Let's make this birthday one to remember.

59 years old (Born on November 29, 1965)

Happy Birthday, Mykel Hawke! You've conquered jungles, navigated deserts, and survived family adventures on "Man, Woman, Child"—proving that parenting can be the ultimate survival challenge. Your fearless leadership and quick wit have inspired countless viewers to embrace life's wild side (and maybe pack an extra snack or two).

From Special Forces missions to teaching us how not to panic when lost in the wilderness with loved ones (a skill we didn't know we'd need), your journey continues to amaze. Here's hoping this birthday brings fewer bugs than your last adventure—and more cake than you can camouflage. Cheers!
