Can't wait for that shelter!!! They definitely aren't showing enough of your skills. But I'm totally glued when you're on screen. And that big guy that sings alot. He's fun too.
I think I’m watching alone again for Roland last season and clay this season… I stopped watching till I found out clay was on then I watched all of season 8 and wanted more so I watched 7 and found Roland is a cool dude too,
Started following you when I took up traditional , learning to shoot a recurve, helped me a lot Clay, I’d never heard of “Alone” until few weeks ago, and was surprised to see you on the show… pretty cool, now I’m glued to it!! Glad to see how important your family is to you, the world needs more of that ! Congrats and God bless !
Clay, you've got a significant bump in your views due to Alone. Happy for you man. I'm pulling for you. Even if you don't win Alone, you win with your channel exposure. I'm a 20 year trad shooter and have been through a lot of the issues you talk about and am constantly reviving my style of shooting. I've always enjoyed your content, very well done. I'm sure we will see a lot more trad shooters now. Great for the sport.
I'm excited to see how the cooler/fridge worked. Roland's berries molded since they never got cold enough to freeze. Can't wait to see how yours turned out in the episode, and can't wait to see you recreate it!
Well clay, really enjoy watching your videos. Been following your content for a few years now and have absorbed a ton of knowledge that I use today. Just wanted to say how much these mean to me, and I'm sure a lot of other folks. Thank you for the patience to maintain a steady stream of videos and for passing this info along! Cheers
Your outlook on not worrying about things out of your control, is a lot like me. People always talk about how calm I stay. I just don’t want or need to worry about things out of my control. In my opinion it helps me stay level headed, and allows to concentrate on the thing you can control, to make your situation better. I like the recaps, and getting an inside perspective.
Your boys will enjoy helping you with your recreation of things a lot more than they would have enjoyed being there and taking their chances on dinner!
Now I am curious what that mountain lion has been feeding on. I believe you will find a solution to food. Pulling for you so far you have the most well rounded mindset. You got this.
I don't believe anyone has even snared a rabbit in the first 6 days this season. At least I don't think it's shown anyone yet. Usually people try that before fishing.
Thanks for this video and your insights. Looking forward to next Thursday as a jackpot! We get to watch as you build a project and press on in another episode of the project.
Definitely want to see it all my friend. I've tried and want to get along also. I believe if you start taking wilderness trips with your ten items your channel will take off. I've been following you for a few years now. God bless
@@DeePresentsTC thanks for sharing Dee, this is David, I think I'll try again for the alone show, I've never sent a video just a email and I did get a email back asking me to send a video. Can I share how Jesus saved me in 1999. My dad was a preacher so I went to a Christian church my entire life but was never saved, just playing a game. Gods word tell us we must repent and believe so in 1999 I did that at the age of 32. I've been addicted to alcohol and did many drugs, I've done many sins but of course the worst is lack of faith in Jesus as our Lord and Savior. My wife Lisa and I will be praying for you. God bless. Mark 1:15 and John 3:16-19
I'm hooked on Alone. Sometimes the sites they choose make me wonder if they want anyone to succeed! That lake sux for shore or net fishing...and it always comes down to who gets the fish. Last season was a perfect shore fishing lake. This season I really feel for all of you; I don't know how you're going to find nourishment once it gets really cold.
I was heart broken for you and as a fan when I saw your land didnt offer any obvious big game opportunities. Love these breakdowns. Great idea! Cant wait to see how you do, and then react to how everyone did on future episodes
Clay - the false solomon's seal root was absolutely terrible. I tried both roasting and boiling it and it was gross either way - however, it didn't seem to bother my stomach so I figured I needed to eat it anyway to obtain as many nutrients and vitamins as possible.
I rooted around digging that stuff up like a wild boar I fucking lived off of that stuff. For me it was a staple lol. If I boiled the hell out of it it wasn’t bad when it would get real soft. But I sure would have enjoyed eating something else that was running around my sight at all hours of the day😅
Great videos man. every fan of this show should be watching your videos, both to educate them about the realities of the experience of this show, and to learn some more skills for themselves.
