I think he is from the UK (?) do a youtube search on him. He is very intresting, and seems to know his stuff on bushcraft.

I really enjoy Ray Mears episodes. Very well put together. You learn alot from this guy, not just survival or bushcraft, but also about history. Great Show. { Bush Craft }

Ray mears is just as good as Les I would say.
He's a bushcraft expert. For the past 20 years he's traveled the whole earth, every type of climate, teaching survival.
I have 3 of his works
- Bushcraft all season
- World of survival s 1-3
- Extreme Surival 1-3

yea, ray mears is unbelievable... just some of the things he can create with just a knife and axe is ridiculous. i've got both of his world of survival series.. his early on country tracks.. bushcraft season 2, and extreme survival series 3. currently under the process of dling 10g worth of ray mears programming. quality stuff.

Torrents, I made my own DVD off the files I got. you cant order ray mears stuff ebcause its in PAL formate when we need NTSC (I think thats what it is).
So yeah, I called them and they told me they would work onlyy on something like a PS2, but no dvd players unless they can play PAL.
So I just downloaded it all.

LOL!!!!
Do you remember when I posted links to those torrents a few years ago and suggested the same thing - that they weren't avialable in the NTSC but available via torrent?...lol - you and BB bashed me for it.... tsk. Yah, Good stuff. I'd gladly pay for the DVDs - they're great! I've sent emails to the Mears site requesting the same, never recieved a reply... |
Haha, torrents are awesome, why not save money here and there? I wanted to buy his dvds but yeah he didnt have the proper formate, so I just downloaded em
