a snowshoew hare is 700 calories. A grouse is 200 calories. WHOOPPEE, when hunting all day takes 1-2k more calories than the 3000 calories you'd need to hole up in your sleeping gear.. what you need is FAT and the way to get it is to make lots of netting out of the cotton rope hammock., so the producers made it against the rules to have more netting than you can use as a dipnet.

live weight fish are 300+ calories per lb and are 8% fat by live weight. IF you know to boil the heads and eat the skin, too.

I wondered about the viability of bringing a bow-fishing arrow in your quiver. People seem to get hung up debating the "10 items" but it seems to me that the competition is almost certainly won by your "given" gear selection, such as the specific type of coat, boots, t-shirt, thermal underwear, etc. - Its an area competitors have to select their own items and there is a wide variation in clothing effectiveness. I wonder also about the rules, and if "water proof boots" and "water proof pants/winter bibs" could be combined into just bringing insulated hip-waders. Probably not allowed. But that would be an obvious choice to me for fording creeks, stalking in marshes, fly fishing, tending nets, setting fish traps, possibly even for hiking 10 miles through a temperate rainforest.

Regarding hooks, circle hooks are perfect for unattended fishing such as trot lines, etc. The fish set the hooks themselves, and they remain in place until you rotate them to remove them. Even the barbless ones work as good as barbed hooks. It's been tested hundreds of times and there was no difference in how effective they were. Thanks for all the time and effort you put in.

I think rabbit os overlooked. They are just about everywhere. If you do not know enough edible plants in your area and live mostly on fish, rabbit, squirrel or birds can be important. Eating mostly fish is great for high fat, but you can only have so much before it runs right through you. Thats very bad out there. it Dehydrates you, and youre not getting all the calories out of it that you should. Some solid meats can balance that out just right if you dont know your plants. Just fish or just rabbit long term is not good. together though theyre great.

I never watched tv show Alone till I saw it on Netflix. At the very beginning episode 1 I knew that you will win. Trough whole show you showed great skills like building safe shelter, you went exploring, hunting, animal traps, fishing etc. other competitors did just shelter and fishing, and because of that they come to the point of starvation. I am big fan, I m glad you win, you deserve it - my honest opinion. You showed what was needed to survive. I saw you had some struggles, but you made it. When you shot that deer, I almost cried 😂, I was happy for you. Congratulations, I wish you all the very best. Keep doing what you doing bro 😎

We watched it all. I was rooting for you from day 1. Congratulations.

Just finished watching season eight this video actually got me interested in the show great job. Do they put limitations on what the items can be, they must right otherwise I’m guessing people would take actual fishing rod reel combos and a browning bar in 30-06 things like that

My bow was made for me by a friend, my dutch oven is cast iron and my sleeping bag is a military extreme cold weather bag. As for my axe goes, its a custom order head. Its kind of standard head but with a viking type 6" curved cutting edge and the eye fits the handle like a pick axe. I also would take my saw. Its a 650 too.

Your thoughts requested: Consider the following: a. This show is primarily a calorie game. b. Many people on the Alone show had their food cache raided by critters. c. People can expend a lot of calories hunting, gathering and walking trapping lines (of which sometimes even comes up empty), or the food they do get, gets stolen. d. WHAT IF: 1. A secure food vault was constructed in or near camp. 2. Hunting blinds were put in or near camp to watch over the food vault. 3. Traps and snares could also be added around the food vault area. * In other words, let the food come to you instead of you going after food. Thereby saving calories while also protecting the food you have.

Great work on the show Clay!! One thing about the show that I'm a little skeptical on... How many arrows were you given? When someone is risking an arrow at a squirrel up in a tree on day one, something doesn't make sense? On a different season I watched a guy intentionally shoot a log and basically pull the arrow on with 2 fingers?? I'm an avid archer, that just doesn't happen.. If you are given only 6 or 8 arrows for the whole time they should be treated like they were gold and why does the "I'm down to only 1or 2 arrows" scenario never take place?

A couple things: first, you’re assuming whoever shot the tree is an avid archer. They may not be and not everyone is going to take the same precautions as you. Second, there is nothing to do if you miss a shot but track the arrow. These people aren’t taking a risk every time they see an animal. You’re watching a TV show that maximizes drama. Out of 10 people you may only have 3 that shoot their bow at a live target all season, and most of those will be small game at close range.

I thought if I were to do that I would take a flu flu arrow with me with a wire or thumper blunt, that way tree or flying targets could be shot and minimize loosing the arrow. I know that fish get farther from the bank and go deeper as it gets colder so I thought that maybe you could make a set up using an arrow with a float on it, dangle some line with a hook on it, attach it to a makeshift real on the bow, fling that arrow way out there and maybe catch a fish. I bow fish a lot, and those arrows weigh a ton and can’t be shot very far, so I’d never use that, plus most fishing regulations don’t allow you to shoot at trout, just carp type of fish. It looked like that water got deep pretty fast, and getting a bow fishing arrow deep and still stick a fish is very difficult. Who knows

Salt is another good but overlooked item. Not just for rapidly drying skins and stuff, but for the salt itself. Overspending calories, sweating, and eating less means you need more salt and potassium asap. Thats why everyone gets weak after a week or so. The labors hit you harder when youve spent your salt.

Fishing is always the main ways to get calories on these shows, you might have to do some bowfishing

Are even allowed to do that? Where I am from you have to be under water to spear a fish. Dumb rule I know

It's how many ancient cultures survived honestly. Fish are(were in some places) plentiful and fairly easy to catch historically. Imagine if they did a show where there are NO fish?

Would love to have a bow setup like yours. And the Katana is a beast

You did a great job on Alone.

Did you want to bring the salt for yourself or for animals when you mentioned that would have been the alternative to the ferro rod?

@@clayhayeshunter Good to know! I feel like so many folks on the show had struggles with electrolytes that I wondered why no one has opted for salt for themselves.

It’s a major concern but you have to make a decision and substituting just one thing could be crustal.

Clay, do you homeschool your children? In your opinion how do we fight the wussification of our younger generations?

We do homeschool. Personally, I think the only way to develop character is to challenge ourselves. Same for kids.

@@clayhayeshunter Great for you, I wish them a fulfilling life with none of nowaday's BS.

Good info. I grew up in the woods of the Great Smoky Mtns, i know them like the back of my hand. However I live in the Pacific NW these days & the environments are completely different. Which has caused me to have to rethink my gear load outs. The firewood here is so so much different as you mentioned & thats just for starters. Though survival would be easier here than back home now that ive gotten used to its quirks.

Thanks! Clay. As always, good stuff

😎 looking forward to tonight's episode!

@@clayhayeshunter I got one a couple of months ago. I haven't got to use it yet though so can't say how good it is. I heard some bad reviews on the threads on it. I wish they made a big stainless steel 2 liter pot with a screw on lid that way you could have multiple uses out of it.

I’ve used mine for years without issue. Just gotta remove the big o ring before putting it in a fire.

Just subscribed! Ur the man. Just watched the last episode. Awesome work!

I'm in the middle of watching an episode, so I'll watch this later, but I've looked at the list of items and the one item that seemed like the oddest choice was the multi-tool. It's not one I would have even considered for a survival situation except in cases where that's all I had available to me. So I was surprised to see so many contestants choose it. Anyway, I can't wait to watch this and hear why you picked it. Maybe I'll pick one up to add to kit.