Same thing happens in the Black Hills of South Dakota with the Ponderosa Pine and sometimes the Black Hills Spruce but that can grow on its own just very poor so a fire can push things much better. There also is other non evergreen trees but fewer and lesser of them like the Birch and Aspen or the trees native to South Dakota other then Cedar as those tend to stop before the Black Hills somehow.
You know Clay this is a lot of fun to watch as I gear up for archery season. Still haven’t built a self bow that I’d hunt with but headed to Colorado solo in September if all the pieces fall in place work-wise.
Dont have TV to watch the show, but cant wait to see the better parts of the show recreating it with your family. Keep it up. Hard to find down to earth guys like yourself anymore.
You can watch it for free on the History Channel app, with 20 million annoying repeated commercials, or buy the season on UA-cam for $15 bucks. I tried the app for the first two episodes and then bought it here on YT lol
when i found out where they sent you, i thought, "hell that's practically like Clay's back yard." reminds me of those vids you made doing the biology work in the field. if anyone could thrive there it is you.
Hey yeah on regards to the swim. I tried to get over there on land but working the shoreline at my location in certain areas was damn near impossible. You couldn’t just walk down the shore like people were saying. It could have been way better hunting or fishing over there or I could have found something useful on shore so I had to see. I swim in cold water a lot so I went for it. I wasn’t at risk of drowning I know my abilities and the water was cold but I’ve been in colder. Im fat and float like a boat 😁 I’m getting a lot of hate from fans for the swim or for singing to help keep my mind in it and ward of bears lol or people who just plain hate to look at me. I got one thing to say to all them. I couldn’t give a single fuck what anyone thinks of me. If I did I wouldn’t be the weird ass metal motherfucker I am. 🤷♂️🤣
Man I just took you for what you were. An outdoorsman being outdoors. They would have sung a completely different tune when you found a wrecked fucking boat full of chilli dogs and doritos on the other side of that water.
Biko, I was pulling for you throughout. You have incredible strength of character. I sincerely hope successes have come since the show, and that your little girls are healthy and happy. Thanks for having the courage to share your experience in the most public manner possible.
Biko singing was awesome and you know that helped with his mental state. I wanted him to win as soon as he put a bone through his nose and built troll cave. But I knew it was going to be tough going against clays forest buffet 😉
Watching you try hunting in that old burn/blowdown brought back some old traumas. I spent a few decades smashing through the bush in northern Alberta and BC as a biologist and spent many many days trying to get through that sort of stuff. Not fun at all. Even if you manage to find anything you have no chance of getting close to it quietly. Looks alot like how my hunting seasons tend to go as well :(
There wasn’t any clay on your site, but technically there was one😀(darn it, I just saw someone got to it first). Can’t wait to watch the new episode. I hope you’re in it more than episode two.
Looking forward to the videos. I'm feeling for you I would miss my family too. Nothing easily gotten is worth having. Probably why we hunt the way we do.
This was my first ever Alone series. I've watched 4 or 5 seasons since. My biggest gripe is the limited territory. If your site sucks you'd move on in a real survival situation. To much wire is my other beef. I'd love to see a survival show with people dropped in the bush with a bow ( or not) and a knife or multi-tool. I've watched maybe 5 seasons and have only seen maybe five contestants who actually belong on the show. I won't mention names , don't want to hurt any feelings.
Your discussion about your conditions brings the adventure to light. I wondered on this Season you can trap and eat small rodents( ground squirrels and mice)? Any restrictions on things you can not kill and eat? Are Seagulls off limit even for bait (for hunting and fishing)? Would you in hindsight changed you gear mix?
Clay. Sorry if this doesn't fit in here but I saw it nowhere else. Mind if I ask What do you use for your three fingers under tab... Could I make one out of Cordovan Leather?
