My final point is that these programs are designed to entertain as well as inform. If you want to watch someone running around shouting "this is really dangerous" while eating live frogs,watch Bear Grylls. However if you want to see some aspects of proper bushcraft, watch Ray Mears. As long as you are enjoying yourself... does it really matter?

I've always fly-fished, but I dutifully went to the local shop and bought a spinner lure and a line and, lo and behold, I caught a 2lb trout in the local loch. It takes a while to get the hang of the casting technique, so that it doesn't chop the water too much, but once you have it's actually a very reliable means of getting fish. I still prefer otter-boards though, minimal effort so you can go off and forage while they are set.

Ray Mears is one of the most accomplished teachers of bushcraft in modern history. Not only has he attained worldwide knowledge across the last 25 years, but he also teaches the military the art of survival. A lot of what Edward grylls knows is from the teachings of Ray Mears. Ray Mears has also studied Judo for most of his life and by all accounts is pretty damn good at it.

@garrl007 Ray Mears shows what good ideas are and the value of good preperation. Bear Grylls shows us that drinking elephant shitwater and eating partly digested food from a camels stomach can get you pretty high ratings. In reality a lot of the things that Bear Grylls does are actually terrible ideas which can often harm you more than they would help you. Plus I appreciate that Ray Mears doesnt pretend to be survivaling. While Grylls does do that, even though he sleeps in hotels.

Bravo Ray. You may have saved a few lives. If folks reading this get stranded in the wild, they might just make it on what they saw here. I NEVER go in the woods without a good knife and a hatchet on a belt so they stay with me even if I slip and fall. My hatchet has a small saw in the handle and the whole thing is metal. No wood to break or split. With those I can make a shelter or a trap, cut firewood. Keep fish line coiled in a friction tape or snuff container. Dig worms for bait.

It's best to carry a line with you when you go out, you can make a lure from a piece of feather and a hook from a thorn or a couple of pieces of gorse back to back. At a push, you can make a basic fishing line from deer sinew but it's very time consuming so I tend to carry a fishing kit instead. if I had to catch fish from scratch, though, I would probably dispense with the line idea and build a fish trap, especially at this time of year when the rivers are low and full of young fry.

Love it ! I'm in a swamp not just any I'm literally in the Atchafalia basin area with in 5 miles of my home I have the gulf of Mexico, a 7 mile lake a river Bayou and swamp. Just with a bb gun I can harvest pidgions and other birds. Then there are turtles literally walking around. Squrrel you can take them and not leave the house. I rarely ever throw away a 2 litre bottle there just too many options for upcycle them. My first is emergency water few drops of bleach and date that bottle safe to drink for 2 years. Second a fish trap , not the monster you just caught but the minnows that can yield great fish. I need to learn the art of trout lines. Already know casting net use but they easily are damaged or lost to a hang. Also therr are wild hog deer rabbit and you get it , a22 lr is all the power you need to harvest every creature of the area. I have thousands of rounds for the weapon. Want to build some hello Kitty shotguns they are built from scrap and work. Build many test them and place them where you want especially places you might find yourself stranded.
