A. Copper Canyon was pretty special, as were the Andes and the Amazon in Ecuador, but in truth they have all been amazing! The series for me has been a privilege to be able to do — hard and emotionally difficult at times but a privilege all the same. Especially as I feel there are so many people who could do my job better than me — so many more survival experts, better climbers, better skydivers ... you name it. I feel lucky also that I was asked by Discovery to do this and that it has been so popular for the channel.

Q. Among other record-breaking feats, you've made it into the Guinness Book of World Records as the youngest British climber to summit Mount Everest and return alive. Do you have any plans to set another world record?

A. Yep ... this May, God willing — I am leading an attempt to fly powered paragliders over Everest.

Q. When you're home with your family, do you go camping and hiking together? We love to take our little ones out into the woods!

A. I try not to! That's my work! But we do head up to our Welsh island hideaway, sleep in hammocks, eat picnics and climb and swim in the sea with the seals! (There is no mains water or electricity, so we collect water off our roof and have a wind turbine for power.) But it is heaven and we enjoy our peace and quiet together as a family.

Q. What's the worst injury you've experienced while filming Man vs. Wild?

A. ... endlessly smashing my elbow that I broke on Everest when I fell down a crevasse at 19,000ft ... I keep smashing it doing all these dives and rolls etc. filming ... I can feel the bits of bone swilling around in there somewhere!

Q. If either (or both!) of your children said to you, "Daddy, I want to be an adventurer like you when I grow up," what would you say to them?

A. ... they have more sense than me! Jesse has told me at age 3 that he wants to be a librarian which is great news! My dream though is to teach them to climb — nothing necessarily big but just to climb all together. My father taught me that two things ever matter — follow your dreams and look after your friends. I would love to pass on the same message.
