Ray Mears

Love Ray mears.. Great books good vids theres an interesting deadfall he makes in a youttube video entitled squirrel trap and hobo fishing.
 
I wonder why he uses a diffirent technique on the field stone.

This video comes as an extra on one of his DVDs. I have it on my home computer in better quality I can upload it if anyone here is interested.

I like that video a lot.

Especially the scenery where the hobo fishing takes plate, peace and quiet, simply beautiful.
 
Ray is excellent! I love all his t.v stuff.
He has a new series called "Ray Mears goes Walkabout" where he travels in Australia.
So far I've only watched the episode where he meets up with Les Hiddens (Bushtuckerman).
 
I like Ray Mears more than the others. I especially like the part where he catches a salmon and he fillets it with his fingers. I might have to try that when the next time I get a whole fish from the market.

what channel is he on? and time?
 
I went to watch all his episodes on vehotv. You have to download the player and the use the search feature to find all ray mears stuff. I forget which episode,but I think it the one in alaska that he does the filleting of a salmon.
 
I like Ray Mears, too. :o He combines great knowledge with good padegogical skills, so he doesn't sound like a teacher or a 'crazy' survivalist. Because of this, he is also able to be heard in the mainstream, but is not a part of it (e.g. he goes hunting - here in Germany many outdoor freaks are proud, anti-hunting vegetarians).
I'm reading his book 'Essential Bushcraft' at the moment.
