Let's make this birthday one to remember.

61 years old (Born on February 07, 1964)

Happy Birthday to the extraordinary Ray Mears, a man whose idea of birthday cake probably involves gathering wild berries and baking it beside an open flame in under fifteen minutes! From navigating dense jungles to showing us how effortlessly survival can seem—while we fumble hopelessly with assembling camping gear—you've turned bushcraft into legendary entertainment.

Your infectious enthusiasm and resilient spirit have inspired millions around the world. Thanks for years of teaching us critical lessons, like identifying edible plants (most importantly: which ones won't poison you!) Here's hoping your next adventure is your greatest yet; may every mosquito respect today's wilderness royalty!
