I’m part of the 99% that think your an all round good bastard Clay! I think your’ve had quite the a positive impact as a role model for many young guys, particularly NZ’s who are into the outdoors, and adopt some of your values and qualities.

I'm 57 now a pom . The first smart phone I have ever had. Don't know shit about these fucking things. Email s ?? Was a plasterer once still am in my head. Can I join the old bastards group once I get my head around this thing. Old bastard is great. Lost count on the amount of times I have been told I'm a LARGE VAGINA!! . 😁

Hi Clay, 25 here. It's a pleasure to be able to listen to your videos, and I've been watching for about 4 years. The sub count has grown heaps, but more importantly it's been great to hear your input on life and see you grow and change your opinions. A lot of the older fellas I know are so stuck in their ways they're going backwards, so I've always had a huge respect for how you carry yourself. I lost my Grandmother in November of last year following a stent procedure she did not recover from, following a heart attack. I know you deal with heart disease too, but it hits home when you talk about it more, now. You're a legend and nothing less, hope to see many more videos in the future when your health permits it. Cheers, Jakob

Hey Jacob, sorry you lost your grandmother, bro. There is always a risk putting in a stent that the catheter can break off a piece of soft plaque cause either a clot or heart attack. For that reason, when I was booked to have my stent, I canceled it. I now no longer need a stent. Thanks for your comment bro.

I had a Stent done Nov 2013. Mine was successful, fortunately. Sorry to hear about your Nana.

I know 3 different Rory's. One was my father in-law. 20hrs. Thanks for everything bro. You're the realest.

I love your survival type videos. I have watched others who do videos...I survived 24 hrs and I think to myself... seriously how hard is 24 hrs alone living off the land. But when I watch your survival videos I truly learn something.

Good on ya Clay,say it like it is, All the best for your 60th 👍

I'm 50...I been catching pigs since I was 14..I've had some good dogs and caught alot of good boars from one end of NZ to the other....I can tell all you young fellas out there that the best pig to catch is a fat 80 to 100lb sow...no vet bills, no dogs dead or stuffed up , no tears and no jealous pighunters trying to poison or steal ya dogs....good on ya clay

73 year old sister here and I find the videos fascinating.

I was dreading 2023 as I was was turning 60 & becoming a grandfather for the first time & both events had me shitting myself. As a kid I though anyone aged 50+ was just an old bastard on borrowed time lol. I've now come to terms with my age but becoming a grandfather is the absolute best thing. I lost my bro during the first covid lockdown & my Mum during the second covid lockdown & so due to covid funeral restrictions my family couldn't celebrate both passings. But my grandsons arrival has had a significant positive effect on me & I feel this joy within every time I see him. Anyway...appreciate your vlogs & candidness. Keep well fella.

As always great video. I understand now about Clay Tall Stories and look forward to the next. Hooked on The Bro Check club for the great content too! Take care bro.

You're spot on about the 4cyl Toyota's. As soon as they've got a few tonne behind you're wanting for a bit more power. Love listening to your thoughts Clay. I reckon you've got a unique way of thinking that puts ideas in people's heads they otherwise wouldn't have had. Hats off to you for carrying on despite the shitty commentary brother 💪 Cheers, Chef Jimmy

Hi Clay, good to watch you again. I was wondering where you had got to. Now I've found this channel I got a heap of videos to catch up on. If it wasn't for the negative comments I would still be filming my hunts. Anyways, hope all's well mate, alot of us appreciate your content 👍🏿

From what I've been reading/listeing to; YT Shorts aren't great for building a channel and there's been more traction being gained now for the long form. The longer form gives you solid subs who watch for longer; which in turn is better for monetisation etc. Plus they are continually watched over time/years; not just for a short period and then that's it. I've made a bit of a mistake by pursuing Shorts. It's built nearly 5k subs; but the analytics show that those subs pretty much only watch shorts

I would go anywhere in the world to have a friend and a little support. I too love hunting, fishing and a little basic bushcraft. So yeah, here's to people like you.
