I keep seeing comments about the weight of Ray Mears and I wonder
..
I wonder if Im cast into a survival situation, especially a cold one, would it not be
better to be fit and fat than to be fit and thin? I mean its not like Rays an unfit TV
watching dumpling.(And thats not the sort of fat Im talking about here!)
Surely the best preparation for a bushcraft expedition in the wilderness areas of the
greater part of the northern hemisphere would be to put on a few kilos of
reserves/insulation!
I myself dont have an ounce of fat on me and have to wear more clothing in cold
environments - may well have to eat more food to keep warm etc. and cant help
thinking that maybe natural selection would consider fighting fit, temperate to arctic,
as fighting fat!
What do you reckon? Is his waist line just one more thing Ray has got right?
