Ray Mears - The importance of the outdoors | OUTSIDE & ACTIVE PODCAST

Over the past two decades the name Ray Mears has become recognised throughout the world as an authority on the subject of Bushcraft and Survival. He has also become a household name through his various television series, including Tracks, World of Survival, Trips Money Can’t Buy with Ewan McGregor, The Real Heroes of Telemark and many more.
These programmes have reached out and touched the hearts of everyone, from small children to grandparents. They are enjoyed by many because of Ray’s down to earth approach, his obvious love for his subject and the empathy and respect he shows for indigenous peoples and their cultures.
It is obvious to some, and a surprise to others to discover that Ray has spent his life learning these skills and is truly a master of the subject he calls Wilderness Bushcraft.

A fantastic conversation with Ray Mears, His comment of having something to spark a love of the outdoors is incredibly important. He started my love when I was a small lad watching his shows on a Sunday Evening on the BBC!

[@JackSmith-kp2vs]

If only we had leaders who had the mindset of Ray Mears

[@Mark-vg9vu]

Really enjoyed this. As someone in my early 30's i really can appreciate the knowledge that Ray holds and has developed. The series around Aboriginal Britain are so interesting and if this could be shown to young people in schools or adults it will help give us all a hightened sense of belonging and appreciation for this place we call home. Keep up the good work!
