I Grew Up On Survival Shows And

As A Young Boy, Scouting Gave Me A Confidence And Camaraderie That Is Hard To Find In Modern Life.

I've Fallen Down Crevasses, Been Bitten By Snakes, Been Knocked Unconscious, Had Various Limbs Broken And Once, A Heavy Camera Came Plunging Down Which Very Nearly Decapitated Me.

I Was Always Brought Up To Have A Cup Of Tea At Halfway Up A Rock Face.

I Come From A Line Of Self-motivated, Determined Folk - Not Grand, Not High Society, But No-nonsense, Family-minded Go-getters.

Weather Can Kill You So Fast. The First Priority Of Survival Is Getting Protection From The Extreme Weather.