My favorite quote of yours throughout the challenge was "The world would be a better place if at least once, everyone could experience the type of hunger that makes you want to suck they eyeball out of a rabbit "
Loving this season so far! Assuming a new bow string was utilized as any serious archer knows tying it together would increase the brace height too much to tune. (No reply needed) but,,, the show wants your to shoot at stuff so do you have a limit of arrows? Just always wondered?
Yeah I kept thinking the same thing while watching. I was telling the wife that he wouldn't be able to string it with such a shortened string and she just told me to be quiet. 😅🤣
Can you how Matt repaired this bow string and yet maintained a perfect brace height. If he just tied a knot that would not be the case. Was he allowed a spare.
I took the short end , unrolled it and spliced it into the long end. the serving that they showed me using was to re-enforce the splice. I tied a knot to start but it didn't work so i then went with the splice. the splice ended up not shortening it too much as i made a string that was about 5 inches longer than i needed.
@@caribbeanearthskills5865 I was laughing when you were all like "what am I going to do now?!?" and I was thinking about the list of possible solutions you were probably thinking about. Does dogbane grow up there? And we see that making your own bow string is a good thing, because it makes it so you can also repair it easier.
Hi Clay, loving your take on the episodes. I enjoy watching them very much. I am curious to hear your thoughts on the hunting regulations. There seemed to be plenty of bears, but they were off limits. The mountain lion however you were allowed to hunt. Was there any particular reason for bears being off limits, but mountain lions were ok? Bears were ok to hunt the previous season. I guess rules vary per region? I asked Jordan Jonas kind of the same question. I am trying to get an idea of the rules because they seem to be different each season. Would you be willing to elaborate a bit more on them? Also, what do you think of the editing of the show so far? In the episode it looked like you were distraught because you missed your family, but you mention here that this was because of missing big game, am i correct? That' is totally different! Thanks for your videos, see you next time!
Hi Evert, the hunting and fishing regulations change with the location. Some areas are more liberal than others. In regards to hunting lions bs grizzly, lions reproduce much more quickly so they can sustain harvest through hunting better than bears. As for the edit, I was bummed about the condition of the burn on my site. I also missed my family.
Am I correct in assuming that the contestants were strictly prohibited from attempting to hunt bear as a food source? I was surprised when you were inclined to go after the mountain lion, as I had presumed they too would be restricted. Thanks for the updates between episodes.
@@clayhayeshunter That is another reason I like you Clay you keep it short and sweet LOL Best of luck to you this saeson a lot of folks are pulling for you and wishing you the best...Looking forward to next week update from you...Take care
Hi Clay Greatings from Moose Jaw in South Saskatchewan Canada Hey till now you r doing OK I think. Only one question, why can't bring you guys not a coumpound bow ?
I always wonder about the availability of clay and how much can be done with it from chinking chimneys to making containers, and if there’s enough of it, making a kiln. Have you ever tried to make clay from mud? I’ve seen some videos on it and it looks feasible to make with not too much effort, but you need good mud. The spot you dug for your berries looked like it was good mud. Curious if you thought about trying to make clay or simply went looking for better mud. [I’m quite the novice so after you have a good laugh at me, please pardon my ignorance LOL]
Hey Raymond, I’ve never tried to extract pure clay from mud but I suppose it’s a viable option in some areas for small quantities. The mud from the creek where I dug the cache was the same stuff I used for the chimney. It was primarily sand.
Hello, I'm from Taiwan， next to China. I don't see a tarp in your gear list. How come did I saw you using a tarp in episode1 ? It seems this situation occurs through every season and to many other participants. Or it's something from emergency kit?
There is the slightly better option of taking out the inner core strands of the paracord and reverse wrapping them into a bow string. You can get the size right that way, and reduce the stretch.
Idk if it’s because I’ve been subbed to you forever and I’m rooting for you or what but I don’t like any of the other contestants but you lol. Never liked hippies anyway, man I hope you won!
