I remember at our first hunt, I was. 10...my dad told me this little saying...to a bear, a mummy bag looks like a burrito...but our job is to not let ours smell like one!
Great camp Clay, so how has life been since alone... I bet your glad to be home.. So you got your elk in a few days great job.. Elk hunt is on my bucket list hope to do it one day myself. Thanks for sharing.
Congrats on the successful hunt. Almost feels like a vacation cut short when you got all setup and comfortable and tag out early. Spray the table with Flex Seal or bed liner.
Awesome Camp excellent setup. You look mellow and calm. Maintain mellowness, don't go crazy buying. Say no often to the cousins u don't know who suddenly want to borrow. LOL BLESSINGS
Question, are you hunting where there are no bears etc. Where I live we never cook in camp nor store food in camp Had 2 bears tear up the tent/camp. Just curious.
Clay, awesome stuff! Wish that I was still young enough to do what you do .Curious to know if you are related to the folks in the Jay/Mt. Carmel community. They are really good people, took good care of my parents during their stay there
A good thought. Outfitters are going in 'heavy' anyway. Today's portable solar panels and storage systems provide wondrous flexibility and might just as well ride in the truck!
Very similar to how I set up my camp. One thing I add is mouse traps which helps slow down the mouse issues. A front vestibule helps keep stuff out of the sun and a place to strip off wet jackets before entering the tent. I would not drink straight out of any water source without a filter. I don't want my trip ruined by drinking a "bug". Glad your spending time with your entire family.
Great setup! We are not campers nor hunters but maybe in the future we’ll tag along with my daughter who loves to camp. Btw I had signed up for the email list, any info about your book? I’d like to give it to my daughter for Christmas. Thanks
Excellent organization! For first time campers and hunters I HIGHLY discourage drinking out of ANY creeks, rivers, etc. if you choose to do so, there are things you can buy to make the water safer amply boiling the water. I personally know of 2 hunters that became very sick and had to be taken to the nearest hospital for treatment. The guide told the it was safe to drink the creek water. It’s not just cattle or other people that can make water bad.
Wall tents are awesome. I'm in BC and I've got a 13'x16' and I thought that was big, that thing's massive. Bit of work setting and tearing down but way better than any other tent I've had.
Go to Wally World and buy a roll of the rubber shelf matting used to keep glasses and dishes from sliding around in your cupboards, roll it out on the table, take it up when done, you can wash spills off of it by sticking it in a sink and it is light weight and no need to glue it down.
love the set up, the only things i tend to add is, solar panels, a large solar battery bank, that lets me charge devises as well as run a small fridge/freezer, as well as interrior lights, and.... bug netting ont he cots. LOL.
Holy crap it’s the guy from ALONE! Congrats on that, you were my pick to win from the beginning!! Was a coin flip between you and Colter. Glad you got it done!!!
This may be a stupid question, but why leave after killing only one elk? Do you only have one elk tag, or is it because it's enough for a year for your family?
Looking forward to the new season clay. Mice are actualy worse than bears i found. What i did was get the sonic plug ins, an inverter, car battery and a solar panel. Worked fantastic. Never had a problem with them after that.
Clay, nice setup. I noticed in your video that Liz was cooking inside the tent. Wouldn't the tent wall get splattered from grease and food splatters from cooking inside and start to smell? We have an outfitters tent and we find that if you cook inside, the tent will start to smell bad. We try to cook outdoors in a sheltered area.
Thank you for the great video. It is nice to see the family that gives you strength and support. Too many men exclude their family, implying that they do it all with no help.
Hi Clay! I know you are one busy dude. But I have a guestion for you. I have been shooting for couple years now. And I think it would be a time for an upgrade. Just getting my hunting license and ready to go for my first real hunts bymyself. I want something that I know for 100% sure is going to be me, who is going to be the bad shot. Not the bow. I have watched alot of your videos the past couple years and even commented on some of them. So I know you are a straight up guy! Do you have any recommendations for a good quality bow? All tuned and set up. Fred Bears bows still good? They sometimes run in the -30% marks, so you can get their top of the line bows for 500€, here in europe. At somepoint you had some of your bows for sale, but they are a bit out from my price range. Edit. Then on the other note. What would be the best of the best? If I want to go all in for a hunting bow? Still love all of your hard work! Cheers from Finland!
There are so many options I couldn’t say what’s the best for you. You will have to tune the bow and arrows to yourself though. Give 3Rivers a call. They can help you with the right selection.
Looks so homey. Congrats on a successful season🎊
Thank you!!
I remember at our first hunt, I was. 10...my dad told me this little saying...to a bear, a mummy bag looks like a burrito...but our job is to not let ours smell like one!
