  • Clay Hayes shows you around his families homestead where they've lived since 2010. We like to be as self reliant as we can and that means producing most of our own food. We hunt, fish, forage, and grow a large garden on our little homestead. We have a little farm house on 20 acres in North Idaho. On this homestead tour we'll walk you around the land and see how things have changed over the years. We'll look at our little farm house, do an organic garden tour, and check out the 3D archery course, woodlot, and pastures. We'll talk about some of the wildlife habitat improvements that we've done. If you're into homesteading, self reliance, gardening, or just being left alone, then you're bound to enjoy this one.
    Liz will do a garden tour over on her channel and talk about the garden irrigation system, low tunnel hoop house, growing sweet potatoes in cold climates, lasagna gardening, starting seeds, and organic gardening in general.
    Be sure to check out Liz's channel for more gardening and food preservation videos! / @lizhayes7474
    And my new Book, Surviving Alone! amzn.to/3RxhUt8
    Don't forget to subscribe to the channel. We're uploading a new video each week that features one of the following topics: archery, bow hunting, bow making, survival skills, bushcraft, self reliance, primitive skills, primitive bows, hunting, camping, fishing, and a lot more!

    Just now finished your season! I have to be honest at first I was going for Biko and just few episodes in I called that you had it in the bag and was cheering for you. I related a lot with your love and passion for your family. I don’t usually ever get left in more than a few tears from something but as a young father of 2 at only 23 years old who also has been with my partner since I was 17 after being best friends for years, it really hit home for me and filled me with a lot of emotions and inspiration.
    Congratulations 🎉 happy you post content I’ll be subscribing!

I dont know how many come in the beginning talking about how they will kill it cause they have a warriors heart and then dont make it 30 days. Loved the poems as well. Without even talking about prize money you are a rich man. I could tell how much you love your family and I applaud you for living life right. Prayers to you on all future endeavors.

Now that’s a perfect circle of life.❤️ Also super impressed with your sustainable french fry oil fueled truck creation! I could watch you talk more about all those areas. Not to mention your toy making for your kids on Alone. So I started following your channel.

    Clay,
    There’s a place called Adventure
    that lives just on the horizon.
    It calls us forth over the next ridge
    and around the next bend.
    It’s where life’s good stories live,
    the ones that will be told
    around campfires,
    for a lifetime and more.
    But Adventure doesn’t
    give up her secrets easily,
    She keeps them hidden
    from all but the most willing.
    Willing to pay the asking price.
    Just in case you didn't get the transcript, S8 E10. You're amazing! Thank you for this moment of Truth and Beauty. Your words touched me. And gave me strength to carry on. I'm a 79 year old widow, living alone and lonely in Lone Tree CO. It came just after the shock of seeing Coulter -- who should win an award for the Grodiest of All the participants throughout the series so far. LOL God bless him! The series ALONE captured my spirit and senses. Just finished watching all 8 seasons. I'm grateful that at least I ain't got it that bad!!!

    Hi clay. I've just started on your videos in the last few weeks and enjoy them a lot.
    I watched your earlier homestead tour and this one. I am based in Australia and from here I would say:
    - make sure your boys can grow gardens and preserve and cook as well as they can hunt and build
    - secure as much water as you legally can. You're sure to be restricted on what you can take out of the creek, so put gutters on your house, underground tanks, rainwater barrels, toilets using rainwater, dig some dams, plant mulch crops, explore options to retain water on your crops, fields.
    - windbreaks, animal shelters, woods you might want to harvest in the future, any wild plants that grow in idaho that will be beneficial. Even things like fish ponds, crabs, and yabbies ( that's what we call them in Australia. They are fresh water crustaceans/ shell fish. )

    I’m glad you mentioned that working home/farmsteads give a guy junk piles. I’ve been fighting to make my place pretty for years and I just keep building sheds with old fence posts, wire, lumber, and fencing laying outside of ‘em’ typically from a neighbors old dog kennels. I’ve come home to find lawnmowers, riders, and a snowblower in my shed from various buddies. One of them even worked right away… the deer here don’t even run from the dog anymore, so it’s been hard to keep the new orchard alive here too. It’s a good way to live though

A homestead like yours to raise the family most for year seems like the ideal situation. So stoked for you guys

    Very nice place you and your family have there Clay. A wildlife heaven. About a week ago i ran into a 10 minute video that showed the last few minutes of your season 8 victory on "Alone." The last 2 days i have been binge watching the whole series. I am on day 49 and down to 4 survivors. Very hard living in the wild there. You getting that deer early on was a big win for you as you know. The last i watched you were getting frustrated with the gill net. I will watch the last episodes as time allows. The Lord has blessed you with a very high skill set on many area's in life. Of course your efforts to learn as brought the to fruition. Keep on keeping on.