@@clayhayeshunter Yea I can see where that could present a problem.. Here is question that has me stumped. Your given 10 items correct ...so why does a bow and a number of arrows the tab or glove the quiver the broadheads etc count as one it seems to me that the Bow would count as one and the arrows would count as one as well as all the other stuff would count as one. also they are all different items after all.. I mean you are given an ax as one so why not count an ax a saw a knife as one they are all simuler just like the bow, arrows and bow accessories.. Does not seem fair huh By the way I was digging your shelter very nice...
@@allthingsarcheryandshootin9380 I'd say because a "bow" isn't considered a "complete" item without the accessories. The axe gets a sheath and handle, the fishing line gets a spool, carrying container for the hooks, the multi tool gets a carrying case, the pots all get lids, sleeping back gets a carrying case, the backpack isn't considered an item and neither are their different clothing. That's just why I think they bundle all those accessories with a bow and call it one item.
In a pinch, you can make bow string from paracord (reverse wrap the inner strands to get the desired size), and with a little more time and work I am sure he could find natural fibers to make one with. But repairing the original (likely made from artificial sinew?) was the fastest and best.
@@clayhayeshunter Absoluteley. I have spoken with some of the previous contestants of the show. Their responses where its to do with the logistics and cost of getting people to America plus they already have a vast amount of contestants already applying which all need vetting a very time consuming process. That said I think its a great opportunity for someone to start a European show. The problem I can see for that is the actual location for the challenge would need to be challenging and therefore need to be somewhere other than the typical European climate. Bringing in the issue of logistics again.
Watching you work through that blowdown, I said to my wife even if he gets something, he'll never get it out of there without blowing a knee or injuring his back. I know I'm always thinking how am I gonna get this out of here if I shoot it and I've passed on shot when I was just in too deep. Real question, do they pick up your pack and stuff sacks? I've never see anybody use them after the first week or two and you're hanging meat in underwear.
Yeah, that place was nasty. I was mainly just scouting to see if it held anything at all. As for the pack, we’re just not allowed to use it after insertion.
You’re a great dad. Good role model for us younger fathers 👍
Spends a lot of time away from the kids.
Can't wait for that shelter!!! They definitely aren't showing enough of your skills. But I'm totally glued when you're on screen. And that big guy that sings alot. He's fun too.
Biko’s a good dude.
I think I’m watching alone again for Roland last season and clay this season… I stopped watching till I found out clay was on then I watched all of season 8 and wanted more so I watched 7 and found Roland is a cool dude too,
Love that clay does all these break downs. Dispersed camping is as wild as I get but really interesting all the knowledge these people have.
I’ve been watching your Channel for years and alone is my favorite show. I’m rooting for you man!
Thanks

Have you ever tried to make clay from mud? I’ve seen some videos on it and it looks feasible to make with not too much effort, but you need good mud. The spot you dug for your berries looked like it was good mud. Curious if you thought about trying to make clay or simply went looking for better mud. [I’m quite the novice so after you have a good laugh at me, please pardon my ignorance LOL]
Hey Raymond, I’ve never tried to extract pure clay from mud but I suppose it’s a viable option in some areas for small quantities. The mud from the creek where I dug the cache was the same stuff I used for the chimney. It was primarily sand.
What animals were you allowed to hunt? I still can’t understand why Matt didn’t chase that moose to shore and kill it ep. 1
For big game, we could hunt deer and lions only.
@@clayhayeshunter thank you! Really wish they’d lake out the rules and regs and at the beginning
Hello, I'm from Taiwan， next to China. I don't see a tarp in your gear list. How come did I saw you using a tarp in episode1 ? It seems this situation occurs through every season and to many other participants. Or it's something from emergency kit?
A tarp is provided.
@@clayhayeshunter Got it. So everyone gets one. I've had this doubt for quite a while. Thanks for answering!!
Good stuff!!
How much area are you allowed for your site?
Not sure exactly. It was several square miles.
Where can I get a Clay Hayes hat, shirt and hoodie?
They’ll be available on my website soon
@@clayhayeshunter I am very much looking forward to getting some.
