In 'My Outdoor Life',Ray tells of his childhood and the formative years when he first developed a passion for both bushcraft and the martial arts skills that are central to his life.He's no stranger to risk and has had more than his fair share of dangerous and life-threatening encounters.But his life is so much more than a Boy's Own adventure.
Shortly after he returned to England having narrowly survived a serious helicopter crash,his father died.
Just a year later,he had to face the death of his wife Rachel.The book conveys the many sides of Ray Mears,taking us up to the present day - including the previously untold story of his involvement in the man-hunt for murderer Raoul Moat.
'My Outdoor Life' gives us all a chance to share a life-story as rich and as inspirational as a walk in the woods with the man himself,Ray Mears.
