I like Ray. He provides a guide for what I think is the majority : People who are somewhat or properly prepared for going into the outdoors, who want to use bushcraft for fun and learning or who find themselves needed a bit of help in a survival situation. I love Les also, and Bear can be entertaining, but I personally can't imagine going out on a wilderness or sea adventure without proper preparedness like Ray has! Lol :)

I'd visited (backpacked) around Palawan about a year before this episode and was waiting with awe and glee to see Ray Mears reaction to this unmissable destination. Back in 2001 it was still perhaps 'The last natural wild frontier of The Philippines ', now sadly it's a proliferation of touts and dullards awaiting the next all inclusive excursion. Long gone are 'Go-Palawan', The Trattoria Inn etc, etc. So glad I went there, way before its popularity explosion.

Anyone who wants to read something fine should read Frank and John Craighead's "How to Survive on Land and Sea." About the time my first adult teeth were coming in I read the books of their sister, Jean Craighead George, about animals, and she has a few books for older kids, like Julie of the Wolves and My Side of the Mountain. A very outdoorsy family, and all biologists. So nice to see these guys on video! My Side of the Mountain (and sequels) is a gem in the survivalist-runaway genre.

If I had to choose which one I liked more it would have to be Ray. He is patient, kind, and very knowledgeable. I think he is considerate when he demonstrates how to do something. Meaning, he is thinking about the viewer, and how they can benefit from his videos, before he makes them. Both guys are really great, I guess picking between the two depends on preference.

I was taught when I was young that you take a brown coconut and place it small end up on a solid surface and drop a big rock or something heavy and it cracks the husk and the nut is easy to remove from the husk without cracking the nut. 20 seconds. It takes less calories to get to the food. The nuts that are sprouted into small trees are cracked open and the inside is like a course bread which can be eaten raw or cooked.

You don't need a knife to open coconuts. You need 3 rocks. 1. A holding stone, 2, a cutting stone, 3. a driving stone. Hold the coconut on the holding stone, place the cutting stone on the top, strike the cutting stone with the driving stone (like a hammer hitting a nail) This method works...

if you have coconut you don't even need 3 rocks. just find area that has bulge and hit it on side corner of hard rock. did this all the time in micronesia. likewise if you coconut is young enough you can just use your fingers to open up the eye, followed by opening rest of coconut with hands esp on young coconuts

A lot of people compare Ray with Bear Grylls like it's a competition, I teach my daughter that both men have a great knowledge of survival but present it in very different ways, Ray teaches you in depth skills and usually for staying in a certain region for a length of time where as Bear teaches you about quick fix survival whilst your on the move (military survival) Personally I prefer Ray as he was the first I watched and watched him for years before Bear came on the scene, Although I do like Bear as well and also Les stroud AKA survivorman, I teach my daughter that any knowledge from any source is always a good thing as long it's truthful.

Ray would be without doubt the best person to go camping with, and I don't doubt his survival ability at all. But while i'm at home and all cozy. i wan't to learn how to survive when it's properly tough. The first priority HAS to be water surely?! I want to see him find water! In that island... If i was stranded on this island, i'd probably eat the fish raw, because i'd be exhausted from trying to find water haha.
