Its quite sad the people are slagging Phils weight! The guys retired and chilling out, and he's earned his extra beef! Per Ardua.....

[@transformyourwealthandheal8555]

He must have been incredibly fit in his prime, far fitter than anyone that wants to criticise him.

[@avikillzkids5986]

Being fit doesn’t make you immune to being a filthy thieving mass murdering coward rat👍🏻🙃

Exactjy. Some gym bunny thinks 6 pack is required for selection. I remember a triathlete asking em about my all arms. And said that was easy. I told him. Take your lycra of. And your energy gel. Don’t sleep for36 hrs. Wet. Cold. Carrying injuries. Rashes. Blisters. Min food. And move Tactically. Then let’s talk. This guy has been through it all. And so he might have some demons which require self medication. He’s seen And done things that would make gyn bunnies wee their panties. Throbbers

You don't get in special forces if your a couch potato that's for sure. These chaps are on a different level fitness wise, only about 5% pass selection out of the best the British army has to offer.

[@RalphBrooker-gn9iv]

Interesting. I was physically abused by father (serious stuff). Failed 11+ (beating). Went to St. John’s College Southsea. Hated it. Joined the ATC, 1189Sqn. We wore the old WW2 battle dress, ammo boots, and greatcoat. Then joined Royal Hampshire Regt under Col Freemantle. Legend. COP and NIPG in 82. Loved it. Good luck to you Big Phil.

Why only 15 minutes 😞 I could listen to those two for hours. Incredible lives some people live. Chapeau

[@awaywithpaul3423]

I love listening to Big Phil, he talks a lot of sense. I remember his short videos on what to do if you find yourself in the midst of a terror attack back when it was a potential issue. Good sensible advice for keeping safe. The book is a great read too

[@tonygloster3483]

I met Phil on a cruise a few years ago he did a very entertaining show and then later got to chat to him at the bar that day a really nice guy true soldier much respect 👍

Fantastic to listen to some of his old stories. What a legend!

Served with Phil in the Royal Hampshire Regiment late 80s early 90s. Never would have thought he would go on to do all he has done way back then when we were youngsters in the battalion.

I read Phil’s book on holiday a few years ago, great read! Really enjoyed this interview too, seems like a top bloke!

[@TheAngelOfDeath01]

I love Campion. Always have listened to him every time I've seen a video with that bloke. And frankly, you former SAS ops are some of the best to learn from!

[@hotdogman75]

As others have said, pity this wasn't longer, Phil is such a great character! Had the pleasure of bumping into him a few times, watching Saints. One time, he turned up after K.O, straight from the pub. Within 2 mins he dropped his guts & cleared out a couple of rows in the Northam End 😄 Stewards thought there was some trouble, ran up but soon got wind of the cause 🤣

[@louisrifat2647]

Big Phil! - what a fantastic, upbeat and colourful character. Honest to a fault, and always grounded - something he shares with most ex SF. I'd love to see Bear and Phil to do an expedition together... Please! My hat is off.

[@davidian7787]

He sounds like a soldier's, soldier. You could take any soldier from Greece, the Romans, the Vikings, a man at arms on a medieval campaign and this is the person you would get. Really good. I fought pirates off a yacht in Papua New Guinea. We didn't have guns either. My dad, in his mid seventies was battering people with a length of wood and I was trying to bundle people over the side, shouting a lot helps. Getting the anchor up and running away helps even more. Happy days, in hindsight.

[@shadrickh5636]

Which part of PNG actually?

[@markjames6669]

What a nice chap Phil is . How he tells his past experiences is brilliant

[@kevinadamson5768]

Got to love Big Phil, funny and down to earth with a larger than life personality, someone you would like by your side when the bullets are flying to keep your morale up, nothing seems to faze him. Heard the story when he was in an ambush and the bullets were flying and he gets his hexi stove out and brews up, classic.

[@antonygiggs1904]

Massive respect to both these guys and anyone who makes the grade 👏

[@alanbell4297]

I had the honour and pleasure of doing an Army run Joint Service mountain adventurous training week up in Scotland near Fort William with Phil Campion many years ago. Me being a crab from the RAF, a boot neck from 45 Commando and a couple of Paras were on the course. A great guy and a lot of fun.

How did I not know about this channel? I used to watch all of Bears SAS stuff on British TV years ago.

[@soggz4246]

What a bloke! Many of my friends were in a children’s home,and not many of them are here anymore, due to the unfortunate paths they took. I’m guessing his YTS days must have been in the mid ‘80’s, for £26.25 a week,as I was on it too. So glad he joined the forces and pulled himself out of the hole he was heading for. He seems like a living legend like Billy Bingham, who came to our town and gave a talk about his life so far. Perhaps he should do a tour like Billy and talk about his days. I would go to hear him. He sounds a great character with some dark and light stories. All the best.👍🏾🇬🇧

[@twinpotracer]

Phil is a legend. I see him occasionally walking around the park and river near where I live. I never approach him, but always recognize him

[@PokeEyeSlapSlap]

Say Hello and be yourself, I’m sure he’d chat to you even briefly. Go for it, I bet he’s pinged you many many times and will recognise you.

[@richardmeftah2569]

What an amazing guy, he's such an engaging storyteller.

[@zakiranderson722]

I used to walk past a children's home whilst on my way to the sea cadets, I always felt privileged to walk along in my uniform and was very grateful for my upbringing I went on to join the TA 5RRF then eventually joined the RM's being surrounded in a good way🤣 by people like Phil had a long lasting impression.

[@m140jam5]

You have to love Phil for his carisma, what a bloke and what a life! Such a gd character. Love to sit and have a few pints with him and hear his story.

Its good to see these two have a bit of time together, I know Phil hadnt always been that complimentary about bear

[@geoffsaunderson5766]

@D hahaha! Bear is the son of SIR Grylls (in a peado enquiry by the way) little bear was sent on all sorts of very expensive adventures as a kid with the duke of Edinburgh award scheme, then for a very short period was in the TA sas seeing absolutely zero action. Then daddy used his connections to get him a tv series that was just a load of camera angles and acting! Whatever you say about Phil he could literally not be more fake than “bear”

[@nigelbase1196]
