- TH-cam is full of bushcraft cooking videos of guys throwing a ribeye on a bed of coals. But, last I checked, steaks were a little hard to come by in the wilderness. On this primitive cooking video I'm using a primitive cooking technique known as "clay baking" to make roast duck. Clay baking is advantageous because it retains all the juices and fats in the food. And, if you're in a wilderness living or extended survival situation, fat is critical. It also requires no tools, pots, pans, or other modern conveniences. All you need is a source of clay and a fire.
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 building, survival skills, bushcraft, self reliance, primitive skills, primitive bows, hunting, camping, fishing, and a lot more!

All time fave primitive fire starter.
Hilarious.
I first read about this technique in Prehistoric Cooking by Jacqui Wood. Archeologically, the clay shells from this cooking method have been found, sometimes with feathers embedded in them (apparently the clay can be used to pluck the fowl as you remove it after cooking). She theorizes that the clay shell might have also been the origin of pottery.
Thank you for trying it out!
Awesome
You are my favorite youtuber of this genre, Clay.
I love your videos. Especially when you hunt with the bows you made youself.
Glad you like them!
Yummy! I've seen pigeon done like this, no plucking or cleaning, mud applied directly to the feathers. When opened the feathers stuck to the mud and just came off leaving the bird clean. The insides were just scooped out, We also put rocks in the fire to help retain the heat. The outdoors are a great adventure for kids, nice to see you guys out there.
Hello Clay! The duck was probably more steamed than roasted. In the UK, many years ago, the Romoni (Gypsy) people, would cook Hedghogs that way. They would leave all of the spines on them and when taken out of the clay, the skin and spines would all come off.
👏👏👏👏👏👍
When something is steamed, it is placed over water and the steam from the boiling water is what cooks the food.
In Boy Scouts many years ago we wrapped potatoes in clay and roasted them in a fire. An interesting side note: the scoutmaster’s name was Daniel Boone, not “the Daniel Boone but he was an excellent scout leader. I learned much from him!
Thank you Hayes Fam.
We used to do turkeys in a can in a pit...But first time I have seen it done with clay. Excellent Vid. Thanks.
Thanks for watching
Appreciate you Clay!!
You two are having way too much fun!
I have done this method decades ago with a chunk of pork, I don't remember wat exactly piece ist was, but I remember what it was one of the best pieces of meat I ever ate!
Adamım sen bir harikasın 😉
This makes sense, I will definitely try this.
That was cool. I had a book on primitive living a long time ago and they did the same thing, but left the feathers on and the guts in, and baked it for a couple of hours. They opened the clay cover and peeled the skin off and ate the duck.
Good to see a kid experiencing that
That was great Clay...thanks so much
Glad you enjoyed it
Love it! Great method and video, Clay. Thanks for sharing.
The PPT. Primitive Propane Torch. Love it!
great stuff man good to see others showing people how its done
Well done Clay!!
That certainly looks very tasty!
Looked fantastic thanks for sharing.
I'm excited to try this
I can't wait for partridge season to open back up where I live. Definitely going to try this.
Thats amazing Clay....i have tl try this out one day....thanks for sharing
Awesome I can't wait to try this
Yum! Wish I had a good source of clay near me so I could try it. Thanks for showing a new cooking technique.
thanks clay. now im hungry.
Great video, I appreciate your time and effort making these videos.. Thanks...
Great content Clay.
Outstanding, Duck is my favorite game meat. I WILL try this next hunt! Primitive man has done this forever, why not me???
Thank you..awesum info!!
What a wholesome video ❤
you did really well there. great job!
Thank ya
Thanks!
Thank ya
Pretty cool!
Thanks for sharing this brother, good to know in a certain situation
You bet
I think I will have to try that sometime.
That was epic!
Amazing
That's cool thank you brother. I'm going to try something in red clay. That's really cool.
My grandfather would do this, only difference, he would do a wrap of foil to add one more layer of containment.. works like a charm. Love the content. Cheers🍻 rogue valley, Oregon.
Are you working on any more books? I absolutely loved the one you did after Alone. Thanks Clay!
Next time i want to see Hayes baking
That was wery enjoyable to watch 😊
Good stuff as always!!!! That looks tasty!!
So good
Fun stuff 👍🏻🍖
Dude I would love to come to Idaho and hang out and learn from you,I love your videos you are the real deal my friend.
Awesome guys.
Glad you enjoyed it
Very Nice technique
Good job
Stumbled over your chanel today. Appreciate your skills. So much fun watching (and I already learned something 😀)! Cheers from the deep woods of Germany
Very cool.👍👍
🔥🔥🔥👍👍👍
When I was just a sprite me and my friends always cooked bluegill up on the creek this way. A little hickory ash for seasoning was the perfect touch. Now days with all of the seasonings we use, that hickory ash probably wouldn't taste as good but when your palate isn't primed it really is enough
This cooking is a complicated process a speciality, but u make it simple👌👍
Thanks a lot 😊
Wouldn't have ever thought to do that. Was also wondering if you ever done that before.
Appreciate the videos you talk in, looks tasty!
