I thought it was 'okay' ... in that I'll certainly be watching the rest of the series.
BUT ...
I appreciate that the peoples of Africa (and elsewhere) actually 'live' bushcraft, rather than enjoy it as a passtime, or even a career. And it was interesting to get a glimpse into these people's society and culture, etc. But I think it's fair to say that most of us have seen this style of programme before - I mean, how many times have you watched someone on TV looking a big cats through a pair of binoculars, etc, etc? It's not that it's a bad show, it's just that a lot of it is all too familiar - and I'm not talking about bushcraft here, but things like how the elephants were killed off by early hunters/settlers - sure, it's good to spread the message about conservation and sustainable development, but there are people MUCH better suited to doing this than Mr Mears. David Attenborough being one!
Stick to what you do best Ray, and leave the nature documentaries to the pros! Otherwise it runs the risk of being 'Wish You Were Here, With Ray Mears' !!

But I WILL be watching the rest of 'em, for sure ...
