Jim,
I was born in Cuba and don't know who is Ray Mears. Can you give a little info about him?. Thank you

Ray Mears is one of my favorite Bushcraft/Survival experts.

I particularly like his series "Ray Mears' Extreme Survival" where he not only covers survival in different climates all over the world, but also does so from the perspective of a historical survival event that took place in the area. Also within these shows, as he did in "Ray Mears' Bushcraft Survival", he lets the area's people, the local experts, perform and tell a lot about the skills shown.

"Ray Mears' Bushcraft Survival" series is about the same but focuses more on the peoples of the area he visits, and the survival/bushcraft skills that the still use today. There are a few episodes with a historical bent.

I like both series.

When I finish all of Tom Brown Jr's books, I'm going to go on to read Ray Mear's books.

Sorry for going off topic folks! <img src="/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />
