This is perfect. I’m 16 and since I was 12 I’ve been so into survival for any situation. This is exactly what I’ve been looking for. So calm and I really learn a thing or two. 😄

Willson running off with the meat bigger then him was funny as, he hurried up with the theft as you shouted him 😂

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 !

[@BricktopsPigs]

Maaaan,this guy is just legit. Never have i watched a man eat a fish and had a huge smile on my face. He REALLY enjoyed that flounder lol. And the fact he befriended a bird and fed him too and the bird hung around his camp is just brilliant.

[@masterk5372]

Right fking Awesome 😂

Shot bro he's real deal a. Much love from Levin.

[@GodRock369]

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?

[@norbertvasquez6703]

I've watched this twice now, my friend. Great vid, thank you for all your efforts and for sharing your knowledge.

[@ClayTallStories]

Very welcome

[@chrisbarbz9238]

Ray is one of the most delicious fish I ever tasted. Make a local coconut curry with tons of chilies.. Heaven!

[@alexkonrad5451]

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

Cool video Clay. I love that shit! Thanks for the tip! I thought flounder were only around in the warmer months. I'm on the Coromandel peninsula so it's a bit warmer than where you are. I'm going to go have another look, but I'm going to try it your way with a fire torch. But instead of walking, I'm going to do it on a SUP, and my spear will be my paddle.

[@ethandorward2220]

I've been camping, both standard and shelter build most of my life. I'm also subscribed to many outdoor channels. Having said that, I've witnessed things in this video that I've never seen before, and it is really exciting to learn something new. I think I'll have to subscribe and happily so.

[@taranscott155]

Respect. You definitely don't make it easy on yourself. I don't think anyone would begrudge you a pocket knife, which would be a game changer for you. I've done some long minimal-kit trips before and the work never stops. I couldn't help but smile watching you chew down on that flounder - hunger definitely is the best sauce. My daughter and I thoroughly enjoy your channel - thanks for taking us along for the adventure 👍

Hello I enjoyed your informative video and found it fascinating! I live in Vermont on a secluded mountain top. I’m 75 years young and unlikely that I’ll find myself actually practicing what you preach. Maybe in the next lifetime. Meantime, I’ll just tag along. Scottie

[@ClayTallStories]

Good to meet you Scottie. Growing old is a luxury not everyone gets to have.

[@bubbakemp5817]

Great video! You tried with basically nothing, imagine if you had a knife and maybe a few other pieces of gear! Great job Clay! God bless!🙏

[@JavierBonillaC]

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.

[@gregwells8764]

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.

[@umbrellacorp.]

I like Wilson, he's a nice and funny pet to have. 😄

[@warnsey-1]

Hey clay, I think you are missing a trick here! I’m in the uk and would PAY to come over and experience/ learn/ generally get back to nature! You are an inspiration bud, I know it wouldn’t be a party/ glamming but that is what makes it so interesting and challenging….life skills, humbling! Good job!

[@ClayTallStories]

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.

[@controlledrecoil-nzhunting]

Thanks mate. Great watch as always. I love doing a good survival challenge and testing the skills. You take it to another level for sure. Always something to learn and this video certainly didn’t disappoint. Cheers 👍👍

[@antonposa5345]

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.

[@ClayTallStories]

[@hugoparker1245]

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.
