About this listen

A journey of discovery through our natural world.

Bushcraft and survival legend Ray Mears takes us on his own lifetime's journey through the natural world, into the British countryside and across continents, and shows us how to tune our senses, enhance our experience of nature and understand our place within it.

Guiding us through practical fieldcraft tips, Ray brings us up close with creatures we share our planet with, and reveals how we can learn from them, from the stealth of the leopard to the patience and stillness of the crocodile, and even the colour-changing camouflage of the octopus.

With Ray as your companion, you will unlock the hidden secrets of the wild and begin to see, instead of merely look.

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Subject and content fascinating but experience diminished by poor editing. Narrator's tone changes, almost sounds like patches have been read by someone else or even from different text.

Fascinating but irritating narration/editing

Despite the somewhat random recording, the books content and overall experience are excellent. . .

Transformational to my outdoor experience

Ray Mears has been my idol since I was 14 watching country tracks, I'm now 41 and this didn't disappoint. I love his turn of phrase and his honest semi-spiritual reverence for nature that really comes over I his descriptions. Full of useful tips to help see the world through his eyes and a great reminder that I'm not alone in my view of the world.

Great for anyone getting into nature

An inspirational & thought provoking listen. The one dropped star is that I would have preferred it to have been narrated by Ray.

I've never been a great lover of Ray Mear's work but this book is different. If you are newcomer to observing the Natural World this book is crammed full of good tips and practical advice in how to improve your skills and get better results from your observations.
If you are a bit of an old wrinkly and a bit of a Nature know it all, like me, then this book still has plenty of practical help to hone your skills. I learnt a lot from this book and realise that I don't know half as much as I thought I did.
For me, though, the most important part of this book is the last chapter. It contains some hard truths that we need to acknowledge regarding conservation and our role "in saving the planet." We don't need to save the world, the world is quite capable of saving itself, we need to save ourselves from become part of the long list of species that have become extinct.

Something for everyone
