Went to an evening with Ray Mears in Colchester last night. It was fascinating, for three hours he spoke about his travels around the world.
He demonstrated the hardship of Inuit life and how they find water, fish, and heat an igloo with seal blubber. Then after telling us about how people endure extremely low temperatures he talked about tribes in Namibia who live in temperatures that reach 53ºc! He also described his time with the aborigines for whom he has a great respect and also about the rainforests and then back up to north America and Canada.
His talk included some amazing photographs and then he took questions from the floor at the end. It was a right good night but I had a such a stiff bum at the end, the chairs were rubbish!
