Interview with Ray Mears online

[DZ-Y]

Hi All,

On the website of the discovery channel you can watch a nice interview with Ray Mears. I had already posted it in a reply to Jodie's thread, but she suggested I gave it its own thread http://www.bushcraftuk.com/community/images/icons/icon14.gif
Thumbs up, so here goes

Bad web design on their part, I really shouldn't be able to see the link to the original file in my browsers DOM tree view.

I don't know what a DOM tree is, but am otherwise quite nifty with the old 'right mouse
click' business and basic URL tweaking mullarkey

I'll add this to my metalist, but in case others hadn't seen the downloadable
snippets from Woodlore...

Hover over 'Downloads' then click on 'Bushcraft Survival Video 1 clips'
to see clips from Aboriginal Britain, Africa Safari and Jungle Camp.

The url for the source file is displayed in the status bar when you mouse over the link on the site - along with a bit of script to force the window size etc.

 

[Jodie]

Heh you are absolutely right - there it is in the status bar; it must
have been there all along

Meet the author - Bushcraft Survival

I'm hoping to hear Richard Fortey talk on 'a natural
history of scientists' at the Royal Society on Jan 30.
Here he is talking about his 2005 book called "The
Earth: an intimate history":
http://www.meettheauthor.co.uk/bookbites/77.html

He used to be a paleontologist at the Natural History
Museum and, according to the oracle (Wikipedia)
is the new president of the Geological Society of London.
