This is the series Wild Food, by Ray Mears. You can find more great videos of Ray Mears at / @thepricer1430

[@1212zeek1212]

Is there anyone in the U.S. with a very similar approach as Mears? Mears is very well spoken and informative. I love watching his videos. I want someone to watch who talks about the history of the U.S. indigenous people. The tools and techniques used. What their life was like. Things like that.

[@1212zeek1212]

Thank you!

[@AroukSpondaik]

Wonderful video....Mr.Ray Mears is now more wise with that huge jump into the roots of human civilization...not only surviving aspects.Nowadays,its very rare to see such efforts,in modern west way of life!Thank you.

[@howardvarley8795]

Hang on!! Am I missing something here? The Aborigines soaked the Yam root in a running RIVER! In - Australia?? Not the Outback then?

[@stratag778]

WE NEED GORDON BACK! he is a legend

[@katanaburner]

Agreed. Though I'm not sure if he'll be coming back anytime soon. Gordon suffers from Parkinson's disease and has gotten far worse since this filming. :(

[@Whatshappening2024]

katanaburner well he has taught taught us all alot not many people can say that.

[@bassface8580]

@@katanaburner so sad to hear. What a sweet heart of a man like. So full of knowledge too

[@TheGrizzlybear456]

ray forgets to tell us that fly agaric can also make you trip balls.

[@stephenrice4554]

I expect he needs to carry on making a living

[@dondamon356]

[@Redshift313]

WOW... those Baskets are Amazing

[@nicwbush2163]

[@BAK87]

Thanks for sharing!

There is a way to determine if the making of that fruit leather was done in the past--in archaeology it's called residue analysis. The residue of plant material can be found on the surfaces of bowls, plates, stones, and utensils. If this activity involved using stones to crush the berries (likely much more effective than mushing them with your hands) then the residue would remain on the surfaces of rocks. Further, if they had used rocks to pound the berries, then they likely used a wooden bowl or a rock surface, which also have porous surfaces. Wood is delicate, and often degrades in the archaeological record, so the chances of finding wooden bowls with the residue is slim, but not nil in the slightest. This would be an interesting thing to research.

[@imjustvibing1757]

Keep Learning! :D

[@flatbrokefrank6482]

indeed its a good hallucinogenic just don't over do it. Do we think the use of cooking in sand led to the glassmaking process?

[@rjravaz]

What is that hard fruit leather called? And can you write the recipe? Awesome Video!!

[@willhodgson7059]

+rjravaz dont know what its called, but just do what he did. Get some Hawthorne berries which are literally in every hedgerow in England and very spikey. Squeeze all the shit out and filter the bits out of it, and dry it

[@eyesdark08]

Niiiiceeee.... Thanks 4 uploading man, I really wanna trying the cow/lingon berries thingy but I can't because they don't grow in Western Australia , -.- , does anyone know what wild edible I could use as an alternative

[@guitarist710]

i want more ray mears! ı̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̸̨

[@passthebreadsauce]

Also, quite amused at the way he talks about Fly Agaric, aka, Amanita muscaria. It is a psilocybin mushroom with hallucinogenic effects, commonly called "magic mushrooms".There are very little reports of death from this type of mushroom, but classified as poisonous--likely because of psilocybin laws. It's usually associated with pine trees, but doesn't seem to be here. When dried, this mushrooms shrinks amazingly. Edible, absolutely. But you won't be doing much after lunch or dinner!

[@travismcgrath2403]

+passthebreadsauce Amanita muscaria does not contain psilocybin nor is it called the magic mushroom. Wrong species. It is an hallucinogenic but not do to to psilocybin.

[@passthebreadsauce]

Thanks for correcting me

[@andriylh1756]

23:27 fly agaric is conditionally edible, it is just a silly social taboo to not eat it. first mushroom sauce recipe in US involved this fungus. look it up

[@natureboy8187]

The crayfish's legs were moving - is this an effect of the fire? Otherwise, Ray cooked an animal alive - excruciating for the crayfish I should imagine...

[@RickyVWorld]

+Nature Boy He cut the Crayfish' spinal cord, therefor the Crayfish couldn't feel a thing

[@abaha9898]

Where is the can of beer when you placed that in the water

[@Whatshappening2024]

is ray still doing documentaries?

[@ExtremeBogom]

Jordan Lawton He does still do programmes for tv. He has always made them fairly scarcely.

[@Rennikus]

Stella acting in the anecdote lol

[@judasiscariot383]

I'm surprised that BBC even broadcast this programme, this encourages people to leave their consumerist system. And Gardener's World encourages people to grow their own food, why would the BBC show this?

[@natureboy8187]

***** yet. . .

[@MyRose911]

ray smears wears y fronts guaranteed

[@abaha9898]

I respect you, but I believe that you could be having a proper meal when filming these

[@Spinner5151]

"Spit out the stone from the berries as they contain cyanide"!

[@wonderingwildscotland2972]

Deepspin you need roughly around 80grams to do damage/death so don't worry haha.. pears walnut shells also contain the same like the saying goes "everything in moderation" :)

[@dancingecho3864]

Bruh you get cyanide in apples (I think)

[@nicholasf3452]

37:53 "no way!" Sounds like jimmy from south park!

[@ALoonwolf]

Not kosher though. Fins and scales = good fish. Sheep, goats, fowl, some other birds = good UK land meat.

Ha ha it went from Brittany to loch Ness

[@jelkel25]

Yeah, and Liverpool was the capitol city!!!!
