- Ray Mears is in Indonesia to learn the importance a Perang (machete) holds for survival
This is a channel from BBC Studios who help fund new BBC programmes. Service information and feedback: www.bbcstudios...
I love that Ray was not about flashy entertainment and cared about doing it right and proper to educate people. Way to go Mr. Mears. I come back to rewatch these vids time to time.
Same
What Ray meant is that the water is hot, BUT it's still refreshing on the hottest day, I should know... I'm Steve Cortland the visual mixer on that BBC edit.
Born from a master carpenter, that shelter was pretty cool. The frame, the parts, the shaping is phenomenal in that situation.
"This watervine is packed with safe water to drink." -Spits it all out after....
Do you know what episode this is?
5 people who were lost in the jungle then found crying and shivering in the rain next to a tree disliked this video
I would have loved to see the finished product. Amazing how quick they make a shelter that looks more like a true home!
In sumatera we call it "parang", but in java they call it "golok". If you write "perang", in Indonesia it means "war" not "machete".
In the Philippines it's also called a "golok".
Bamboo in the tropics is alot different than bamboo in more northern climates.Bamboo here in Pennsylvania is hard as a rock.The bamboo in the video looks like a joy to work with.
believe me, these knots are pretty strong. The hut they're making is called a 'paparisa'
I wish they would bring back Ray Mears episodes.
He has done the odd new series now and again but not as good as the old stuff .
Just because they have a simpler lifestyle does not make them uncivilized. They are civilized in their own right, they have houses, laws, tools, etc; just in a simpler form.

Mears. Has been my hero since I was about 12. I'm 24 now and I still still hold the same opinion.
how about now?
It has been used in warfare for at least 600 years. All Malukuan ppl carry parang (also called 'mancado') in the jungle, it will save your life up there.
Those guys are very skilled, but I suppose it's because they've been doing that kind of stuff their whole lives out of necessity. I wish life was that simple around the world. It seems like it would be a very peaceful and fulfilling way to live. Nice vid.
Their jungle skills go nowhere in the city
No medicine or hospitals, either.
But I agree to a point, living in the bush is the life.
Parangs...
And yes they are.. These people where Head hunters in the old day`s and they still are..
My forfathers are alifuru people..
This is in Ceram in the Moluccan islands
Water moves up the xylem through a process called capillary action. Capillary action allows water to be pulled through the thin tubes because the molecules of the water are attracted to the molecules that make up the tube. The water molecules at the top are pulled up the tube and the water molecules below them are pulled along because of their attraction to the water molecules above them.
the first video i saw with ray mears. Love this guy
I have a perang knife, very sharp, good for chopping or even fine cutting.
Refreshing, ESPECIALLY on the hottest day, I would have thought.
Shut up
We always used the Parang in the old days..
My for fathers are Alifuru people...
This is in The moluccans... on the island Ceram
Yes indeed. It was at Ceram Island. Nusa Ina.
such a shame that technology has become so developed. Id love to have lived in the middle ages where there were no concrete roads, houses, cars, pollution etc. living in the bush is the life
I know these people , they are Nualu tribe from Seram island in eastern archipelago in Indonesia. these people is hard core don't mess with them or you will lose your head , that's why they called Headhunter Tribe and why the ISLAND got their name SERAM. in english SERAM mean Scary .. so in english is SCARY ISLAND
For the most tasks we use a simple machete and a small knife! The jungle provides the rest!
this is real tight. that machete's like a razor.
In Indonesian: "Perang" means war, but the word for machete is "PARANG"
Interesting fact: the male perang has a tip that cants forward. While the women's perang has a tip that curves or cants toward the spine.
The acid from cutting vegetation darkens the carbon steel blade thus helping it to resist rust.
The wooden scabbard helps to absorb moisture from the sheathed blade.
Rubbing sand into a a wet wooden stump creates an abrasive sharpening medium in primitive environments.
The word "parang" is Indonesian or Malay, while in their tribal language it is called "Tunue" = Machete.
Man these guys really know how to handle a machete!
naturekid that is not a sword,, its parang.. just like machete.. used for chopping trees when you are in the jungle..
I wonder if people realize just how crazy sharp those machetes are.
sharp yes, soft materiel yes. it makes a difference. use them in the desert. you would be in for a surprise. the wood is dence and hard. I used a collins in the Jungles of Panama for many years hunting with dogs for deer and pig. I kept it sharp and love cutting trail with it and many other things. I knew not to hit the hard woods with it. seems most the jungle is soft stuff and easy to chop through.
No sharper than a kitchen knife. Just that they’re so long & heavy with the momentum of a swing behind it.
"refreshing even in the hottest day"
Well, it looked like he didnt enjoyed it pretty much
you have never been thirsty.the vines with water taste good. cut above the loop on them then the top as high as you can more water held in the loop. good stuff. but then there are rivers to drink from. lol. never drink from the rivers.
Those natives are EXPERTS with those machetes! I have one & while camping damn near took my thumb off ! they make it look super easy. .. be careful S'all I'm sayin'
These guys are ingenius as hell!
here in iloilo, Philippines, we call this "binangon". our all around utility blade.
DAMN those are some nice machetes
I WISH I COUL LIVE LIKE THIS! FREEEE AND HAPPY. FREE FROM BURDENS AND OPPRESSION OF SOCIETY. WARE DID IT ALL GO WRONG!?
ray is the man ..............
