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.

Good on ya mate !

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?

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?

The look of pure joy on your face when you took that first bite of flounder. Priceless.😄

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.

Clay has to be one of the top survivalists on KZread / tv by a long shot

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.

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.

Thanks KZread 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 !

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.

Honestly, 1 of the best videos I've seen on survival. No gear just nature. Simply amazing.

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.

Glad to see you back Clay...crafty as ever...great video mate ..hope things are well...hope to see you again soon ✌️

This is so awesome, my new favorite channel

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.

Primitive survival in the winter is impressive! I really like how you go through the ethics of conservation and sustainability in your videos

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

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

Bloody good to see you back and another good video

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.

Learning more everyday..Loving it😎🤟🤟

Great vlog mate you did very well 🎉
