Walking in the Desert - Ray Mears Extreme Survival - BBC

[can0mark]

@UltiSurvivor 

He shows what random objects can be used as protection in such situations.

[182popeye]

he is soo much better than the fake bear grylls. i just find grylls immensly stupid with no common sense

[JamesMoyle6]

this guy just isn't as good as bear grylls, it's not his fault mind, maybe he could get himself some pinters!

man vs wild woo!

[skittification]

@craigbusker that would be the Cubs mate

[outskool100]

hahah he look like the taliban

[CubanModeEnabled]

He looks like a boss with those cardboard glasses. I bet he pimp slaps the camera man.

[MissAstuteness]

And the he jumps into a helicopter that is waiting just behind the cameraman :)

[SuperJumpit]

lol arab style i feel kind of discriminated.

[VC106893]

Mad respect for the cameraman xD

He has to do everything Ray does, WITH A CAMERA xD

[BigUpToNJ]

ray sun bans  LOLZzzzzz

[NosferatuD]

That's a great note to end on...

[vegatu1]

2:01 Fantastic tourism time ;-)

[Negrobot2000]

Don't fight the trolls, by fighting, they win.

[ergiel]

I guess a lack of second part means that he is still walking?

[HomoGnosticus]

he should sell this card board sun glasses over his web shop, he could make millions with this superior product^^

[traceyrmj2]

did he survive?

[TheTrollEater]

Great. You'll die looking like a douche.

[crappybumbum]

HAHAHAH great comment! It's true too hahahah

[Trisscarr]

wtf did the cardboard come from, Lol

[FrEnChYpTiChEf]

i don't doubt of his surviving skills in the canadian or artic, but any noob knows you'll get a better chance at night following stars and getting a small chance of surviving this desert.

End up doing what he does, you will fall in desidratation in few hours and...fail

[ExtremeWelder]

If you watch the video again, youll see he start out by saying you shall not walk the desert in daytime, but he is going to try just to see what it feels like. He never said you should do this.

[FrEnChYpTiChEf]

ha exactly, you're right

[meandkg]

these nissan adverts are really pissing me off! they are so childish aswell

[XxnEr0xXxMaNexX]

hahaha yeah way to goo Mcgyver ! nice glaces ! ROFL

[bapyou]

0:24 to 0:28 ... This man doesn't know the trick about walking on sand dunes. You should always walk on the stoss side of a dune, i.e. the upwind side; never the downwind side. The upwind side of a dune usually provides a relatively solid surface on which to walk. It's the downwind side ... the steeper slipface ,,, where the sand is softest and your feet will sink ... such as you see here at 0:24 to 0:28.

[AnimaRaptor]

Given as he wanted to know if he could make it out on foot from a place where he'd been stranded I don't see why you twits are asking where he got the stuff from... His jeep, duh.

[TINTINAD4X4]

I like the headdress idea but nylon would make you sweat so much and your head would overheat in no time. I live in a desert country and go out there off-roading quite a lot and must say that cotton/lynen is the only thing I would recommend, and who the hell would have a parachute with them anyway?

[globe255]

@TINTINAD4X4 , right you are.

[Survivorguy74800]

Hehe look of this head dress :D

[hosweetim89]

Build an igloo !

[jerryaltman]

His cameramen is a android, cause he is there all the time without use those surviving technics.

Háaa háaa háaa...

[LethalxEnigma]

He has a film crew which are well prepared for the task.

[mramz88]

im a humint collector for the army and was lost with my squad in afghanistan and the mountains fucked up our communications and gps was messed. we were out for maybe 4 days

i was the only person who didnt almost die of dehydration or heat exhaustion or end up smelling like shit is cus i wax my body hair. body hair traps sweat, increases humidity, and is swarming with bacteria. hairless ppl will always do best in any environment, antarctic or 120degree iraqi summers

[larryljenkinsii]

What were you spotting and assessing? Rocks?

[ReggaeZal]

you're lying. body hair has nothing to do with survival. like 10% of the world's soldiers might have fully waxed.

body hair also doesnt cause you to smell bad, the odour from your armpit does. And it just so happens that your an american soldier who went to iraq and was the lone survivor and you end up coming to youtube to share this with people, liar liar.

[Shoot1ngStar]

DAMN who u got cracks from, mustve been hella strong to make u go visit iraq LOL

[dudec007]

when he sat down i thought he was gonna slide down the hill with the parashute stuff

[dragonman462]

Guys the cardboard comes from the infamous cardboard cactus which you can make a box shelter out of and even color it with some crayons from the crayon ants on the desert floor lol

[TheSecretSword]

And a piece of parachute. LOL

[mrtommy101]

and suddenly he finds cardboard...

[maltijien]

I love thos Rayban shades hahahah

[Lex60]

If is a recorded program of course they not are in a survival situation [think in the camera man and another crew members] and can fake things. But the tips they show are really usefull.

And everybody can learn a LOT of Ray and Bear and another experimented men.

