If the SAS ask Ray to help them well say no more this man should be Sir Ray shame the royals can't see what we the nation can . More documentary please Sir Ray .
I'm amazed this guy asked Ray if he could light a fire 🔥 without flint. Ray has used friction fire lighting about a dozen times across his shows. It's his most well known bushcraft skill.
I hadn't heard of the Lammergeier bird Ray mentioned he'd tracked in France. Seems like it is a fascinating creature alright. It's a large bearded vulture whose diet consists almost exclusively of bone. They even bathe in sulfur springs rich with iron oxide, which colours their shoulders, necks, and chests red. Some bird!
I love watching Ray Mears' programmes and have done so for years. However, when watching this video my young nephew asked, "Uncle Bertie. If Ray is always outdoors living off grubs and worms and things... Why is he so chubby?"
That’s because bushcraft isn’t supposed to be physically challenging. You are thriving off the land, not fasting for weeks on end because you do not have the knowledge to make implements to simplify the search for edibles and make conditions more tolerable. But I’m sure you knew that, and yeah, I agree with your nephew, I guess he is a bit overweight for a person that basically lives outdoors, no offense to Ray Mears.
Between you and me, sometimes I think that when you see Ray camping out in the wilderness, if you turn the camera through 180 degrees there will always be a McDonalds.
Firstly Ray doesn’t live mostly outdoors he has a house.Every meal he has doesn’t involve creating fire he has a cooker in his kitchen,sometimes maybe he phones for a takeaway not by rubbing two sticks together until he can send smoke signals to his local Chinese/Indian or whatever.Just a normal guy I think he’d agree.
This tragic radio, dj ! Can you make fire without a knife ? Fire was known to humanity way before even flint knives Don't get me started on Tragic's "music" either, lol
The interviewer couldn't be less interested.it was like asking cheri Blair to do a charity speech without paying her. I quite like Ray mears as he seems down to earth although I'm not interested in survival methods in South Africa what he does in the uk is relevant & interesting..bear grills is a bit American for me but I suppose he has to cater for the American bushcraft community that like knives like swords & at least 4 types of gun to go camping...yup ye all nodice I keeps me bazooka by my hammock in case I sees a rabbit invadin ma camp...& this guun is for splittin woood
Some hickory nuts are excellent. Generally the big oval egg shaped with the husk still on are good. If the nuts are smaller and flatter, they may be one of the bitter species. Not poisonous at all. Nuts is too imprecise a term. And the world is too big a place. In North America and in Europe, you have walnuts, hazelnuts, chestnuts, pecans, almonds, hickories, black walnuts, and beech nuts. Pine nuts or pignoli are also edible, as are acorns. You would not want to eat horse chestnuts or nickerbeans or many other things you could find.
One travels around the world (on the Funding of others) , picking up survival tips and tricks, makes a celebrity following and profit ,..from the people whom live daily in the bush using Ancestoral seasonal survival techniques , to succeed in living in the bush....Who truly is the expert and where does Ray Mears stand in these two groups. Who Creates and maintains the "label of EXPERT" to the masses?
Wilderness living is where it's at. If you know how to live in the bush, there's no such thing as "survival". It's just shitty camping! Kelly Harelton is the real thing!
Ray is the Man...right on
Love Ray he is a legend
Ray is a legend and an inspiration for all of us that love the outdoors.
Agree totally,hes a very knowledgeable guy
Much respect for this man👍 The fantastic Ray Mears!
I was blessed to listen to Ray speak live at Cheltenham Town Hall years a go.
that's the most satisfactory definition of bushcraft i've ever heard
Whaatttt!!
Ray mears great guy real hero
And I went to see Ray at Shrewsbury, first night of the tour, and last year saw him lighting fires on stage at Malvern, Such a great guy
Wow! I wish i've seen him irl
Like watching His videos so interesting and full of knowledge.
My hero- and we're both from Kenley and we're both salad dodgers. The woodland at the end of Old Lodge Lane was my stomping ground.
Ray please bring your program back! Please! Where can I get quality DVD of old episodes?
PCL Outdoors & Bushcraft ebay? Amazon?
Ray is a great nature man!
If the SAS ask Ray to help them well say no more this man should be Sir Ray shame the royals can't see what we the nation can . More documentary please Sir Ray .
Love this guy.
Yeah, the D.J.'s great isn't he? 1 thing wrong: he didn't play ,' Cuddly toy' & then, ' You ain't seen nothing yet'.
I'm amazed this guy asked Ray if he could light a fire 🔥 without flint. Ray has used friction fire lighting about a dozen times across his shows. It's his most well known bushcraft skill.
I love him...
Really pleased that even R.M cant define the difference between bushcraft and survival so that we all can understand it.
Les Stroud (Survivorman) does.
Much much much love to Mr. Mears. He is everything.
Ray, please do one of your shows in Blackpool. I would die happy!!!!
A think ray would struggle in Blackpool mind
I think Ray is the best around to be sure. He is such a natural and the out doors is certainly a place where he belongs

Ray is a pure 'Gentleman' in the best sence of the term.....
The 'intreviewer' is a wally...
Yes, Aussie is made for the outdoors man. That's why we live here.
Ray is the best in the world , respect him please or you die
Q. would you go on i'm a celebrity GMOH ...A. no ! sure it's not even a real forest, Ray is the man !
This is insulting to Ray. But alas, he is a humble man.
👆
Ray should have a knighthood ... end of
He really should.
Knighthoods are literally meaningless. I even think someone like Ray would also see how meaningless they are
@@jackbudgen8858 he could use his medal as an arrow head if he’s marooned on the M25, always thinking Ray.
He has made some great videos

Well, that explains why he put on so much weight!

My nephew is 9 years old Paul. However you have just displayed two things to him. Intolerance and a lack of humour. Well done.
This tragic radio, dj !
Can you make fire without a knife ?
Fire was known to humanity way before even flint knives
Don't get me started on Tragic's "music" either, lol
Why do you dislike magic to the point where you will make two comments based on it?
Who is this Dj, why ask a question if you're not gonna listen to the answer and engage with the guest.
"what is bushcraft?"
Snaith showing the typical respect for the listening demographic there
The interviewer couldn't be less interested.it was like asking cheri Blair to do a charity speech without paying her.

'This guun is for splittin wood' - I burst out laughing.
Take it easy Diver Dan, we Yanks are usually happy with just one gun! LOL
Lofty wiseman all the way 😁
hey ray some told that you can eat wild hickory nuts is that true or will die because poisons? what all nuts are ok to eat?
Some hickory nuts are excellent. Generally the big oval egg shaped with the husk still on are good. If the nuts are smaller and flatter, they may be one of the bitter species. Not poisonous at all.

He's in Shrewsbury?! Damn, only two years too late...
Yes, Ray, a Expert is a drip under pressure, something your not ..
Doesn't Ralph Lauren come in kahki?
Pasquale he fashioned that t shirt from nettles and a fewdried leaves

Should have been a nice interview but the host seems to be a bit thick.
Yes. Ray is the one and only🤗🤗🤗. Dj was a stupid dott
Classic example of gentlemen guest ineffective and disrespectful host, Alan partridge ????

Ledge

Ray meats buys his tools at screwfix
