      +Clay Tall Stories - ive lived in Auckland city my whole life, your videos are a window into a world I havent experienced too much. im real keen to go hunting someday, but wouldnt know where to start.. anyway, great work on the videos, the music, attitude, nature and people really make it a pleasure to watch

    • @ClayTallStories
      @ClayTallStories  8 років тому +7

      I went to Auckland when I was just 15 after I left home. I played harmonica and washed dishes in restaurants to survive. It was an exciting time for a young boy who had just run away from home.

    Brilliant video! This has got to be one of the best I've watched on survival/bush tucker. 'Authentic' is what I'd call it! You really know what you're doing. I will be watching a lot more of your stuff.

    thats good to know about the river stones; explains alot as me and a couple buddies made a bon fire one time and lined it up with giant river stones which exploded one after another once the fire grew lol. Scared the shit out of everyone

    1000 times better when you get it yourself..and reap the rewards of your efforts.Wasps yes....hate the damn things.. found an old Nissan Hut back in the Late 80's West Coast, was one Massive Wasp nest, need less to say we deviated our line of march. The Hum coming from it was very intimidating..... so not surprised so few bee hives with those evil creatures so abundant.

Of course, kawakawa juice can be made and stored in the fridge for a daily drink. The olds swore by its healing goodness as you say, "good for the immune system" as most green teas are. Subbed.

      +thrillernz1 They are pretty common around the top of the south island on NZ. I am not sure about the rest of the country. Known as banana passion fruit. Also considered an obnoxious plant because they strangle some of our native species. When ripe they taste bloody good!

    • @ClayTallStories
      @ClayTallStories  7 років тому +2

      If you crashed and survived your first port of call would be to set off your PBL. Do you carry one? I do. After that, it would be to make a shelter out of your plane or what was left of it. Keeping warm and last of all finding water to drink. Food would be way down on my list of things as you can go a long time just living on your body fat (unless you are super skinny already)Good luck mate

    3:11 Ivy! Evil bastard of a plant in NZ, that will wreck that whole area, eventually the whole bush if someone doesn't deal to it.

    This is gold Clay haha, 1st time watcher and I must say I enjoyed watching your true blue kiwi style ways of doing bush tucker. I may just have to subscribe and learn a few more tricks from your vids. I've just finished building a bed base/camper into the back of my 4wd so looking forward to getting out into our beautiful New Zealand native bush myself and forging of the land.

      way to go. I always wanted a 4x4 camper. Is it a Mazda Bongo van or a ute? or a land cruiser...or a Subaru wagon?
