This is what I have been looking for! Real life survival. Instead of guys doing their survival stories the easy way!!! You’re fantastic!!! Nothing fancy, and everything earned!!! Thank you!
This is perfect. I’m 16 and since I was 12 I’ve been so into survival for any situation. This is exactly what I’ve been looking for. So calm and I really learn a thing or two. 😄
Maaaan,this guy is just legit. Never have i watched a man eat a fish and had a huge smile on my face. He REALLY enjoyed that flounder lol. And the fact he befriended a bird and fed him too and the bird hung around his camp is just brilliant.
Wilson, the ultimate camping companion! He's got the skills to steal your fish and protect your food, all while staying out of the meal menu. Who needs merch when you've got a legendary buddy like him by your side?
Man goes out for an exercise. Makes shelter, fire, tools, water facility, food processing station, domesticates fowl, brings smoked fish home for family and friends. All without a match or pocketknife. Toothbrush and glasses and an amazing disposition. Legend.
As a recovering alcoholic, your videos give me so hope that I can be so much more than from whence I came. I truly do appreciate you as a human being for being true to whom you are. Much love my brother
Man, i don't know what it is but although i'm living in Ankara a big capital with 6+million people and in a concrete forrest. You made me appreciate life more and find joy from small things. It really is soothing watching your videos. Thank you for all.
Looks like Wilson was doing some ramraids on your food there 😂... Seriously though, these survival videos are an absolute treat to watch as I'm sitting here by the fireplace with my feet up. Keep them coming!
I've been camping, both standard and shelter build most of my life. I'm also subscribed to many outdoor channels. Having said that, I've witnessed things in this video that I've never seen before, and it is really exciting to learn something new. I think I'll have to subscribe and happily so.
Respect. You definitely don't make it easy on yourself. I don't think anyone would begrudge you a pocket knife, which would be a game changer for you. I've done some long minimal-kit trips before and the work never stops. I couldn't help but smile watching you chew down on that flounder - hunger definitely is the best sauce. My daughter and I thoroughly enjoy your channel - thanks for taking us along for the adventure 👍
I actually learnt something from you today. Especially about flaming the fire part with your fingers, that’s brilliant. I like these vids, very educational. Keep it up, Koro 😉
For all that you have been through, mate you are a fit healthy bastard out there doing it! Just an awesome inspiration for all. Thanks for sharing yet another banger. Great info tips n tricks. N thats 1 lucky Wilson..
Hey clay, I think you are missing a trick here! I’m in the uk and would PAY to come over and experience/ learn/ generally get back to nature! You are an inspiration bud, I know it wouldn’t be a party/ glamming but that is what makes it so interesting and challenging….life skills, humbling! Good job!
I give my Patrons on Patreon first hand lessons on bushcraft and hunting. You are right, though. It is downright uncomfortable and means living hard to do these challenges. The camera and editing cut out many of the logistical nightmares and the heath and safety issues that you invariably encounter.
...but there is a protected sea creature hanging from his BBQ stake on the opening still of his advertisements for his channel?? That's not conservation and it isn't survival when you can just go home and killed stuff because you had nothing better to do with your weekend...
Thanks for joining me on another multi-overnight bushcraft exercise. I hope this gives you some ideas that could save your life in a true survival situation. Full fire-making scene - 9 minutes and boring th-cam.com/video/JmJdJ9wwOBM/w-d-xo.html ) I have had to cut out some of the killing & butchering scenes in this version to stay within You Tubes community guidelines.

