Love Ray Mears. I never tire of watching, listening or reading him. He is a true gentleman of the Earth.

I find that most of his videos are calming

Production value is through the roof, they even employed a fly to prove Ray's point.

The best survival tip of surviving Sahara is never to go to it in the first place.

Daytime heat, no water. But stunning. Good video. Ray Mears ! When my dad trained in Desert survival, it was stressed that the desert wants to kill you and frequently does. Attitude , Water, Shelter, Signalling, Fire,

Ray Mears is probably my favorite presenter.

This guy is awesome. I'm going to be busy watching these for the next week. Thanks for the upload.

Great upload !! I like this show. The guy ain't all stuck up like most of the American hosts.

Also, the bit at the end, with Ray having a conversation with himself.

24:50 that moment when you speak of the devil and he comes marching on your face hahaha classic.

Absolutely loved this video, very interesting and informative!❤👍

Hehe, loved the chat at the end XD Talking to himself XD

Informative and entertaining. Well done.

ray mears is superb .!!

Haha, I love the ending!

If youre stuck with a vehicle, it might also be smart to remove the tires and burn them as a signal...this black smoke from rubber can be seen from miles away!

Had to watch it for school, but now I actually like it xD

What you really need is a Personal Locator Beacon. For anyone wondering why there was food and water still left on the Lady Be Good plane, the crew parachuted out when their fuel ran out and the plane carried on another 16 miles and was lost to them. That’s why they only had half a canteen of water. One of them died when his parachute didn’t open properly and the others were able to find each other in the dark with flares and pistol shots. They headed north but the really sad thing is that if they’d known where they were they could have gone south the same distance and reached an oasis. It’s also amazing that in 20 years their bodies weren’t covered by sand.

the one who died while his parachute failed to open was the luckiest one of the lot. I also wonder if they had pistols why didn't they shoot themselves when it became obvious (as it must have done) they were never going to have the strength to carry on.

Nice work, Raybert.

@23:50 "Ray Sun-bans" LOL

We were always told to make a large x shape indicating you need food and water and of course 3 fires and a triangle for sos. Ive done all the training in the military but fortunately have never had to put it to the test.

You ARE OB One Kanobe, Ray.

The Atacama desert is the driest in the World. I have been there in a car on the highway to the abandoned nitrate mines. When I think about it we were desperately under prepared if anything had gone wrong. We were fairly close to a highway and trucks on that road would have seen us but really even a few hours in that place in the open was utterly draining.

Always like this episode

24:55 that fly came in just on time

Les Stroud and "Bear" Grylls should have watched this before they did their desert tv shows. Never try to walk out.

Ray's Sunbans...groan....

thank you good one

thanks ray

In my own opinion Ray Mears is WAY tougher than Grylls...:)

Real good tip..have limited slip differentials :))

awesome thanks so much

Rule #1 driving Sahara:- avoid fesh fesh!

Just downed my water 😂

In my opinion rays mears is better at servival than any other servival experts like bear grylls and dual servival as they rush things to get the job or task done as quickly as possible whereas ray takes his time and thinks things tgrough thourorghly and thereforw males litpe mistakes. He doesnt fake senarios either - for example: bear grylls stays the nights in hotels except if hes doing something like a special weekend episode but ray mears does.

Parachutte is the most visable thing he's got, but it's camofauged! LOL

1-4: The Sahara Desert is dry because it has a water deficit (more water leaves than arrives). The Sahara Desert is surrounded by water (Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea) but the water does not hydrate the landmass. Water is kept out of Sahara by mountains along oceanfront. The minuscule amount of moisture eventually exits the Sahara Desert to the south and east as it is blown on the wind. Because of the preceding; Sahara is expanding to the south as evidenced by the now dry Lake Chad.

dude! you almost ate a fly @ 25:00! iuno why that disturbed me so much to watch... and he was talking about flies! is that irony? is it?!

I wish i'd known about P.E.T.R.O.L before i broke down in the dessert instead of being told to check : Brakes, O-ring, Luggage, Leads, Oil, Carpets and Kill Switch !

I'm still waiting for the survival part. You haven't even shown us how to get water in the desert.

Nice uni-brow.

Why no mention of using a mirror from the vehicle to try and attract attention from a plane [if you saw one ] or the chopper .....hopefully if there was sunshine to make use of it as a daytime flash light..

