I do see a lot of the hard end of ecology, and my feeling is that we live on a super-exciting planet but a super-fragile one.

The difference between ordinary and extra-ordinary is so often just simply that little word - extra. And for me, I had always grown up with the belief that if someone succeeds it is because they are brilliant or talented or just better than me... and the more of these words I heard the smaller I always felt! But the truth is often very different... and for me to learn that ordinary me can achieve something extra-ordinary by giving that little bit extra, when everyone else gives up, meant the world to me and I really clung to it.

Unless you have shelter, fire is going to be very hard and if you have fire, but no water, you're going to die. They're all super important.

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.

The rules of survival never change, whether you're in a desert or in an arena.

To me, adventure has always been to me the connections and bounds you create with people when you're there. And you can have that anywhere.
