Aboriginal Witchetty Grubs & Honey Ants - Ray Mears Extreme Survival - BBC

[Danitang]

at least this time

they dint said it taste like chicken =)

[miZsCrZe3]

This is amazing!

[kukusaie]

Aw, this guy reminds me of steve irwin. I loved that man. Ray here is like.. Steve meets Andrew zimmern haha

[tom123216]

imagine placing the ants in hot water ......POP!pop1POP

[thehollowbox]

the grubs look good

[NickHislop]

How'd she get so fat from eating ants? And how do they dig holes without the shovel the BBC crew brought?

[sandykoong]

Fascinating!

[jigsaw99]

Slimy... yet satisfying.

[ThePakChina]

yeeeeeeeeeeek .

[TAZZDAZZ69ER]

aboriginal for life <3

[EmperorEmpanada]

Looks better than most of the food they serve in the UK.

[guymark]

The witchetty grub I think I would struggle with - but the honey ant I would have a go at.

I am genuinely surprised though that the people get enough calories back from the ants to replace those expended in digging tunnels (two of them) bigger than than themselves.

[Gilbentes]

i wish i could eat wutchetty grubs all day :)

[Asiancookie101]

this is gross even grosser than 100 most disgusting things on the planet by anna claybourne

[Berisoo]

This is how we should live.

[eyesack9]

What a fucking champion!

[hunterdownn]

awesome

[TheSonofgun666]

They're better cooked. Than they're more peanutey.

[DesertEagleV]

Why so many flies around?

[TheSonofgun666]

@DesertEagleV That's Australia, mate! :P

Bright side is that they don't bite. They try to get drinks outa your eyes, (nothing damaging, just the tears produced to hydrate them) nose, and/or saliva.

[BizaroMustard100]

@DesertEagleV There's lots of flies because there are lots of kangaroos that get killed on the road and millions of the little bastards get born

[nightslash3535]

Honeypot ants: the living candies of Australia.

[PeteTheElit3]

lol some years we would find heaps of those Witchetty grub things sticking out the ground, we would sometimes dig up some small Witchetty grubs as well, usually kids would throw them cause they make a big splat lol. There are like none around these days.

[vsboy25]

kids in other countries get candies in Australia they get Witchetty Grubs & Honey Ants LOL.

[FrazerBoorman]

Once upon a time...a guy sucked an ant's arse to see what it tasted like. O.o

[enzo275]

3:42

[Daghead]

what the hell are the men doing?

[chichibini1]

I TOO FIRST READ IN AWAKE MAGAZINE BOTH WATCHTOWR & AWAKE ARE VERY GOOD MAGAZINES THANKS FROM INDIA

[vincereviews]

i only looked this up because of the awake magazine

[mindfulcreation]

how come when bear grills eats one its the worst thing he's ever eaten and when this guy eats it its "really quite nice"?

[stumptacular]

@mindfulcreation the reason why bear grylls is always complaining is that he is man VS wild... ray mears is more of a ONE WITH NATURE kinda guy... one says survival and means barely scraping by just passing thru... the other says survival and really means living with the earth in the garden of eden...

[Bloigen]

@stumptacular That's a great interpretation of these shows. Never thought of it like that.

[stumptacular]

@Bloigen ...if you like my interpretation ... u MUST do your self a favor and read some tom brown jr books.... look him up and check it out.... u can thank me later... tom brown jr is bear grylls daddy... ;)

[ElephantsTongue]

all that digging for a few ants

[Kassie243]

... a bit chewy with a soft centre... who here threw up after hearing that?

[SALVOTHESTONEDONE]

MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM grubs

[jhodb1]

Great educational content.

[teftae]

damn wouldnt that baneling explode in his mouth

[TheRedRider100]

wow look at all the big mommas

[icedragonSg]

why are none of these women attractive they all have big droopy titties and stuff you think there would be like an attractive women with out a beard in these tribes some where.

[Treemeadow]

Oh, those poor grubs- I could never eat food that has to be cooked live.

[cavealieniv]

@Treemeadow

Fortunately, I doubt they feel pain; insects don't have nociceptors.

[Treemeadow]

@cavealieniv

Really? Thats awesome! * goes to learn more about nociceptors*

[medqua]

Those women are fucking strong!

[voravis]

แซ๊บบ่

[SteelChains]

Allways the fucking protein...

