  • Very good demo and ideas. Won't forget.

  • Ray Mears is the Chuck Norris of survival

  • Oh GOD! Can't a guy just watch a video about survival without those Bear Grylls annoying fans? It's like those stupid 12 year old girls fighting over Edward or Jake from Twilight... WHY DON'T YOU JUST LEARN EVERITHING YOU CAN FROM EVERYONE YOU CAN, YOU MORONS!?!Geez...

    BTW, Bear is a showman, absolutely nobody agreed to do what he does, not Ray, not Les, not Cody, not Dave, not even that stupid couple from "Man Woman Wild"

    But if you want, jump in a unknown river from a high place yourself!

  • piss drinking is apparently not recommended...

  • come on guys, Ray and Bear just have different aproaches. Bears teaches you how to get OUT of the wild. Ray teaches you have to get INTO the wild and support youself. sure you can make fun of Bear and piss drinking, I admit, I think it's fucking hilarious myself but he IS proving a point. so is Ray, I like them both.

  • @jelsonmandelaa ur,a pussy bg is the king of the,wild ray mears is bullshit

  • Fail, bg is better than u fucking wank!

  • Pssht Bear Grylls is pussy compared to Ray Mears

  • could you mix the two and store it in a bottle?

  • @PaidPuppyTV No it's an exothermic reaction, the energy comes from the chemicals reacting, you could put it in a bottle but then you'd just have a melted bottle. Potassium Permanganate is a good water treatment option, especially as a secondary treatment to remove taste of Chlorine or Iodine.

  • or you could use the cigarette lighter

  • make fire using a car bad tree?

  • Les Stroud did the thing at 1:41 Check him out

  • em not being funny man but there isnt many trees in the desert that you could make shelter out of, plus the camel scenario was for an emergency case where there was sand storm. So im pretty sure ray mears would dive into that came if he had too. There both good at what they do Ray is more informative and bear is situation based eg sand storm.

  • E Perb = E Pube

  • or you could use the car's cigar lighter...

  • bear grylls is the best

    

  • @0351son the best at showing the opposite of what to do.

  • Ray is the original and the bsest, Bear is just trying to cash in on Rays turf by eating elephant dung if im hungry or thirtsty il perish before i eat shit

  • @WAYNOSCOUPE Totally different target audience. Guys like Bear are lowest common denominator i.e. fun, accessible and not too serious. Ray is comparable to Richard Attenborough: very knowledgable, great narrating voice and very upper class. Saying that, if I want to spend an hour to learn something, I'd watch Ray; if I want an hour of entertainment where I may learn something, I'd watch Bear or any of the other "everyman" "survivalists".

  • Comment removed

  • also in deutschland funktioniert der verbandsmaterial tipp nicht den hier ist das ganze zeug aus kunstfasern

  • What if you swallow Potassium Permanganate and Glycerin afterwards....? I mean who would carry both if the simultaneous presence of them both in your intestines will cause severe burns and internal bleeding?

  • @ashthegreat - I think the trick is not to eat your first aid kit, no matter how hungry you get. It is like saying don't carry a knife, because if swallowed it might cause severe internal laceration.

  • @Long23

    Oh, they're only First Aid Items? :P Hehe, so they are both only used for disinfecting wounds?

    I didn't notice that the First Aid Kit was their container.

  • He reminds me a bit of Jack Black... :D

  • potassium what?

  • @Sumidu it's Potassium permanganate

  • really

    

  • ray mears is the best at what he does id say that guy could survive in most environments no problem but bear grylls is not bad either, ive developed more respect for him after watching the everest mission. Id like to see ray mears push himself a bit more to show what limits he can really go too. bear grylls and ray mears stand now that be some programe:)

  • @dec21000 It would be like this: "Hey Ray there's a dead camel.. looks about a month old.. lets hollow it out and spend the night." "or... in the same time.. we could just build a shelter out of those trees"

  • 'You get the idea'?! Can't get a fire going for the camera Ray? Poor love, it's hard when youre in such a dry flammable climate.

  • @OsoElPardo 1:50 didn't notice the flames?

  • hehe, if you can take the trouble to have steel wool, potassium permanganate, etc. etc., then you can surely take the trouble just to have regular fire starting materials: waterproof matches and tinder, etc.

  • Les Stroud would have to stand on his mother's shoulders just to kiss Ray's ass!

  • LOL to the last comment. bear grylls is pure insane, but ray is just indestructible

  • nah.. bear grylls is just a phony. Ray Mears is the real deal

  • and les stroud beats them all

  • @p6a9u1l42 Les Stroud learned from experts before he did his challenges.. Ray Mears is such an expert!

  • @manx1324 hate you for the thought, love it for the lol, there both good men, but ray is just more instructive, and i think...more reliable in a crisis situation (first he wil probrably keep you out of one)

  • @manx1324

    Bear grills shows you how to survive when you are deep in the shit. Mears keeps himself away from the shit.

  • @agun17

    Bullshit ! :o)

  • @agun17 It just seems like "deep shit" because of how its produced. They've both gone to wild places. The difference is that after filming I hear Bear goes to his hotel room. I am almost sure that Ray knows how to keep comfortable enough that it wouldn't make much difference to him in a tent or a hotel room.

