Ray Mears

[Rusthall Seagull]

Is Ray Mears the coolest man in the world?

 

[Stat Brother]

I've heard he's a bit of a knobski, but that might just be pub talk.
Though I still have him down as a cool guy.

 

[Beach Hut]

I think he is great, good TV series

He runs courses in survival and tends to be very strict with those on the course. A friend of the wife went on a course held in Ashdown Forest, Ray explained how to make a fire, then asked everyone to try. Apparently one bloke ignored what he had been told and tried to do it his own way. Ray gave him a bollocking for not listening.

Having 'done' arctic survival I can say that Ray Mears makes the most difiicult of tasks look very easy. A1 bloke in my book.

 

[Locky]

Yeah very interesting TV series..................

 

[CHAPPERS]

I think he is great. Anybody that is so excited by nature gets a thumbs up in my book.

 

[Bigtomfu]

There's a reason why people should listen to him, he knows what he's doing and does it well.


Top man and quality viewing.

 

[Eggmundo]

Top Bloke but not as good as Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall.

 

[Tom Bombadil]

He's very knowleable and skillful at the hiding in bushes and eating twigs lark.

Thing is I've heard from more than one source that he's a bit "weird" in a Looney type of way.

You'd be a bit wierd if you spent most of your time out in the back of beyond ...

Do you mean Ray or Looney ?

 

[Rusthall Seagull]

Would love to go on one of his Artic Survival courses....Imagine being taught to build an Iglu!

Do you mean Ray or Looney ?

Must really suck to be politically obsolete. Oh and I live in a city.

 

[wolfie]

Survival eh ? Could he do a job /

 

[B.M.F]

what about Bushtucker man? He is a true legend

 

[wadhurstseagull]

ray Mears lives down the road from me - never see him in the village though - guess he doesn't need to use the local shops - just lives off the land.

On one of his courses you can pay extra for food delivered to the course - which I would have thought rather defeats the purpose of outdoor survival. Propably appeals to the corporate types though! Salmon sandwiches whilst being at one with nature.

 

[Louisjpbacon]

i'd like to see him install a windows 2003 network infrastructure !!

 

[Deportivo Seagull]

Do you mean Ray or Looney ?

Well Ray is a bit wierd because he spends much of his time out in the back of beyond, whereas Looney should be made to spend all his time out in the back of beyond.

 

[Marshy]

Ive had dinner with him, and i can confirm he is great company and a top bloke.
Very very interesting indeed.

 

[London Calling]

all of his stuff is nicked from native people, he is just a common thief making money out of indigenous people.