[tiesthatbindify]

i sotr of want to try 1

[HandsomeSasquatch]

ill take that over macdonalds any day!

[nodarchi]

These honey ants are ... "Gently" eased out

[Ratchet25]

Pause at 3:35 and enjoy the facial hair.

[Troobudd]

@Ratchet25 LOOOL!!

[Dykoz2]

Ive actually eatin witchy grubs before they taste pretty good :)

[Bazanteria]

gruby popcorn

[fusion807]

those ants r awsome looking i want a pet 1

[aussieblackhawk123]

I once stole like some KFC breading at work..then started coating the witchetty grubs

..My god...It was great

[73mandala]

These grubs are not bad roasted, they taste a bit nutty once cooked, quite nice, but i'm not big on them raw, it's like eating a puss filled meat roll

[AmphibiousReconMSOB]

never smoke pot with ray mears LMAO

[greekpanther1]

HAHAHAHAH wtf, ray mears is one funny guy

[lastplacewin]

I can't believe that Aboriginal Australians are this self sufficient. I think we could learn a thing or two from them.

[GlobalAndy]

r these ppl just doing it to show off? cause i doubt theres enuf for teh whole village

[DJxSGGxNeo]

That ant farm is over 9,000!!!!!!

[FroggEnigma]

Everything in canada taste like chicken... everything down there taste eggy?

[AshCakesxD]

i like how the old women work so hard.

my grandma just knits sweaters for her dog and makes rice cakes.

[rgur90x]

i know its just natural, and its okay to eat them alive cause they die fast but... do tey HAVE to bake them alive? its so cruel

[NguyenG3n]

@rgur90x Do we have to butcher pigs ALIVE? Do we have to catch fish with hooks ALIVE? Do we have to brand pigs ALIVE?

[rgur90x]

@NguyenG3n NO not imo; which is exactly why i dont eat animals.

[5tonyvvvv]

So only atheists can be scientists..ok right..

[5tonyvvvv]

We did not evolve from any ape like animal..Homochirality proves evolution can never happen..evolutionists believe in some chemistry unknown to science..and plenty of PHD level scientist believe in intelligence..not time and chance..

[paceetrate]

@5tonyvvvv Do you even know what "homochirality" means?

[5tonyvvvv]

@paceetrate yes do u ?...amino acids forming life proteins etc.. ...right and left...evolution has no explanation for this only ridiculous assumptions

[paceetrate]

@5tonyvvvv Wow, you really don't have any idea what you're talking about, do you? Haha.

[5tonyvvvv]

@paceetrate No u dont u moron..Homochirality ..is how life forms..

[5tonyvvvv]

@paceetrate How does life or dead chemicals select only left-handed amino acids????? And why do no right-handed ones ever creep in??? This is a question that evolutionists are unable to explain away, and cannot account for such a specialized, conscious selectivity.

[5tonyvvvv]

The amino acids of all living organisms on Earth, and the building blocks of complex polymers such as proteins, all have the same left-handed asymmetry. This is tantamount to tossing a coin a million times and having it always come up heads. It is impossible to understand why molecules become left-handed or right-handed, and that this choice is fascinatingly related to the origin of life on Earth.

it is totally impossible to account for the origin of life in terms of chance and time

[5tonyvvvv]

@paceetrate If we then add these probabilities and extend them to the formation of many more, and more varied proteins, then the calculations become truly unfathomable.

its become a dead science .its a stalemate paradox..

and now we are told to believe that life came from crystals.or aliens seeded life on earth.is that a testable science?

[5tonyvvvv]

@paceetrate scientists have tried to assemble DNA AND RNA and bases outside of the cell ..and its impossible,,they both dissolve in water..

so how did they form on some primordial earth?

[5tonyvvvv]

@paceetrate No God of the gaps here sir..this is real science..from step one..it really should be simple for scientists.to explain this..My PhD. chemistry professor believes in God..not just random time and chance..

So he is an uneducated moron right,thats all i keep hearing from people..i believe in God,iam a successful person man,,it seems all the smart people in world must be atheist..ok right..LOL

[5tonyvvvv]

@paceetrate anyway.Miller's experiment lacked CHIRALITY!!!!!!..in fact this is now being shown in Textbooks for 2011..when i get them, i will scan them..finally after 60 years the truth is being told on why miller failed..and no usable building blocks were made!!!!!

stubbornly,science believes in some chemistry unknown to life

[5tonyvvvv]

@paceetrate Please tell me your theory of how this happened by chance....???..but know its an assumption not testable science..

let me know.when anyone separates right and left handed amino acids and starts assembling life proteins,RNA,DNA....