The Lifetime brand coolers are just as good as Yeti and affordable 👌
Great camp Clay
Glad to hear you got an Elk
What i wouldnt give to do what you do.
Great camp Clay, so how has life been since alone... I bet your glad to be home.. So you got your elk in a few days great job.. Elk hunt is on my bucket list hope to do it one day myself. Thanks for sharing.
Silicone mat works great for stopping cutting boards and things from sliding.

Hey clay, I was wondering if you could do a gear review on first lite and their new camo pattern. Can’t wait to watch those elk hunting videos
Sure, I talked about there stuff a lot in the previous video where I talked about the clothes I took on Alone.
Question, are you hunting where there are no bears etc. Where I live we never cook in camp nor store food in camp
Had 2 bears tear up the tent/camp. Just curious.
There's a few black bears around but no griz.
@@clayhayeshunter good to know..I am in High Rockies..
You might use portable electric bear fence around your camp or field processing sites . Lightest is 2.4 Ibs , so you don’t feed the bears.
Get the Non-Slip Router Mat, 2' x 3' from Rockler for $10.39 should work great.
Clay, I use yoga mat cut to size on my portable tables in my workshop, don't even need to glue it down.
Great explanation n clearly everything is organized. Wow. Complacent.
Awesome video, thank you!! Wonder if you would have as much of a rodent problem if you had a wall tent that came with a floor?
You mentioned you have guys building bows with you. Do you put on clinics where a guy like me can partake and if so, how?
Remind me of me 40 years ago I had a 16 by 30 army tent I hunted with Muzzleloader killed some nice elk and dear
Congratulations on your Elk. Looking forward to that video.
Coming soon!
Great video thanks for sharing. Try putting a wet paper towel under your cutting board to keep it from sliding
Do you ever have black bear problems in your Elk camp?
Clay, awesome stuff! Wish that I was still young enough to do what you do .Curious to know if you are related to the folks in the Jay/Mt. Carmel community. They are really good people, took good care of my parents during their stay there
So nice to see other people’s organization process and ideas. Always something you may not have considered. Thanks!
12 VOLT REFRIGERATOR CHEST &
2 100watt Solar panels and one battery THAT WILL KEEP THINGS FROZEN
MY 2 CENTS ON 😎👍
A good thought. Outfitters are going in 'heavy' anyway. Today's portable solar panels and storage systems provide wondrous flexibility and might just as well ride in the truck!
I may have to look into that!
Rusty Shackleford 🤣
our mountain camp looks nearly identical, but we pack in so our pack boxes turn into shelves/ table/ cooktop instead of a table
I know it’s really you dale!
Sounds like you need to take a barn cat with you hunting.
outstanding, thanks! always enjoy seeing the hunts but it's important to be able to live out there to hunt :)
You're to cool. congrats on the bull
That's a funny thumbnail Clay. Your own mini pet elk
We keep that one around camp 😆
Lol was that a video of an elk being silly or was he dying?
Very similar to how I set up my camp. One thing I add is mouse traps which helps slow down the mouse issues.

Someone found some moose billets
Damp paper towel under a cutting board to stop sliding.
Good tip
Try bed liner on your table it works good!
Thanks for the tip!
Great setup! We are not campers nor hunters but maybe in the future we’ll tag along with my daughter who loves to camp. Btw I had signed up for the email list, any info about your book? I’d like to give it to my daughter for Christmas. Thanks
Hey Connie, it should be available in time for Christmas
@@clayhayeshunter thank you.
Excellent organization!

Great Hunt ....... Your A Blessed Man That you can hunt with your Family Keep it up
Nice set up! How many times can you say "here" in one video? LOL
Here😆
A damp paper towel/bar towel under the cutting board will solve your sliding issues.
Nice setup. Looking forward to seeing your successful hunt.👍🏻
That's an awesome camp setup, Clay!
The only thing I like better is a tipi.
The wool point blanket is an essential in my lodge. Cheers pardner!
I'm looking forward to the upcoming videos. They sound good.
Wall tents are awesome. I'm in BC and I've got a 13'x16' and I thought that was big, that thing's massive. Bit of work setting and tearing down but way better than any other tent I've had.
Great video...
To sum up rusty shacklefords question in one word, “peaceful” is how it’s done!
Go to Wally World and buy a roll of the rubber shelf matting used to keep glasses and dishes from sliding around in your cupboards, roll it out on the table, take it up when done, you can wash spills off of it by sticking it in a sink and it is light weight and no need to glue it down.
Great setup. Similar to ours but on a bigger scale. We usually have two guys per tent and only stay 1-2 weeks.
love the set up, the only things i tend to add is, solar panels, a large solar battery bank, that lets me charge devises as well as run a small fridge/freezer, as well as interrior lights, and.... bug netting ont he cots. LOL.
