Importance of the Sago Tree - Ray Mears World of Survival - BBC

[rhodium1233]

lol all that brilliant technology and no one could come up with a sp00n? I only say this cause I 'd find it annoying to wipe the sago starch off my face after each meal.

[rhodium1233]

I read somewhere that all parts of the sago palm are toxic??? Maybe they meant the plant itself? and exclude the fruit? This came about when I inquired about eating palm stalks.

[Spartan0057]

that's not food, they are eating glue

[majumwo]

@Spartan0057 it's actually really good. :))

[powereater]

for a "backwards" culture, this is fairly complex

[iGiveWedgies]

wait a minute...if it has that much starch, couldnt it be turned into something like rice wine?

[monkfighter123]

that should be like the world most best vegetarian soup but hey thats just me

[DrPimpSicals]

Dude, can anyone send me some type of link to show me how to make that leaf pot??? That's is AMAZING!

[demonhill]

i just took 2 durians. yesterday.. damn it is tasty ... D24... next week is Musang King

[nonipher123]

that fruits is Durian...in the philippines so many like that in the south area....

[abcdefakhri90]

ray mears are chicken...why dont you eat the sago meal..??

be like Man vs Wild ,they eat anything..haha

[lolflap]

@abcdefakhri90 He technically isn't supposed to eat it,the people believe Sago trees are white people's ancestors.

[richard2mitchell]

@abcdefakhri90 You fail don't you.

[slyrader1]

the natives know best 

[bebensudin]

Durian i like it

[itsallgood21211]

why would anybody want to eat something that smells like vomit?

[LuckyDukeSeven]

@itsallgood21211

Well, starving to death just doesn't sound good to them either.

[lum2ina]

@itsallgood21211 i dont get why people hate durians so much...have u ever tasted it? it's like avocado crossed mango. It's high on alcohol for a fruits and makes us stuff easier. the only bad thing is that its dangerous to stand beneath the tree cos it can fall out any time and those thorns are sharps! when its season durian in our country is like US pumpkins in fall! :D

[chmellen]

I agree, do not eat this.

[kaldicuct]

isnt that smelly fruit the one thats said "smells like hell, tastes like heaven"

[vallonia]

@kaldicuct nooo thats pussy.

[kaldicuct]

@vallonia i said fruit, not taco

[lucvaudar]

@MrGman0909 Reminds me of your Hoe-ass sister when me and Dick James Double teamed her fat ass...Lyrically!

[CocodriloNYC]

@mackawack12346 LoL

[AgApE010]

THAT is how you be resourceful: the same tree you use to build your house is used for food, to making carrying cases, and using the base of the tree as a container for the starch to be processed in.

[nantakana]

duriannn...! yummy..!

[Richayh]

Mhhhh and what you eat is the CREMY WHITE substance aroudn the seed

[WaKeZnDrAnKz]

[canttnac]

[1darkmesiah1]

[richard2mitchell]

@1darkmesiah1 Why do thay have a bucket? I don't see anywhere it says that thay don't take or use anything from the *white man*.

[richard2mitchell]

then where the hell did thay come from??

[TMThenu]

Jesus,, it's called a papeda (the paste) taste horribly..

[emothanz]

[killerinthehounds]

[1prayer4all]

[Master8laster]

Im too fat.

[ninlandon]

@Master8laster fatass

[sibeguev]

[kiyoko0369]

[shobarsch]

What? What did he say about the insects???

[frackcha]

@shobarsch judging from the response of the blades, id say their pretty nasty kritters... :)

[Ironicfail]

Looks like seman o.o

[lephucminh84]

i love this fruit taste really good.

[firebug0001]

surprised nobody else said it yet, but that looks like sperm

[benrmarshallkazzoo]

Carrion and vomit....... Makes me hungry just thinking about it.

[yerk3]

OMG, they make a non-Newtonian fluid. They grind up the center of this ubiquitous tree, carry it in another part of the tree, engineer a massive, complex filtration device built entirely out of other parts of the same tree, built on specs that they had committed to memory some centuries ago, that converts the tree pulp into a non-Newtonian fluid, which they then eat.

[barukatube]

Miam Miam !

[GoDudi]

These guys are really efficient.. They didn't waste any parts of the trees.

[Severosrighthook]

@GoDudi i think theyre retarded, they shoulve go to school and get jobs

[GoDudi]

@Severosrighthook Well, everyone have their own opinion. :P

[talker394]

i know that sago tree paste. i make that all the time. and I'm sure you do too.

[talker394]

i know that sago paste, i make that every day.

[anohsh]

just wow at how these people live its amazing

[chaingang342]

Mmmmmm Warm Jizz.....

[berrykit]

Durian fruit comes from sago palms?

