The story of survival on the great plains of East Africa. After six day's wildlife filming on Kenya's famous Masai Mara National Reserve I found that through my lens I had captured the story of survival. The so-called cradle of mankind is Africa, remains of our early ancestors discovered amongst their stone tools and simple art. It is remarkable to think that early humankind shared these vast grasslands, rivers and forests with spectacular concentrations of animals, foraging and hunting alongside predatory big cats and vast herds of grazing antelope.The struggle to survive is written across this landscape of life and death, reminders that our early ancestors lived and died here, steadily spreading across the globe. Today these grasslands are precious survivors from earlier ages, some of the biggest concentrations of wildlife to be seen anywhere in the world.

I'm from Pakistan 🇵🇰 Gilgit Baltistan Skardu Khpolu near of K2 mountain 🏔️ see you r video absolutely amazing beautiful views super video keep it up good work super video
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed!
Mick! I'm glad you are doing well!
I've always wanted to go to Africa and meet and hunt with local tribesman. I've always wondered what a true hunter would think of my survival and craftsmanship skill.
And to show the Mrs that we really do have a lot to be humble for. It's easy to forget what we all came from. And how important it is to remember.
I thank you for that reminder.
Thank you 🙏
Your narration is brilliant as always. I do get the (mentioned by others) vibe of classic nature documentaries when watching this. Nice, slow, and above all: no overexcited squeaking and shouting, as it is so common nowadays.
Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed. Appreciate your comment.
Earlier today, I don’t know why but you came into my head. I did a You search and found 2 videos I had missed in my alerts ( too many UA-cam emails every day ). My 7 year old watched, fascinated by the stick tutorial, and wanted to watch the wheat sheaf video too. Now he wants to make one himself.
It’s great you’re making content again, I love the whole process of you creating this content. Hopefully you’re fit and well, and happy to continue to contribute your wonderful work.
Hi there. I am pleased still to be making a little impact here and there. Currently not filming but might resume in the future. Thank you for watching 🙏
Truly a great week Mick, thanks for sharing, ready to do it again
This reminds me of the nature documentairies that my dad sometimes watches. Incredibly facinating and well narrated. I am glad to see that you are active on UA-cam again.❤
Thank you very much 🙏🙏
I'm a simple man, I see that Mick posted a video, I watch the video.
Thank you 🙏
@MickGrewcock my pleasure sir! Your skills with video, narration, and editing are absolutely stunning!
@littlemanphil7905 Thank you again 🙏🙏🙏🙏