Very nice clay
Looking forward to watching your upcoming hunting vids!! Congrats on the elk
Wow. Great team of family. Great love from marikina Philippines. Youre all great esp master Clay
Some great camp-tips!! ...kind of disappointed you got your elk so fast. LOL! I was kind of hoping we'd see you out there for the full time. ha ha.
Yeah, you and me both. But when hunting with a stick bow, I’ve learned to not pass up opportunities!
comment for the algorithm...looking forward to see that elk hunt video too!
Awesome
Big tent, Are we going to see the hunt?
Yep
Cooking and food inside the tent? No bears in area?
There’s a few but they’re not a problem.
Family Elk Camp. That is so cool. Congratulations on the successful hunt Clay, Cant wait to see the hunt
What brand is the huge cot for 2? I have been searching for this forever!
Hudson bay trading company blankets! I love those.
and surprising how many people don't recognize HBC colors.
We love ours too!
Holy crap it’s the guy from ALONE! Congrats on that, you were my pick to win from the beginning!! Was a coin flip between you and Colter. Glad you got it done!!!
Awesome! Thank you!
Canning is that with the Ball and similar types of jars or some kind of metal jar?
Ball mason jars
@@clayhayeshunter Thanks I Have heard of people in my area doing this to have the food last longer in the fridge and the freezer at home.
Man, you've got an elk down already? Sometimes it happens too quick.
Yep, I’m not sure what to do with myself!
when are you going to do the review of the final episode? thanks
Shelf liner grip mat. Cheap & easy. $8-10. No need to glue, sticks to table and object. Just lift off, shake mat and wipe table as needed.
Thanks
Good video Clay I love my Utah cylinder stove
What brand of wood stove is that?
Not sure. I got it through Montana Canvas
Looking forward to all the videos!
Good informative video, and cool that the entire family is involved!
This may be a stupid question, but why leave after killing only one elk? Do you only have one elk tag, or is it because it's enough for a year for your family?
Just one elk tag. Liz also has a tag but it’s for a different unit.
Looking forward to the new season clay. Mice are actualy worse than bears i found. What i did was get the sonic plug ins, an inverter, car battery and a solar panel. Worked fantastic. Never had a problem with them after that.
I’ll look into that!
Looks like an awesome set up man, good luck bro
Where is the toilet and shower
In the bushes
Clay, nice setup. I noticed in your video that Liz was cooking inside the tent. Wouldn't the tent wall get splattered from grease and food splatters from cooking inside and start to smell? We have an outfitters tent and we find that if you cook inside, the tent will start to smell bad. We try to cook outdoors in a sheltered area.
Been doing it that way for years without issue. She’s not too messy 😉
Love it!!
Thank you!!
Thank you for the great video. It is nice to see the family that gives you strength and support. Too many men exclude their family, implying that they do it all with no help.
They’ll be a big part of the elk hunting vid as well.
Wood burning stove is a must in my opinion!
Great setup Clay, cant wait for the hunt footage. What backpack was it next to your water? It look nice!
Kifaru StrykerXL
You need a ground sheet inside the tent Clay. Not much fun with damp, soggy ground inside your tent!
Pretty dry here. We’ll have one for late season.
Use rug no slip matting for your table it's cheap thin and will probably last quite a while
Thanks
Nice set up. I’ve been wanting a Montana wall tent.
Congratulations on the elk!!
Can’t wait for the elk hunt!!
Will you be hunting any dear this year?
I don’t usually have to hunt my dear. She’s usually close at hand😉. I will be hunting deer though!
@@clayhayeshunter hahaha my fat thumbs. Darn auto correct ;)
Good stuff, can’t wait for the hunt videos.
What an awesome husband,father, mentor you are. New to your channel and love the content. Those boys are lucky to have you teach them the way!!
Welcome aboard!

@@clayhayeshunter Hi man! Thank you for your answer!
Congratulations on a successful hunt and quality time with family
Also, nice moose sheds! And do you think you brought enough saw for firewood? Lol
The real star of the show at 7:59
Flex seal half the table Clay
Quality choices there
Cool camp! How do you handle bears around the food?
Never had any problems
I really like the old Dodge Crew Cab behind you!
Thanks, I built that truck
Isn't that the way it goes. Bring supplies for a months long hunt and success comes the first week. Congrats on your elk.
Good and bad!
That's what I was thinking. It's a good problem to have.
👏🏼💪🏽🇺🇸
Can’t wait to see the Elk hunt!
Coming up
I'm #5👍
Thanks for the tour. Congrats on the early harvest.
Our pleasure!
What poundage is your bow? I'm from central Montana. Where was your camp at
