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!

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.

I've eaten sheep's eyes, the still hot meat from a zebra killed by a lion, and maggots which give you 70 calories to the ounce.

The appeal of the wild for me is its unpredictability. You have to develop an awareness, react fast, be resourceful and come up with a plan and act on it.

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

And Jesus, the heart of the Christian faith is the wildest, most radical guy you'd ever come across.

I'm terrified of walking into a room full of people. Sitting down at a dinner table with 15 strangers brings me out in a sweat.
