In 50 years, those boys will still be looking back fondly at the experiences you created with them, appreciating the skills you left with them, and passing all of them along to their children and grandchildren.

Clay, my son is now 32 years old and he still reminds me of the times when I used to take him hunting, camping, fishing and hiking and of all the things we used to do together when he was young. Now he’s teaching his son my grandson who is 11 years old to live off the land. You’re doing a great job with those boys. Keep up the good work. They will be eternally grateful for the lessons and the character that you are helping them to build.

Here’s a man who understands being a father, and puts that understanding into action with his children. My hat is off to you, sir. I see why you won. You thought bit through to the finish before leaving home. Congratulations!

Outstanding to see you handing down the skillset and steps it took to survive up to 75+ and beyond days not knowing how long you could spend in moher nature's yard before the possibility of rescue. I live in the Seirra Nevada Mountains of Northern Caliornia which also gives me the opportunity to teach my boy what it takes incase he were to ever find himself lost, stuck, stranded. I wanted to message you and congratulate you on the win in Season 8. But more importantly, to send my respects as a fellow woodsman, father and husband. Thank you for the shows and videos you put out regarding Primitive Tool making and survival skills. Keep em coming sir.

You seem like a great Dad man. My son turns 3 in a few days here and I love to take him to do stuff outdoors. I can't wait til he's a bit older and we can do stuff like this together.

I am 27 with a 2 year old little guy, and baby girl due this summer. There are many troubling things that have come with the times we are in, but the ability to be inspired by strangers has been a blessing I didn’t see coming. Clay, the way you interact with your boys is a pure light in this world, and although my skill set has evolved a bit more around nuts and bolts than branches and mud, I hope I can be as impactful to my children. Thank you for the sharing this, and for the inspiration.

Thanks, you don’t have to be an expert to teach the kids about the outdoors. Just give them the opportunity to be outside, turn over rocks, explore, and they’ll learn so much themselves! Take them camping 🏕!

Great thing, teaching your kids life skills. Now, that's quality time! They'll treasure those memories for the rest of their lives.

What a brilliant way to bond with your kids

You’re such an amazing father❤

If you burn the tips of the beams where they'll contact the floor with care, the wood will last much longer against humidity. You can even put them down into a rock, earth & stones foundation, for even more stability and durability. PS: love your simple and effective approach. And that woodworking with saw and axe was amazing.

You sir are an inspiration to men everywhere!

Hey clay , glad to see your doing well after the show. That’s it teach your boys real well. They must be proud of you. Hope to see mor of you guys on KZread >

I'm a little late to the show on this video but I truly enjoyed it. I mostly enjoyed the fact that you spent so much quality time with your boys. They will always remember this and it will cement your status as a loving Father for the rest of their lives. These moments are all we truly have. Good times..

Makes me remember my time with my grandfather and would take me out hunting, fishing, and camping. He past a year ago and now I'm teaching my daughters to enjoy the forest and being out.

Hey Clay thank you for sharing this awesome shelter, i watched the show and it was too fast to see how you did the build. Also thanks for letting your boys help out, it reminded me of my time spent with my dad teaching me survival stuff. Im 69 and sent in my application to the casting call for Alone, ill be 70 when they pick my name out of the applicants. I have learned so much watching the 10 seasons. I have also enjoyed your other posts on archery, trapping and all. You have been my favorite contestant so far! Thanks again! Homer

Your boys will grow up good kids Clay - they have a fantastic 'significant male' in their lives.

But for some reason, probably the birth of my daughter 2 weeks ago, I just realized something listening to this video. In a video showing us how he built his survival shelter, he's also showing us good parenting all along. It literally struck me. I told myself, thats the kind of dad I want to be. Let her try and learn technic, how to use tool, have good manner, ask for her opinion, and so on. Thanks for this good lesson, greeting from Quebec, Ca.

These are great skills to be teaching those boys. They’re lucky to have a great Dad.

Finn already has it. Kid wants to work and learn, you can tell its fun for him. Great work ethics already. Led by his pops.

Very lucky boys w a dad like that wjo s a true family man... lucky wife as well. A blessed family by God himself. Inagine God giving him a rainbow after the deerhunt. Great.

Absolutely love this it's warming to the bush craft soul

I love it. The Family time is priceless, I just got back from camping with the family God blessed me with, and encourage people to spend time and do the types of things we see Clay achieve with his family. Invest time in your kids it has the best return in the end.

This will come in handy real soon.

I think that clamper thing on the Advoko MAKES channel could be made with wood (fire harden it). It will probably break though. I can't so for sure what will make more tension, the wooden clamper or your multitool. Also, you would need to knap a drill bit. Birch the only hardwood up there? Maybe drill a hole thru the handle of a pot before you go. Drill a couple holes in one of your 6 arrows?

Great learning experience and family time.
