“The truth is, I need 10 lifetimes to scratch the surface of the things I’d love to do.”

Life is an adventure that is best lived boldly

I think it’s fun running with dogs. They’re always so fit and fast.

Survival requires us to leave our prejudices at home. It’s about doing whatever it takes – and ultimately those with the biggest heart will win.

The rewards of the wild and the rewards of the survivor go to those who can dig deep, and, ultimately, to the guy who can stay alive.

Live a wild, generous full, exciting life – blessing those around you and seeing the good in all.

Make a little time to be quiet by yourself every day and just be.

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.

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!

Not making a decision is the worst thing you can do. So long as you feel you made the right decision based on the information you had at that time, there’s no need to fret about it. If it fails, you’ll know what to do next time.