Man they are quick builders.
extreme sharp machete (parang) man best friend in jungle
Ok man.. tnx for your response..
Amatoo
@1buckshort yea it supposed to sound like PAR-RUNG, not PER-RANG
Sago palm?
Respond to this video... Excellent video and good points for the A Frame and where to get fresh water.
Does anyone know what episode this is?, It doesn't say in the description.
It really is amazing the things those people can do with all they have. I would like to see modernized parts of the world having everything taken away from for a year. How many people would perish/live?
Ha..I would also. there would only be good people left. the rest,Well laying on the ground clutching their smart phone looking for uber food delivery with vultures over head.
Need show titled
"Making of a traditional Perang ".Nice shelter.
they go into the woods and consult with shaman, then after a sacrifice is made, Oogoolukko, got of metal (I know I know, some will argue Rob Halford is the TRUE god of metal, but i digress) creates this blade out of the basic elements of the earth. The other option is they go to the local trading post and buy/trade for one, produced locally by craftsmen, after all its just a machete.
@nantakana yes, Parang is the correct word.
thats because its not permanent and its made from stuff a few feet away unlike concrete and glass and wood paint wires metal plastic.... you know what i mean...
BBC,you guys screwed up the spelling.In Malay,PERANG is war,while PARANG is machete so the right spelling would be PARANG.Just switch the second letter from E to A.Still a good documentary anyway:-)
Probably axes like they use in Papua
(Maluku and Papua are both West-Melanesian countries and have a lot in common)
Indonesian call that Perang? Malaysian call it Parang. that hut looks strong can be use for a few weeks. such hut is troublesome, centipede and snake can hide inside and in tropical i don't think it's wise to sleep on ground
They don't live in hut, they live in village and wood house. hut is to stay in jungle when they collect cane, herb, or hunting. they just experieced hunter not clever nor dumb.
You have to use straw/grass and even water if you can get it.
yup yup so true
masters at work
Rite,not Perang but Parang...Perang means "War" in Indonesian/Malaysian.
Moluccan pride.. and Indonesia is trying to bring al of Maluku down..
with all outsiders like javanvese chinees people.. and let them mix whole of maluku up with their cultuur..
it`s a shame.. Moluccan people must be free with our own cultuur and believes..
Maluku merdeka!!!
Mena
Muria!!!
i miss playing with the plant at 1:16 :)
impressive building skills
I know, was just kidding.
Over here (Holland) there's no poison ivy.
Instead we've got giant hogweed wich can cause burning blisters just by accidentally touching the leaves.
dibalo kisiera vivir asi :)
@practicalwhacktical it is cuz he didnt let it run clear sorry for bad english
@warriorofsteel01 in bryan texas, they have this grove, beautiful bamboo. but even with a saw its hard to get through. and its not even that thick. you get the occasional wrist thicks but mostly they would make wonderful wonderful fishing poles. though truthfully a machete prolly could snick them. just didnt have mine at the time because we walked through town to get it.
Now that is some bushcrafting!
Anywhere tropical mate, but I really love the Amazon
beautiful
Yes. Parang.
Does anyone know a solid source explaining this? I've heard mixed information from many people with a lot of experience in the bush.
John "Lofty" Wiseman for instance, in his book SAS Survival, he says the top of the vine should be cut first.
how amazing
he spits the water out last minute if you notice at the end of the video.
its parang... wat the hell...
Good
Mimosa Pudica, Sensitive plant.
God, I hope I never have to see Ray Mears drinking water out of a vine again.
WOW that's EPIC lol
i wanna build somethign like that
i wanna play with bamboo :|
Not perang(war) it's parang mean machetes it's melayu culture from Indonesian or Malaysia
Cool!
Wow, how cool would it be to actually spend a night in something you improvised in a few hours? I think it would be interesting, anyway.
Perhaps pvc would work aswell?
Good luck in finding pvc in the jungle yeah..all the best 😆😆
i 1der wut they used b4 the machete? rocks ?
parang should be pronounce like PAR RUNG..
Better not eat them after use, just to make sure.
cool
@7Supernova7 yea, he did really spit it out!
you have to buy it.
Not "perang" but "parang"
@Jay M no no no.. you can pronounce it anyway you like. unless the word is "fused" into your dictionary, you can write it "pawrang" or "pereng" or whatever. but if you search "perang" in indonesian it means "war", someone will be confused if she/he wants to find more information about this.
Yeah..parang is the correct word..perang means war in malay language..if u used the Oxford dictionary, the term parang means malayan machete..malayan means the people of malaya, the malay people or "orang melayu" in local language, malaya term were used to described the peninsular Malaysia long time ago..and yes we use the parang in our 'perang'(war) but we don't use our 'perang'(war) in our 'perang'(war)..see the difference?😁
hahahahahahaahahahah so funny
how he looked at the camera lololololol
Parang/golok/bendok/canduong
Perang can also mean war,
well im from indonesia
It would be if you had no other water source.
"Refreshing even on the hottest day." Wow.. can't get anymore stupid than that.. Honestly.
'being civilized' comes with its own problems.
@TheCrashesshit yeah in a split second you can see something that looks like water come out of his mouth,but it may just be our eyes.
it's like a man vs wild..
Where did you have in mind?
wow theyre good
did he really drinks from the water vine? looks like he spits it out & pretend to swallow..
@losermantega just look up ray mears spice islands. youll find it no sweat.
