This all region box set of two DVDs contains all of the programmes from the third series of 'Ray Mears Extreme Survival' as seen on BBC2. These DVDs include six x 50 minute episodes.
The programmes included in this box set are:
- 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.
- 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.
- ROGERS' RANGERS - Follow in the footsteps of Major Robert Rogers as Ray tells of their epic withdrawal through New England where Rogers' rangers fought off both the pursuing enemy and starvation as the seasons changed rapidly from Autumn to Winter.
- 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 shipwrecks, rescues and tracking.
- ALASKA - In January 1910, the steamship Farallon ran aground. The story of this shipwreck is as compelling as any and Ray tells of the crew's hardship and courage spent sheltering from the harsh conditions.
This box set also includes a special skills section showing the bushcraft skills that Ray applies during the series.
