Mungo: Living the Dream - More Extreme Adventures of a TV Cameraman - Hardcover

---- "Exciting, authentic account from the man who has filmed & survived in almost every single one of the world's extremes - and still come out smiling!" (Bear Grylls, Adventurer and TV Presenter) ---- "Without Mungo, Bear Grylls would be doing all that incredible, insane stuff and no one would see it! Mungo does it all with a 15kg camera on his shoulder and captures amazing images at the same time. The stories in this book are fascinating" (Ben Stiller, Actor, Director & Filmmaker) ---- "What can I say about Mungo the exceptional cameraman. From the minute I met him we never stopped laughing and we soon became great friends. We have travelled the world together and made some great TV shows - he is one of the most talented cameramen I've ever come across. I thoroughly recommend this book, which is a fantastic read and insight into what a cameraman goes through." (Charley Boorman, TV Adventurer) ---- "Whether I found myself perched on the diving cliffs of Acapulco, Mexico, ready to jump, or being strapped to a bull in a pen waiting to be thrown off, much to the amusement of 5,000 baying Texans, Mungo has an uncanny knack of making it all seem fine. I don't want to sway your opinion, but he's a great lad and much loved by me and my family, but I'll leave that for you to decide! With tutoring from Mungo, the Flintoffs are prepared for 'End Days' scenarios - I have learnt to pitch a tent in less than an hour, can get a good fire going on the third attempt and I carry a head torch and karabiners pretty much everywhere I go." (Freddie Flintoff, Ex-England Cricket Captain and TV Presenter) ---- "Mungo is, in my opinion, one of the best cameramen I've worked with. He is always in the middle of the action and tells the story perfectly." (Simon Cowell, X Factor and Britain's Got Talent) ---- "I've worked with Mungo on many TV shows. He is just a great guy to work with. Amazing at his job, professional and hard-working. He never complains, always has a smile on his face and the team he works with adore him (and he's jolly handsome too!)." (Davina McCall, TV Presenter) ---- "In television, it boils down to what's on the screen. What makes Mungo a legend is what he does to make it happen. It's all about style, grace, authenticity - and guts." (Richard Wiese, Host of ABC's Born to Explore and former president of The Explorers Club) ---- "I think travelling should be fun and making documentaries as you go gives it even more meaning and creativity and so the people you go with have to add to that mix - and Mungo certainly does." (Russ Malkin Producer - Long Way Round & Long Way Down) ---- "When I first met Mungo, I immediately warmed to him. He followed me across the wilds of New Zealand for an entire week - and no matter how hard it was to shoot, he'd always get that shot. And thanks to his chilled demeanour and collection of hilarious stories from across the globe, it's a pleasure not only to work with him, but then to go to the pub and chat about life. Because if anyone is living the dream, it's definitely Mungo!" (Tobias Mews Adventure Sports Journalist [Telegraph Men columnist], Filmmaker & Endurance Athlete) ----
