  It&apos;s easy to judge a man when you are commenting on a phone in a safe environment with stomach full of food. But truth is none of know what we are actually capable of doing to survive when dying.

  this man just dropping the most INSANE life experiences like he’s describing a trip to the grocery store 😭😭 <br>“we were laid on our backs and cut repeatedly with bamboo blades… which was not ✨good✨” <br>“and they were assassins and hitmen and bodyguards for pablo escobar, and I got away with it 🤷‍♂️” <br>“the hardest of all is the arctic… you can fall through the ice and die in 30 seconds, maybe a couple minutes if you don’t have a heart attack [..] so off I went, and it was terrible” <br>“I’ve almost died 9 times”<br>like BRO 😭😂

  I have a dog and can not imagine doing anything to cause him harm. However, unless you have truly been in a life or death situation I dont think anyone should judge him for making that choice. No of us know what choices we might make to live given those circumstances.

  ‘The dogs wanted to be in safe hands, quite rightly’ had me laughing at the irony 😂

  It&apos;s amazing how humble and nonchalant this man is while sharing his stories. Old-school Brits truly were a different breed.

  Kinda ironic that he started out in a book warehouse with a dream of getting to the Amazon :p

  I saw this guy talk live at a book festival this summer, he has so many stories and the pictures of him Living with tribes is insane! &nbsp;He’s truly one of the last modern day explorers.

  Just because someone else has been there it doesn&apos;t mean your not an explorer if you do something for the first time.<br>Its your experience that counts.
