I love that Ray was not about flashy entertainment and cared about doing it right and proper to educate people. Way to go Mr. Mears. I come back to rewatch these vids time to time.
Same
What Ray meant is that the water is hot, BUT it's still refreshing on the hottest day, I should know... I'm Steve Cortland the visual mixer on that BBC edit.
"This watervine is packed with safe water to drink." -Spits it all out after....
Do you know what episode this is?
Born from a master carpenter, that shelter was pretty cool. The frame, the parts, the shaping is phenomenal in that situation.
I would have loved to see the finished product. Amazing how quick they make a shelter that looks more like a true home!
believe me, these knots are pretty strong. The hut they're making is called a 'paparisa'
5 people who were lost in the jungle then found crying and shivering in the rain next to a tree disliked this video
In sumatera we call it "parang", but in java they call it "golok". If you write "perang", in Indonesia it means "war" not "machete".
In the Philippines it's also called a "golok".
Bamboo in the tropics is alot different than bamboo in more northern climates.Bamboo here in Pennsylvania is hard as a rock.The bamboo in the video looks like a joy to work with.
It has been used in warfare for at least 600 years. All Malukuan ppl carry parang (also called 'mancado') in the jungle, it will save your life up there.
Just because they have a simpler lifestyle does not make them uncivilized. They are civilized in their own right, they have houses, laws, tools, etc; just in a simpler form.

I wish they would bring back Ray Mears episodes.
He has done the odd new series now and again but not as good as the old stuff .
the first video i saw with ray mears. Love this guy
Mears. Has been my hero since I was about 12. I'm 24 now and I still still hold the same opinion.
how about now?
No medicine or hospitals, either.
But I agree to a point, living in the bush is the life.
this is real tight. that machete's like a razor.
Those guys are very skilled, but I suppose it's because they've been doing that kind of stuff their whole lives out of necessity. I wish life was that simple around the world. It seems like it would be a very peaceful and fulfilling way to live. Nice vid.
Their jungle skills go nowhere in the city
These guys are ingenius as hell!
I have a perang knife, very sharp, good for chopping or even fine cutting.
beautiful
In Indonesian: "Perang" means war, but the word for machete is "PARANG"
Man they are quick builders.
Parangs...
And yes they are.. These people where Head hunters in the old day`s and they still are..
My forfathers are alifuru people..
This is in Ceram in the Moluccan islands
Water moves up the xylem through a process called capillary action. Capillary action allows water to be pulled through the thin tubes because the molecules of the water are attracted to the molecules that make up the tube. The water molecules at the top are pulled up the tube and the water molecules below them are pulled along because of their attraction to the water molecules above them.
Ok man.. tnx for your response..
Amatoo
masters at work
ray is the man ..............
how amazing
Man these guys really know how to handle a machete!
Refreshing, ESPECIALLY on the hottest day, I would have thought.
Shut up
impressive building skills
Respond to this video... Excellent video and good points for the A Frame and where to get fresh water.
Cool!
such a shame that technology has become so developed. Id love to have lived in the middle ages where there were no concrete roads, houses, cars, pollution etc. living in the bush is the life
"refreshing even in the hottest day"
Well, it looked like he didnt enjoyed it pretty much
you have never been thirsty.the vines with water taste good. cut above the loop on them then the top as high as you can more water held in the loop. good stuff. but then there are rivers to drink from. lol. never drink from the rivers.
Yes. Parang.
I know these people , they are Nualu tribe from Seram island in eastern archipelago in Indonesia. these people is hard core don't mess with them or you will lose your head , that's why they called Headhunter Tribe and why the ISLAND got their name SERAM. in english SERAM mean Scary .. so in english is SCARY ISLAND
Sago palm?
Good
Does anyone know what episode this is?, It doesn't say in the description.
yup yup so true
DAMN those are some nice machetes
For the most tasks we use a simple machete and a small knife! The jungle provides the rest!
cool
We always used the Parang in the old days..
My for fathers are Alifuru people...
This is in The moluccans... on the island Ceram
Yes indeed. It was at Ceram Island. Nusa Ina.
Now that is some bushcrafting!
Does anyone know a solid source explaining this? I've heard mixed information from many people with a lot of experience in the bush.
John "Lofty" Wiseman for instance, in his book SAS Survival, he says the top of the vine should be cut first.
wow theyre good
@nantakana yes, Parang is the correct word.
