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.

Ray's writing is great. Really get sucked into what he has to teach. Captivating and interesting. Unfortunately, there are numerous spots where the narration lets down an otherwise good listen. Nothing wrong with the narrator per say, but during editing, they must have found a bunch of mistakes and re-recorded it with someone else's voice. They re-recorded a few words or a line here and there. It's a really interesting book otherwise but if there is a mistake, record the whole bit again so it's less jarring. It's actually really annoying now because I feel like the narrator has just one job to do and that is read the story, and they can't even get that right? Is that an oversimplification of a difficult task? Why aren't all audiobooks like this then? I'd recommend giving it a try because some people probably wont be bothered by it. For me, I'm not going to feel bad taking advantage of the good read guarantee, especially when I think I'm going to try find a hard copy version instead. Edit: I'm basing the rating for performance on the amount of times I was awoken from a day dream wondering what was going on with the book. I then lost my train of thought for the next minute focussing on editorial choices rather than the story meaning I had to go back again numerous times.

Choppy audio but good if you can put up with it
