Bushcraft and survival legend Ray Mears looks at how accurately survivalism is portrayed in popular film and TV shows. You can order his new book, We Are Nature, here: amzn.to/3w1i54U
In We Are Nature Ray takes us on his own lifetime's journey through the natural world, into the British countryside and across continents, and shows us how to tune our senses, enhance our experience of nature, and understand our place within it.
Guiding us through practical fieldcraft tips, Ray brings us up close with creatures we share our planet with, and reveals how we can learn from them, from the stealth of the leopard to the patience and stillness of the crocodile, and even the colour-changing camouflage of the octopus.
With Ray as your companion, you will unlock the hidden secrets of the wild and begin to see, instead of merely look.

He always speaks to local tribes and local woodsmen to get that all important local knowledge. He is very obviously not ego driven and has a genuine respect for the surroundings he finds himself in.

I believe it's because his character with a love for the wild outdoors let him experience the adventure most strongly, thus his remembrance of those.

Your point about bear's eyes is spot on. At one time at Whipsnade Zoo, the bears were in a very large enclosure which was being repaired. There was one section where you could get closer to the side fence than usual. I was standing there when a large Eurasian Brown she bear came to the bars. She sat down comfortably, leaning against them (visitors were kept from the bars by a low fence.) She looked straight into my eyes. There was no anger, just curiosity. It was so much more intelligent and immediate than a dog. And you are right - her eyes were beautiful. Then, after a bit, she yawned and went to find her day-nest she had made in the bushes. A very special moment, and unusual in a zoo. And a note to anyone making bear suits for cinema etc, she was very well groomed to the point of looking freshly brushed!

Ray is a personal hero of mine! I remember watching his shows and reading one of his books that I got as a birthday present (a couple of decades ago, a book that I re-read on a semi-regular basis) it really made me enthusiastic about being out in the wild, a feeling I for some reason had lost during my teen years. I also remember watching Bear Grylls show, when it was new, and having to turn it off mid-program because mr. Grylls first off wasn't enjoying nature, only "surviving" in it and while doing so he killed a lizard or alligator, cut off a small piece of meat, which he cooked and ate, and then just left the rest of the carcass on the ground! Talk about the antithesis to Ray's philosophy! Well, I was appalled and since then I cannot bear (no pun intended) the sight of mr. Grylls! Anyway; If mr. Mears should happen upon this comment, I would like to say that he's had a big impact on my life and I (and many with me) share his philosophy! So, mr. Mears; A sincere thank you for all your hard work! Cheers from Sweden! =)

I did one of his courses, taught by one of his staff. Never met him until one rainy night when my tarp came undone and a shadow came out of the storm, retied my guy line in a second and said "You need to work on your knots." before wandering off again. Ray was my bear.

The very VERY best dude ever on TV. The guy who taught us not to try to escape the wilderness, but to become it until rescued. Learned soo much I'll hopefully never need off this guy. Wonderful.

I've had a great deal of respect for Ray Mears for over 25 years. Up until viewing this video i didn't realise that he'd also been to Idaho, which is like its own ecosystem. Idaho's on a plateau and basically 1000 meters above everything around it and is possibly one of the most breathtaking and picturesque states in The US. It's been 46+ years since my visit as a young boy from The UK, but i still recall most of the almost two and a half months our family were there visiting relatives. Incredible memories that I'll treasure for ever.

I remember Mears' programmes. They were the only ones credible. He never presented himself as the expert but always respectfully asked local people how they managed to survive. He was taught their skills and occasionally Mears would contribute and show his own way of doing things. Great man, great teacher.

What a top bloke! I love the fact that he didn't score. He just picked the good things, explained why they were good and how to make it a bit better. A personal story, to make it more relatable. Go to nature, accept the stench, stop talking, and live for the moment.

Of all 'The Revenant' clips to show Ray, I would have loved to see his reaction to the native american building that amazing healing shelter for Leos character out of the material around them and with the hot boulders. That was a really amazing survivalist skill.

I can relate to the Grizzly attack. Some years ago whilst on a hike in the woods, I was confronted. I made the schoolboy error of looking into the eyes and the result wasn’t pretty. Luckily the Shih Tzu’s owner was on hand and restrained the little bastard before I was completely overwhelmed.
