For me, my training is a key part of my work as so often my life has depended on being able to move fast and haul myself up and out of something fast!

I've fallen down crevasses, been bitten by snakes, been knocked unconscious, had various limbs broken and once, a heavy camera came plunging down which very nearly decapitated me.

Survival is not about being fearless. It's about making a decision, getting on and doing it, because I want to see my kids again, or whatever the reason might be.

If you risk nothing you gain nothing

Life doesn't reward the naturally clever or strong but those who can learn to fight and work hard and never quit.

I always wanted to be Robin Hood or John the Baptist when I was growing up.

You only get one chance at life and you have to grab it boldly.
