@phrankus2009 this plant is called Sotol and it grows in Mexico and Texas
-
@phrankus2009 Ray is in Southern AZ near the Dragoon Mts - Cochise Stronghold (near where I live). This is an excerpt from the video series Arizona Desert, which can be found on RitchiePowell's page. The Sotol plant is similar to an agave or yucca plant, but I don't believe it is classified in either family.
-
It's a member of the agave family I believe.

It would help if ...
We were told how the plant-name is spelled, as Ray's accent leaves me clueless. ...
It would also help if ...
We were told WHICH desert and the range/locations where this (mystery) plant grows ... hmmm ? ...
As it stands, All I know is that there is a plant that looks like an Agave or a century plant or like a Yucca or any of several other (American) desert plants. So glad that Ray has a clue but ... his little "show-and-tell" really showed me little and told me ?

@buttayhahahaahahah
Bear Grylls probably doesnt wear them because thats what the tv executives at discovery channel told him to do, since it adds some kind of tension or looks cool. If he had a choice he'd probably wear them.
Having gloves when handling thorny plants isn't a matter of being brave or manly, it's about being smart.

@hempheadfor20 Sounds like we'd better carry gloves even if we don't think an unexpected survival situation might occur! I know it's inane to say this, but Micheal Jackson had this aspect of wilderness survival DOWN! ;D