  • @manx1324 vice versa

  • @manx1324 I hardly think so.

  • @manx1324 other way round u dick!

  • these marine core adverts are really old now..

  • Les Hiddins did this years ago , the bit with the steel-wool that is.

  • amazing...

  • Nice shorts.

  • Good shit, even I learned a couple of tips here but then I always carry a few odds & ends in case shit happens, & here in the bush there's a fair chance of it!

  • How bout carrying a BIC ?

  • wat if the bic gets wet and you need a fire right away?

  • i wish i knew HALF the stuff ray mears knows

  • thats a tall order hahaha

  • @dANNNimal ___ Hell, I wish I knew half of what he's forgotten!

  • @dANNNimal i wish i knew ALL the stuff he knew :D

  • @dANNNimal i wish i knew ray mears

  • @dANNNimal

    I think most of us would be quite satisfied with half of what he SHOWS. Even that's a lot.

  • @dANNNimal I wish i knew all the stuff he knows

  • everyone has this argument about ray mears bear grylls and that guy from survivor man, they are all good they just show different sides to survival like ray is tips on shelter andways of using wood bear eats anythin he can find that looks gross lol and shows the sort of extreme measures and survor man is just really smart and does the most of it himself

  • plus if ur not prepared with stuff before u go out into environments liek this then you should die. natural selection at its finest. also, setting fire to a large tree would take a bit more physical work but would work much better as a smoke signal.

  • all of this stuff is given to military squads but for civilians, if u dont want to die or suffer alot then simply spend the cash to buy this stuff before you go out

  • WTF IS A HEY PRESTO I WANNA KNOW!

  • ray mears is the man.

  • dude fuk all yall survivorman (less stroud) is a beast he survives by himself wit out nuthin so i dont no wut all yall bichn bout

  • rofl ur retarted he brings guns and flint even bear grills is better

  • that is ridiculous ive learned more from ray mears in short clips on youtube than watching bear grylls for hours on tv

  • I would just mix some TNT with a match and then presto! Fire! Explosion!

  • Ok so we will use some glycerine and some nitric acid. mix them up together... stay about a couple of miles away and wait for an explosian.

    Hey presto you have fire ...!!.....fuck!!

    where has the jeep gone???????????

    XD lol

  • Indiana Jones

  • he does it like its fucking nothing

  • Ray is a master in survival. Bear is just a bad student.

  • i cant believe there are still people who think this is an argument. first off bear and ray are doing two different things. second bear is only more entertaining because his situations are more severe. the problem is his situation is always staged and between scenes they are sleeping in hotels and at resorts.not to mention the scenarios are self inflicted and really there isnt a whole lot of practical inormation for the common person who is just out enjoying themselves in the wild.

  • anyone who perposely puts themselves into the situations bear puts himself into are asking for death. ray is realistic. bear is for show and entertainment. it depends on what you want. do you want to be educated or do you want to be entertained. its 2 different things.

  • bear grylls is a fake; he stays in hotels and has a fuck load of support the lies about it. Ray is honest and well versed in the skills he uses; he may not have hollywood filming styles but he knows what he's talking about and gives sound advise

  • even if he is fake as u say

    its still way more entertaining than ray.

    Transformers are fake too but they are cool.

    so we cool.

    And besides that..the things that bear says are true..and he eats all those stuff..not faking it.

  • He doesn't lie about it you dipshit. Look at his videos. He admits he has a crew. And who cares if he has a safety crew and film crew and stays in hotels when not filming. He is still teaching a valuable lesson. His methods and techniques are correct. One day when you are in a pickle you may remember something he taught you and use it to keep you alive. I don't see YOUR ass out there doing any better so stop judging others and worry about your own hypocrisies.

  • As we can see...

  • I agree. He is very good at what he does; entertaining adolescent boys, but for me bushcraft is all about living in complete harmony with your environment as humanity has done for millions of years. There is nothing so fulfilling as slowly gaining the techniques necessary to be able to disengage from modern life if you choose.

  • so u go out with what? a knife and thats it? ppl might have done that 10,000 years ago or the aborigines nowadays but thats y they die so often and have so many diseases and cant treat their injured without amputation or some shit. theres "ya im gonna go bare like they did it back int he day" but when ur lost in a desert and its 110deg and u have a dead goat, a knife, and a cigarette lighter ur gonna die fast

  • actually, aboriginal peoples were always noted as being in far better health than European settlers. They had better teeth, did not require surgeries, and even in modern times, their medicine has been more effective than modern methods (see the use of Yarrow at the Siege of Wounded Knee)

    They actually had FEWER diseases, and any they did encounter they had a remedy for.

  • @pitatapiu except for that pesky small pox, eh?

  • yeah its true, but the thing you dont mention is that their immune system is stronger because they are exposed to much harsher environments.

    today we sterilize and antibacterialize everything, which destroys our immune systems, especially in children.

    those people who use purell constantly are actually the sickest of us all...

  • that true, I rarely use purell. once in a blue moon.

