Podcast appearances and mentions of Ray Mears

Welcome to the latest episode of Fratello On Air! This week, we imagine certain current brands as independent watchmakers. The topic was a lot of fun to discuss and came as a suggestion from two of our listeners. Enjoy the show!Most of today's watch brands belong to large groups. Undoubtedly, this helped many survive the Quartz Crisis during the '70s. However, what if some brands went independent? In today's episode, we envision several companies on their own and what it would look like.HandgelenkskontrolleWe start our show with a bit of DIY talk. Then, Balazs mentions a recent auction of Kobe Bryant's debut jersey. It sold for US$7 million! For the Handgelenkskontrolle, Mike is wearing a watch that can survive all the yardwork. It's the Citizen Promaster Tough "Ray Mears." Balazs met with a mutual friend from Swatch Group Germany and is sporting his Omega Speedmaster Professional Speedy Tuesday "Ultraman."Current brands going independentFor our main topic, we respond to the request from two of our listeners who asked if some brands could benefit by going independent. We do our best to tackle the subject and mention five marques. Cartier is a huge brand and could likely survive on its own, but we're not sure if there's a benefit to being alone. Longines is a brand that made world-class movements long ago, and we'd love to see some of the classic chronograph movements again. Omega, like Cartier, could likely survive as an independent, and we play out the possible scenarios. Finally, Vacheron Constantin and Panerai make the list as possible spin-offs.We hope you enjoy the show, and thanks to our listeners for the suggestion! If you have ideas for future episodes, please let us know!

O bushcraft tem suas raízes em várias culturas ao redor do mundo, mas sua prática moderna é fortemente associada às tradições indígenas e às habilidades de sobrevivência usadas por exploradores e colonizadores em ambientes selvagens. O termo "bushcraft" foi popularizado na Austrália, onde "bush" se refere a áreas selvagens e rurais, e "craft" se refere às habilidades manuais necessárias para viver nessas regiões. Entretanto, habilidades semelhantes foram desenvolvidas em regiões como o Canadá, Escandinávia e América do Norte, onde povos nativos e colonos europeus praticavam técnicas de sobrevivência, como construção de abrigos, caça, pesca, e uso de plantas para alimentação e medicina. A popularização do bushcraft como conceito mais amplo veio com autores como Mors Kochanski, no Canadá, e figuras como Ray Mears, no Reino Unido, que ajudaram a disseminar o interesse por essas práticas de sobrevivência e conexão com a natureza. . .

EP60 - Faizan Shah - Nine LivesJoining us on the AllMadeUp sofa is comedian - Faizan ShahBritish soldier Esteban has been stationed in Mongolia for the past two years, on a critical mission to uncover the reason pets worldwide are turning on their owners. The first signs of this eerie phenomenon appeared when a Mongolian tribesman noticed his normally docile horses growing increasingly restless. Soon after, another tribesman was found covered in bite marks from various animals. Now, Esteban is hot on the case, armed with unlimited resources provided by WWF CEO Rick Flair. Wasting no time, he assembles an elite task force of renowned survivalist Bear Grylls, bushcraft expert Ray Mears, and none other than former U.S. President Barack Obama. His team sets off across the rugged Mongolian plains, embarking on a perilous journey to uncover the root of the animal madness. In a race against time, Esteban and his team must use all their skills, intelligence, and baby oil to put an end to the global chaos. This is an AllMadeUp story like you've never heard before.

In late February 1943, Norwegian commandos were given the details of their mission, Operation Gunnerside. Their job would be to sabotage the Vemork heavy water facility in Norway, hindering German industry and their development of the atomic bomb. Before they left, Norwegian Royal Army Colonel and pioneering chemist, Leif Tronstad, told his soldiers, “I cannot tell you why this mission is so important, but if you succeed, it will live in Norway's memory for a hundred years.” Fully aware of the danger they faced, the men were handed suicide pills in case of capture. On the 80th anniversary of this daring raid, Dan is joined by the survival expert and TV presenter Ray Mears to discuss the challenges they faced, and the consequences of their mission.Produced by James Hickmann and edited by Dougal Patmore.If you'd like to learn more, we have hundreds of history documentaries, ad-free podcasts and audiobooks at History Hit - subscribe to History Hit today!Download the History Hit app from the Google Play store.Download the History Hit app from the Apple Store.