[valcan99]

where the hell did that cardboard come from

[PzoiNick]

it must grow in the desert :S lol

[craigbusker]

Excuse me - but have any of You Trolls who are putting Mr Mears down actually been in a survival situation? Probably not - i know i haven't and won't pretend that I have. Respect a man who started learning survival skills in the british countryside as a child please.

[fhydan]

The whole sunslits thing is the most stupid thing you can do in the sands!

Only do it if you want your feet bitten by something poisonous.

Besides, the sun is only uncomfortable, if you cannot handle it, keep your head a little bit down your face should remain in the shade.

[natethegreatness]

bear grylls is ten times better this guy is bull, "i brought this parachute nylon..." yeah everyone will bring that into the desert

[Warpride]

You're on the right track here in my opinion... You're just writing it wrong...

Ray shows you what you can do with "anything"

Bear shows you was you can do with certain stuff

Survivorman shows you how lucky his is to be alive.

Nowm I don't give a flying-fuck, either each of them have their own message, and if you fail to understand that and you die, then you failed.

[dandddandan]

This guy teaches survival to the SAS! Nuff said.

[jakefinn56]

yep and bear grills was in the SAS. SO EVERYONE CHILL ON THE BEAR GRILLS FAKE STUFF,AND SURVIVORMAN SUCKS STUFF AND THE RAY MEARS IT CRAPPY STUFF ALRIGHT!

ALL OF THEM ARE GREAT IT DOESNT MATTER WHEATHER THEY ARE ACTUALLY SURVIVING OR NOT ITS WHAT THEY TEACH YOU THATS IMPORTANT!

[katanaburner]

All what he is trying to tell you is to be prepared for whatever location you're going to. That's all.

[brittol12]

sweet awsome

[dukcaboose]

desert = most difficult enviroment for me to survive

no natural supply = death

[cowsaresmug]

like ur gonna find cardboard in the desert

[bilwilkil]

Why not you find rubbish pretty much everywhere these day's

[bmxer9410]

OMFG

[corbaman]

I'm sure if you were rescued wearing that, the searchers wouldn't laugh at you.  Really, they wouldn't.

[homemadealcoholstove]

Its the first time ive seen him use a multitool...

[junior420909]

who carrys a bed sheet in there pocket and cardboard?? wtf...ps you look like a terrorist

[technogearhead]

you sound like a ugly american.

[junior420909]

wow those are big words for sumone who is from AMERICA

[technogearhead]

ignorant and defenisive.

[junior420909]

not ignorant but im very defensive

[Rapidpanda1st]

Junior-

Yes, you are extremely ignorant.

It shows how the media has warped peoples' views .

You immediately jump to the conclusion of 'Terrorist' when someone uses a sheet to shade their head from the sun.

Extremely ignorant.

~Frosty.

[mecrazy5]

in the desert you need to be preared, he obviosly knew he wud need them so he bought them, idiot,and who the fuck cares that he looks like a terrorist, whos gunna know moron

[junior420909]

NO! this is suppose to be about survival and use what u can that u find. u cant cheat and say u always carry a bed sheet and a fuckin cardboard around wit in ur pocket u WTF

[mecrazy5]

emergancy survival is finding and using but trip surviving is planning for possible occurenses, u wtf

[junior420909]

ok if its a planned survival trip then im gonna fuckin take the whole kahuna with me like a tent and blankets and food and water first aid pack, fishing rod, cups, bowls, knives spoons, the works

[mecrazy5]

space is of the essance you now, only take what you feel you will need....

[SuburbanNinja8000]

I make my Self look like a Terrorist every Day... shut the fuck up. You Do what you have to do to live.

[SuburbanNinja8000]

Some Reason I never get borded about it.

[mecrazy5]

eh?

[SuburbanNinja8000]

What did I say? Sorry, Forgot myself.

[mecrazy5]

whatever it was it is in the past, lets forget it. :)

[SuburbanNinja8000]

ok.

[YpmaEnterprise]

he got parachute nylon.... rofl. Like he wants us to think that he got the balls to jump out of that plane.

[bozcv2]

i dont think hes trying to say that at all, hes more than likely trying to give an example of what you could use if you were to find yourself in the middle of a desert.

I dont know the figures but im fairly sure the majority of people who have found themselves in that situation, have had to bail out of a plane, so a parachute would be one of the things they will have.

[gavbag1234]

I love ray mears but I do think its crazy that Cardboard boxes and parachutes just appear out of no where.

Also if you watch the other videos, He always ends on a really depressing sentence.

[ultrapaladin]

you need thin long sleeves to protect your skin from the sun.

[konsybob]

Keep out the wind/dust.

[mogley369]

so you just fucked?

[wurth987456]

yep...royaly screwed id say :D

[cdltpx]

No that would be your eventuality with that attitude.

[creationode]

compared to the virtual point?

[ve240]

clever.

[amoose77]

and what's the actual point of this vid??

[academyof1985]

Point is that if one ever gets stranded in the desert have a long white parachute material and a cardboard box.
