My favourite bit was when he was challenged to wrestling by some tribe or other in Africa. After reluctantly accepting, Mears (very skilled in judo) promptly wipes the floor with the tribal champion...queue awkward silences all round.
@@user-ko3tv7jl2r Brilliant! Thanks for that anecdote. I’ll have to look it up. Good old Ray! Top man, without a shred of ego flapping in the wind (unlike some survival presenters!)
My daughter (a shy child) joined the Army Cadets at 16, within weeks she came bursting out of her shell and acquired real confidence it was amazing to see, she absolutely loved it.
Same with me when I was young . I was on the Duke of Edinburgh course. I went to New Zealand, Chile, and West Africa. Made great friendshis to this day
Yes he's brilliant and I'd rather be out in the bush with him than Bear Grylls who is a complete bumbling idiot. The only thing wrong with the Duke of Edinburgh's award is the Duke of Edinburgh.
Do you remember the chap he was with who tried to make a sort of bread or hard tack from the pith of bull rushes and it went very, very grey?! Poor chap!

@@DCI-Frank-Burnside I think Nigel's points is that there can be so much focus on global climate change that not enough is focused on our local environment protections such as woodland protection and protecting fish stocks.

@@HueyLewisRocks It doesn't matter how nice and pleasant the conversation is, there is always a screeching leftist stinking up the comments section.

@@onetwo-in4mh I don't form opions from what I've 'seen and heard' because I understand the problem with our perceptions, that's you that does fucking stupid things like that. Come back when you can base conclusions on a rational basis.
Absolutely brilliant news. I've grown up with Ray's Bushcraft series and i do think he is the best at his game. A very calming charm without all the overhype that Grills lays down. Look forward to watching him very soon.
Mr Mears has been a positive influence in my life since Tracks back in the nineties, he's the only person I have traveled to listen to, and had the privilege of meeting. It warms my heart to hear that we will have the benefit of his company.
This is the only man I could welcome in Neil Oliver’s place for a week or two! Great choice! He always has something intriguing or improving or entertaining to share with the audience. He gets handsomer every year!
Ray Mears is an old school gentleman,with great morals and integrity.. something that is seriously missing in today's society. People like Ray are a dying breed.
Great to watch and Ray is spot on when he says how much influence youth organizations such as the scouts can have on the development of our young people
The comments about the Burma are interesting, people watching this may not be particularly into military history but read about the Burma campaign, it is extraordinary and about extraordinary tenacious people from Britain Nepal and India. Victory from almost certain defeat, tenacity in spades, and improvisation. I think it is the finest campaign the British ever fought anywhere. The men who fought it must never be the forgotten army.

@@psychostude great tip, I can see pictures, its not direct flame on wood, but enough proximate heat to cook the fish, I see how that would work, will try it this week with fresh fish from fishmonger.
What I like about Ray is environmentalism done the right way. He isn’t someone that has fallen for the eco-fascist propaganda but deeply cares about the world we live in.
"That generation" was indeed tough. Thank God that they were. Ray Mears, taught by his Judo Sensei has to be tough and it has rubbed off on him. Great to see him. "You're obviously quite good at it" says Nigel. lol . Lovely.

Ray is a top class human being
My daughter (a shy child) joined the Army Cadets at 16, within weeks she came bursting out of her shell and acquired real confidence it was amazing to see, she absolutely loved it.
All the cadet forces are a national treasure that is not publicised enough
Let's hope she doesn't decide to join 77th brigade.
Same with me when I was young . I was on the Duke of Edinburgh course. I went to New Zealand, Chile, and West Africa. Made great friendshis to this day
Former air cadet here. Brilliant thing, so glad I was involved - it was huge for my development
I was a child with lazy parents. I was bullied at school through not having good cloths. Army cadets we all had the same uniform. And comradeship
I love Ray Mears he is a legend.

@@truthseeker7794 I don't think there is a Duke of Edinburgh at the moment, but I will be happy to be corrected.
@@frankie7529 Thats ok, we don't need one.
A real Englishman 👍
Ray Mears is a truly interesting, knowledgeable and very modest gentleman.
It would be good to see him on more often
A true gentleman
Another great guest, well done GB news from Spain.
GB News, with the addition of the great Ray Mears you've won another regular viewer. Keep up the good work Mr Farage
Bottoms up 🍻🥂🍺 to every Brit watching this. Greetings from Casablanca Morocco
Ray Mears top man.
love ray mears, show he did about foraging in britain was brilliant
Do you remember the chap he was with who tried to make a sort of bread or hard tack from the pith of bull rushes and it went very, very grey?! Poor chap!
Putting on Ray Mears. GB New is going from strength to strength.
I have always loved Ray Mears. his books are fantastic.
please can you recommend one I used to love watching him on tv
@@twinturbo5212 Essential Bushcraft and Outdoor Survival Handbook are good books to start with if you like Ray Mears.
@@fairislecat6413 Thanks much appreciated 👍
I see he’s entered the jungle of current affairs, that’s tougher than any rainforest to survive in.
Some guy Ray, pint of vodka!
That's hard drinking what a guy 👍
Its Gin!!!!
No way...Ray Mears on GBNews 🤯 I might re-subscribe. Ray would never take the knee. Good move GBNews. Looking forward to seeing more of Ray on here.
@@crispindry2815 Thanks for your input on what I know. Your comment has been proven to be invaluable to me. I shall never forget you ❤ Thank you again for coming ❤ 🙏
Ray Mears is a callback to older British tv - understated, informative, respectful. Legend
♥️ GBNews
Excellent, so glad to see Ray Mears joining GBNews, Quality fellow, has never made a bad tv programme! I will be watching!
Ray sparked my passion and love for the outdoors and how to respect the land. Hugely grateful
I like Ray a lot, though I have to say I'm baffled to see him appearing alongside Farage, a long time downplayer of climate change.