[5tonyvvvv]

@paceetrate Making a living system has reached Dead end..stale mate..

if any scientist in world could separate the amino acids..this would be a huge encouragement.i would believe the evolutionary process..

But this is not happening anywhere..No advancements have been made since 1953..

Science and biochemical chemistry,have become so advanced,and no can even explain a simple prokaryotic cell,there is no simple forms of life..

[HybOj]

@5tonyvvvv "Science and biochemical chemistry,have become so advanced,and no can even explain...." - SO advanced you say? How do u know? Maybe we are on the beggining. I can see your point, and I have respect for your opinion. But after 1000 years, you would laught at Yourself stating we are SO ADVANCED. And what about in 1 000 000 years?Or 100 000 000 years?Our imagination fails miserably here,and thats the FACT. Being unknowing doesnt require a pressence of God, although I think there is God.

[5tonyvvvv]

@paceetrate stubbornly and like a lot of scientists. i dont think u know what your up against

And u do have a Faith there is no God..and it all happened by random time and chance

Stubborn atheist would rather believe in some chemistry unknown to science,then intelligence..

In reality chemicals cant self assemble into life.EVER!!!

[HybOj]

@5tonyvvvv Dont be so dogmatic, we all know shit, that means You, me and the scientist too. If we were like you suggest, we would say that its impossible (to create life). But its in human nature to be curious - maybe in 5000 years we will come and say: Yes, its impossible to create a life because this and that. But until that time, we will try and thats ok. I think you too much relly on what ppl told you, and dont use Your intelect to answer the questions. Peace

[HybOj]

@5tonyvvvv "In reality chemicals cant self assemble into life.EVER!!!" - mate, this isnt good. How do you know that? We all know that you cant know that for sure, I hope you can admit that. Saying NEVER EVER etc. is very easy isnt it? Especially when basically knowing nothing. Cant you see the similarity in your statement and the midage statements that there NEVER EVER will be something (you can add for yourself, lets start with flat earth and earth-centric universe and such nonsense).

[greekpanther1]

@5tonyvvvv god isnt real..

[5tonyvvvv]

@greekpanther1 All amino acids in proteins are ‘left-handed’, while all sugars in DNA and RNA, and in the metabolic pathways, are ‘right-handed’.

A 50/50 mixture of left- and right-handed forms is called a racemate or racemic mixture. Which is toxic to life!!.there is ZERO chance of RNA forming by chance or on a primordial earth or even under amazing conditions in labs.and ZERO chemistry to support it..all we do is copy information,thats not creating anything!!..moron atheists !!

[Neueregel]

@5tonyvvvv so that's an excuse to bring up your imaginary Skydaddy? How 's that for delusion?

[5tonyvvvv]

@Neueregel You have a energy information problem..lets say you have all necessary proteins DNA RNA.enzymes..the paradox is..In order for digital code to be precise,and information to be processed correctly..you need the molecular machines,the factories inside the cell.assembling information..these systems are the very things..that live inside the cell.they harness the energy..its an uphill? struggle.I dont think you understand..no natural process can achieve this.

[5tonyvvvv]

@Neueregel LOL..RNA has been copied using templates and bases..and without digital information and DNA..this RNA world is going no where..you also still have the major problem of Homochirality..Inserting bases into molecules is not creating anything..its copying.. you..Please tell me the next step lets what you make next lets say you thousands of pairs of RNA..You have ZERO molecular machines..for assembly instructions...RNA molecules floating around is life?..LOL

[5tonyvvvv]

@Neueregel y to get amino acids to self assemble is impossible..there is no natural process.to make a cell evolve ..it would be easier to build a the space shuttle..blindfolded while riding a unicycle...

[Neueregel]

@5tonyvvvv you forget 2 things. 1st - 4.7 BILLION years of Evolution that can do anything. 2nd - The Non-random processes of Natural Selection. Amino acids gather, make the first cell, yada yada... thus no need for external force. Absolutely.

