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.

Weather can kill you so fast. The first priority of survival is getting protection from the extreme weather.

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
Image
Success almost always follows great attitude. The two attract each other!

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.

Being brave isn't the absence of fear. Being brave is having that fear but finding a way through it.

All my life the only thing I've been good at has been climbing and throwing myself off big things.
Bear Grylls
Image
Nothing inspires people more than reckless acts of courage.

The only difference between 'try' and 'triumph' is varying degrees of 'umph'

Image
I do see a lot of the hard end of ecology, and my feeling is that we live on a super-exciting planet but a super-fragile one.
Bear Grylls
Image
I learnt another valuable lesson that night: listen to the quiet voice inside. Intuition is the noise of the mind.
Bear Grylls
Image
Nobody wants to end up super rich and famous - but divorced. I'm always clear on that and try to stay on the right side of the line.
Bear Grylls
Image
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 love home cooking, and I'm not a great one for fast food.

Image
I didn't want to do eight seasons of How To Build A Fire. The intention was to make something fun and dynamic and about self rescue, not about whittling.

Both faith and fear may sail into your harbor, but only allow faith to drop anchor.
