Weather can kill you so fast. The first priority of survival is getting protection from the extreme weather.

Priority Survival Weather
The SAS Reserve tends to be made up of former paratroopers and commandos who still want a challenge, but it is open to civilians.

Challenges Made Want
I loved climbing because of the freedom, and having time and space. I remember coming off Everest for the last time, thinking of Dad and wishing that he could have seen what I saw. He would have loved it.

You only get one chance at life and you have to grab it boldly.

My work is all about adventure and teamwork in some of the most inhospitable jungles, mountains and deserts on the planet. If you aren’t able to look after yourself and each other, then people die.

Climbing Confidence Self Special
A friend once asked me what qualities were needed for SAS. I would say to be self-motivated and resilient; to be calm, yet have the ability to smile when it is grim; to be unflappable, be able to react fast and to have an ‘improvise, adapt and overcome’ mentality.
BEAR GRYLLS

Overcoming Quality Self
Above all, I feel a quiet pride that for the rest of my days I can look at myself in the mirror and know that once upon a time I was good enough. Good enough to call myself a member of the SAS. Some things don’t have a price tag.

There’s no magic to running far or climbing Everest. Endurance is mental strength. It’s all about heart.
