I live in Torquay. Despite having beautiful coastline, Dartmoor is the place to spend every free Saturday. The widerness, the landscape is just extraordinary. And that magic you feel. Knowing that somewhere, many many years ago this place was full of people, who worked and lived in this harsh enviroment. From bronze era, through middle ages and very recent granite quarries of XIX century. Traces of this people you still find in Dartmoor. It is very, very special place.

You can tell that Ray eats to many takeaways. He has such soft and chubby hands for a man of the Bush. 😲

God I love ray me.

Dartmoor looks very tame to be honest, could survive there by just going to a shop

The climate changed: it became colder and wetter. Imagine that.

We're supposedly going into a Grand Solar Minimum (Forbes article 2020), like the little Ice Age of the middle ages. That killed a LOT of people due to famines (esp. Great European famine of 1315) and inability to ripen crops, dry hay etc. It is supposed to last at least for the next 60 years or so. Combine that with the fact that the British govt have now officially admitted that they have been spraying aerosols to deflect solar heat in an effort to curb "climate change". Add covid scam on top of that, where farms are now being shut down on top of already disastrous growing seasons (cold & rain) in the Northern Hemisphere and you would not be wrong in saying: "WINTER IS COMING".

Apart from Ray being so wonderfully articulate, knowledgeable and blessedly modest, I love that he ALWAYS DRESSES in EARTH colours. He blends in so nicely every time I see him, like he is part of the landscape itself. No OTT army camo either, just simple earth colours of greens, browns and greys, respecting the landscape and Nature's abode all around him; not being an eye sore to any looking his way from a distance.

At 14:13 Bronze Age settlements; these could also have been temporary 'sheilings' (as they are called in Scotland) or summer grazings. By the time of the Bronze Age, settlements would have been quite significant and developed and settled. The 'huts' look relatively small for entire families to live in for long periods and were perhaps lived in by shepherds or people guarding the cattle during summer grazings etc. When the seasons changed they moved the cattle, sheep elsewhere and so forth.

Wonderful 👏👏👏

Miracle of nature is Gods creation

This England

Ray Mears is an Amazing, Kind, Considerate, Well travelled Man with a Hunger for Information about Landscapes of the World! For these reasons, along with his Immense Knowledge of Nature’s Wonders/How to survive off the Land, is why he teaches the UK Special Forces parts of their ‘Combat Survival’ Course. Good Skills Ray!! 👍🏼👍🏼

Hound of Basketwille

Wish he'd make more..

I like it😁😀

..........Great program , Ray........you show us England in a light that I have rarely seen before. Please continue to do so.............

15:32 - Apparently global cooling was as bad 3000 years ago as global warming it is today.

I love all this and all your work and everything about it etc etc, but I believe our history is supressed and we've not been told exactly everything over the course of history. Look at the size of those granite boulders man! Seems a hell of a lot of effort to quarry and transport rocks that size to use as a wall for cattle? Must have took years going off the amount of huts, estimated from presumptuous life possibly have lived there, from god knows where they got it from, probably would get an answer if searched local area and quarrying etec, lol think about it. Always had the "answer" rammed down my throat where I'm from, holyhead, old hut circles n stuff etc etc, the answer is only as good as the evidence the theory you can base the answer in in the first place. So theoretically there is no true answer without countless dead certain archeological find which can only back up a theory but never lead to a certain hypothesis. This shit is up for debate and always will be. Which is what is amazing about it lol

9:57 That scared the shit out of me. It sounded like the Howl from American Werewolf in London. The most frightening fucking sound ever

8:58 "I'm hooked on things you can eat". Yes, Ray. We call it FOOD. We're all somewhat addicted.

Awesome! This looks very familiar, where is this?

Excellent program. Really admire Ray and his work.

i fly Typhoon h+ but would love to know more your of your set up.. spent a long time in that part of the country in my youth (ex-military) but bring my family back as often as I can and also meet up with my old mates

Loved this footage... there in June, you have given me some starting points to play thank you.

He could have become a tor to tor salesman.

nice one petetee!!

Dartmoor is the place I have finally chosen to hide all the bodies

Thanks for uploading. You have to admire Ray's passion for nature, it's a pleasure to see the world through his eyes.

great quality, thanks for the video!

Did you hear the wild howls of the Baskerville hound! (joke) . I´d just LOVE to know that landscape.

Fail!!!!! Yes tor is higher. What's he on about

Why the music??? Can't it be natural? Oh wait this isn't natural. I'm not judging but come on.

Simply enjoyable. Yeah an 8 gram African flyer. Amazing!

Very nice footage and flying. Such a great bird the Bebop 2. Just subscribed to your channel. Thanks ✈️😊

right on my doorstep, beautiful 🌹

I am totally surprised that Ray Mears is walking on high rocks with his HANDS IN HIS POCKETS. #1 Rule when walking anywhere, NEVER EVER PLACE BOTH HANDS IN YOUR POCKETS. If you fall, there is no time to take your hands our and your face is MINCED MEAT...and most likely your teeth too. A very dangerous practice.

There's something so magical about Dartmoor - I have done a little wild camping and walking there which I have made videos of on my channel. Love the place.

I just want to see Dartmoor fully rewilded. Key species should be reintroduced & farmers finally backing off & removing the sheep from these moorlands. There's no profit from keeping them here, so it is nonsensical. Same goes for the Dartmoor Ponies in all honesty. Keep them in certain areas to stop them from overgrazing. The native woods will then begin to return & that is far more important than anything else that's currently there..Allow nature back. That is the 21st century way of helping nature in our horrifically depleted UK landscapes...

I was born in Plymouth and have lived here 30 years. Dartmoor is in my veins. Beautiful and haunting landscape.
