everything up and become missionaries in Burundi.