[5tonyvvvv]

@Neueregel Trillions of years could go by..and you would still have nothing amino acids dont form into anything even under amazing conditions in labs, scientists still have never made one single protein..and RNA is just being copied....Time is your God..and it would still not help you..EVER!!

[Neueregel]

@5tonyvvvv Well, early Earth had better conditions than today's labs. I mean Amino-acids could even form in other planets like (early)Mars, or Europa. So that would be a piece of cake in Earth's utmost primitive sub-oceanic 'labs' It's just a bunch of configured molecules humping together. The fittest survive and then form proteins, then cells, your anchestors etc.

[5tonyvvvv]

@Neueregel "Well, early Earth had better conditions than today's labs"..HAHAHAHA..ive never heard such an ass backwards brain dead assumption like that..You Sir get the MORON award first place on YouTube..LOL...........I am laughing to hard right now..I cant type..

[5tonyvvvv]

@greekpanther1 Another 20 year old child trying to explain biochemical chemistry to me..lets hear more of your bullshit assumptions so I can laugh..You have made a great argument..lol..learn Homochirality..its probably a word you never heard or cant even pronounce.

[greekpanther1]

@5tonyvvvv ur a funny guy, because u try to find out how life cant exist without a god and the building blocks of life cant be created without a god however, all the building blocks you have of god is "faith" and sorry but thats not good enough.

[TheLydianRocks]

@5tonyvvvv you cant exactly be a mature or informed adult if you use terms like Atheist chemistry!?!? atheist chemistry did a hell of a lot more for us than alchemy ever did, faith is just an excuse to not be afraid of something we all fear, in the end you can act like or be a biological chemist all you want, doesn't mean other theories haven't been put forward that offer a much better explanation than a new age god, and you're an atheist too, you dont worship zeus or thor do you?

[5tonyvvvv]

@TheLydianRocks Do you know how unstable proteins and RNA are??..they break down under amazing conditions in the perfect solutions under the supervision of scientists protecting it,at just the right temperatures....so you really think a protein could survive on a poisonous toxic primordial earth.LOL..

[5tonyvvvv]

@TheLydianRocks No, abiogenesis would require an infinite amount of time but by then your protein would break down and fall apart ..even if they did form what would protect them in a harsh primordial earth? ?..plus where is your molecular machines?..to assemble information??..proteins RNA? and DNA are completely useless without out the enzymes and cytoskeleton...major paradox..you have assumptions ..just like the scientists you look up to..that have really no clue how life started or evolved!!

[TheLydianRocks]

@5tony how can you say that ? what do you know? you say "scientists that you look up to" and then start making scientific claims, have you been around forever? what do you know about infinite time? according to you scientists are morons, at the end of the day mate science has been right more times than the bible has been, beauty is science can be wrong and get it right, but the bible is eternal in its failings and that's why it will eventually dissipate, i wonder what the next god will be like

[dissidia123456789]

These women are amazing...how did they know to do all that stuff? and how did their ancestors know?

[Melizarra3]

Haven't tried them myself but I'd like to.

[pkyomama02]

hehe ants trying to run but them fat bois cant move

[krusokat]

arrrhg! oh my god! poor poor little poor Grubs! dont bake them alive! >:l crazy dumbheads!

[boihaggos1]

these people look like blAck hillbillys

[UTFRG]

@boihaggos1 STUPID FUCKING BRIT eat a dick dont fucking insult natives your country has allready taken their lifestlye culture lives and dignity

[boihaggos1]

@UTFRG aha what an angry fag blatenltly angry over getting no sex only fuck ups start arguments over nothing

[nab346]

taste like liquid barley sugar

[tolstoythegreat]

anything that tastes like egg and isn't an egg is something i don't want to taste :)

[DaEnglishGeeza]

Black people eat some really weird stuff...

[hyper10shun]

@DaEnglishGeeza hiya well as a black person all i can say is i think its due to our continent having some really weird and wonderful stuff. that grub is actually really tasty lol. the weirdest thing i have had is frogs in france

[Nagnora]

@DaEnglishGeeza They eat whats around, I eat oysters and that doesnt even ook appetizing, the ants do tho XD

[sujoms]

i wonder what is the reaction of these people when i show them some videos about cannibalism in New Guinea or Africa :D they would be like: oh those guys look kinda like us! :D

[AnubisEvalyna]

Male ant to his wife; "You've got a big ass, honey!" =]

[GoldenbanjoDJ]

seems like an awful lot of effort

[leeleebreaker1985]

The mears allways pretends to like whatever he's eating.

