My Christian faith is my backbone

Sometimes an ember is all we need.

If you risk nothing you gain nothing

Without risk, there can be no growth.

Faith is personal if it's to be real.

You don't often see Bear Grylls in a suit.

Life is an adventure that is best lived boldly

There is no feeling like coming home after danger.

The greatest journeys all start with a single step.

I love home cooking, and I'm not a great one for fast food.

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

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

I grew up on survival shows and they were always just so...anoraky.

The rules of survival never change, whether you're in a desert or in an arena.

Look, sometimes, no matter how hard you try, sometimes you need a bit of luck.

You can't live someone else's expectations in life. It's a recipe for disaster.

Nobody else is stupid enough to get themselves into the straits that I get into.

The extremes of jungles, mountains, and deserts are inherently dangerous places.

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

Our achievements are generally limited only by the beliefs we impose on ourselves.

I look back and understand the world a bit better and know how competitive it is .

Both faith and fear may sail into your harbor, but only allow faith to drop anchor.

I don't thrive on stress. I love lying on the deck on our houseboat reading a book.

And if you give your heart to a goal, it will repay you. It's the law of the universe.

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

As a young boy, scouting gave me a confidence and camaraderie that is hard to find in modern life.

All my life the only thing I've been good at has been climbing and throwing myself off big things.

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