Synopsis
Ray Mears has spent his life developing a brand of survival skills he calls Wilderness Bushcraft--a philosophy that humans should live closer to nature, as the Bushmen do.
His journeys have taken him to the farthest corners of the earth, encountering indigenous peoples who embody his philosophy and live in tune with their natural environment. This volume collects the third series of his television series Extreme Survival, in which he demonstrates his wilderness skills and shares amazing tales of survival from some of the world's most menacing environments.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nice, 19 Aug 2003
By A Customer
Ok Ray Mears is truly an expert in survival techniques. This DVD is excellent. The only reason this didn't get five starts is because in this series Mr.Mears seemed to concentrate more on stories of survival than the survival techniques themselves. Apart from this the DVD is top notch and i really enjoyed it. If you are going to buy a DVD of Ray Mears though i suggest buying the combined series 1 and 2 where you will learn alot more and which were even better than this one.

4.0 out of 5 stars Interesting tales of survival..., 16 Nov 2006
I like the fact that this series concentrated more on the stories of survival - there are some very moving and interesting tales.

Ray Mears - Extreme Survival 3 Episode Guide:

Belarus - Ray travels to Belarus to meet with some of the surviving partisans of the Second World War. For the Jewish partisans, the forests of Belarus became a sanctuary and weapon in their fight against oppression.

Roger's Rangers - Journey to New England and follow in the footsteps of Major Robert Rogers and his rangers. Ray tells the epic story of the Rangers' withdrawal during which they fought off both pursuing enemy and starvation as the seasons changed rapidly from autumn to winter.

Alaska - In January 1910, the steamship Farallon ran aground. Ray tells the compelling story of this shipwreck, of the hardships endured by the crew and the courage they showed whilst sheltering from the harsh conditions.

Namibia - This arid coastal area, known as the skeleton coast, is one of the most inhospitable environments in which to survive. Meet with the indigenous Bushmen and encounter tales of shipwreck, rescues and tracking.

Thailand - From the comfort of a jungle base camp. Ray tells the story of survival during the Vietnam War and meets with the first United States Air Force pilot shot down during the conflict.

New Zealand - Ray visits several Maori tribes, encounters tales of survival and hardship, and learns of the many skills which are now being used to encourage the young to develop a more positive attitude to life.

However not sure why this single series (#3) is currently more expensive than series one and two combined? Would also be good to see Ray Mears most recent programmes come out on dvd, as well as the excellent Tribe TV series with Bruce Parry.

4.0 out of 5 stars The TV series, but not quite, 28 Aug 2003
This is a DVD of the televsion series which I thoroughly enjoyed. However there has been some editing, as much a five minutes has been trimed of some episodes. In addition although on the menu it lists additional skills features these are in reality just clips already within the episodes, no new material at all. The previous reviewer criticised the series for its lack of skills, which in part is true, but rather this DVD tends to show a particular enviroment and place skills within the region.