If all the people of the world was like ray what a wonderful place it would be..great respect for him
Talking Pints is always entertaining, and oftentimes educational.
Ah me favourite Bushwacker Mr Mears, Glad to see he's doing well.
Ray Mears, the GOAT on GBN. Now there’s something I won’t be missing
Ray mears total legend
Ray is so composed.
@Martin Low Eh?

Ray was and will always be one of my heros. His shows have inspired me for a lifetime. Absolute legend.
Fantastic, what a treat (and a nice surprise too).
Ray's on GB News. Amazing!

One word - Excellent
Well done Nigel for having this great bloke in GBTalking Pints tonight, he's excellent and talks sooo much common sense Paula in sussex

What a great man..
Good for you Ray

Great Interview = = Two Great Guys.
From the US: Love and Respect to Nigel, because he is such an honest man.
God bless Donald trump 🇬🇧
Do you guys watch Ray over there? If not you should, true British intelligence 👌🏻
This is the only man I could welcome in Neil Oliver’s place for a week or two! Great choice! He always has something intriguing or improving or entertaining to share with the audience. He gets handsomer every year!
He certainly scrubs up well!
Ray Mears is my hero and I love and respect him massively
That made me smile two English gentleman and a pint perfect tv 👍

BRILLIANT INTERVEIW

Ray Mears on GB news. Fantastic
Ray Mears is an old school gentleman,with great morals and integrity.. something that is seriously missing in today's society.
People like Ray are a dying breed.
Brilliant interview.
Great interview..
Ray Mears for PM
He’d introduce some climate change policies
Id vote for him in a second
He could almost pass for a politician or army officer dressed like that. Get your khakis back on lad 👌🏻
I know, more used to seeing him eating grubs with the Aboriginals!
Cheers Nigel good health Mate
Looking forward to seeing Ray on GB News
Nice to have ray on board 😃👍
2 men I respect very much, in suit and ties and talk sense, gives me hope watching interviews like this, only on GB news ❗️😊
Another excellent guest Nigel, thank you
Great to watch and Ray is spot on when he says how much influence youth organizations such as the scouts can have on the development of our young people
Wow it's been a long time since I have watched a Ray Mears documentary.
ray mears needs to be taking up attenboroughs mantel. i could listen to him all day happily
Love that interview, and Ray. 👏👏👏👏🍺🍺👍🇬🇧
Ray Mears on GBNews! What a coup. Absolutely love the guy, look forward to seeing him.
Excellent interview
Ray is a true gent and will make a great addition 👍🏻
What a great bloke!
Always; pleasantly surprised how good an interviewer Nigel Farage is - puts the opposing BBC, ITV and Sky "talent" to shame.
Informative decent conversation. Unlike kay burley etc! Where it's all about her👸
Glad you inverted commas...
@@delboy6364 That face...
@@johnturner1073 faces! She's had more touch up than a Jimmy Saville victim!
@@delboy6364 lmfao. Hey, now listen, that joke's way too dark.

Top guy ray.
When i see Mr Mears, i always think of Bob Mortimer impersonating him in his tight shorts. hahaha

My grandpa was a captain in the Lancashire fusiliers and was part of the Burma campaign
My grandad was in Burma too royal Sussex.
Another fantastic interview, raising great points, well done.
Loved his shows. I always remember that canoe that he made by hand and then sailed down the river.
Super to see Ray again, thanks Nigel
Legends 🇬🇧rule britannia 🇬🇧
Excellent chat. I have always held Ray Mears in high regard..I loved his Tracks tv series in the 90's..a gent who knows what he is talking about.
Always liked ray mears on the telly. Seems a decent guy.
Ray mears top bloke.
What a fantastic addition if only temporary to GBN. This is why the channel stands out ahead of BBC etc.
Such a smart bloke 👍
What a treat!Love Ray Mears.
I've watched most of Ray's shows overs the years, bushcraft and survival were my personal favourites, he does a mean Salmon on a grill of twigs.😛
Do the twigs not burn and dump the salmon??
He did a show with bush tucker man major Les hiddens. Absolutely brilliant watch

I love Ray, I must check his podcast out
God be with and guide you both as you walk with Him.
That interview could have been much longer. So interesting.
It almost deserves its own one hour section...
That was Brilliant, Always liked that Man
Great guests!!!!!
I like Ray.
What I like about Ray is environmentalism done the right way. He isn’t someone that has fallen for the eco-fascist propaganda but deeply cares about the world we live in.
I've been saying this for years; Bring back the bush!
oh yes
Talking Pints is superb.
Brilliant
A gentleman and a scholar
Good to hear Ray is joining the team.
"That generation" was indeed tough. Thank God that they were. Ray Mears, taught by his Judo Sensei has to be tough and it has rubbed off on him. Great to see him. "You're obviously quite good at it" says Nigel. lol . Lovely.