What exactly are fair expectations for Tennessee's men's basketball program as a whole? Does the Vols' distant past matter more than their recent history? Co-hosts Nathanael Rutherford and Gene Henley discuss how the Vols are viewed nationally and where exactly UT should rank in men's college basketball compared to other programs. Do fans who got sucked into UT hoops during the Bruce Pearl era have higher expectations for the Vols than older fans who grew up watching Ray Mears and Don DeVoe? Plus, Tennessee has released the full non-conference schedule for the men's team, and the Vols should have a pretty nice record heading into SEC play this season. (1:40) - Do younger Vol fans have higher expectations for UT hoops? (21:49) - Inconsistency is the biggest reason the Vols haven't had more success (30:48) - Is Tennessee a top 25 program in the last 25 years? (38:12) - The difference between building a program and having a string of teams (53:16) - Tennessee has a pretty favorable non-conference schedule

Fratello On Air returns with a talkative episode. Balazs and Mike cover a lot of ground. Some of it is watch-related while some of it is not! We discuss the recent cranky comments on our site and ultimately spend a few minutes on our "grab and go" Summer favorites. There's a bit of Citizen headed your way. Enjoy this meandering episode.Yes, Summer is in full swing and Balazs is sweating it out in Hungary. Mike is staying relatively cool in Germany. Our readers, however, seem a bit hot and bothered! Maybe some inexpensive Citizen dive watches will help assuage sore feelings.Handgelenks KontrolleWhen it comes to the handgelenks kontrolle, Balazs is wearing his tried and true MoonSwatch Mars! This one is super lightweight, which helps beat the heat. Mike has also gone with a bantamweight in the Breitling SuperOcean 57. However, he has taken it off of the mesh for the first time and put on an inexpensive green canvas strap. Comfy!Loads of other topics including CitizenWe hit on loads of topics today. Adidas Stan Smith shoes, Oakley sunglasses, and Swatch watches and sunglasses are just some of the fun. Then we talk about a recent Strap Check article where Mike paired his Tudor Black Bay Fifty-Eight 925 with the Forstner Model J. Our readers weren't fans! Then, we discuss the polarizing new Breitling SuperOcean and third-party movements in general. The Serica 5303 also comes up and Mike is interested! Finally, we discuss some of our favorite easy Summer watches.  Balazs mentioned the new Citizen JP2007-17W Aqualand with an all-lume dial. Mike mentions his Promaster Tough "Ray Mears" and BN0220 diver. Enjoy!

Watch out diary writers, you're apparently all self-obsessed narcissists with delusions of significance, and for some baffling reason Howie has it in for you this week. The Top 5 movie Brides appears to be what set him off as our resident Ray Mears lover apparently can't think of a single movie featuring a wedding. As unlikely as that seems, we do manage to stay wedded to the idea and finish off this weeks offering.GONE GIRL is David Fincher's 2014 adaptation of Gillian Flynn's novel of the same name. A slick and very silly psychological thriller, Rosamund Pike plays the girl from the title of the movie who has gone somewhere and Ben Affleck is her errant husband accused of her disappearance. Twists and turns galore in this one so make sure you've seen the movie before you tune in. Unless of course what you're tuning in for is to hear three men marveling at Ben Affleck's junk and one man who managed to miss it. No easy feat either, the darn thing nearly poked one of my eyes out from here.HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL: THE MUSICAL: THE SERIES is exactly the kind ironically self-aware TV series title I would normally avoid were it not for the obligations of this podcast however Disney have excelled themselves here. By cleverly setting this series in the real world rather than the world of the movie, this works for the casual viewer not beholden by nostalgia to the 2006 franchise starter, and by assuming a mockumentary presentation style there's room for some meta commentary about musicals in general without being too hipster post-modern or insincere. Unless of course you think its  depiction of teen love is over-sexualised and the lack of connection to the original universe disrespects the legions of fans of the original, as one of us did.We love to hear from our listeners! By which I mean we tolerate it. Try us on twitter @dads_film, on Facebook Bad Dads Film Review or on our website baddadsfilm.com. Until next time, we remain... Bad Dads

