Digging Edible Roots - Ray Mears World of Survival - BBC

[TheRealGeriBoss]

I love the click noises in their language!

[skiie]

well atleast these guys don't have to wonder which chicks in their village have the biggest tits.

[Theunknownprogram]

Bluexramorse soz I Spelt your name wrong but I think your right just saying

[saptemai]

why farm when you can dig 4hrs/day for 200 calories?

and liberals tell us these animals are our equals. ffs, the average iq in africa is 65=mild mental redardation (inb4 "but i know this one smart black person")

[bluexremorse]

@saptemai animals huh well these animals sure did do a good job of feeding there entire village. Instead of trying to denounce cultures on youtube why not shut up and stop trolling on videos completely based on them Who the fuck looks at a video about africans knowing they don't like them. i say your the real retard, i'd love to see your moronic ass jump in such an enviroment and adapt and utilize the materials around you. I wouldn't give you a week...

[iGiveWedgies]

[dinnerandashow]

@iGiveWedgies

I am surprised these people never made the leap from roots to flour to baked goods, especially considering th availability of mud, wood and honey.

[chaosc00l]

[cyannex]

[vireak209]

I bet that the african sweet patato! Must Taste! T^T

[johnny102marvin]

One of these days if the SHTF a few people will survive in the United States and they will have the opportunity to live the life of a villager. But, they will have the wreckage of the post industrial world to pillage through for tools and supplies.

[gokucrazy22]

lol when she said "ba ali," it sounded like "빨리" which means faster in korean

[hydrobot2003]

LOL! Grubs and all... ROFLMAO! I guess when you are hungry you'll eat it? But as long as there is a grocery store... I'll eat my chicken and eggs. :-)

[saharra22469]

[ngququ]

[jamianm]

I appreciate it. Thanks!

[gokucrazy22]

[globe255]

Yes and today its extreme expensive to buy a new pair of shoes if you want quality.

[VTwanderer]

HOLY SHIT!! at 1:00 someone tried to kill him with a poison dart!

[recurveninja]

[MinerAmax]

DANG UR RIGHT!

[lasse88]

@VTwanderer Haha that was really close. But ray knew it was coming, so he just sat there calm as a glass of milk.

[dhom100]

[ahoyhoy79]

[adamhully]

[TauBroadside]

[DantevKratos]

o.o HONEY!!

[BroDudeYo]

Dang I'm high as fuck and that bee hives honey look delicious

[11NACTX11]

dude i got so hungry when i saw him eat that bee hive "grubs and all". mmmm

[flintstone9812]

Notice it said, These people have never know famine.

I like the differing aspects Ray shows. Some have bad mouthed him, but I have learned considerable info from him regarding wilderness shelter construction.

[hassleandhurrylife19]

I think that's where they get their teeth so white and shiny from chewing those edible roots

[hassleandhurrylife19]

It's so unsanitary why would teh mothers chew it then give it to their kids...

[loveablemoggy]

This happens all around the world, not just for one peoples'. Traditionally in many cultures, if you had someone who'd lost their teeth due to old age, then the food would be chewed for them before hand, unless it was soft enough already.

It's not unsanitary, it's practical.

[MaxSafeheaD]

What's unsanitary about it?

I think in the west we have totally lost perspective about what is truly dangerous.

Besdes it's good to expose children to bacteria - otherwise, just like unused muscles, their immune systems will be feeble.

[aaronjoeberg]

Maxsafehead, you are required by the human race to have as many children as you can and save the world. Knock up random people, put kids up for adoption, whatever you need to spread your seed! Although some think personality is in the experiences of the beholder, so you might have to raise them all yourself. So be it, it's your duty. People with sense shall rule again!

[MaxSafeheaD]

lol, I'm willing!

[selenicmooncry]

ur right it does look a bit gross but it says in the vid they chew it to make it easier for the kids to swallow since the kids might not have strong enough teeth. and if u really think about it it's no different than a man and a woman kissing lol(sanitary wise)

[maynrdjkeenan]

If your own saliva doesn't kill you as it runs down your throat 24/7, why should anyone else's?

God, stigma these days...

[67mustangreg]

grubs and all?

[SSSavage25]

I'm curious as to how someone who is clueless about these things would survive if he/she was put in such a situation. For example, how would you know if the roots were edible or not? Is there a way to differentiate edible from non-edible plants or even animals?

[AnimaRaptor]

I assume it would be instinct at 1st, trial and error at the 2nd and passed down knowledge at the 3rd.

For a modern human, ignorant what root is what? Has to be trial and error, unless s/he can find someone to tell him/her.

[Spongyb]

This natural people are the ones keeping the planet Earth from collapsing. All our so called "civilized" lifestyles (chemical & radioactive agents, seas/oceans infested with plastics & oil spills et.c) bring is pollution & contamination and the "modern day" or "EVOLVED" people are full of greed, hate and self center. If that is evolution I want to remain with those people and live natural stressfree lifestyle.

[SSSavage25]

though I never lived in such conditions, I agree with you.

[bornradical]

ara tsibog imo nga........

[E2F83]

They should chew it and give it to Ray Mears hahaha

[na5m]

Their teeth look so clean, straight, and white. Their skin & eyes look so clear and bright. Not to mention, they look happy. Makes me want to become a village member and give up this crazy city life USA.

[blammcans]

Go for it !