Ever been in a desert? try walking on sand dunes, it is a pain.

3-4: Further canal efforts from Chott el Jerid south and west into Algeria’s below-sea-level areas and also east across Libya to Egypt’s Qattara Depression will allow more surface area of water and thus more moisture to be deposited into the atmosphere. The water will return as clean fresh water rain which will encourage plant growth. The return of plants will be from the south in the opposite direct of its departure. Lake Chad will refill.

I'm concerned that your uni-brow might become self-aware and attempt to take over the world.

He is a lot tougher than Bear Grylls, Grylls is over the top, Ray Mears would find Grylls dehydrated because he would need 100 litres a day for all the energy he would use up running around in circles

Did he find the hidden sand village

Im getting a mono brow and a hair cut like a lego man too

No problem

21:47 I love the Obi Wan Kenobi reference.

At least: Laser pointer, signaling mirror, party streamer for making huge SOS sign. Best to bring PLB, Sat phone etc.

How about show how to catch fish

19:41 that's the technical term used by professionals. not dead or deceased. but very dead. you can still survive if your dead but if your VERY dead there's no going back lol

4-4: The concept of a canal system into the Sahara from the Mediterranean Sea is not new. A hundred years ago the French spent many francs researching this idea. For some dramatized discussion; read: Invasion of the Sea (French: L'Invasion de la mer) by: Jules Gabriel Verne’s book. To accomplish this will: Locally; bring water to many and along with water comes hope; Globally; allowing the water into Sahara will reduce the sea level a bit and a re-hydrated Sahara will reduce global warming.

If you are taking a parachute, wouldn't a nice high visibility pattern be better than camouflage? Good video though....

How manny times do you think they tried to get the fly at 24:53 to be on cue?? :D

Ive been asked if i was to chose a place to survive would it be the desert or at sea,, neither lol. But if i had no option but to chose 1 it would habe to be the desert, no sharks so have a sporting chance, not like id get eaten by a scorpion lol

It has it's own wiki page, no joke.

Damn that's a bad unibrow

the only desert i want to spend time in is LAS VEGAS, NEVADA!!

40 litres 2 days? Come on Ray we know your more resourceful than that!

moondancekid1 I disagree: at 8:25 it certainly sounds as if he says 40 litres, not 14, and even if it was an accent thing hard to spot for foreigners, just look at the tanks of water...if you've ever filled your fuel tank at a gas station you know they look way more like tanks of 20 lts each, not of 7 lts each... . Talking litres

@giammira

9 жыл бұрын

moondancekid1 Let me show it better: 1 litre is a cube of water (at 4 Celsius) of 10 cm side lenght, that is 1 dm side, given by 1 (dm) at the cubic factor = 1 (lt), so the reverse gives that 1 lt at the cube root equals 1 dm (side lenght of a cube of water). Same goes with 20 litres that are equal to a cube of water with side the cube root of 20 expressed in dm, that is slightly over 2,7 dm (2,7x2,7x2,7 = 19,68), which means 20 litres are contained in a cube of water of about 27 cm side. That looks the size of those tanks. A 7 lt tank would be a cube of water with side lenght slightly under 20cm (1,9x1,9x1,9 = 6,86) and those tanks are bigger than that... . It's somehow surprising how just 8 more cm (27-19) of increase of the water cube side lenght, that is less than half the side lenght of a 7 lt tank, mean an increase in water content of almost the triple (to reach 20 lt). Magics of cubic factors....

He must be having a shower every day and don’t forget he’s driving a Land Rover, he probably has to top up the radiator every hour. Note his crew are following him in a Toyota or a Nissan, so they can pick up the pieces that fall off his Landy.

phoneone, Thanks for your comment, brought back a memory from 1977, lol. I was stationed in Subic Bay, Philippines, CBMU-302. Had a Toyota FJ-40 and fellow Seabee was commenting on my locking hubs. Said he'd had them on his 4x4 and hated them because everytime we went 4-wheeling he'd get stuck and have to get out in the mud to lock them in, always got dirty, hated them. I asked him why he didn't engage them Before he needed 4WD, said i'd never had to get out and get muddy, always locked them in and shifted into 4WD when i needed too. He just stood there dumbfounded ( gobsmacked ). 7P principle: Proper Prior Planning Prevents Piss Poor Performance ☆
