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.

I grew up on survival shows and they were always just so...anoraky.

My favorite moments? Where it's all going swimmingly, the sun's out and I've got a fire going and a nice snake on the barbecue.

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

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.

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

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.

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