The hardest thing about my job isn't the snake bites or the crocodiles, it's being away from my children. I have a really religious satellite phone call every day back to the boys, wherever we are, whatever time zone, to say goodnight.
Eating any of these things, goat testicles or what have you, isn't going to be nice, but you get into that zone, you become focussed and you do what you need to do. It's all about one thing: coming home in one piece.
All my life the only thing I've been good at has been climbing and throwing myself off big things.
I started to get so many letters from unlikely people; a single mum going, "I watch your show, I'm not into survival, but I hold down four jobs and I get it when you say it's about persistence and putting a positive attitude into things during difficult times." That for me was a great liberator to realize that the show isn't about me running around, jumping off stuff and flexing muscles, it's about inspiring people. That makes me really happy.
Many great people over the centuries have depended on their faith- it is a sign of great strength to need Jesus in your life.
It's unresolved conflict in my life that I have a lovely family and a risky job.
I've eaten sheep's eyes, the still hot meat from a zebra killed by a lion, and maggots which give you 70 calories to the ounce.
One killer exercise that's really great is pull-ups with your legs out level. That's my favourite. It's such functional core strength, and that's why I can climb up trees and down vines.
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.
The extremes of jungles, mountains, and deserts are inherently dangerous places.
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 have held healthy respects of bears along with assorted crocodiles, snakes and lots of other animals. You know, bears are dangerous, you have to be super careful.
I was christened Edward. My sister gave me the name Bear when I was a week old and it has stuck.
Nobody wants to end up super rich and famous - but divorced. I'm always clear on that and try to stay on the right side of the line.
The SAS Reserve tends to be made up of former paratroopers and commandos who still want a challenge, but it is open to civilians.
Alpha was the best thing I ever did. It helped answer some huge questions and to find a simple empowering faith in my life.
Nobody else is stupid enough to get themselves into the straits that I get into.
My Christian faith is my backbone
That feeling when you're so cold you'd give anything to be warm - I've had it before, literally huddled around a candle flame on an ice sheet.
For me, my training is a key part of my work as so often my life has depended on being able to move fast and haul myself up and out of something fast!
It breaks my heart that my father never knew my children. He should have been around for another 25 years.
Americans are cool, if you show just a chink of vulnerability, they respond so much. They'll pat you on the arm and say, 'Hey kid, you're all right'. Brits will respond but they are much more cynical.
Christianity is not about religion. It's about faith, about being held, about being forgiven. It's about finding joy and finding home.
The special forces gave me the self-confidence to do some extraordinary things in my life. Climbing Everest then cemented my belief in myself.
As for my diet, I try to eat lean, clean and healthy - nothing too surprising. And I avoid too much meat or dairy because they slow you down.
