February 16th, 2010 at 3:12 pmUnder all these other circumstances you would be allowed to take a knife and matches and usually do. But there are controlled environments like getting on a plane. I was just curious. I like the idea of surviving in the wild, but lets just recognise that if we get lost hiking and have not taken a knife and flint, what is the solution….if there is one.

February 16th, 2010 at 3:12 pmthat is defanitly not the only way u could get caught in the wild
u could get lost on a hike (it happens all the time)
ur atv could break down in the deasert.
if ur rafting ur boat could flip
there is are endless possibilities of ways to get caught in the wild.i strongly disagree with u “catalyst”

February 16th, 2010 at 3:12 pmWell Dakatt, I wish he would show us what you are telling me, because if it is illegal to carry a knife in public and the only time a person would get caught in the WILD is if their plane crashed – and it is illegal to carry or store a knife and Machete on a plane – then flint and other stone is the only stuff we would have. Real survival is knowing this and finding that first. Everyone on here slates me, but they probably believe in the tooth fairy also.
Ray is okay, but he has a knife.

February 16th, 2010 at 3:12 pmWhat would Ray do without a knife? Well this … watch?v=vPk28DiIWPU. Flint is by no means rare. It is formed from quartz, the second most abundant mineral on Earth. If he can’t find flint then most types of chert will do the same job to a greater or lesser degree.
You can’t knock Ray, he could survive in your world quite easily, I doubt you’d last very long in his

February 16th, 2010 at 3:12 pmif your dumb enough to go into the bush without a knife would be a problem but everyone does take a knife so stop bitching about it.

and you can make “knives” from broken pieces of flint or other rocks -

February 16th, 2010 at 3:12 pmAlot of Rays knowledge is learnt from tribal peoples who actually live in these conditions (and yes, a knife or machete is essential to their survival). Rays show is modelled on hunter/gatherer techniques is better suited to real bushmen and /or hunters.
Bears program is not so much about living in the wild, its about getting out of it as quickly as possible. Thats where these 2 differ. With Ray you could actually live in the bush. With Bear its about getting out as quickly as possible.

February 16th, 2010 at 3:12 pmFlint is a rare stone and does not exist everywhere. Hmmm!! Ray Buddy! You are a little scuppered if thoust doth loose thy blade.
Anyway! I’m sure Mr Mears could pick up any ole item and squeeze it so hard in his manly hands it would become as hard and tense as flint. Then he will pop the squeezed material between his well-toned bum-cheeks and pinch it into a razor-sharp edge.
Ray is Lord of all!
All praise Ray!!
Aouuuuuuuuu!!! Aouuuuuuuuuuu!!!