I left that hellhole and moved to the jungle.

I raise over 90% of my own food and trade for the rest.

[nightshade288]

that nice to wat country ???

and wat tools did u take?

[recurveninja]

and you're on you computer leaving comments.

[rbvmtr]

@na5m eat more natural foods and cut out the chemicals cut down on store bought red meat (has chem's n nasty steriods in it ) kill your own meat . and stop eating at Micky D's fast foods are bad for ya too ! life sucks its how you choose to deal with it . I'm happy all the time and u might think my life really sucks compared to yours .

[BlakcNinja]

@na5m I could get together 15 cows for nomadic use. All I really need is a guy who trades woven baskets that can hold water for dairy.

[Thetruthishere11]

@na5m

all africans are like that. genetics. they can jump higher and faster and play better basketball too.

[killaman2881]

@na5m then you dont deserve to be an american if you want to desert ur life here for a peasants life.....

[Voctron]

@killaman2881

...and maybe you should look words up before using them.

[Severosrighthook]

@na5m diagnosis- jungle fever

[JetJockey87]

@na5m

There is a special tree that grows all over Africa. Mostly in Kenya, Ethiopia and Malawi but is popular elsewhere. A stick is taken from the tree, the bark (naturally high in fluoride) is chewed on slightly to release into the mouth to combine with saliva to provide more than adequate dental hygiene, the remaining stick is then used to brush the teeth with.

[dinnerandashow]

@na5m

Perhaps this is why Detroit is such a mess for these people.

[1Mafioso4]

the honey looked good

[thysawonn]

lunch time, i'll stick it with my kentucky fried chicken.

[zxcvbnmjfjf]

ive always wanted to try fresh honey colm or however you spell it

[MaxSafeheaD]

*comb

[lunaehmaz]

They are a very beautiful people. The reporter looked so scrubby next to them haha

[TheSecretSword]

Click, click clacketty clack umm maubooabba click clack

[nirl82]

CMAO!!!:)

Clacking My Ass Off:)

[Mirobe55]

pre chewed food!

[iceninja86]

Wow that is some nice honey!

[thaiguysabu]

for an area like that, honey, grubs and all, would be an outstanding snack. think about it. there's carbohydrates, fats, and protein. after watching hours of bizarre foods with andrew zimmern, i would not hesitate at all to eat something like that, at least once. holding the honey combs like that, is another story. and yes, they are beautiful people.

[Wiegieboard]

That honey looked good.

[goodluckpeace44]

those were bee eggs

[Wiegieboard]

Full of protein.

[abdula31]

Uhuh i does but maybe it's poisoned.

[rogue10000]

fuck that

[ak4benji204]

Brilliant xD

[1979kr]

lol

[D33Lux]

chewing that big piece of honey comb with grubs and all like big raisins covered in white chocolate.

[x1te]

Beautiful people.

[lto95]

Wow, These Kind Of Things Really Intrest Me. I'd Love To Go Somewhere Like That And Experience Myself What Its Like!

[SmackPack08]

I heard bee stings are good for the body But don't know if its true ?

[jammybizzle666]

Yeah, it's true.

[gummybears54]

Haha great solution :P

[katanaburner]

I think I said this before but as I understand it they have a kind of immunity to a certain amount of bee stings though not all of them.

[sqemishfish]

notice how he blew into the tree first. he probably had smoke in his mouth

[Heru18012]

HOW DO THEY NOT GET STUNG BY THE BEES??

[magicster123]

magic

[Heru18012]

it's magical...lol

[magicster123]

or ninja skillz

[Heru18012]

yeah...they got those quick hands...lol. they must practice alot.

[magicster123]

like NINJAZ (-_-)

[Heru18012]

X--P...^_^

[grizzleface23]

i want to live their

[ThePCpoet]

yummy, grubs and all!

[bordine74]

lol cute vid

[katanaburner]

I was thinking the same thing.

[spartanses]

!akewa :)

[EnergyDog23]

plants usually have lot of roots..

[64blackbird92]

Only if you cut all of the roots off at once, which I don't imagine they'd do, since a dead plant isn't one that is making Delicious Things. A single plant can usually handle losing a root or two; it's not exactly a delicate domestic plant.

[Rapidpanda1st]

you'd have to be determined to sustain all those bee stings to get honey :)

[xraycortina]

I was stung by a bee the other day - ten quid for a jar of honey......

[guiltybystander77]

I guess its the same as native tribes of the congo being resistant to malaria. These guys just don't react allergically to a bee's venom (not saying you don't have to be TOUGH to take all those stings though).

[btjm83]

they don't get stung, really. they chill the bees out with smoke, or do it at night, or have other methods to keep the bees calm. All part of that indigenous knowledge that Mears is talking about. Living WITH the world, not against it.

[maltijien]

Yummi honey .

Im getting a watery mouth man.

id really like to taste that grubs an all

[GVL79]

wow, what is it called tsk!wa?

[KITTEN696913]

of course they are eating pre-chewed food...the extension cord to their food proccessor is too short! Parents all over the world do that for their children!!!

[qwertyXYZ23456]

Those children are eating prechewed food!!

[KIMSLIM101]

incredible

[dumaznbum]

deng i wanna try sum of dat root

[mk3stargazer]

havent you noticed you got negative feedback by saying first on most of the ray mears videos, youre so annoying so stop it
