You are an amazing and incredibly strong man. They don't make them like you anymore. You are a real man. I admire your strength, passion, attitude, drive and perseverence. The adventurer inside of you is beyond your control. That was apparent watching Dateline. You cannot fairly be criticized by choosing adventure over your family. Unfortunately something has to give and it wasn't your choice that it be the family, it was by default. Your wife is incredibly patient to have stuck with you for 18 years. She realizes too that it is something beyond her or your control. You are a wonderful husband, best friend and father and I hope your family can accept you as you are (your wife is trying so hard to) and carry on knowing that you're always there for them, though not always physically. I hope your marriage and family stay intact and if it doesn't, it's apparent you will always be best friends. God speed to you and your family. PS...so good to know you're doing something with your passion which is to share it with others by leading the groups on tours of an amazing part of this

I really enjoyed your story,but not the outcome.I really hope you and your
wife will get back together.In 2004 I was diagnosed with cancer I had a large
tumor growing in my chest.I also went through open heart surgery and I had
to do chemo.I gave my boyfriend a chance to walk away just in case I didn't
make it but he stood by me.Now almost 5years later and still cancer free
we are still together.I have 1 more cancer scan and a operation to restore my
voice.I hope only the best for you and your family.Never give up on your hopes and dreams

Hi Peter, I love your story about your life. God Bless you and your family and remember ,( which I know you already know.) Proverbs 3:5,6 . It is comforting to know that God continues to watch over us when we somehow think we have everything under our control and in reality we have no control but God has ALL CONTROL. Your story is a great inspiration and I had to make my comment because God cares and loves you!!!!!!!Keep Trusting him

I do hope that you are happy in your role as father to your 3! Also,Why do you think you like to be tracking through the dangerous places you do, Now that you know you don't have to prove anything to your Dad?

Peter your story is so inspirational and tragic. As I watched the TV I couldn't help but think about my situation with my girlfriend. We both are driven people who have worked toward our current career paths since our childhood. Since graduating from the same college 3 years ago this spring we've struggled, not wanting to hold each other back from each others dreams. This has taken us in different directions. While we love each other dearly the 3 hours between us has put an emotional strain on our relationship. At first we thought with time career and lifestyle flexibility would bring us together, however, the success we have both enjoyed has just made it that much more difficult to be together. While I'm living my dream I just can't imagine life without her. Looking for advice from someone who has been down that road.

Dear Peter, I watched the interviews of you and Jools on dateline. It is a beautiful life that you have. I had a dream once of living in Austraia but it just couldn't happen for me. I do hope that you are a happy man and that Jools is happy now. You looked so sad on dateline. Your story breaks my heart and I do hope that if it is meant to be that you and Jools can be reunited. I understand that over time a heart can change..there's nothing like having a loving relationship and to have a partner to spend your life with. Be careful on those trips of yours...you take care, Dolly...tell Jools that I hope her love of art pays off for her. She seems very talented.

I was truly amazed and heartbroken by your story this evening! I also had a major struggle with making my father proud. After college I was determined to be the best, have the best and never be #2! I have paid a dear price for that dedication. I have lost my fiance, business, home, car and most importantly my family and friends. I am now broke living on peoples couches with less than one dollar in my pocket!

I need to ask you how do you shake off the past when all you did was try to succeed and all you ended up with was heartbreak!

Where you ever on Shults Peninsula in Antartica? It was named after my Dad, Capt. Roy G. Shults (U.S.N., Ret.). He too was a lover of Antartica and spent 3 volunteer tours of duty on the Ice.

Hi Pete,

A very heartfelt segment.

What factor(s) now motivates you to move forward, to continue to live your life for the better, after realizing that your previous motivation was from that of your father?

Thanks,

Kevin

Dear Pete, what an inspiration story. About two weeks ago, I found out an old friend of mine lost her son. He too had a brain injury and could not cope with his new reality, and took his own life. I noticed in the documentary, your doctor told you that it would take eight years before you would know if your brain would make the new connections. Is this true? You seem totally back to your old self other than the change that a life threatening situation causes. Hope everything works out for you and Jools, somehow I think it will.

Hiya Peter!!!

As a Head Injury Survivor I Loved the Program. I just wanted to tell you how proud of you I am. My Head Injury happened in 1978 when I was struck by a car and thrown 88 ft in the air. I've found that recovery is an ongoing daily process!!!
I'm so proud of your progress!!!

Hi Peter,
What an amazing story!!! I'm not sure what happened between you and your wife, I just know that YOU are capable of anything..... including winning her back! Yes, your greatest challenge (and greatest reward) yet. I just know you can.
Keep the faith!
