After finishing school, he joined the Australian Army and served his country overseas as a qualified infantry soldier – an experience that sparked in him an unrelenting desire for adventure. But when he leaves the army Luke finds himself broke and adrift in London, caught up in the soulless world of drug and alcohol addiction. When he wakes up in a police cell with no memory of how he got there, he knows he has hit rock bottom, and makes the snap decision to turn his life around. Within days he is in Thailand, training his mind and body at a Muay Thai boxing camp in the jungles of Phuket. In suffering Luke finds his salvation, and he decides to make the most out of life by seeking adventure in remote corners of the world. Since then Luke has climbed the highest mountains on six continents, set a new world record for ocean rowing across the Atlantic, battled -60 degree temperatures in the Antarctic, witnessed death at high altitude, was held captive in the humid jungles of West Papua and has thrown himself from cliffs in the adrenalin-fueled world of BASE jumping. More than an awe-inspiring story of endurance and adventure, One Life One Chance will ultimately remind you that we only have one shot, so don’t waste a second of it.

Book excerpt: At the beginning of his memoir Life Lived Wild, Adventures at the Edge of the Map, Rick Ridgeway tells us that if you add up all his many expeditions, he’s spent over five years of his life sleeping in tents: “And most of that in small tents pitched in the world’s most remote regions.” It’s not a boast so much as an explanation. Whether at elevation or raising a family back at sea level, those years taught him, he writes, “to distinguish matters of consequence from matters of inconsequence.” He leaves it to his readers, though, to do the final sort of which is which."--Amazon.
Download or read book Bulldust In My Bra written by Rebecca Long Chaney and published by . This book was released on 2002-12 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: TALES OF A YOUNG COUPLE'S YEAR WORKING IN THE OUTBACK VIVIDLY TOLD IN "BULLDUST IN MY BRA'. A dream year of working in Outback Australia offered more than Rebecca Long Chaney had anticipated. She had more heat and dust, more exhaustion building fence, more hours herding berserk feral cattle, more snakes and spiders in her sleeping quarters--and more adventure than she'd ever imagined! Bulldust In My Bra is the lively, funny story of a brainy and brave woman who took a hiatus from her career as a successful agricultural journalist to travel with her husband into the farthest reaches of the Outback. Their objective: find a cattle station that would accept them as ranch hands and work till they dropped every day. Chaney had grown up on a dairy farm and traveled widely reporting about the agricultural industry. Her husband Lee was the herdsman on a dairy farm. But they wanted a new challenge, and what would be better than the Australian Outback? On the way to Australia, the Chaneys stopped in Tonga, New Zealand and Papua New Guinea for escapades hiking and exploring, but their real adventure began when they arrived in Western Australia with their eager faces and American accents. Their "home" was a ruined shed with wide cracks to the wind and stars, a drippy shower over a mud hole, and lizards that darted across the walls. Chaney soon got over her dismay and came to love their primitive conditions, including the poisonous huntsman spider who was their "shack mate." Her anecdotes, amusing and sad, are full of vivid detail and exude the love she felt for the rough landscape and hardworking people who live there. Her understanding of herself changed, as did her relationship with her husband. The highlights of their months in Australia was the lengthy task of gathering and processing the thousands of cattle that ran wild on the tens of thousands of Ashburton acres. Over several months, the crew chased them on horseback and with adapted cards called "bull-buggies." There was tagging, dehorning, and castrating to be done in the cattle yards. Bulls were separated and hauled in multiunit "road trains" to shipping yards. The hundreds of running cattle churned up the dry earth into a fine "bulldust" that settled on everything--the mark of long days in the bush. Chaney describes their mustering days with such verve that the grueling work seems more like adventure sport than the life work on an Outback station. Bulldust In My Bra is a witty and rewarding account of a couple's life-changing year traveling and working half a world from home.