  • @pitatapiu

    is that why the native american population was decimated by european diseases? in both south and north america?

  • man.. if i give ray mears ebola, as healthy as he is, he's gonna be a sack of goo after a lil while.

    immunity not really related to health imo.

  • ray mears teaches how to LIVE in the wild, bear grylls teaches how to get out of the wild

  • Or get killed...

  • @bobcheese427 you think? Teaches how to rush, be an idiot, take risks that don't need to e taken, and generally, how to kill yourself.

  • @mryellow123 exactly, thats why i prefer Ray Mears :)

  • @mryellow123 Jesus! I know right. it pisses me off, sure, bear is cool and all but fuck that stuff he does is worthless and probably all cooked up by his producers against the better judgement of the real survival expert on staff. Besides, Bear is in it just for the money and I doubt he gives a damn if the things he says work get someone killed. I mean "his" knives are fucking shit.

  • @ataraxic89 There are just too many bits to laugh at, but one that I always remember is "When moving through the rain-forest it's best to move quickly and keep up your momentum" (as he runs down a hill). Know a forward scout who had to do that in Papua after coming face to face with Jap HMG position. After 100m his clothes were gone, after 200m his skin was gone. 2 weeks in hospital. Another beauty is when he goes into a mine under the "assumption" that it will have another lower exit. :-)

  • @mryellow123 Well, in his defense, Im sure that guy was running REALLY fast :)

  • what happened to zippo lighters if your going camping or something

  • The traditional zippo lighter is not sealed, and will become dry just on its own. Carrying a lighter is pretty smart, but I would choose a butane one. If you want it wind proof take the jet burner ones. Btw I love Zippo's, and always have one on me. I jsut suppliment it with another butane. The good thing about zippo styled lighters is that they can burn a lot of various types of fuels.

  • Another form of fire starter is smart to carry too. Like magnesium fire starters or man made flint

  • demise3601, Ray mears teachs about all sorts of situations, survival or not, with respect to a huge range of equipment or natural materials, Here he obviously focuses on one sitution, look at other clips and documentaries to see how broad and deep his knowledge and skills are,

  • his style of survival is having eveything with him. bear grylls does with very few little items on him.

  • bear grylls riggs his whole show so that he is conveniently next to every thing. Ray is a legend because of the vast knowlege he shares. he is educational. grylls is entertaainment. and predictable.

    1 jump out of a plane or helli.

    2 eat smthing gross

    3climb a water fall

    4 follow the river.

    the only reason he is cool is because he finds his way out. even if he has a crew.

  • dont go camping in woods .etc without being prepared

  • just say you were sepreated from everyone else with =out anything, then ?

  • I dont think people has carry glycerin stuff .

  • cant they just use the car lighter

  • usually, but i've been in many cars where the cigarette lighter was broken. extra knowledge always helps!

  • Absolutly Brilliant Mate!!! Chemical Science at its Best =)

  • No, No not me bung wipe!

  • just take matches with u it will save the hassle

  • My comment is in response to dweek123

    Not sure why it didnt reply to him even though i pressed reply

  • nice 1 ray ill buy 1 of them the next time i plan on gettind totally lost and sranded sumwer nice tip not this guys a fukn joke in he,survival expert?shud work for nasa half the shit he takes with him wen ur in a survival situation.

  • i dont think that ne1 who got lost in the bush ever planned to all he is doing is giving you lots of different ways of making your life easier and the point is as always be prepared and you 99 times out of a 100 will be ok

  • you can start a fire with a 9 volt battery and steel wool, it's a good thing not to store the things together, of course.

  • Ray: Then, what you do with the leftovers in the Aid Kit...take some Tylenol and get high while your waiting to be rescued...:D

  • Ray Mears :Deleted Scenes

  • wow that is amazing! It is like watching a magic show except it is much cooler and more useful! thanks again!

  • i'm positive that Ray Mears can summon fire out of the aether.

  • Thats how ya light your cigarettes

  • and take your hands with it...

  • just use the cigarette lighter from the car...

  • HAHA brilliant!!!! ill bet he wishes he thought of that

  • but isn't he talking about starting fires for emergency when ur vehicle is dead

  • could have ran out of gas.......even if your battery dies it still has enough charge to make sparks

    ...and u don't need the cables

  • if you ran outta gas the tank still has gass in it

    and yes all you need it 2 screw drivers or something to make the spark

  • A lot of modern cars dont come with them no to reduce people smoking in their car with kids in it.Also rental 4WD's dont have them as the company hardly wants people to smoke in their vehicles

  • would a matter transporter be more usefull.lol

    sorry ,,400 years early

  • How can i get full epsiodes of "School of Survival" with Ray Mears from Discovery Channel or BBC ?

    PLEASE HELP

  • very gooood!!

  • No i rele dont get the idea! plz help me

  • whats the device he is using?

  • E.P.I.R.B

    Emergency Position Indicating Radio Beacons

    Not as much fun as an ipod, but better than being dead.

  • i think GPS is more cheaper..

  • but epirb will bring u rescue

  • GPS will help find out where exactly in the world you are going to die, EPIRB may actually save your life. Either that or you buy a Ray Mears...