This is interesting... I love that basket... I wish I could make those...

[markitymark90]

@berrykit lol... Durians come from durian trees, Sago is made from Sago trees...

[berrykit]

@markitymark90

Oh. For some reason I heard that it comes from Sago, which confused me.

[berrykit]

@berrykit oops. I accidentally clicked the vote down button on my comment. >.>

[MITBfromROBLOX]

I hate the smell of jackfruits. One time when I went to Jamaica, My family opened a bag of them and it game me a headache.

[with33]

anyone else notice how much that looks like jizz?

[matthias18645]

this paste from the sergo tree looks like sperm

[ERNY161]

[Narrstyboi]

[jamzva]

[Verradonairun]

I wonder if you can make that using starch from other kinds of trees and extracting it with the same process.

[TonyCuterly]

that food looks like sperm

[FlamingFury5]

those guys are real bushmasters

[mr87q]

haha they didnt let him eat it lool, porbs coz they think that white folk will come an strip there rainforest of saigo trees if he had it hahah

[billychen13]

its amazing to see these traditional food and life styles

[abandonnez]

I loved the top of the carrying pot. It was so nice looking. I especially like the fact that everything they got was used from 1 tree, and not multiple trees wasted. People like this bring me so much joy :D

[musiciankara]

why use plate and not use spoon?

[Negrobot2000]

Ray is a bitch, he doesn't even taste the food those locals have wasted by serving it to him!

[NosferatuD]

@Negrobot2000 He just said that local tradition holds that foreigners are descended from Sago palm so he can't eat of the the tree.

[Negrobot2000]

@NosferatuD The way he said it, "does not have to eat it", just pisses me off cause these ppl dont have much and its very rude to refuse food given to you in other cultures

[BakedCranium]

@NosferatuD Why did they give him a bowl of it though? 

[WarriorFrostpaw]

actually looks really good : )

[kasonyaj1]

damn commercials 

[mowat440]

thatd just kuys your white right LOL :)

[tom678ify]

ya that looks realy good

[GuiltyVampire108]

mmm durian.. yummy

[yairrammstain]

thats looks really delicious

[RazorX53]

haha did you see the look on his face when he said "im not supposed to eat it" lmao i bet he was pi**ed off

[sexybody599]

my favorite duriAN ^^

[vireak209]

That Basket Was just badass! It looked to perfect and to well done to be made by hand! Ubber Sexy!

[skyahn83]

Lol Ray Mears likes Durian. Add him to the short list of Ang Mo that enjoy that fruit. :)

[Twinklesimlestarr]

it looks like someone just blew their load in the bowl

[dthelonelyone]

@Twinklesimlestarr lol, your off the chain man.

[bongolongo89]

i feel myself getting the runs just by watching this... !

[iworkforme]

he should have tried it.

[ninja6kid]

2:45 zomg skillz....

[ndsboy888]

whats durian?

[Glenhu123]

durian!!!!! omg i love it

[neuroleptika]

Yummy....slime....an untermench staple food....

[killerkite7]

at the end the baby is so cute!!!

[impulsive2urge]

why did they eat the bee's nest? eww.

[gokucrazy22]

its actually beeswax and honey-all of which you can eat. its actually really good. imagine soft honey flavored taffy.

[impulsive2urge]

yeah i think you could eat that but not raw. I mean they should have clean it in the water first or boil it. It's like eating raw meat.

[traceyrmj2]

And I can just imagine a Nualu saying "Have you ever thought of this white man as not coming from a Sago? It seems to me as if you are being racist."

[dyingangelo]

why did they say that he came from the sago tree? is it because of his white skin? :)

[dhom100]

that was amazing how that guy made the basket.

[ohvnaq]

love the look on the kid's face at the end :D

[beneng]

Finally, someone who like durian....unlike andrew zimmern.lol.

[dhom100]

lol it's hard to believe Zimmern didn't like it considering all the nasty things he put in this mouth. not many people like Durian fruits, even the natives. I've never tried it but wouldn't want to if it smells like rotten egg. this guy actually relish it like candy.

[aguswidjaja]

@beneng I love durian. Maybe I should move to the rainforest where durian is free.

[NoobsUnited]

durian is expensive?

[aguswidjaja]

@NoobsUnited Yes, durian is very expensive in California. Hmmm....thinking of it makes me hungry.

[Karlzberg414]

Great indigenous technology for processing the starch in the middle of the forest

[qbthething]

u can buy those sago substance here in the us or maybe anywhere...just go to an Asian food market

[Masoukishin]

vietnamese market to be exact hahahah its called durian

[SolomonJonesIsBack]

@Masoukishin He's not talking about the durian, he's talking about sago.

