Bear Grylls Quotes
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.

Are men still natural hunters or have we, as a species, been tamed by civilization?

I’ve been bitten by snakes, chased by crocodiles, had encounters with sharks, ridden rapids, had parachute failures, fallen down crevasses, caught in avalanches.. you know, you name it. I think one of the most dangerous things is often really bad weather. I think that’s something people often underestimate.

We have a saying in the military: “train hard, fight easy”, and if I took people to, say the South Downs of England, they’re not really going to learn how to survive in extreme conditions.

The more civilized we get, the greater the wanderlust and adventure spirit inside. You can’t stamp out 100,000 years of DNA survival in two generations.

I’m super-proud of hitting number one in the bestseller list and climbing Everest but, to be honest, all of those things are the fluff. The real pride in my life is our three young boys and the life and adventures we live together.

I grew up with these survival shows that were always quite slick, always very premeditated and considered, and they always sounded quite boring. Life is not like that, and survival sure as hell isn’t – it’s messy, so I don’t mind it when things go wrong.

From a young age I was climbing with my dad and making rafts – it had me hooked on adventure! The Scouts helped me develop that love for the outdoors, plus the fact that the whole world is truly accessible to us if we have the will and determination to go out and make things happen.

This is about testing that survival spirit and resourcefulness. That ability to think under pressure, to be calm in a storm.

Surviving these situations is about attitude and what I want to instill is the positivity, resourcefulness, energy and fire that’s needed.

Tenacity. That’s the key to great survivors, that never say die spirit and that ability to keep going. Just keep going, and never, ever give up. I say it all the time, whether it’s to scouts or kids or Hollywood stars I’m taking on “Running Wild,” it’s always about never giving up. You can have all the skills, but if you can’t put up with it when it’s grim and keep going, it’s no good.