An Explorer in her own right, Belinda has walked across Nicaragua, searched for camels in China's Desert of Death, discovered ancient rock paintings in Lesotho, pioneered inclusive expeditions for people with disabilities, lead dozens of youth development expeditions around the world and gained a Guinness World Record for rowing unsupported around Britain.     An expert expedition leader and Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society, Belinda has managed remote trips for, amongst others Ray Mears, Chris Ryan & Bear Grylls.   Belinda launched Explorers Connect, a non-profit organisation connecting people to adventures in 2009. Over 13 years later she has encouraged over 30,000+ ordinary people to discover a world of outdoor challenges and established Britain's National Night of Adventure #WildNightOut2021   For the past twenty-five years, Belinda Kirk's professional life has revolved around adventure. She's seen it change people first hand: turning the timid into the confident, the addicted into the recovering, and the lost into the intentionally wandering. As a force for change, adventure can be powerful like few others.   About the book: Adventure Revolution: The life-changing power of choosing challenge   This book is about this transformational power, and the first to explore why adventure is essential to our wellbeing.   From managing anxiety and overcoming fear, to finding self-worth and building interpersonal connections, to being happier, healthier, and more playful, ADVENTURE REVOLUTION draws lessons from more than two decades of experience leading groups into the wilderness around the globe.    Illuminated with Belinda's personal narrative, her own research with modern hunter-gatherers, and the latest findings in neuroscience and behaviour, ADVENTURE REVOLUTION presents a compelling case for ditching the living room in favour of a longer, happier, and more adventurous life.   "I believe adventure is a necessity of the human spirit. The modern world has become too easy, too averse to challenge. This is having a negative effect on our physical and mental health. We need a revolution, to learn how to live adventurously”   New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast go live every Tuesday and Thursday at 7am UK time - Make sure you hit the subscribe button so you don't miss out.    The Tough Girl Podcast is sponsorship and ad free thanks to the monthly financial support of patrons.

In Episode Two, we discuss the topic of fire lighting. Richard goes through the stages of making and using a bowdrill - and why it may not actually be the ultimate survival tool.There is no denying that keeping warm is vitally important in many survival situations, but the method used to create that warmth can be much more simple. There does also have to be a question asked about why you may have ended up in a situation whereby you have no other methods of making fire. Fire is also useful for other activities, water purifying, cooking food etc. but again, is an open fire the best tool for the job? Camping stoves have come a long way, fuel is often easy to purchase and much less energy and time are required on your part to create hot water and food using a stove.Links:Ray Mears teaching fire lighting by friction: Ray Mears teaching fire lighting by friction: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wlGkyRXqQ8

Spring's here so I'm here to bring you some Spring-cheer. For the fifth episode of Into the Stream I'm joined by Sam Lee, Mercury Award Shortlisted folk-singer, passionate conservationist, renowned song collector, and successful creator of live events.

Their events include Campfire Club, Fire Choirs, Singing with Nightingale Immersions, Bird-inspired Pilgrimages.This episode is a lovely one.

Goose stops by to talk about his favorite player, the Cats struggles and his most memorable game.

Years ago, I was listening to a radio interview with Ray Mears, an outdoor survival expert, and someone had asked him how to get the most out of their up-coming trip to the jungle. His response has always stayed with me. Not because I’m off to the jungle, but because they’re words to live by, especially when developing your relationship with your intuition.  He said, and I’m paraphrasing:  “Walk into the jungle and stop. Let the jungle come to you.” Wow!  I just love that for soooo many reasons. 

