Being brave isn't the absence of fear. Being brave is having that fear but finding a way through it.

That feeling when you're so cold you'd give anything to be warm - I've had it before, literally huddled around a candle flame on an ice sheet.

I never wanted to do TV. I just did what I was trained to do through the Special Forces, and I've been doing that from a very young age.

My work is all about adventure and teamwork in some of the most inhospitable jungles, mountains and deserts on the planet. If you aren't able to look after yourself and each other, then people die.

Survival can be summed up in three words - never give up. That's the heart of it really. Just keep trying.

A wise man knows; learn from others, never get complacent and know where the classic old dangers come from.

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.