"hmm quite nice actually...a bit eggy".

"chewy with a soft centre"

He's be good on cadbury's adverts.

[Spirito2008]

@leeleebreaker1985 LOL funny stuff!

[nixnixnix33333]

all that digging for a few fucking ants

[MrKnuk]

@nixnixnix33333

crazy ants, thou.. xD

[kainick02]

were did they get the shovels if they live in the brush?

[RoboSlickProductions]

At least they're in the... kitchen?

[deadly1010P]

i am eating this as we speak :P

[fjbutch]

Lovely stuff...quite like these....,especially cooked...miss the outback ...

[EcoFascist]

Ray is respectful

[cameraguy1968]

Why is it so important to some people here how much these women weigh?

I really don't think they give a shit about fitting into Prada or some other worthless shit like that and why doesn't anyone mention how chubby Ray is?

[DoctorChainsaw]

@cameraguy1968 - I think they mention it because it is odd how women in a desert-dwelling hunter-gatherer society can be overweight.

[vangl34]

I don't know how these women can be so, pardon me if I offend anyone, fat when they can dig 4 to 5 foot holes with a stick? Must be all the high protein grubs?

[TheMeowmixpl0x]

thats pretty cool how they find all those weird ways to find food that no one else would think of.. Another thing i wanted to point out is it was a bit confusing to me that one of the ladies was wearing glasses, yet she was out digging for larvae to eat. :P

[fjbutch]

@TheMeowmixpl0x I guess when you've spent 60,000 years in Australia...you pick up a few things on the way...Amazing race of people ...

[onarix]

i always wanted to heat those ants

[malayrojak]

@onarix

Are you sure you mean "heat" and not "eat" instead?

[onarix]

@malayrojak yes its "eat"!!!

[MapleFreAkE]

hard to imagine that its more healthy that McDonald's : )

[groundballs]

these women are so fat.. must have eaten lots of ants and grubs!!!! lol

[ParraKoopa]

That larve at 0:51 was like " TRICK OR TREAT :D "

[partyhardy9867]

and cut

BBLLLAAHHHH THOTS FOCKING DISCOSTING

[GuruGosu]

their diet are high in protein and sugar... and it is visible from their sizes

[stillwaterusa]

@GuruGosu lol

[stillwaterusa]

@masterkiter89 spell check ??

[h4ppyh4rdc0ril4]

@tybash here's one from me

[oldcheesehead]

Nasty -_-



[ihatewonders]

amazing.

[LTF85199]

very interesting video

[ArebearFTW]

what kind of pokemon are these?

[khaostim666]

Now these are what you call real women, not the moany squeemish ones we have in our citys and freak out if they see a tiny spider... girls take notes on this video :P

on another note who thinks them grubs look like marshmellows? i relly want one haha

[DoctorChainsaw]

@khaostim666 - These women have facial hair...

[redbaron9874]

why does he get to eat the best and bear grylls gets the worse????

[paul14pendulum]

@redbaron9874 the hint is in the name..

[vuur150]

That.. Is fucking disgusting.

[Someaznkid301]

ive come to a conclusion that most worms have a eggy texture

[VoGosto]

how many ants u think they eat to get heavy?

[krusokat]

aww! poor worms! :( theyre are getting cooked alive! :(

[tim0090]

@krusokat

they're grub lol not worms :)

[Ibringthetruth1]

These people are amazing.

Now compare to American Negros who demand welfare checks and need the white man.

[dissidia123456789]

@Ibringthetruth1 screw you...

[elgrosmax]

he's so pimp

[IGotHacks]

ihhhhhgggghhhh!!!!!!!!!!!

[nixnixnix33333]

bear grylls would own this guy raw

[TheNAVeX]

Looks yummy

[MrFreskie]

they Shovel hours to hunt and eat a Little tiny ANT?? Whos ganna do that?!

[GMGvanS]

SHIT!

[CutestSelena]

WOAH!

[tybash]

i came to patrol for racist comments, none so far.

[TOASTTUBE1]

@tybash nigero

[alicea57]

@TOASTTUBE1 fuck you racist prick
