Well the first episode was pretty interesting but a bit 'light' if truth be told. Hopefully it'll improve as the series progresses.
What did you think of it?
What did you think of it?
i enjoyed it loved his little tent with stove any idea what it is?
As for "lightweight", I think this may be more of a taster to draw in the audience - they're not all as nerdy as our good selves!
It was a beautifully shot programme. For once I am quite happy in the unique way the BBC is funded as you can certainly see the money goes to putting stuff on the screen. I was disappointed in the lack of bushcrafting, but then I think I'm/we are biased and the majority of viewers don't want too much. Great stuff, and he is still using his red brick fibre lined antler jobby too. Gotta be getting on for five years old now. Looks after his stuff that bloke.
... i had to go sit in the spare room to watch the second half as the wife wanted to watch x factor
i was a bit dissapointed, i prefer it when he actualy demonstates bushcraft skills rather than just talking to people and duiscussing history. i appreicate why its important to him and other people but its of little interest to me.
i didnt even watch his "walkabout" series because it was far to light and dull.
imo his last great series was "bushcraft", i hope the rest of this series picks up and shows some skills.
the only true skill actualy shown was building a rudimentry shelter and a fire, and even then it didnt realy show you how he did it, it just cut from tinder to embers!

Erm, I thought it was chock full, of 'bushcrafting'
Once again; I suppose my idea of 'bushcrafting' differs from yours, which differs from someone else, which of course, differs again from the next one and so on
.
i agree it would be a repeat, but then again i watch Ray because of the skills, not for him taking to somone else. the show had some great shots, but it just didnt captivate me.He has made more fires in his programmes that it would be a bore to repeat yet another session, his ppast programmes are full of almost every way of firelighting, shelter building etc. I don't think you will see much of his skills being shown in the rest of the series.
