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.

Born from a master carpenter, that shelter was pretty cool. The frame, the parts, the shaping is phenomenal in that situation.

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".

I would have loved to see the finished product. Amazing how quick they make a shelter that looks more like a true home!

Do you know what episode this is?

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.

I wish they would bring back Ray Mears episodes.

believe me, these knots are pretty strong. The hut they're making is called a 'paparisa'

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.

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.

the first video i saw with ray mears. Love this guy

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?

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. ~Frosty.

No medicine or hospitals, either. But I agree to a point, living in the bush is the life.

5 people who were lost in the jungle then found crying and shivering in the rain next to a tree disliked this video

this is real tight. that machete's like a razor.

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

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.

These guys are ingenius as hell!

I have a perang knife, very sharp, good for chopping or even fine cutting.

Man they are quick builders.

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

For the most tasks we use a simple machete and a small knife! The jungle provides the rest!

ray is the man ..............

beautiful

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

masters at work

Ok man.. tnx for your response.. Amatoo

how amazing

impressive building skills

Man these guys really know how to handle a machete!

We always used the Parang in the old days.. My for fathers are Alifuru people... This is in The moluccans... on the island Ceram

Respond to this video... Excellent video and good points for the A Frame and where to get fresh water.

Cool!

In Indonesian: "Perang" means war, but the word for machete is "PARANG"

Yes. Parang.

"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.

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

yup yup so true

Now that is some bushcrafting!

You have to use straw/grass and even water if you can get it.

here in iloilo, Philippines, we call this "binangon". our all around utility blade.

Good

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.

cool

wow theyre good

Sago palm?

@1buckshort yea it supposed to sound like PAR-RUNG, not PER-RANG

Does anyone know what episode this is?, It doesn't say in the description.

you have to buy it.

Need show titled "Making of a traditional Perang ".Nice shelter.

what will the quality be like though?

it's written on the title, is that also his accent ?

where can I buy one?

extreme sharp machete (parang) man best friend in jungle

Where did you have in mind?

@nantakana yes, Parang is the correct word.

i 1der wut they used b4 the machete? rocks ?

naturekid that is not a sword,, its parang.. just like machete.. used for chopping trees when you are in the jungle..

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.

Anywhere tropical mate, but I really love the Amazon

you mispelled they're

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.

damn these things aere sharp!

It would be if you had no other water source.

dibalo kisiera vivir asi :)

he spits the water out last minute if you notice at the end of the video.

some times when it's hot out a drink taste really bad.

Rite,not Perang but Parang...Perang means "War" in Indonesian/Malaysian.

The word "parang" is Indonesian or Malay, while in their tribal language it is called "Tunue" = Machete.

Ray actually said parang but you might be referring to someone else.

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.

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?

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'

Need a RUM vine !

parang should be pronounce like PAR RUNG..

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...

omg thats a beast of a sword

It is Parang,

it's like a man vs wild..

Probably axes like they use in Papua (Maluku and Papua are both West-Melanesian countries and have a lot in common)

Title says Perang Machete

i miss playing with the plant at 1:16 :)

they have uniforms

Perang can also mean war, well im from indonesia

And I have trouble putting up a tent....

Mimosa Pudica, Sensitive plant.

Better not eat them after use, just to make sure.

yach kamu kyknya emang original

Parang/golok/bendok/canduong

its parang... wat the hell...

Parang, not perang(which mean "war")

@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.

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?😁

that was a pro Parang, anyone know where i can get one? D:

I wish there was bamboo where I live
