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.

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.

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

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.

One killer exercise that's really great is pull-ups with your legs out level. That's my favourite. It's such functional core strength, and that's why I can climb up trees and down vines.

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

My best life lessons and education didn't come from a classroom - they've come from the wild. How you act in the big moments, the ones that challenge you, scare you, tempt you, and force you to make the right decisions, is what defines you.

I've had so many injuries in my life that it's ridiculous.

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

Image
You only get one chance at life and you have to grab it boldly.
Bear Grylls
Image
But the wild is unpredictable, stuff does happen, and it's always when you're least expecting it.

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.

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

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

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.

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

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.

Sometimes an ember is all we need.

I said no to the Born Survivor producer three times because I've never aspired to be a TV man.
