Nobody else is stupid enough to get themselves into the straits that I get into.

One killer exercise that's really great is pull-ups with your legs out level. That's my favourite. It's such functional core strength, and that's why I can climb up trees and down vines.

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.

I love Ray Mears. He's brilliant. He's so rude about me in the press, it's outrageous!

I joined the Army at 19 as a soldier and spent about four and a half years with them. Then I broke my back in a freefall parachuting accident and spent a year in rehabilitation back in the U.K.

I am not fearless. I get scared plenty. But I have also learned how to channel that emotion to sharpen me.

All worthwhile journeys have big obstacles. It's the way of the world. The rewards go to those who can push through those trying moments and still manage to keep a smile on their face.
