Lofty is the GOAT

[@MrTracker614]

A Legend. Thank you Lofty. You were on the Staff, of my Selection. Got your book. Got your Painting. Massive respect. Stay safe buddy.

I listen to this man and then read some of the comments, and I feel bad for people. Trolling and opinion have become too unnecessary and ridiculous to carry on. This is a guy who has been trained by one of the most effective and specialist military units ever to have been created. The bloody SAS! He has spent time with tribal people and learned to survive using primitive techniques, he has been in war zones and had to survive in a conflict situation using modern military techniques; and he speaks from the heart. He is not a 'face', nor is he a 'rugged adventurer', he is simply a man who displays at every opportunity how much he loves what he does. He has no TV affiliation, or sponsor that I am aware of and yet he promotes his company by spending his time giving the average person information you would not get without formal training. I am sure he charges for his appearances, I am sure his company makes money, but so what? Does that make his passion and joy less credible? Does that mean that what he is selling is worthless? Wake up for your own sakes and stop bickering. He is far more authentic and passionate than either BG or RM and will, in the minds of those who take survival seriously, retain his number one status.

Alan James People don't listen or even really read through any more, they hear 2/3 keywords they can hang their ''hobby horse'' on and off they go, they also think you're the same so try and slip their rubbish past you, ultimately, you waste time refuting their badly read ''opinion'' and there is so much envy and petty one upmanship, you'd think Lofty would be beyond their scope with all he's achieved but No!!! Incredible and a bit sad.

[@abefroman8202]

He is a legend.

[@simonwinwood]

So well said. Thanks.

[@PibrochPonder]

Every troll would listen to him very carefully if they were trapped in the wilderness

[@rickydepledge3245]

That brings back memories. Such knowledge. Funny guy. Brilliant.❤

[@samshuijzen]

Nearly 30 years ago his book , the S.A.S survival handbook was my bible.

[@djtodd972]

Ive had a copy of his book for years and have learned much from it..james lofty wiseman is a legend in the s.a.s..in britain and known even here in the states..i have much respect for the man..

[@MancsGonewild]

Absolute legend of a guy 😎👊🏻

[@mikerilling6515]

Wikipedia lists 119 poisonous fungi species so yes Lofty knows exactly what he’s talking about

[@KTCobra]

Thanks for posting this. Wiseman is definitely one of the best in the world on the subject of survival.

[@marionshipley857]

Just found your talk this morning while having my morning coffee in cape verde looking out of the window I see a coconut tree but will give it a miss, will have boild egg instead. All the best lofty Geordie . S

[@allanmoore4594]

I HAVE LISTENED TO SCORES OF PEOPLE ABOUT SURVIVAL IN THE WILD,BUT THIS MAN IS IN A CLASS OF HIS OWN. HE IS A WALKING ENCYCLOPEDIA ON SURVIVAL AND BUSH CRAFT.

[@brikfiend]

Brilliant ! Got bitten by a squirrel when I was about 10 . It stood perfectly still as I approached it ,me thinking I was going to stroke it . ( like a fool ) When I reached out , in a flash it ripped my wrist open with razor like claws narrowly missing my artery ! It just stood there , laughed and watched me bleed . This man has been there ,seen it and done .

[@happywednesday6741]

Lmao

[@Ivanat0r]

He is not only a good teacher but entertaining as well... He gives a lot of very useful information. You just have to listen.

[@eclectic_gamer]

What a legend what else can you say great sense of humour too that can be so important when things go to hell. In the end All knowledge ultimately means self knowledge, most limits only exist in our own minds... people like lofty can teach us a lot

[@campervanman5340]

Mesmerising.

[@amrasurvival5580]

Thanks for sharing

[@mrfixit2788]

Remarkable knowledgeable, still!

[@mryellow123]

re: death cap mushroom. Recent event in Australia (new-years lunch 2012) Chinese chef had a home-country "rule" in his heads "If it has white gills the mushroom is edible". Thought it was a straw mushroom or something. Was making a private "fresh" meal for staff. 2 dead, chef and kitchen hand, 1 hospitalised.

[@jm-nv5bl]

This is such a funny guy

[@romeo9017]

Respect - kicks the life of Grylls, Middleton and the like into touch...

[@Ivanat0r]

Who should we listen to?... This man is an eminence in survival.

[@davidsmith2356]

In the SAS before they started wearing makeup, its because of guys like Lofty that I thought I’d have no chance on selection.....

[@PICLex]

People make weird comments here. Thank's for sharing the vid.

[@McMelcherr]

dude, thats why he sais if u dont know for sure.. leave it. he said it like 10 times

[@abefroman8202]

I think Lofty was thirsty!

[@pd565]

Sir lofty........ And if you do not think so come see me we will talk .

[@gocrazy336]

I getvit

[@donrounds7791]

I hope I never have to pick mushrooms.

[@christopherellis2663]

Sundried worms! Perky jerky,

[@RottiDog100]

This guy should be a comedian.

[@sigma3survivalschool]

There are many poisonous fungi. Wouldn't follow that advice. Can't believe he said that!

[@mikerilling6515]

Wikipedia lists 119 poisonous fungi species so what are you on about?

[@thirteenfingers]

"In plant protein the best, soya has only got six" Sorry Lofty, you're mistaken. HEMP not only contains the full profile of essential amino acids, it contains them in the correct ratios for a healthy human diet too. Not exactly an abundance of that in the countryside, but then again, there's not exactly an abundance of soya out there either.

[@humphreyaugustus2932]

No bullshit.

[@pd565]

there is only one............lofty...........

[@andrewdeacon6978]

well from your comment i see that you didnt listen to what he actually said which was a lot of good advice and some humor to keep the audience engaged you also think that he is not a hard man? an ex-paratrooper and ex Sargent major in the sas and that is not hard for you? who is in your book then?

[@jtm771]

very bad advice DO NOT LISTEN TO THIS MAN HE WILL PUT YOU IN HOSPITAL

[@Enderwiggan1]

More concerned with getting laughs than actually teaching anything

[@christopherellis2663]

While you, of course, are the renowned expert?

[@finlaybeaton2124]

Did you actually listen. He taught a lot and threw in a few jokes to keep people in, good presentation style
