One of the best ABC television series ever put together,don't make them like this anymore.😁🥳

I met Major Hidden many years 1986 on a course in WA in the Army. It wasn't a conventional Army course. Yes, Les wore his slouch hat just like that and maybe that was his hat from that time. His knowledge is unbelievable and he is an absolute gentleman. Thank you Les

@ronti2492 2 года назад

I don't think anyone has done a better job , 'explaining' remote northern Australia as Les did in this series. His respect and love for the indigenous Australians of Arnhem Land shines through, and is so obvious yet so understated...at that time, I felt that Les Hiddens did much to increase the understanding of city folk like me for Aboriginal people and their land. I get the same feeling watching this series now as I did over 30 years ago.

The ducks nuts of Australian television. Me and my mates grew up wanting and trying to be Les Hiddens or Malcolm Douglas. That was when we weren’t trying to be Alan Border or David Boon. If you weren’t into it then you weren’t living. It helped living in the North West of Australia because we could test our new learnt skills for real. Such a great show and I later found out that both Les and Malcolm were very popular in Germany. Who would of thought. 👍🇦🇺💪

Bushtucker Man videos were playing on a loop in the visitor centre. I sat there and watched loads of them that day. A real nostalgia trip.

Even today this is the best production ever made about bushcraft and survival. I'm Dutch so we don't have these animals, plants and fruits. But still it changed me from being just a survival instructor as in getting out of the bush to also a bushcraft teacher as in enjoying your time in the bush. Of course the Dutch and Australia have a history.

This series was regularly shown on the "UK Gold" TV channel back in the day...Les Hiddins was the first "outdoor survival teacher" I ever watched. He is the daddy when it comes to genuine TV experts. He is well known and well regarded in the UK - Our own national survival/bushcraft expert Ray Mears was a huge fan of TBTM and eventually did a show with him. Anyway, I absolutely love the guy, his knowledge, his respect and the things he did for his fellow veterans all speak to a good and decent man.
