You all know how I feel<\/a> about Canada, right?<\/p>\n

\"PJB_canada2\"<\/p>\n

You can imagine then, that I was a little bit giddy when I discovered that a new Ray Mears <\/a>series called Northern Wilderness<\/a> was starting last Sunday on the BBC, and it’s all about the vast Canadian wilderness. The first episode rocked – among other things Ray showed how to make a shelter from fallen branches, how the beavers make their incredible homes and why they are so integral, and the footage was just spectacular.<\/p>\n

Coming episodes will be looking at the ways of the Inuit, and further exploring the forests by canoe and snowshoe. I can’t wait!<\/p>\n

If you don’t know about Ray Mears, click here<\/a> to find out more about him, he’s a pretty amazing guy whose life work is all about bushcraft and bush survival. One of his previous series which I now have on DVD is called Wild Food<\/a> , taking viewers into various wilderness regions and teaching about various indigenous food and cooking techniques. It’s inspiring to say the very least, although it’s a sad reminder of how much knowledge we have lost.<\/p>\n

The photos above are gathered from my personal album,\u00c2\u00a0 taken during my trips to the West Coast of Canada over the past few years. I hope to go back one day soon. For now, I will be content watching Ray’s journey through the northern wilderness every Sunday night. I hope you get to see it too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
