Yes, the Boy Scouts of America should definitely allow gay adult leaders and I think it’s really going to hold them back if they don’t.
The rules of survival never change, whether you’re in a desert or in an arena.
If you risk nothing, you gain nothing.
I look back and understand the world a bit better and know how competitive it is .
I was always brought up to have a cup of tea at halfway up a rock face.
Live a wild, generous, full, exciting life – blessing those around you and seeing the good in all.
I think fire is so critical in the wild. You can cook with it, you can make tools, you can deter a predator, you can dry your clothes and you get that element of morale that matters so much when you’re stuck in the middle of nowhere.
You can’t become a decent horseman until you fall off and get up again, a good number of times. There’s life in a nutshell.
A wise man knows; learn from others, never get complacent and know where the classic old dangers come from.
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.
People ask me, “How do I succeed?” Whatever it is they do, I say, “Go and find 20 ways of messing it up. By 21, you’ll be getting there.” Life is an adventure, go back with cuts, scars and bruises.
My faith isn’t very churchy, it’s a pretty personal, intimate thing and has been a huge source of strength in moments of life and death.
Never depend on those luck moments – they are gifts – but instead always build your own back-up plan.
Without risk, there can be no growth.
There’s no magic to running far or climbing Everest. Endurance is mental strength. It’s all about heart.
Nothing inspires people more than reckless acts of courage.