Will has cycled between all 282 Munros and climbed them, solo-circumnavigated the Scottish coastline by sea kayak, completed the Coldest Corbett Challenge, and regularly completes  expeditions in Patagonia. Will's first adventure, though, starts at 12 years old. After a fantastic outdoor upbringing in North West Scotland, during the peak of Ray Mears' influence, Will was 'cast-away' by his parents with a few friends overnight.

Andy mixes stories about life and climbs, one minute terrifying, the next hilarious, a style described by the Banff film festival as “Turning tales of near-death into philosophical and comic scenarios worthy of Samuel Beckett, or Monty Python.”Andy has a reputation for seeking out routes where the danger is real, and the return is questionable, pushing himself on some of the hardest walls and faces in the Alps and beyond, although personally, he prefers Metro's tag that he “makes Ray Mears look like Paris Hilton”.Whether he's telling a story about a 12 day solo of the hardest climb on the planet, a month-long crossing of Greenland with his paraplegic girlfriend or saving Johnny Depp on Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, rest assured you won't have heard anything quite like it.—Recorded live at the global event in Cardigan, west Wales in 2008.Watch Andy's full talk here: www.thedolectures.com/talks/andy-kirkpatrick-climb-your-own-mountain

It's Christmas, and the chaps have gotten together to produce a vaguely-themed episode! Rob offers Jonny an early Christmas present to celebrate his new life as an office worker, but Ben slams the brakes on before things get out of hand. Jonny compares the Ford Ranger to Ray Mears and talks about the Transit EV concept. Ben and Rob try to repair the damage from the last episode by giving Jonny some car-based art to review, and also review the mince pies that they've tried so far this year. There's a culture quiz just for Ben, so that Rob and Jonny can figure out exactly how much help he needs, and the chaps discuss the exorbitant prices of men's clothing.

Hvilke tanker farer igjennom hodet til en mann som har måtte forlate en sykene båt og hoppe over i en livbåt midt ute på havet? Hva skjer når du er helt alene på det åpne hav og ingen hjelp i sikte? Dagens gjest er en av få som har overlevd over 76 dager alene på havet i en livbåt som er mindre enn 2 meter i omkrets.  Dagens gjest og hans historie gjorde et sterkt inntrykk på flere måter. En ting er å overkomme utfordringer du vet at du skal komme deg forbi som å nå toppen av Mount Everest eller sykle jorden rundt. Det er noe helt annet å havne i en situasjon på liv eller død du ikke hadde forutsett og samtidig vet du ikke om det ender med at du dør av utmattelse, sykdom eller blir reddet.  Som Steven sier i episoden så hadde han ifølge seg selv aldri lykkes i noe og nå var helt alene i en liten livbåt midt ute på havet. Det tok 2 uker før han klarte å fange sin første fisk og han fikk til slutt et så nært forhold til fiskene som fulgte han hver dag at de fikk sitt eget navn. Han følte en sterk følelse av vemod hver gang han måtte fange en fisk da de var blitt en del av vennene hans. Som du vil høre i episoden har fiskene en meget spesiell rolle i at Steven til slutt ble reddet etter 76 dager alene! Steven Callahans historie er beskrevet i boken hans Adrift, i dokumentarserien "I shouldnt be alive" og Ray Mears tv serie Extreme Survival. Dette er en sterk historie om en mann som ikke ville gi seg selv når han var helt utslitt av både saltvannssår og at han etter 10 dager fortsatt ikke hadde fått reparert en punktering i båten sin.  Vi er innom: Krisetanker og hvordan overkomme de Hvordan håndtere ensomheten og negative tanker Omstille tankene og handlingene til å leve på mindre enn 2 meter i ytre i diameter! Fiske med spyd fra gummibåt! Feiret når han hadde overlevd 38 dager "Normalt liv på steroider" Vi kan alle være mer utholdende og tøffere enn vi tror Å ha det gøy er desserten i livet Fiskene som reddet Steven flere ganger Følelsen av å se land Vanskelighetene med å komme tilbake igjen til det "normale" livet Adrift 76 days lost at sea Episoden er sponset av MyRevolution. MyRevolution har siden 2006 utviklet seg til å bli en ledende aktør innen kosttilskudd av høy kvalitet. De har et tett samarbeid med noen av Norges fremste på helse og ernæring i Norge.

