Ray Mears ....
Goes walkabout (in his car?). 1st of 4 episodes last night .
Gave some awsome shots of the outback ,very good me thinks! |
Re: Ray Mears ....
i love his bushcraft programmes.
also some great tips for people going on outback adventures:thumbup: |
Re: Ray Mears ....
Great programme, my sort of walkabout in a 4x4:thumbsup:
|
Re: Ray Mears ....
I love watching his programs...though one thing gets me....
For someone who tells us how to survive on nuts and berries in the wilderness, he is one fat bastard. I bet he knows where every mcdonalds and 24hr garage is on this planet :rofl: |
Re: Ray Mears ....
Ray Mears should bow at the feet of the "Original Bushtucker Man", Les the Old Aussie Army Major, now he was Outback!!
|
Re: Ray Mears ....
Ray Mears is good and knows his stuff. But for me Bear Grylls is the master
|
Re: Ray Mears ....
His name says it all, plus he is no Lofty Wiseman

Re: Ray Mears ....
Bear Grylls is THE KING:eek::thumbup::eek:
we have bear days where we go to the forest and make little shelters , even tried some pine needles that worryingly mad our mouths go numb:huh: all hail Bear:thumbsup::thumbsup: |
Re: Ray Mears ....
we watched it - mianly cos there was nowt else on - seen his progs before, thought this one was pretty good. was nice to see something different about australia for a change, theres only so much crocodile hunter, new life down under and ian wright you can watch several times before going off australia for good!!
thought it was good for the history too ... was factual rather than flippant and you can see he had a real admiration for Stuart. :thumbsup: |

Sunday 1st June, BBC2 8pm (repeated Monday 2nd June BBC2 7pm and on IPlayer) Britain's foremost survival expert, Ray Mears, goes walkabout in Australia in his new series for BBC Two. Ray Mears sets out on his second of four journeys through the wilderness of the Australian Outback. Ray Mears and "Bush-Tucker Man" Les Hiddins meet in this second episode in the series. The pair appear to have much in common, not least their love of the wilderness and indigenous people and their contributions to Bush craft. Ray and Les take a trip across Les's home state of Queensland. Their journey starts in the jungle of the East Coast – full of "tucker" – slang for food – strange dinosaur-like nests and plants that leave a sting like no other. Here, Ray sleeps in a "swag" rather than his usual jungle hammock and shows how the buttresses of the local trees provide an opportunity for impromptu Bush craft. Ray and Les visit Cape Tribulation on their way to Cooktown and tell of Captain Cook's journey up this coast. As they journey, Ray and Les find that they have similar views on many things. Heading inland, they take a draining drive across the unchanging terrain of Queensland. Finally, Ray and Les reach the crash site of Second World War bomber Little Eva. The site, which can only be reached via helicopter, symbolises how and why Les first became interested in Bush tucker. |

Re: Ray Mears ....
Watched Ray tonight, did Queensland (well, the North). Very good. Not dwelling on the obvious spiders, crocs, sharks and everything else that can kill a fella. Just an honest bush tucker experience and appreciation of the history of the area.
Good reference to an aussie read that I will look up "whispering wind". (Not to be confused with whispering grass which I imagine will be something entirely different!!). |
Re: Ray Mears ....
les hiddins aka the bush tucker man, what a great character:thumbup:

Re: Ray Mears ....
Last night's ......................................
Ray eating fish on water crackers with the Monkey's 'feelin groovy' playing in the background:blink::blink::blink: yep he was REALLY roughing it :thumbdown: bring back Bear :thumbsup::thumbsup: |

There was one show where he helped a couple of wannabes try and join the french foreign legion. The crap they went through was unbeleivable, and Bear just walked through it like it was normal routine,and helped the others. So I don't think he is some faker, he is a tough guy, and he gets advice from various experts from each region he visits when he does a programme, and then he presents it in a dramatic way. Whats the problem? JTL (no I'm not gay and I don't have the hots for Bear) Nice arse though...:p |
Re: Ray Mears ....
Ray Mears is a right nancy compared to Bear Grylls.
Bear has climbed in a camel, drank water from elephant poo, and eaten a live fish:eek: not to mention loads oof other gross stuff. Ray Mears likes to cook his fish and cover it in berries! oooh la la. |

Boring Girls is an utter ponce, pissing on his hands to keep himself alive in the mountains, and eating raw ****ing fish.... Who the crap does he think he is? Golem? Ray may have his faults, but the king of Survival LH absolutely loves Ray, and that is enough of an endorsement for me. That and the fact one of my mates used to work for him running courses here in the UK, and he still worships Ray. |
