What Scouting says to people is: Every child has a right to have an adventure. Life is about grabbing opportunities

Many people find it hard to understand what it is about a mountain that draws men and women to risk their lives on her freezing, icy faces - all for a chance at that single, solitary moment on the top. It can be hard to explain. But I also relate to the quote that says, Iif you have to ask, you will never understand.

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.

My faith is an important part of my life and over the years I've learnt that it takes a proud man to say he doesn't need anything. It has been a quiet strength and a backbone through a lot of difficult times.

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

Once a job it has begun, do not stop until it's done. Whether it is big or small, do it well or not all.

I try and eat really healthy when I'm home, but I certainly don't eat worms and snakes.
