Ray Mears taught us how to eat, wash and sleep well, even in the most hostile terrain..Mears is like Diarmuid Gavin, Handy Andy and Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall all rolled into one. We are used to him collecting fresh water in hollowed-out fruit-bats, or squeezing natural toothpaste from a dead tarantula. But last night he was knocking up whole suites of furniture from bamboo, including benches, a large dining room table and a sort of four-poster bedstead with built-in candle holders. - Paul Hoggart, The TimesRay Mears is one of nature's own good guys: fearless, sturdy, caring, and he can also make a nifty canoe out of three twigs and a caterpillar. - Daily MailBy paragraph three of the intro you are itching to throw off the shackles of civilised life and plant your feet in the wilderness. If ever a book was calculated to invoke the call of the wild, this is it. - Live WireRay Mears is a bushman first and foremost and really can survive in any extreme environment. I can't think of a better companion in a crisis. - Tim Lewis, GQ
Born in 1964, Ray Mears has travelled the world studying and teaching the art of survival. As well as his TV and writing work, he founded Woodlore, a company which runs training courses in bushcraft and associated skills.
