“Life’s full of lots of dream-stealers always telling you you need to do something more sensible. I think it doesn’t matter what your dream is, just fight the dream-stealers and hold onto it.”

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.

Christianity is not about religion. It’s about faith, about being held, about being forgiven. It’s about finding joy and finding home.

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!

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.

I have held healthy respects of bears along with assorted crocodiles, snakes and lots of other animals. You know, bears are dangerous, you have to be super careful.

I’ve eaten sheep’s eyes, the still hot meat from a zebra killed by a lion, and maggots which give you 70 calories to the ounce.

It is 100% natural, is whole food based, and I love the fact that it provides raw, anti-oxidant fruit and veg in a capsule form. For me it fulfills a key part of my nutrition, training and recovery needs.

Many great people over the centuries have depended on their faith- it is a sign of great strength to need Jesus in your life.

Well, wolves will pretty rarely hunt. You’re vulnerable if you’re on your own or injured. But for lone wolves, get up high, show them that you’re not injured, face ’em off, be authoritarian with it, and look ’em in the eye.

The lesson is, the rewards in life don’t always go to the biggest, or the bravest, or the smartest. The rewards go to the dogged; and when your going though hell, to the person who just keeps going.

I hang out all the time with kids and young scouts and I never meet kids who don’t want adventure.

Without risk, there can be no growth.

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!

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.
