I've a little inside info on the series, or at least one episode...
I was talking to John lord, who teaches flint knapping on Rays classes. He was asked to make some flint tools suitable for making a primitive bow. I think chris, Rays bow maker will demo how it's done. Should be interesting.
Oh, if your interested in flint knapping have a look at Johns site www.flintknapping.co.uk

A little more insider info... One of the programmes features a birchbark canoe being tested against the modern equivalent in Canada. Should be interesting stuff.
I could tell you how I know that, but then I'd have to kill you.

I am excited already it has been so long since his last series I've had withdrawl symptoms. My wife was a bit concerned when she saw I had written the first program on the kitchen calender (sad I know) but I didn't want to forget.

Ray Mears' Bushcraft
Thu 9 Sep, 8:00 pm - 9:00 pm 60mins
Aboriginal Britain
Ray Mears explores the world of Bushcraft, the art of living outdoors relying on a knowledge of the natural world. Tonight he travels back in time to the Stone Age for a unique view of Aboriginal Britain.
Using only the tools of the time, Ray shows how hunter gatherers survived here. From flint napping to bow making, Stone Age fire lighting to cooking venison, Ray celebrates our lost Bushcraft and encourages us to see our land in a new light.

Great to see Ray has a new programe out,seems ages since his last one.Really looking forward to it now. 
looks like there will be a lemming style mass suicide if the prgram isn't upto expectations
(In fact lemmings don't commit suicide at all once every four years or so teh plants they eat become poisonous so most of them die off)