  During World War II, the Allies feared that Germany was on the brink of creating an atomic bomb. To prevent this, they launched a dramatic midnight commando raid to destroy a key piece of equipment in the mountains of southern Norway. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll remember Operation Gunnerside, "one of the most daring and important undercover operations of World War II." We'll also learn what to say when you're invading Britain and puzzle over the life cycle of cicadas. Intro: Hundreds of students overlooked an error in a Brahms capriccio; a novice found it.

Did you know that Bear Grylls has written an actual, bonafide piece of fiction? Well, he has, and it's called Ghost Flight. In the fifth episode of Thug Book Club, the guys give the book a good going over. Instead of doing the normal end-to-end analysis, Callum and Ryan do the 'dirty dozen', a countdown of the twelve dumbest things in 'Ghost Flight'. Join them as they discuss Bear Grylls vs. Ray Mears, Will Jaeger's relationship with Raff, people from different countries & women, how much a man can love a dog, their own personal parachuting song and a whole lot more both related and unrelated to the novel.

Our mastery of fire is what really makes us human, says Bushcraft expert Ray Mears in conversation with Jeremy Vine

Kirsty Young's castaway is woodsman Ray Mears. A traveller to the world's remotest corners and a renowned expert in bushcraft, wild cooking and survival techniques, he's one of very few castaways who would genuinely relish the challenges of a desert island. Those of us not possessed of his spirit and skill can live vicariously through his exploits on TV and through his survival handbooks. Enlightening and entertaining the sofa-bound masses is only one strand on his hand whittled bow: he's also trained elite troops for The British Army and in 2010 he was called on by police to help them track the fugitive killer, Raoul Moat. It was survival skills of a different type he needed when he lost his first wife Rachel to cancer: he met his second wife Ruth at a book signing and they share not just a love of each other, but also of the great outdoors. He says of the wild: "I can see nature; I feel it intuitively and I can understand what can't be written." Producer: Cathy Drysdale.

Libby Purves meets Maria Vasquez who fled Pinochet's Chile with her family; former child actor Robert Henrey; survival expert Ray Mears and hip hop artists the Q Brothers. Maria Vasquez came to Britain from Chile as a child with her parents - refugees fleeing General Pinochet's dictatorship. Her father, a supporter of Salvador Allende's government, had been tortured and imprisoned following the 1973 coup. The family settled first in Sheffield and then Rotherham. Maria is the chair of Chile 40 Years On, a London-based group set up to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the coup. The Royal Court Theatre is marking the event with a series of readings by a range of Chilean writers. Robert Henrey was a child actor who was picked out by director Carol Reed to star in his 1948 film The Fallen Idol. Performing alongside Sir Ralph Richardson, Robert played Phillipe, a young boy caught up in an adult world. His memoir, Through Grown Up Eyes, tells of his life from actor to Roman Catholic deacon. Through Grown Up Eyes is published by Polperro Heritage Press. Ray Mears is a woodsman, photographer and survival expert who has travelled the world studying and teaching the art of survival. He has appeared in TV series including World of Survival, Bushcraft Survival and Ray Mear's Goes Walkabout. He also founded Woodlore, The School of Wilderness Bushcraft which celebrates its 30th anniversary this year. His autobiography, My Outdoor Life is published by Hodder. The Q Brothers, Gregory and Jeffery Qaiyum, are writers, rappers and directors. Known as GQ and JQ respectively, the brothers are behind a hip hop adaptation of Othello - Othello: The Remix. Their production transposes the original story of betrayal, jealousy and suspicion to the competitive world of the music industry. Othello: The Remix is at London's Unicorn Theatre. Producer: Paula McGinley.