You nailed the negatives of Paracord as a poor bowstring. No good tensile strength. Stretches way too far, and clumsily heavy
👍
There is the slightly better option of taking out the inner core strands of the paracord and reverse wrapping them into a bow string.
You can get the size right that way, and reduce the stretch.
my bow string broke once and I used paracord as a substitute... completely trash
Yep
Did you bank your fires?
No
Were you aloud to hunt the bear, or were they off limits. Still pulling for you to win.
During episode 3, it stated that hunting bears was prohibited. I wonder if a contestant ever shot one off camera for food though?
Idk if it’s because I’ve been subbed to you forever and I’m rooting for you or what but I don’t like any of the other contestants but you lol. Never liked hippies anyway, man I hope you won!
Thanks Shane
This is why I always have 2 strings on me when in the woods. My CO in the Military use to tell us 2 is 1 and 1 is none... Words to live by...
Except when you’re on Alone... one is all ya get!
@@clayhayeshunter Yea I can see where that could present a problem..
Here is question that has me stumped. Your given 10 items correct ...so why does a bow and a number of arrows the tab or glove the quiver the broadheads etc count as one it seems to me that the Bow would count as one and the arrows would count as one as well as all the other stuff would count as one. also they are all different items after all.. I mean you are given an ax as one so why not count an ax a saw a knife as one they are all simuler just like the bow, arrows and bow accessories.. Does not seem fair huh
By the way I was digging your shelter very nice...
@@allthingsarcheryandshootin9380 I'd say because a "bow" isn't considered a "complete" item without the accessories. The axe gets a sheath and handle, the fishing line gets a spool, carrying container for the hooks, the multi tool gets a carrying case, the pots all get lids, sleeping back gets a carrying case, the backpack isn't considered an item and neither are their different clothing. That's just why I think they bundle all those accessories with a bow and call it one item.
@@JohnsonsOutdoorAdventures Yea that makes sense...
In a pinch, you can make bow string from paracord (reverse wrap the inner strands to get the desired size), and with a little more time and work I am sure he could find natural fibers to make one with.
But repairing the original (likely made from artificial sinew?) was the fastest and best.
I just read somewhere that you won ...is that true?
Just have to watch
I'm sure I'm wrong but they arent giving claye enough time... I feel like his time on the episode is maybe 5 mins max.
That's usually how they treat the folks that make it a long time.
And the winner is Clay Hayes 114 days outlasted everyone...LOL
Now that wasn't nice
Alone is an amazing show I think it is unfortunate and a little unfair it is exclusiveley for Americans and Canadians and not Europeans.
It’s be awesome if they could somehow make it an international thing!
@@clayhayeshunter Absoluteley. I have spoken with some of the previous contestants of the show. Their responses where its to do with the logistics and cost of getting people to America plus they already have a vast amount of contestants already applying which all need vetting a very time consuming process. That said I think its a great opportunity for someone to start a European show. The problem I can see for that is the actual location for the challenge would need to be challenging and therefore need to be somewhere other than the typical European climate. Bringing in the issue of logistics again.
Nothing major happened in Episode 3. Hmm
Watching you work through that blowdown, I said to my wife even if he gets something, he'll never get it out of there without blowing a knee or injuring his back. I know I'm always thinking how am I gonna get this out of here if I shoot it and I've passed on shot when I was just in too deep. Real question, do they pick up your pack and stuff sacks? I've never see anybody use them after the first week or two and you're hanging meat in underwear.
Yeah, that place was nasty. I was mainly just scouting to see if it held anything at all. As for the pack, we’re just not allowed to use it after insertion.
I came here from not having the history channel
Amazon prime has it too
@@clayhayeshunter Didn't know that...I been having to wait until later and buying each episode on you tube. Your doing great Clay. 👍
Bro don’t ask ppl to subscribe to you channel fifty times a video or they’re unwatchable
Then don't watch "bro". Kinda rude of you to tell the man how to run his channel ... got anything nice to say?
1st :)
Soooo, no one is gonna talk about, how the Women are doing this season?
