Coastal Camp, Forage & Fishing With What I Can Find.
New Zealand, South Island, Tasman. 21.01.2022. My personal challenge is to go camping on the coast with nothing but a life jacket, PLB, the clothes I am wearing a GoPro, and a bunch of batteries. My objective is to find fresh water and make something to hold it in. Find or build a shelter that I can sleep in then find string and a hook to fish with. To somehow find the materials to build a boat and go to sea to catch a fish. To forage the shoreline at low tide for shellfish and pick any berries or fruits growing along the coastal flora. I am not far from my home so I know this place well. Join me as I set about this adventure.

You really are made for these types of videos... I can't help imagine what a young Clay would do in his prime, with a go pro and some of the stuff you'd get up too and film. Probably take over the internet if it was around then!

Thanks for watching right to the end mate.
There's a story I heard; A man was lost at sea, he caught fish. After a long time he developed vitamin deficiencies. He was just eating the white meat. He needed other vitamins. His body, his mind tricked him into thinking that the eyes, and brain tasted like candy. He survived!
This should be mandatory viewing for high school. Teach kids a few things and hopefully get them out into the world the dont know exists.
I work 9 to 5 six days a week, at the weekend I get to wash my car and cut the lawn, you videos give me so much pleasure I can’t put into words, please keep them coming. God bless you. Uk

You sir, are an absolute legend! I can't believe you built that "boat" out of basically nothing and actually went and caught fish with it. This is prime content. I'm hooked
hahaha, so happy with the hooks. luv ur skills mate. cheers from belgium
I actually like that you take things like the coffee and the saw, because at the end of the days it’s better for us as the viewers too. No point suffering and providing less content just to prove a point :p
He was very nice to those people. I know he was counting on that coffee, but you couldn't tell at all.
I used to work in construction and was dirty. But watching your video has taken my dirt experience to a whole 'nother level. 🤔🤔🤔

Just started watching you. Love it, and you even cuss...me too. Glad you're not afraid to. Lots of nice resources. Enjoyed, thanx
Another example of what we can do and what we can eat when the situation calls for it. Very entertaining and instructional. You would make an interesting friend. Continue the good work.
I was wondering why the video had no explanation, until I read the description. It's a personal challenge. That's Cool. You have Skills.😎👍💯
Honestly amazing, I wish there was more, keep up the awesome work, can tell you enjoy being out in it ❤
Wow,top video. You have turned everything upside down now ,as now the essential survival tool is a hand saw.
That contraption was awesome!! Now I know why u got so excited finding the hooks
It's amazing how much it puts things in perspective to watch someone get so excited about finding a few rusty old fishing hooks 😄
favorite quote in this video was in discussing the bed: "Gonna see if that feels comfortable or not... feels like sh**" hahaha epic. Cheers mate love the videos of yours like this.
Bloody awesome Clay I hope that gives people an insight of what can be achieved when you are caught out with nothing and you need to survive.
Definitely lots of "minerals" in that water hahaha
The eye's of any fish is great bait if you thread it through the hook right. Mullet especially.

You can actually "cook" the fish in mushed gooseberry. Like using tomato and lime to cook tuna for ceviche

Just this week I made home out of an 8'×10' canvas tarp and my trusty hammock. Turned out 40°f first night and 45° next. I caught an 18" bass (full of eggs). Mmm mmm good! After four days I had to break camp. I missed my coffee! Great adventures. We have some nice bamboo here in Texas, I plan on making a raft and doing a freshwater fish and camp video of my own, thanks for the video!

Quite good to find so little plastic on the beach, you wouldn't go far to find a plastic drink bottle on the beach's around here. Also a thing of mine to give away part of the catch to someone who enjoys fish, cheers mate.

At last, some real survival craft. I live on a tiny island, 500 miles off from the main island of Okinawa, and I can relate to what you do, living in harmony with nature under any type of circumstances. Awesome video from a unique man. Next time, bring some soy sauce for your raw fish ;)
Clay, I thoroughly enjoyed that! I was recently having a conversation about resourcefulness, and how it takes many forms in our lives. That video was a really great insight into making what you have, work for what you need. The same can be said for many things in life, and I believe pursuits like this are good for us on many levels. I’m a primary school teacher in my second year of teaching in a decile 1 school where resources are very thin; and I’m learning similar lessons... albeit in a very different context. Anyway… would love to see more videos like this in the future. Thanks for your mahi, brother!!

@@ClayTallStories That’s actually not a bad idea at all. I actually have a lesson I created called ‘An Adventure Across the Ocean’ which simulates a survival situation. An imaginary boat starts to sink and they have to quickly decide what to take on their lifeboat. They arrive at an island and then have to create a survival plan….. your video would work great alongside it. Nice one bro 🤙🏻
Cool clay.... the idea to gave you, can sit back and enjoy.

I have trained my entire system. For the last 3 years I have only eaten every 23 hours and stuck to a keto diet 90% of the time. Zero sugar or refined carbs. My body burns fat for fuel where as most people burn sugar and carbs. To become fat burning adaptive you first have to drop sugar and refined carbs. It takes about two weeks to adapt.
