Aldo Kane is a man well acquainted with living on the edge. Having joined the Royal Marine Commandos just before his 16th birthday he went on to become an elite sniper touring the globe on duty in the most hostile environments known to man. And you couldn’t say Aldo put his feet up after leaving the military, forging a new career as an extreme locations safety expert on big TV and film productions.

This line of work has seen him travel even more extensively, using his exclusive skill set to descend into live volcanoes in the Congo, abseil off the highest waterfall in the world and infiltrate drugs gangs with his pal Jason ‘Foxy’ Fox in series The Real Narcos. Added to his achievements Aldo was part of Team Essence, the fastest and first crew to row the longest route across the Atlantic Ocean from mainland Europe to mainland South America in 2016. No mean feat.

He also has serious survival credentials which you can examine for yourself on the Dave channel every sunday night at 8pm on his new documentary series #expedition - where Aldo, Steve Backshall and crew travel to some of the most remote places on earth. You can also watch on demand on UKTV.

Please enjoy this incredibly powerful chat with the hugely impressive, Aldo Kane.
