Any of his Ultimate Survival series is full of bushcraft as well as his Bushcraft series which explores bushcraft more than survival. Wild Food is set in Britain.

i like ray but you'll have to go back a bit to get some useful stuff.i feel he's lost his way lately.i agree the tracks series is good.

I watched bushcraft in sweden lastnight , hour long programme , inc - knife making , and making a stove out a pine log !!! I also fancy trying pine needle tea after seeing him make it ! The guy that make the skis out of pine was also really good to see.

48!? Any idea where to find them all? i watched the ones on youtube and i would say its the most useful show Ray has done so far. Especially as it was set in Britain!

I also agree about the comment where he has lost his way... any recent shows ive not enjoyed them really at all.

3. Elderberry cane/digging stick/bushmen’s waterpit & egg/tin can fishing
4. Birch: woodman’s tea/birch polypore/birch bark

I´ve got another DVD from a kind member of this forum with 18 episodes on it. Most of them are doubles (some with different editing though) but about 5 episodes are not on the first DVD, the sound of this second DVD is running progressively out of tune with the vision.

I don´t know how many episodes there can be found on the internet now but if someone wants to trade a copy of these DVD´s or better still, can put them on Youtube send me a PM.

Cheers,

Tom

Theres about 10 snippets of country tracks episodes on http://www.youtube.com/user/skyeandy1#p/u if anyone wants a watch!

 

[shortymcsteve]

Wow, would love to see these episodes! unfortunately i don't have anything to trade. I could help find other shows/dvd's Ray has done tho.

I found 10 eps of tracks here and also a few other episodes of different shows he has done.
