“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!”

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.

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.

It’s unresolved conflict in my life that I have a lovely family and a risky job.

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.

When you find yourself thinking about someone or something in the same old negative way, just stop yourself. Think. Check. Change. Refresh. Job done. Smile. Move on. Do this enough times and you will change. For the better; for the stronger.

I try and eat really healthy when I’m home, but I certainly don’t eat worms and snakes.

I’ve fallen down crevasses, been bitten by snakes, been knocked unconscious, had various limbs broken and once, a heavy camera came plunging down which very nearly decapitated me.

He looks like something that fell out of a deck of cards!

Haven’t you ever played Uno?… Sometimes you have to lose all your cards to win.

It’s cool to actually have my own trading card.

It’s my object to be stared at like a dog that’s just been shown a card trick.

It is natural for me to ignore autograph seekers, but God wants me to share my testimony card with them and be loving. That power and initiative comes from him.

Let everyone witness how many different cards fortune has up her sleeve when she wants to ruin a man.

Trust everyone, but always cut the cards.

I ignore Hallmark Holidays. And this comes from a guy who has sold a million Opus greeting cards.
