I never tire of watching this man.

Rub clay mud on a small pig, hair and skin on, and cook in the same method in the ground. Break the ceramic, and enjoy a shining crispy skin as well as a meat falling off the bone. I liked the whole concept, regards, chef Andros.

Ray came out with us on exercise once. He was the most down to earth humble guy you could meet, none of the I'm famous shit just a cool bloke, if you had a bit of info your grandad had passed to you you about the wild he would listen intently.

the difference between Ray and Bear is that with Ray, you feel like you're actually learning something; like sitting down with an elder of the tribe

I swear, watching these videos makes me want to run outside as much as they make me hungry! :p Thanks for sharing the video!

i remember watching this 2 months or so ago, and i just spent the past 2 hours trying to find this video and let me tell you... it was worth it!

Yeah Ray is the man! I can watch his stuff for hours.

"Oh, that is fantastic!"

A simple leaf wraps & placement of food would have prevent sand & ashes getting into the food. Some local herbs would be nice too.

Incredible presentation. Learning a lot from you. Thank you.--Philadelphia,USA

Amazing channel! I love observing nature, explore and meditate...

I live on the west coast of Scotland and I have done seafood foraging, taste great.

Ray Mears... Gods gift to people like me.

fantastic way of life,love this,mate,thank you

Only thing i can say is that, our ancesters lived a good life. Fresh fish sea food everyday, birds, small medium and big mammals, berries seed fruit nut and mushrooms when it was in season. They where active all day long, walking running, working. This is how we are made to eat and live ;)

Polynesians been cooking in earth ovens for centuries. You heat the rocks until hot, food is usually wrapped in banana leaves or something similar. Then place food package on the hot rocks, put a whole heap of other leaves over it, then cover with dirt or sand to keep all the steam from escaping. Its basically a pressure/slow cooker.

I'd love to try seafood I found and cook it. There is in a way something romantic about it

I've only seen three of his videos so far, but (and no offense, I like him too) you just can't compare him to Bear Grylls...I mean Ray has just so much passion and you look at him and you don't see him eating worms uncooked just for the show...He does it so right...I really like his style! :)

Ray, thank you for the great video!

I enjoyed your post. In Hawaii limpits are called Opihi…Mahalo's for your post.

for sure mate he is great to listen and learn from

So many people with so many opinions. This is one way of cooking meat, not a video showing all ways to cook meat. Pit cooking has been around for so long and plenty of people still do it. It's also the perfect way of cooking large amounts of food at once without wasting heat and firewood like you would with grilling. It's a very basic way to cook and he's showing you how - I don't see why people make such a fuss.

Outstanding, my two faavorite foods shelfish and venison. I cold see how easily you bit into that piece of venison, it must have been soft. Top vid

good teaching and friendly, intelligible presentation, good looking eats too!

Really helpful video, thanks! I got so hungry watching this. :)

I really enjoyed your video; it very interesting indeed!

I wish had natural stone in Florida it so hard to do survival training here. Got to prepare for any thing war, Anarchy, Zombie apocalypse you just never know.

Very interesting video. Would not have thought to bury the shellfish, just lay them on top of the coals, flat, so they open and the juices don't escape. Very good. Now I know what to eat if lost on the western coast of Scotland (always wanted to go there, by the way...) I wonder if the fire carrying thing would work for other types of fungus. Really good tip.

Awesome video! Would have loved to been there.

Eating dirt (especially as a young child) is in some cases actually good for you whether you ate a few grains of just played about in it as it acts as a shield against ingested parasites and plant toxins. It also provides nutrients that we sometimes lack such as iron, zinc, or calcium.

i like ray! no busllshit no heroics just facts, met him once arfter a lecture, very understated humble guy. hopfully this year im going to start my instructor course with the guy that trained him, John Ryder (if funds allow).

So relaxing Ray..thx m8

Ray Mears is a legend!

RAY MEARS TOUGHT EM ALL! hes my hero.

man ray knows how to eat good! Good survival techniques in this too

Great video bud!

