    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.

    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.

    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'

    In sumatera we call it "parang", but in java they call it "golok". If you write "perang", in Indonesia it means "war" not "machete".

    • @TheSilence1

      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.

  • @Mamboro17
    @Mamboro17 15 років тому +1

    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.

    @1465225568 15 років тому +2

    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.

    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.

      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.

    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.

    @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.

    • @kyotecaller9140
      @kyotecaller9140 2 роки тому +3

      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.

    • @JohnSmith-gp3co
      @JohnSmith-gp3co 2 роки тому +1

      No sharper than a kitchen knife. Just that they’re so long & heavy with the momentum of a swing behind it.

    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.

    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.
