Bush Tucker Man – The Collection, brings together all of the Bush Tucker Man stories ever filmed.

Major Les Hiddens (aka The Bush Tucker Man) became a household name in the 1990s when his television show hit Australian screens. In a battered army truck, Hiddens sought out and recorded the different types of bush food and medicines used by Aboriginal people for thousands of years. Having been a bush survival expert for the Australian Army, Hiddens travelled vast tracts of uninhabited Australia from Cape York to the Kimberley, taking viewers on an entertaining and informative journey across rugged and inhospitable terrain.

Revisit the television show that inspired the imagination and became a treasured part of Australian culture with the laconic and likeable Bush Tucker Man. Includes all episodes from Series 1 and 2 and all episodes from the ‘Stories of Survival’ series.

WARNING: Aboriginal viewers should exercise caution when viewing these DVDs as they may contain images of deceased persons.

He then travels to the spectacular Ardeche Gorge in France where he gains special permission to take to his canoe and demonstrate spear fishing.

Ray shows viewers how they would have cooked a deer in a huge pit and then demonstrates how they would have preserved the meat by smoking it.

Survival With Ray Mears. Region 2 (UK and Europe), PAL format. 3 May 2010, 144 Minutes.

The iconic TV series Survival returned to our screens this April, hosted by none other than Ray Mears. This brand new series comprises of three hour-long programmes, focusing on Ray's extraordinary animal tracking and wilderness skills.

In this ground-breaking series, Ray sets himself the ultimate challenge: to track the world's top predators. Ray uses his expert tracking skills and extensive wildlife knowledge to follow the leopard in Namibia, the bear in British Colombia, and the wolf in Central Idaho.

By reading the clues these animals leave behind, he offers viewers the unique opportunity to gain a rich insight into their habits and lifestyles, as he follows them at remarkably close quarters in their natural habitats.

Survival with Ray Mears brings to life the skills Ray has in a truly exciting and compelling way: there are tears after a wolf he has been tracking for several days dies; moments of genuine danger as a bear appears at just 20 feet away; and a lifetime highlight of watching leopards at night.

Underpinning each film as Ray tracks the animals is a sub-plot focusing on the current state of each species, and the threats they now face: in Idaho the crew arrives with only days to countdown before the wolf’s status as a protected species is lifted, and local farmers indicate their intention to begin hunting them; in British Columbia the impact of global warming on the salmon population is felt by the bear, which relies on the fish as its main food source; and in Namibia, the uneasy co-existence between leopards and local farmers keen to protect their livestock, is highlighted.

Each film stunningly showcases some of nature’s richest playgrounds, set amid breath-taking scenery, which are home to an array of wildlife beyond the species being tracked.

Survival in 2010 brings back a most prestigious and popular brand, building on the classical animal storytelling of a series that broke new ground in wildlife documentary-making from its first transmission in 1960. This time round, the series clearly illustrates the all-consuming passion one man has for the world’s wildlife, and his commitment to helping us understand more about them.

For over 20 years I've been exploring the wild outdoors and what fascinates me more than anything, are the secret lives of wild animals. When I learned how to follow the clues that animals leave behind, it opened up a whole new world of understanding. And in this series I'm putting my skills to the test by tracking the world's top predators. - Ray Mears

Fire Volume 1 — The Rediscovering the Old Ways Series. NTSC format. I think it's regionless and if I remember correctly its a DVD-R (a home-recorded DVD).

This DVD is what it took for me to make my first friction fire, a bow drill fire. Though I did not have this website to help me out. I had read several books about it and even seen it done in the odd video or two, but I didn't get a fire myself until watching this video. It's the best firemaking video I have seen. Fire Volume 1 covers the bow drill fire, hand drill fire, and flint and steel firemaking.

There is also a Fire Volume 2 DVD but the methods it covers are not nearly as useful as volume 1, and I wouldn't bother with it unless you are a real fire geek.

The following review comes from the Wilderness Awareness School site: This DVD is an excellent step-by-step guide to creating fire.

If you are inspired about making fire and are looking for a clear “how to” video, this one is for you. Tom and Glen of the Midwest Skills Institute are clear and detailed with their instructions and demonstrations.  

In this Volume they cover fire lays, flint and steel, bow drill, and hand drill. I really like how they detail three stages of learning for each method: first at home with modern tools and supplies, second with a knife and whatever you can find, and third truly primitive with no modern materials.  

You need every advantage when learning to create fire the old way and these guys make it accessible even if you live in the city and don't have access to woods. The instruction is geared toward the beginner, but there are lots of hints and gems for the experienced fire maker.  

I learned several new things from this video including how to use a two stick notchless fireboard with bow drill.  The flint and steel section has great hints and information that I have never seen before. Tom and Glen are not inspiring actors, but they clearly have tons of dirt time and experience teaching these skills. Fire Volume 1 is a little cheesy at times, but the picture and sound quality is excellent and the relaxed down home style is effective.  

I recommend this DVD to anyone who wants to learn primitive fire skills at home.

Content Highlights:

• Excellent fire lay building instruction
• Flint & Steel (clear explanation of technique and great char cloth making tips)
• Bow Drill (at home, with knife, full primitive)
• Hand Drill (at home, with knife, full primitive)

NEW: National Geographic's Doomsday Preppers Season 1 DVD (3 Discs). Region 4 (Australia), PAL format. 20 Feb 2013, 540 Minutes.

These are really interesting viewing. They're quite hyped with fast cutting from one scene to the next, and loud adrenalising music as would be expected from a mainstream TV series that's meant to be both education and entertainment. Not everything they do is always the best thing to do, and of course in many cases what's best to do is a matter of opinion. There are countless ideas to be found in watching them, many of which you probably wouldn't have thought of.

From the publisher: "Post-Apocalyptic Living at Its Best. Whether your greatest fear is nuclear attack, worldwide flu pandemic, or just a run-of-the-mill rapture it does not hurt to have all the loose ends tied up before society crumbles; one group however takes preparations way beyond a few cans of baked beans in the fallout shelter. Meet the preppers: seemingly ordinary people who spend their days learning survival techniques, stockpiling vaccines, building safe-houses and generally just getting themselves ready for the grimmest show on earth: the end of the world as we know it."
