Described by close friend Bear Grylls as ‘stronger than 99% of the men I know’, Megan Hine is a survival expert and TV presenter who works on and off camera to make some of the most extreme adventure shows on television happen. She also holds a degree in psychology – just another string to her already-very-loaded bow. I managed to catch Megan during one of the rare occasions she wasn’t on location for her day job, wrestling tigers, escaping tribal warfare or climbing a mountain (I’m not even exaggerating…). During this podcast interview, she chats to me via Zoom from her home in Wales – with the gorgeous sound of birdsong and clucking chickens.

We discuss, among other things:

  • Megan’s incredible, self-designed career as a survival expert – and how it began with her taking solo mountain expeditions at the tender age of nine
  • Being a ‘survivalist’ – and how we can apply those skills to our everyday lives
  • Why taking a ‘pause’ is an essential survival skill
  • What happened when Megan experienced burn-out
  • What ‘going bushy’ means – and how it applies to lockdown

You can learn more about Megan Hine on her website, Meganhine.com.

You can order my book, Alonement: How To Be Alone and Absolutely Own It, which is based on this very podcast, now from Amazon, Waterstones and Bookshop.org.