If you are trying to hunt down the tough outdoor clothing I am living in here hit this link collabs.shop/ihlmkn and the code will give you a 10% discount. I hope you enjoy the island adventure.
Why you don't start the fire at the place where it actually will burn? I mean, I get that you need a certain light angle for ignition, ok. But you take the glimmer anyway and could place it right at the place where the fire ends up, no?
@@ClayTallStories i see. and it was too far away for bringing the glimmer right to tha desiguished fireplace? Anyway. Good video. This reminded me, when we as kids burned ants with optical lenses ;-)
Great video full of great information! Thank you for sharing my brother! Love, Health and positive energy to you and your Family! Stay safe and keep having fun!
that was a great watch Clay , showing us impressive survival skills. I know its taken many years to learn these skills , thats why Education NZ needs you to be an a tutor for the "lost generation" , Im sure you would have sold out courses. You're the man for the job. thanks for sharing.
Thanks mate. Great watch as always. I love doing a good survival challenge and testing the skills. You take it to another level for sure. Always something to learn and this video certainly didn’t disappoint. Cheers 👍👍
Thanks TH-cam for recommending me this awesome video ! I love your editing : no bullshit, no useless bit, you're straight to the point and only show what's important ! It really feels immersive and grounded. Now I'm goind to bingewatch your channel ! New Zealand is a beautiful country, I hope I'll be able to visit one day. Much love from France !
There are so many videos about all the gadgets that people can buy in order to be completely prepared for camping, and still, these people never do camp , they just buy all the stuff. I on the other hand admire the people who can go into the wild with fewer things and more basic equipment. This video is truly fantastic, congratulations.
Awesome video Clay, there's no substitute for experience as you know. I have to say though mate, Wilson was the star of the show, he was almost tame enough for a snuggle up with you in your nest by the time you left. Keep on doing what you're doing bud, it's inspirational for us fellow oldies, and 60 is the new 40 👍🏻
i like how you did this in winter too, to show it can be done, and that its not only duable in the nicest part of the year, i feel like it is a lot more realistic in winter, and i havent seen anyone do anything like this especially in winter, the only videos similer to this are on tropical islands where the weather is too hot.
What a great video Clay really well put together I spent February in NZ fishing and hunting with my pal loved it truly a special place I agree your videos outshine the other ones I love the fact you explain and teach .watching from Scotland
I remember making spears and fishing for flounder on Great barrier Island with my mates when I was in my early 20s. We didn't get back to camp till it was about 11pm. We were cold and hungry, and just couldnt wait till the morning for a cook up. So I totally get the way your savoured that fish. They are oily, buttery and delicious. We are lucky in Aotearoa.
damm this is literally my dream, i played this game called stranded deep on my ps4 where you a stranded on a tropical island and have to build shelter, and spear fish and sharks, and build a raft out of sticks and travel to different islands, and i love the idea of it all and you are literally doing that in new zealand which is where i live and i think that these videos are the best and most inspiring videos ive ever watched on youtube. thank you for making this. i love the part where you were spearing the eagleray that was so cool, and i loved seeing it being hanged up like that.
It's preety challenging for an old man to survive such a long days in a jungle or island without carrying any food,but he did it as if he spent just a day.Bravo!!.... he's a real hero. Brilliant surviving techniques he's got❤....love and worth watching sir....❤Long live...
Cool video Clay. I love that shit! Thanks for the tip! I thought flounder were only around in the warmer months. I'm on the Coromandel peninsula so it's a bit warmer than where you are. I'm going to go have another look, but I'm going to try it your way with a fire torch. But instead of walking, I'm going to do it on a SUP, and my spear will be my paddle.
incredible. I loved all the techniques shown and even more I loved seeing wilson getting that close to you and even bringing his wife! He should be glad he wasn't on the menu for you this time!
Your wisdom and strategies for survival are priceless. This I feel encompasses what your channel is all about. Keep up this kind of content please. From a West Auckland based Angler. Tight lines or in this case, sharp sticks. Lol
Mate, don't know how I stumbled across this video but it was thoroughly enjoyed. Dont get to see many of these survival vids from the homeland, Thanks for putting this together.
Couple months late but this has to be the most amazing survival video I've come across , I loved the video man , your vibe , your accent , awesome stuff definitely will be subscribing, nothing but blessings for you . Loved that you even made friends with a bird and gave him a name .
You're a ledgend Clay! If they did a Alone in the Wilderness especially in NZ,I'd put money on you to take it out. Age isn't a barrier!From a Main Lander to a Main Lander but on the Gold Coast at present.Kind regards, Ken McArthur.

Willson running off with the meat bigger then him was funny as, he hurried up with the theft as you shouted him 😂
A wild bird just hanging out and making itself at home totally unafraid of you. Fascinating and very funny.
that is why the Kiwi's are extinct btw. they were too friendly and unafraid of Humans, which thought they tasted good and ate them all.. )=
@@darkpatron9011 Kiwi aren't extinct. I assume you're talking about the Dodo, though by all accounts they tasted terrible.
Still excessive hunting msde them go extinct. @@BionicMonkeys

I've watched this twice now, my friend. Great vid, thank you for all your efforts and for sharing your knowledge.
Very welcome
I am very impressed. No bs, just information, authentic content and wonderful pictures. Thanks man. You inspire me
I appreciate that!
The look of pure joy on your face when you took that first bite of flounder. Priceless.😄
As a recovering alcoholic, your videos give me so hope that I can be so much more than from whence I came. I truly do appreciate you as a human being for being true to whom you are. Much love my brother
Best wishes for your future! Hang in there!!! You can control your destiny!!
He got some drinking food
Best wishes mate, keep at it
Soon you will forget what it even feels like to be drunk, you will recover faster than you think
One day at a time bro
You are skilled, unlike anyone I have seen here on TH-cam. Wilson stealing fish is hilarious at 35:43. Awesome content.
Bloody awesome mate,start to finish top drawer,skills,knowledge,practicality and personality, brilliant
Thanks mate
This makes me really appreciate my clean water, food, and comfortable home. You did an outstanding job demonstrating these skills!
Clay has to be one of the top survivalists on TH-cam / tv by a long shot

Ray is one of the most delicious fish I ever tasted. Make a local coconut curry with tons of chilies.. Heaven!

Cancer & heart disease had a good crack at me but I won those two battles. Thanks mate.
Love your videos! defo survival 101 Stingrays and flounders are delicious. I cook them with coconut milk and curry with chillies
I respect the fact that Wilson didn't become a meal himself 😂
Lol I was thinking the same before he said he was so close to his home. I figured Wilson was a friend at that point lol
@@jaytee5913 35:42 (would have been the last straw for me) 😂😂
Unreal brother you take it to the nxt level no knife 🔪 haven’t seen a survival video like yours nice work great knowledge!!!!
I'm glad you're just not a random guy trying to survive and you actually know what you doing. Great video by the way
Keep making more stuff like this especially primitive fishing techniques
More to come!

Primitive survival in the winter is impressive! I really like how you go through the ethics of conservation and sustainability in your videos
Ethics ? Murdering filth
...but there is a protected sea creature hanging from his BBQ stake on the opening still of his advertisements for his channel?? That's not conservation and it isn't survival when you can just go home and killed stuff because you had nothing better to do with your weekend...
