@kf9na survivor man is doing real survival. this is bushcraft. a shovel and an axe? what are the odds youre going to have any of those in a survival situation?
@kf9na the dude that always drinks his own piss even though its completely unecessary to do so in the particular situation he's in. LOL dudes a fucking faggot XD drinking piss. he even put a tube up his ass and put piss into his ass LOL fuck
Ray Mears is coming to Ontario Canada in June 2012 to teach a Bushcraft course. As far as we are aware, this is his first time teaching in North America. There are only 25 spots available. If you are interested contact us for details!
If you can see his breathing or not does not define the cold, and if you came up here you would freeze your fucking balls of you as soon as you step out of the plane.
@DesertEagleV heard that. while my preffered stompin grounds are woods. ill be the first to admit id suck in artic conditions, Im a texas boy. what people dont get is survival is just that, survival. eeking out a way to live. bushcraft is taking it to the next level with some gear and a good bit of knowledge making your own way, camping is virtually no skills other than building a camp fire because you have a tent and all that other good stuff.
He's using a fire steel to start the fire?? C'mon! That's cheating!! What kind of survival expert needs that?? Not saying he's not knowledgeable but why doesn't he teach us something about how to start a fire?? I mean isn't this show supposed to teach us something? Anyone can start a fire with modern tools,, might as well just use a lighter!
@tecnolover2642 because he's trying to teach you that if theres a chance this situation may arise then you must be equpped to deal with it you dummy. if you were going to the arctic you should be taking suff like this with you.
What???! Dude, I can't even argue with you. YOu have no concept of what survival skills are about. How old are you anyway? You just proved every point made! with your own words,, "You should be taking stuff like this with you.." Why on earth would person be carrying around camping gear?? In a survival situation the whole point is you DON'T have that stuff and you have to deal with it using what nature provides!! OMG! why is that concept so hard for you to understand??
When you don't know how to reply, just call the other person an idiot right? ,, that really says a lot about yourself and your maturity. Thanks for reinforcing my case.
@tecnolover2642 reinforcing fuck all you complete knob, its common fucking sense to prepare yourself with equipment to deal with harsh environments, you stupid, pea-brained arsehole. Heres hoping you fucking perish in the arctic, spastic of a man.
@senef9d by eating the snow you will lower your CORE body temp. Meaning your normal body temp. Is 98.6•f and by putting the colder snow in you body you run the risk of hypothermia, so by melting the snow the warmer water keeps you CORE temp higher thus staving off hypothermia and freezing to death, hope this helps
People keep comparing Ray to Bear and Les. Bear shows us how to stay alive and get out if you find yourself lost and desperate. He has an aggressiv approach as he's trying to walk out of there. Les shows us how to get stranded and how to survive while you're waiting to be rescued. He makes more permanent shelters and wait it out. Mears shows us how to enjoy the wild rather than fight against it. He doesn't put himself in dangerous situations but he gives you the basic knowledge & skills you need
Man vs Wild is more for entertainment than Survivorman and Ray Mears (Who's able to run up steep hillsides and climb mountains when they've gone without food and water for 3 days?) Survivorman basically making the best of it and waits it out (Smartest thing to do IF people know where you are.) Ray Mears shows us bushcraft, survival, history and more. It might not be your idea of extreme survival but it's educational. Knowledge, creativity, skills and positive thinking is key to any survival =)
the egg in minus 30C is amazing, so is the banana. Those tempuratures are very dangerous if you don't know what you are doing, the smallest things could have devastating impacts. Con-see-qwen-says are ded-lee.
To people like the guy below who say "but who would have all that gear in a survival situation?" Why the hell would you ever go into the wild without that gear? Yes, in this show Ray has an axe, a knife, a fire striker and even a shovel. That's because Ray is smart and knows that without this gear setting up a camp and taking care of yourself will suck, and you may die. Don't sky-dive without a parachute, don't go into the northern woods in winter without an axe, they amount to the same thing.
