Ray soothes my soul. He's the Attenborough of survival.

[@johnandrews5287]

"fascinating!" "fantastic!" I love the way Mears' commentary makes everything seem more fascinating than it really is... "lovely" "smashing" "brilliant" "spectacular"... Mears,.. although being an adult schoolboy type,.. is a good commentator and draws you right in. I've learned a lot from this guy about the place I grew up in.. Canada.

the forest holds many secrets having a good memory is primordial

Gah, I'd love to spend some time in the bush with Ray, he's literally my idol, and i aspire to be like him in the near future!

[@michaelchambers6392]

good tips and good learnig from him

[@neilg1981]

At 6.22 he says can't prove as ground does not leave much sign. I met a bushmans son in SA called xhe who could tell the story if it was on concrete. He is modernized and is now a detective for forensic dept. Truly a great man

[@robmochdre]

I love how ray has shoehorned all his favourite words in this vid : Beautiful x4 Fascinating x3 Fantastic x 2 Interesting x 2 Gorgeous Spectacular Lovely Intense Exited Exiting There all here in this one , you will never watch ray again with out noticing his overuse of superlatives

Love this one!...can you tell me what rucksack Ray is wearing there please? Thanks for posting these! Jim

[@armpitfuzz]

So a naked bird is running around in the woods !

[@jordanr1504]

Is that a Duluth rambler backpack is that rays using? Much Appreciated

[@Earth098]

Glad u came to Canada. Which part of Canada is this? Are there any other programs which u've done in Canada?

[@danrush88]

interested in what would happen to the ants nest after been hit by woodpecker do they make a new nest or repair?

[@micalight]

what brand of jacket?

[@ShawDAMAN]

@tidalpoolreflection precisely ;)

[@GetUrPhil]

Where abouts are you in Canada in this video?

[@mountainmaxxxsurvival9377]

What’s the rucksack you are carrying?

[@RayMearsWoodloreLtd1983]

It is a Duluth Pack, made in the USA

[@mantrop]

All true.

[@lorenaplazalopez2749]

answers?

[@turdferguson74]

How does the wood pecker know there are ants in the tree ?

[@unclesilas2905]

Some things are on a need to know basis

[@dylanlewis9349]

Are bunch berries edible?

[@rosco1peco]

+Dylan Lewis No, not really. They aren't poisonous from what I can recall but they have a foamy texture and a bad taste. They are classified as non-edible in all field guides I have read.

[@questconcrete]

Ross E. You're wrong! Bunch berries are quite edible. I believe you're thinking of red osier dogwood.

[@Survivalpractical]

On top of not knowing what superlatives are... He also spelled excited and exciting wrong.

[@rosco1peco]

I'm disappointed he didn't try to eat a high bush cranberry since he said they are a good fruit. They are one of the most bitter berries in the northern forest, he would have made an interesting face tasting it. My forestry instructor in college used to collect them and pass them out during class as a prank, he also said they were a nice berry lol.

[@AD-kv9kj]

Obviously he's well aware of what they taste like. There are many fruits which need to be cooked a certain way and with other ingredients before they lose their bitterness. If you need vitamins in the wilderness they are very rich.

[@neapedoff]

You forgot the best one- Itself!

[@jaidejasigne]

maybe i'm wrong (surely not, hope so lol ;) ) bears don't sharp teeth... it was to strenght the jaws black bear are scavenger when they come across bone, they break it to get the bone Inside but i have to say you teach me something new about leaves (when it stay together after tear apart) in my home country thx by the way you do great vids little short but good teaching love it

[@gary7vn]

+jaidejasigne Teeth are vastly harder than wood. A bear could rub his teeth on wood for a hundred years and nothing would happen.

[@adronias]

Detective Mears on the case.

[@toGatherThinskin]

those are adjectives.

[@robmochdre]

@steve51704000 i love ray mears steve the guy is awsome,i even went to see him do the northern wilderness live presentation do people tell you that you lack sence of humour.? end...

[@972someguy]

gosh if only i can just learn all this stuff and live in the outdoors...im really sick of living in the city.

[@strawbs083]

Ronald Mcraygun You can learn it 😊

[@eyesdark08]

North, just look at the title

[@skidooshizel]

The bird in question was a seagull, and obviously eaten by a mammal. An eagle would've eaten it in the trees, and left a single large pile of refuse at the base of the tree.

[@lukejtmulder]

Looks like a Duluth pack they are made in America, just google it.

[@JackCrawfordson]

Ray Mears doesn't do what Ray Mears does for Ray Mears. Ray Mears does what Ray Mears because Ray Mears is Ray Mears.

[@Earth098]

North?? it doesn't make any sense. North could be anywhere. what I asked was which province??

[@weefeatures]

Yeah but imagine if instead it was: Decent, Alright, Kinda Cool, So-So, Meh, Not Bad

[@ScanMan1967]

Coyote, fox, or bobcat took the fowl I'll bet.

[@GWHcraig1088]

looks like coyote got the bird. they get alot of phesants around hy area and it seems thats what happened to that bird.

[@mantrop]

Ha ha...funny comment, only I should be making it. None of the examples you cited: beautiful, fascinating, interesting etc. are superlatives. Superlatives are usually "est" adjectives like the ones I listed above. So, I don't see Ray's "overuse" of superlatives in the non-superlative examples you provided. Words like spectacular, and fantastic are much closer to the definition of hyperbole you offered. A quick read of any grammar text or site will confirm this. No need to be nasty.

[@Solocat1]

google "Where there is no dentist"

[@grimeandbud]

that's a pretty uninteresting comment with a intense undertone of fantastic im gorgeous by the way haha

[@mantrop]

Hyperbole. Superlatives = most, least, craziest, fewest

[@mantrop]

I'll concede your list of adjectives don't quite rise to the level of hyperbole. But nor are they superlatives. Your original comment was. "...his overuse of superlatives"...which is not fair, because none of the adjectives you listed are superlatives; they are just gradable adjectives. If you claimed Ray had said "the most fantastic", or "the greatest..." then we are dealing with superlatives. Listing actual superlatives might have been a better way to prove you know what they are.

Watch Les Stroud rather then this, he is so much better!