[Masoukishin]

yeah i kinda figured that out but didnt delete my comment because i was lazy

[Masoukishin]

man if you eat too much durian you will get a fever the next day... because the fruit contains so much sugar it will raise your temperature and get you really sick the next day or so. So when you eat it dont go over one fourth because beyond that was my limit.... ooo man worst sick days ever...

[MilesB1975]

He said "Wall-Paper Paste", not 'All-Peasant' paste... sigh.

[ACTORnSCREENWRITER]

Wait... These tribal folks belive the British/Caucasian race came from that tree?

LoL I dont blame Europe for colonizing foreign nations :-P

[PumpkinEskobarr]

thats is weird...

[BroDudeYo]

LOL "It looks like all peasant paste and it probably tastes like it"

[Rapidpanda1st]

BroDudeYo-

Wallpaper Paste, not peasant paste you toolbox.

~Frosty.

[Guitar4God1]

Durian smells extremely bad but the taste isnt that bad.

[isiah180]

stinks like hell but taste like heaven

[HiWay69s]

@Guitar4God1 it kinda taste like onions, feet & shit with a touch of sugary banana

[Water93Phoenix]

@Guitar4God1 yep that's right! But it's sometimes bad for those who got a sensitive tongue. (like me) lol~

[sacura605]

@Guitar4God1 the smells depends on people

ive eaten as a child so it doesnt bother me in fact it means good tasty duran is nearby lol

[ashthegreat]

then why the fuck do they eat it!!?

[shotchenlee]

just like a coconut tree, wherein you can use everything from it =]

[patrikasLTL]

i love the word "refining"

i also love to imagine how some random dude got the idea to chop up a tree and mix it with water and somehow make food from what used to be... not a whole lot. and he passed on the word and people do factory-like teamwork to ReFinE some material generation after generation.... with no maths or chemistry :P

and who the hell thought of milking a cow?? by immitating other animals?? must've been one sick bastard if you ask me.

[gimuelgwapo]

I love the candy version of durian. we have it in the philippines.

[WorldOfBoomCraft]

2:46 is completely smart .

[isiah180]

i know right?

[Lhikanpickshisnose]

I HATE the smell of a durian, but the taste is good

[67mustangreg]

what the fuck....he came from a tree?

[ReggaeZal]

Durian is an alien to fruit to anyone outside of asia, but in asia, people treat durians like gold.

i personally hate the smell, but the taste isnt bad at all. and whats more interesting is that durian scent is horrid to some,but a pleasure to others.

[Iaminthecloset]

looks like sperm

[nicalovesmocha]

omg! its DURIAN.

so yummy.

[sepatulapar]

hmmm PAPEDA!!

[coolwierdo]

he came from a sago tree?

cuz he's white? if that's it ahahahah

[power123]

sago.. .. its carbohydrates.. just like rice.. and bread. American's eat bread and Asian eat rice and other tribes eat sago.. its all because of surviving this cruel unfair world..

[survival101ne]

were is this filmed

[mohmog33]

The sago paste looked like snot.

[Bite008]

Sago looks like puke to me. Id eat it if that's all there was.

[pahwraith]

I bet it makes a good wallpaper glue. But I'd eat it, I still think the guy who 1st came up with this was a genius......a starving genius.

[Onionboy32]

They should mix the durian with the paste..

[06hurdwp]

I've tried durian and sago before, durian is like banana (sort of) and sago has no flavour at all.

[7Elemental]

some says durian smells stink but for me it smells like a milk with lots of sugar and its delicious.

durian is one of my favorite fruits.

[thesniperscode]

if we all lived like tribal people the world would be a more peaceful place casue we all would be the same 100 percent all fighting together and standing together trying to survive.

[pahwraith]

I dunno about that, tribes killed each other all the time. Even chimps tribes kill each other.

[thesniperscode]

yea you got a point but i mean if us as people in america learned to live like one entire village like family instead of hating one another the world could be a better place and people would learn to appreciate family relation or friendship instead of material things.

[pahwraith]

yeah, i see what you mean.

[thesniperscode]

lol thanks at least i am not the only one who think material things are important.

[PaowinPandas]

Grubs looked really delicious in the lion king...but not really in real life =/ but durian is good!

[babylover112]

Durian is Delicious!!

[bestSVMS]

what did he say that paste probably taste like?

wood pulp paste?

that looks nasty

it looks like slime

add some coloring

[Darknesszx3]

i ate it before its good and sweet

[E2F83]

Hahaha I love durians ^_^

[spritz0]

Honestly this stuff does look good- probably would be cool to try it!!

[straightJO]

that thorny fruit is "durian".. nobody eat it when its already crack. Cracks means its already too riped, and spoiled.
