That's coz he spend's his nights in the nearest 5 star hotel.. Dunno why he even bothers carrying them unless he uses it to slice his after eight mints left on his pillow..
Anything he 'constructs' is pre-prepared and dismantled for him.. kinda like a wardrobe from MFI..
The guys a fraud...
Don't believe everything you see on TV.

He is a great outdoors man. 98% of what he teaches on his show can be learned by reading the SAS survival handbook. Sometimes I swear he is reading straight from the book.

Neither would i, but there is a certain element of the survival culture that has... "extremist" values, in that - what you eat you find, what you build you take from the earth, what you see is what you see.
Naturally, they're the types who would hate on Ray ..

'Bear' is always scaling cliffs, jumping chasms,wrestling 20ft gorillas or snakes or whatever.. and eats eyeballs,drinks urine and crud to survive.. hmmmm(or does he? .....
Ray Mears toddles about the forest picking fungi,berries,carving pots and cups,steaming fish and veggies.. ie generally having a laid back time... AND he manages to eat enough in the wild to have a 'spare tyre'.. (he eats his fair share of inedible stuff for real)
Who do YOU think would survive the longest?
