I do see a lot of the hard end of ecology, and my feeling is that we live on a super-exciting planet but a super-fragile one.

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

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

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

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.

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.
