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

I never wanted to do TV. I just did what I was trained to do through the Special Forces, and I've been doing that from a very young age.

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

Survival is not about being fearless. It's about making a decision, getting on and doing it, because I want to see my kids again, or whatever the reason might be.

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.

Survival can be summed up in three words - never give up. That's the heart of it really. Just keep trying.