I've never heard anyone refer to northern Sweden by "the arctic". And for a britt, he doesn't look very troubled by the cold. His cheeks and nouse should be flushed and having his fingers out for more than a few secounds in minus 30 should be a real pain. It should be even be troubling in minus 10 for most people. That's my experience anyways.
@Dejavo I usually go in T-Shirt in temps down to about -7. I do wear gloves if I'm exposed for longer periods of time though as my blood circulation is terrible in my hands :(
@Dejavo The thing is that below temperatures are more dangerous as you don't feel the -15°C dry cold as much as a damp 2°C. -15°C isn't troubling at all. Even 30 is okay as long as you're not wet. That's why sweating kills.
@theshortfuze Ray Mears is not trying to replicate a survival situation. He is camping in an extreme enviomrent with minimall equipment. So please stop trying to belittle an amazing person.
well, your wrong, and about my comment, im somewhat used to cold weather and i can tell you that when the temperature hits 30 degrees below zero you can definitely see it..
Arctic is quite flat. When the snow and ice melts in the summer months the water has nowhere to flow to. The permafrost under the soil keeps the water from sinking into the earth. Lots of wetlands; pools of shallow still water; prime breeding areas for mosquitoes. Almost constant sunlight in mid-summer can raise the temperature dramatically turning still pools of water into instant incubators. Pools of still warm water are rich with organic material, a plentiful food supply for hungry larvae.
If mosquitos are trapped in the ice, they could come out in the day time if the snow melts. But well... you're probably talking about the mosquito head net Ray is using to melt the snow. He almost always take it with him for several other purposes. It's feather light enough to take it anywhere. Sorry if it was your joke...? Maybe I've answered you too seriously.
@dannythepetrock There are no flies or mosquitos up here in sweden during the winter.. No chance..
But during the summer they can be almost unbearable...I think the best time to be out in the woods or mountains is in the autumn..Like late august and september...
@dannythepetrock I wouldn't have thought you'd get them in winter, but I don't know that. Ray does that kind of thing a lot though - makes use of things on all sorts of different ways, regardless or their true intended purpose.
the thing with ray is that he makes it look easy AND enjoyable. les stroud always seems like hes miserable but surviving is simple and bear gryls looks like hes having a huge amount of fun doing things the hard way...
lol i have spent a lot of time off tailing hiking here in canada, and 7 days o the northern mosquitoes will make anyone miserable >.> that being said, i respect both ray and les... =D
It's looks easy because he's not really alone... both Mear and Grylls doesn't need to starve like Les. If you're starving can you do many things? Specially Bear what he does is all set up... He has crews that helps him like building a raft and etc you can see in other youtube he's poser!
Plus the fact that Ray doesn't need to carry more than 30 pounds of camera equip unlike Les who is a one man crew! See... So both Mear and Bear are doing are stage but Mear admits he is just showing survival.... Les is actually doing survival while Bear and Mear are just showing there's a big difference on it... It's like really jumping from one building to another without CGI or other effects....
@ridler2012 you follow Les Stroud and your dead in days, watch his shows he give out VERY little actual information and actually breaks many basic survival rules eg eating snow/ice, in one episode he even burnt down his shelter by having a fire too close.
@ridler2012 It's about teaching survival and not to try to survive. Lars is a survival expert and renound as the best in arctic survival, Ray is his personal friend and has been tought by Lars. So there's no doubt at Ray's ability to survive but it adds nothing to the education if he was stranded alone. Most likley reverse.
Look at les, he did the forbidden thing of eating snow in the episode where he was surviving by a crashed plane. He had a fire and all the metal he needed to melt that snow.
wow, 3 posts saying nothing i didnt already know. i was commenting on the apporaches/attitudes of the 3 presenters. i didnt even say i liked bear though he has been through tougher challenges than the others so i respect the idiot for that but i dont think hes great.
