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

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

When I'm in 'Man vs. Wild' mode, it's not pleasure. Every sensor is firing and I'm on reserve power all the time and I'm digging deep - and that's the magic of it as well, and that's raw and it's great.

I always wanted to be Robin Hood or John the Baptist when I was growing up.

Sometimes it's hard for us to believe, really believe, that God cares and wants good things for us and doesn't just want us to go off and give everything up and become missionaries in Burundi.

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