neat trick

Hi Ray, check out a song called Electric Worry by a band called Clutch. If that's not you playing harmonica, I'll eat my mosquito netting.

Seriously are people actually going to be buying that kit just for a knife ?

Such a useful plant, the nettle. You can also: Make tea and soup from leaves Use seeds as food supplement Use roots as dye Use whole plant as mulch and plant food Detect nitrogen-rich soil by nettle presence Just leave it as a food source for wildlife - especially peacock butterfly caterpillars.

In rougher circumstances, you can make bread on a stick. Baking powder instead of yeast, slightly less water for a stickier (see what I did there) dough. Make it stick like a cap on the top of your stick (~2cm in diameter), and turn it over hot embers.

Hi ray…. Make me, poor Italian boy, a surprise: send me one of your knives. I grew with your videos: I think I deserve it! ;-)

I missed you til now. Will start watching the videos you made. An option for the old reliable buck saw is available today. The wood that we cut for bushcraft work doesn’t need a large, heavy saw. We’re pretty much cutting something of arm thickness or less. Pruning is the type of cutting we do. A folding pruning saw is lighter, and is quicker to set to work. I use a Corona saw with a 10” blade. That will cut a log of 20” diameter. About 16” larger than needed. Coronavirus “hollow grinds” the ends of the teeth. The entire saw is just a support system for those teeth tips. All saws share that characteristic. The tips of the teeth are the sole reason for all the rest of the saw. I sought out the best teeth tips. And, there are several other brands out there too. Courtesy of Half Vast Flying

just seen thre last 3 episodes here... how to make fire, how to make cordage, how to make bread..... skills were going to be needing soon......aye?

I just subscribed and liked! Great content and channel. Any chance of maybe doing a product review on our New Firestarters?

I miss those times of coming home from school, switching on the discovery channel and anxiously waiting for your show to come on, wondering what I might learn this time around.

Why have we never seen Ray catch and kill wildlife for food?

When are you coming back to bbc2??

Che tipo di legno e'??

If the world is falling apart, my bet is on Ray to continue , his knowledge is beyond anything.

Grey Owl was a sniper with the Black Watch in WW1. Perhaps he took to the woods to escape reality and forget the horrors of war. But he was a fake passing himself as a Native Person.

Best channel and only 480p... Please, Ray!

Didnt look like a compromised case of field sharpening to me from any angle.

I have to bring 3 sharpening stones with me when I go camping?

Ray is the OG

Modern day hammock rigging is so… modern, and expensive. Ray has a ring with tape through the hammock to gather it together and a single tape to tie it to the tree. Boom. Done. Makes so much more sense.

Go ed Ray! Preach boss 🙏 I do love the idea of him doing in the crews vehicle windows on every expedition 😂😂😂

When you bring Japanese knife sharpening water stones to camp for your axe you've crossed the line. 😅

What lengths are those?

"And you could split it further if you wanted to be obsessive about it." 😅 Okay, boss. Cheers.

You guys should reupload a lot of these older videos in a better quality. Too bad that the only way to see Ray Mears is in a terrible resolution.

Back in the sixties when the earth was warmer we used to put the dough in a biscuit tin bury it in the ground go out for the day and when we got back we had a really tasty loaf

My dad 💪💪💪😊

I think Ray would do well on KZbin if he taught things on here.

So soothing makwee me sleep tha sharpens of the knife

great work

What a legend.

Anyone know what the wider pot model is?

You must love Jehovah your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. You must love your neighbor as yourself. Jesus the Anointed is Lord! Repent and be baptized and believe the Evangelism.

I always got stuck with the fire watch job. Cooking I left to others😢

It is nice to see a military man discussing outdoors things😢

Not mentioned here but very important to "Get the hang of it" before venturing out from 0 experience.

Excellent Video! Not quite what My GrandFather would have done, exactly but VERY CLOSE! He was a professional lumberjack and it was amazing to watch and listen to him describe the right and wrong ways to use an axe. THANK YOU for this post!

I saw him in school he visted

Instead of using the chemical industry's glue in the wild, you could (and should) have used resin as a natural glue. Would fit much better with the whole piece. Chemical glue and all unnatural products used for bushcraft (even when it's survival, where you need to make the best of what you have on hand and use whatever you can) always leave me with this bad aftertaste of cheating when I see things like this. But granted it would have worked without any glue, but it makes me wonder even more why you end up ruining it with industrial chemical products. I wouldn't pay for it if you sold it and admitted you used glue to make it last longer. Then I can just buy the whole thing from the manufacturers. They also make "natural" products.

Please Ray, make some more content. A whole generation hasn't a clue who the great Ray Mears is. My 30yr old sons still remember you with great fondness and they still have a book or two of yours. One is in the army and still views you as the king of survival tactics.

Can any of you recognise Ray jacket? I love how long it is.

That's basically the human equivalent of bird nest building. Well done.

Be sure not to waste the leaves! They make for a lovely green vegetable dish when blanched in water. Lovely lemony spinach flavour.

Ray Mears, my friend, you have sculpted me since childhood in such beautiful ways, truly thank you. Your love for bushcraft and the natural world is so inspiring, and your calm and considerate demeanor speaks volumes in this loud world! God bless you Ray Mears!!! ❤️🙏🏼

Being an Australia with significant exposure travelling in remote areas and with professional experience in environmental and heritage protection I was very sceptical about Ray MEARS and how he could produce a documentary of this type but he has proven that the series is very good, easy to watch snd informative. He is humble and respects the country, the indigenous people in a non-condescending way and has a lot of passion for our country. Good job.

Stunning, but could I make the glue as well?

Ray is nuke proof

Could you not make glue from birch bark tar, Ray?

What kind of oil, Ray?

Oh...such LOVELY CALM MUSIC! The insane jangling that accompanies most videos is enough to break anybody's head!
