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 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.

Tracks??? There were 48 odd episodes...

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.

Hi all,

I´ve taped 26 episodes years ago and converted them from VHS to DVD

1. Natural remedies: greater plantain/yarrow/meadowsweet/dock
2. Hedgerow food: chicken-of-the-woods/burdock/pignut
3. Elderberry cane/digging stick/bushmen’s waterpit & egg/tin can fishing
4. Birch: woodman’s tea/birch polypore/birch bark
5. Fire drill/sphagnum-moss egg cooking
6. Woodland shelter
7. Rabbit in earth pit
8. Water(filter)
9. Snow shelters
10. Cordage: nettle/tree roots/willow/’backpack’
11. Navigation in the woods
12. River crossing
13-14. Scotland: meadowsweet/horse chestnut/woodsorrel/dock/wild ransoms/´dagkoekoeksbl.´ (accid. taped over…)
15. Tracking wildlife
16. Beachcombing: edible seaweed
17. Fungi: utility
18. Canoeing: hogweed/water hemlock/comfrey
19. Flint knapping
20. Fungi: edibility
21. Salmon cooking
22. Cattail
23. Pine resin
24. Food for free: crab apple/sweet chestnut/beech nut/rosehip
25. Roving
26. Shellfish & noodles: cockles/razorshell/Alexander’s/beet

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

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.