@1buckshort yea it supposed to sound like PAR-RUNG, not PER-RANG
You have to use straw/grass and even water if you can get it.
here in iloilo, Philippines, we call this "binangon". our all around utility blade.
i 1der wut they used b4 the machete? rocks ?
The word "parang" is Indonesian or Malay, while in their tribal language it is called "Tunue" = Machete.
where can I buy one?
extreme sharp machete (parang) man best friend in jungle
damn these things aere sharp!
Anywhere tropical mate, but I really love the Amazon
@warriorofsteel01 in bryan texas, they have this grove, beautiful bamboo. but even with a saw its hard to get through. and its not even that thick. you get the occasional wrist thicks but mostly they would make wonderful wonderful fishing poles. though truthfully a machete prolly could snick them. just didnt have mine at the time because we walked through town to get it.
you have to buy it.
Need show titled
"Making of a traditional Perang ".Nice shelter.
dibalo kisiera vivir asi :)
it's written on the title, is that also his accent ?
I wonder if people realize just how crazy sharp those machetes are.
sharp yes, soft materiel yes. it makes a difference. use them in the desert. you would be in for a surprise. the wood is dence and hard. I used a collins in the Jungles of Panama for many years hunting with dogs for deer and pig. I kept it sharp and love cutting trail with it and many other things. I knew not to hit the hard woods with it. seems most the jungle is soft stuff and easy to chop through.
No sharper than a kitchen knife. Just that they’re so long & heavy with the momentum of a swing behind it.
God, I hope I never have to see Ray Mears drinking water out of a vine again.
naturekid that is not a sword,, its parang.. just like machete.. used for chopping trees when you are in the jungle..
what will the quality be like though?
Where did you have in mind?
It really is amazing the things those people can do with all they have. I would like to see modernized parts of the world having everything taken away from for a year. How many people would perish/live?
Ha..I would also. there would only be good people left. the rest,Well laying on the ground clutching their smart phone looking for uber food delivery with vultures over head.
It is Parang,
Wow, how cool would it be to actually spend a night in something you improvised in a few hours? I think it would be interesting, anyway.
thats because its not permanent and its made from stuff a few feet away unlike concrete and glass and wood paint wires metal plastic.... you know what i mean...
omg thats a beast of a sword
Those natives are EXPERTS with those machetes! I have one & while camping damn near took my thumb off ! they make it look super easy. .. be careful S'all I'm sayin'
Probably axes like they use in Papua
(Maluku and Papua are both West-Melanesian countries and have a lot in common)
i miss playing with the plant at 1:16 :)
Need a RUM vine !
you mispelled they're
Parang/golok/bendok/canduong
I know, was just kidding.
Over here (Holland) there's no poison ivy.
Instead we've got giant hogweed wich can cause burning blisters just by accidentally touching the leaves.
some times when it's hot out a drink taste really bad.
yach kamu kyknya emang original
Perang can also mean war,
well im from indonesia
it's like a man vs wild..
parang should be pronounce like PAR RUNG..
Perhaps pvc would work aswell?
Good luck in finding pvc in the jungle yeah..all the best 😆😆
Interesting fact: the male perang has a tip that cants forward. While the women's perang has a tip that curves or cants toward the spine.
The acid from cutting vegetation darkens the carbon steel blade thus helping it to resist rust.
The wooden scabbard helps to absorb moisture from the sheathed blade.
Rubbing sand into a a wet wooden stump creates an abrasive sharpening medium in primitive environments.
It would be if you had no other water source.
its parang... wat the hell...
@7Supernova7 yea, he did really spit it out!
Mimosa Pudica, Sensitive plant.
@practicalwhacktical it is cuz he didnt let it run clear sorry for bad english
they have uniforms
I wish there was bamboo where I live
That´s pretty funny!!
they go into the woods and consult with shaman, then after a sacrifice is made, Oogoolukko, got of metal (I know I know, some will argue Rob Halford is the TRUE god of metal, but i digress) creates this blade out of the basic elements of the earth. The other option is they go to the local trading post and buy/trade for one, produced locally by craftsmen, after all its just a machete.
And I have trouble putting up a tent....
I WISH I COUL LIVE LIKE THIS! FREEEE AND HAPPY. FREE FROM BURDENS AND OPPRESSION OF SOCIETY. WARE DID IT ALL GO WRONG!?
Rite,not Perang but Parang...Perang means "War" in Indonesian/Malaysian.
Ray actually said parang but you might be referring to someone else.