Glad you like them!
Messy but so satisfying.
Cedar is adorable
Not a duck eating person but I like how you cook it.
nice chewy CLAY GREAT FOR TEETH TO CRUNCH ON
I admire your skills thanks for sharing
Thank you! Cheers!
Ive done this with Fish. It works great for that. Love the videos .
Good stuff
Fair play that duck looked tender and juicy had a good colour to it great video and intructions
Great vid!!! 😎 👍
Description gave me chuckle! (Makes me think salt is hard to come by too in the wild haha) Fun video!
Love this!!! My father taught me something very similar to this when I was a young boy and we went hunting🙏🙏🙏 ty Clay great video once again
Glad you enjoyed it
Here in the UK this was a go style of cooking in the past out in the sticks as we call it.
Ever video features Primitive Clay!
I have had rockchuck cooked that way on Indian tacos on the Fort Hall Res, great!
Sounds good
the clay on the bottom, should be damp. As the duck is cooking, the juices run down. Looks tasty ! Thanks.
Totally impressed!!!
Great job…
You can do the same with fish???
I remember hearing somewhere that this was the favourite method for Gypsies when cooking hedge-hogs. (Not sure if you have hedge hogs in the US.) But they would leave the spikes on so that, when cooked. the spikes would come away along with the clay.
Thanks Clay for telling us about... CLAY.
We don’t have hedgehogs but I could find something to substitute!
❤
Firestarter after my own heart!
Hey clay Idaho Vandal alum here, love your videos buddy!
Have had and cooked a lot of clay baked things, from fish to duck. If you do this again just get yourself more bigger leaves to wrap the meat in, helps with the clay dust when cracking open the "pot".
-- I jist cain't imagine that you done forgot your Kitchen Magic Oven Mitts
Timely Timber Timer
Foulfine Chinaware
and SilverSpoon-in-the-Mouth tableware
But dat dhere fire starter is a Jim Dandy!
*_NICE! Thank you, Clay Hayes!_*
_P.S. Consider bringing crepes and plum sauce for your duck dinner next time around._
Gotta love ya for ... baking! Would love to give it a try, but we have such sandy ground in Berlin, no clay around here. That would just not stick. Great instructional video! Good idea not to gut the bird before getting rid of the feathers. Looked very yummy when done! Funny how kids eat with their eyes and Fen rejected the apple 😀
So true
Always wanted to try the cree way of using supply roots suspended beside a fire and constan swisting so as to evenly roast the outside
That turned out amazing. Be interesting to see other things Clay baked. It could be your signature lol
Nate
Maybe a clay baked snake🤣
Nice dog
ive also seen a method for cooking fish wrap big palm leaves around your fish tying each end and cover with coals and sand or mud and wait 1-to 2hrs tastes amazing love the channel clay always interesting and very informative thanks for sharing
Yep, I’ve done that in banana leaves
wow never tried that 1 on the bucket list@@clayhayeshunter
Mmmmmmmm!!!
Good technique 😉, a bit raw for my taste. Will definitely give a try in the field :)
Have fun!
Mud duck 👌🏼 …no Clay cooking jokes either. That’s my next chook cook method
Right on
Nice. Definitely different
Glad you like it!
The little boy was cute.
awesome man, I saw a video of the hadza tribe using this same method, I have a feeling they know whats good when it comes to this sort of thing so I guess it's no surprise that it turned out good haha
Does the thickness of the clay ball matter? Could you come by with a much thinner clay ball or would it crack open while cooking? Love you videos as always, they're a great teaching tools!
dang.
The extra seasoning from the log makes everything taste better.
I didn't realize you were from idaho. I'll definitely be watching more often #idahome
Great father
I love duck. You can use a galvanized metal trash can with a drip pan in the bottom. Drill a holes In the top and fasten a wire and a chicken wire basket over the drip pan. Around the drip pan, put your hot coals, put the duck in the basket, and lower it over the drip pan. Shutting the lid.
Galvanized metal is toxic when heated. Not recommended.
You can also use the hole in the ground method you describe, my friend. A hole with a drip pan surrounded by hot coals. Thanks for letting me know that galvanized metal is toxic!
Great one Clay. I wondered if native people used this method? By the way , I still haven't seen all of season 8, but I saw the bit from the last episoded , where they interviewed you and told you the news. Wow, powerfull stuff. Can't wait to watch all of 8 now. Good video and great parenting imao. I "was" a great parent too. Workin towards great "Pa" now.
Many thanks
Reminds me of a salt roast! Very cool.
I think this is a great thing to know as a backup plan, but another, easier way to conserve nutrients, calories, etc, is to put it in pot of boiling water with a lid and make soup. Probably not as tasty as baking it, but you're not likely to care in a true survival situation when you're really hungry.
In an emergency and/or survival situation, the name of the game is conserving energy and doing as little work as needed/necessary to survive.
Granted, you do need to have a pot of some kind to do this, obviously.
Not gonna lie Clay, that was one of the stranger videos I've ever watched on youtube 😅 but I'd love to try it myself sometime!
You should!
