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 think fire is so critical in the wild. You can cook with it, you can make tools, you can deter a predator, you can dry your clothes and you get that element of morale that matters so much when you're stuck in the middle of nowhere.

You're not human if you don't feel fear. But I've learnt to treat fear as an emotion that sharpens me. It's there to give me that edge for what I have to do.

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

I don't like expeditions where it is a total lottery whether you live or die. You have to keep those sort of good luck cards for rare occasions!

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

Dreams, though, are cheap, and the real task comes when you start putting in place the steps needed to make those dreams a reality.