Amazing video thanks

We do a similar cooking technique here in nz, but it's called a 'Hangi' aka 'Earth oven'

Thank you. Very nice video.

That is more logical answer to my question. I like it and it is positive reply until now I got. Thanks buddy, thumbs up for you :-) In survival situation I will do this too now :-)

i want to see him and Bear Grylls have a survival face off lol

Pretty cool, & looks yummy!

In Ireland during the Celtic times it was a similar method but the meat was sometimes boiled in water in the ground it was called in the Irish language a fulacht fiad

What were you talking about at the very end?

very enjoyable

Hahaha... you do have a good sense of humor :-) I like it

i like this videos soo muchs i go on a week goo too the Beach and fisshing but now iam looking for some shels

He is still the best and most authentic source for this type of material. I know cos I have done it too and yes it is not hardship living though, if I'm honest, I don't care if I never eat rabbit again!

love anything done in nature positive

Middon mound. The ancient landfill. What will people think about our land fills in the future?

is there any way to tell whether a clam has been exposed to red tide?

So good

we call this a lovo in fiji, food is cook this way from 2 to 3 hrs depending on the size of the meat.

amen my friend

I’m Montagnards indigenous live in USA I miss the food cook with firewood it’s has flavor tasty.

Damn you Ray! I'm hungry now!

which series is this taken from?

That's some good lookin' chow there!

What series is this from? Can anyone help?

it looks so tasty, but would it be eating a lot of sands with it ?

@lovelySweetSakura: Thanks for clearing. I did not know about that :-)

Thanks for your reply. If there was no internet, I would not have been dealing with anyone the way I am here doing now. That eliminates the question of bad people pretending to be good. I own 5 dogs or actually they OWN me, so naturally I like pets and animals and humans too. I just felt that this putting living animals to fire is cruel. But it is good to talk with you and others, so I can see the other side of picture which i could not see from my own point of view. Cheers :-)

cockles and mussels herbs a sweet white wine heaven but roasted in dry grass just as tasty

Nice antler.

Thanks! :) And since you laugh at my jokes, that means you have a good sense of humor tooooo... ^_^

How is the fire kept in an air tight seal?

I really really want to know what is the location of the beatch？

oh god that all looked so yummy

greatttt!

a lot of work and wait for a snack. also, you don't bring a shovel?

Polynesians call this kind of cooking "Umu or Imu. Hangi in NZ. However these folks lack leaves to keep steam/heat in. But it seems to work these folks so it's ok. cheers

Yum

I want some now

yum

thats called as fresh as you can possibly get . the longer you leave it the worst it tastes and it giver time for bacteria to to set in. its most safe to cook em the freasher the better.

Cool

aah the bold ray! wot a guy! :D

Survive in the wild nice :D

Yummy!!!!!

dirt on top?

you can hear someone in the background laughing at 3:46... lol

I want to try a limpet.

The nomadic tribes of northern mexico, buried the meat too on the ground out in the desert, peccary boar, deer the natives of mexico also hunted small game and made bows with mesquite wood and the string from maguey fibers sadly the spaniards killed them

This vid made me hungry

it's a survival technics and organic foods that's how I see

Does everyone else get hungry watching this?

This is life lala la lala

Not bad

Right at the start...Is Ray cooking a baby Black Panther? o.0

Resourceful and beautiful fresh ingredients, but a terrible cooking technique. I'm gonna hate sands and char bits in my mouth. Wrap the food with leaves, seaweed. Cover with washed slates. Shells cook fast on top of clean hot slate or get indirect heat around it.

How else would you kill them?

I imagine the ashes lend a bit of saltiness to the meat?

Ow! I see the difference between Ray Mears and Bear Grylls... Ray cooks it first then eats, while Bear eat everything raw lol

not if they are frozen, but they all should be

He making me jealous

Those poor, delicious shellfish

You clearly care.

i think he cut out the razorfish catching part because it looked absolutely obscene :>

The food looks like it would have a lot of sand on it. Right?

them nho giai
