Our achievements are generally limited only by the beliefs we impose on ourselves.
Sometimes an ember is all we need.
What Scouting says to people is: Every child has a right to have an adventure. Life is about grabbing opportunities
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.
You only get one chance at life and you have to grab it boldly.
And Jesus, the heart of the Christian faith is the wildest, most radical guy you'd ever come across.
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.
The SAS Reserve tends to be made up of former paratroopers and commandos who still want a challenge, but it is open to civilians.
The extremes of jungles, mountains, and deserts are inherently dangerous places.
That feeling when you're so cold you'd give anything to be warm - I've had it before, literally huddled around a candle flame on an ice sheet.
Nobody wants to end up super rich and famous - but divorced. I'm always clear on that and try to stay on the right side of the line.
It's unresolved conflict in my life that I have a lovely family and a risky job.
As for my diet, I try to eat lean, clean and healthy - nothing too surprising. And I avoid too much meat or dairy because they slow you down.
The hardest thing about my job isn't the snake bites or the crocodiles, it's being away from my children. I have a really religious satellite phone call every day back to the boys, wherever we are, whatever time zone, to say goodnight.
