You were the first one in Alone who looked like someone capable of surviving there :-)

[@Mwwright79]

Agreed! So many seem to be capable of surviving for a time, but this fellow was different. I got the feeling that he was learning , adapting, and could have maintained a life there if need be, not the feeling that he was just holding on till they came to get him. Not taking anything away from the grit the others had, just a very different perception of their mental mindset.

[@mattswildpointofview5057]

Man Clay's got a lot of people in my community in his corner and I hope the best for him. You were my family's interdiction to Alone because of something we seen advertising your hi lights on the show and we where cheering for you. This should be a entertaining season.

[@cdevries86]

You set the bar pretty high when you won the show my friend, I also agree Clay will be a very strong contender and I think he will take the win

[@ExploringIntuition]

Just watched the opening episode last night. I always try to ask myself "what would i have done different", or take note of things that work well for them. If there is anything i have learned from watching previous seasons, its that you just never know. I definitely never criticize them in any way. I think its very important to humble yourself before you go, before nature does it for you. I've yet to see a contestants with your skill set however in my opinion. I've seen alot of folks with great survival skills and knowledge who did not succeed. I think its clear that it takes a wide skill set: survival, crafts, psychological, fortitude, courage. Definitely a lot to learn from you though. Cheers! Hope you're doing well.

Well Done Clay! Mushrooms and Grouse while looking over your territory!

[@bushhack]

Thank you Jordan! I saw season 8 and I learned a little more each season. I am curious about innovation vs rules that is very unclear as contestants wrestle with the need for food. I see a lack of knowledge about nutrition and appreciation for proteins sometimes. . I still see a lack of ingenuity for keeping feet warm. Not sure why that is. Fire seems to be treated the same in most cases. Water is fetched rather than some gathering method devised. If I was alone I’m sure I’d find it just as hard as others. I did not like seeing people get hurt. But that’s always a risk.

[@mattfx324]

You’re an absolute legend.

[@thebadge493]

Hi Jordan. Was so stoked when you got that moose! You really made that season of Alone..interesting. Just wanted to say that Im pretty excited to have "Alone" being shot on location in my back yard. Well...its a 4 hour drive from where I live but close enough! This area is truly amazing and with all the wildlife it has to offer is going to make this season epic!

[@hobojordo]

[@tramp413]

I really enjoyed watching you on alone. What a gift to have that moose cross your piece of the pie. Your had to have had a baby heart attack right after making that shot. Then to realizing you would not have to leave because of hunger what a relief you must have had. If only you had been selected for the big price show last season I think you would have cost alone another mill. I have written into Alone twice now. First time last year or for this coming season, and again about two weeks ago. Is there any way to pick your brain on how to show my skill set, in a manner you think they would want to cast me? I know by now the people that are getting casted are outstanding in someway or the other. That said I believe I am more of a even inly sliced pie then most. Meaning I believe I am well balanced in what it will take but do not have one thing that will set me apart. Please let me know if you would look over my emails and help me maybe word them differently or of course you could also just tell me to forget it I do not have what they want. Thank you for your time! I think Clay has this year but the women they are selecting are always wild cards man they have had some great earthy women on this show!

[@chrispalffy3511]

Enjoyed your breakdown and your insights Jordan, havent had time to check everyone out properly but will do. Ill pay more attention to Clay and Nate now you say. I think along the same lines, the back country hunter, fishing tpye guy with a bit of stubborness and a little luck thrown in can do it. Hope we see more from you again this year.

[@TheBowhunterinNB]

Only way I could win alone was if Jordan, Roland’ , Greg ovens and clay Hayes could be the first four on my ten items list . Great video

[@coondogsoutdooradventures2484]

Thanks for doing this ! No time this year for me do too much checking but I picked Nathan too to do well or at least root for him being close to 50. You kept saying how being thin was a disadvantage, and that is why I picked Tim Backus over you lol. I was rooting for you though. Glad I was wrong . Great point about the backwoods hunters having a leg up. Hoping for a change still ,but I think us guys in their 50's are considered by ITV as a liability after the injuries with Tim and season 4 so not expecting anything. Although in July I'm climbing an 8000 foot mountain, and doing another expedition in September so 56 has not slowed me down! Thanks again! You and Dave McIntyre are my favorites! Still waiting for a video on the spiritual side of being on alone . I'm not going to let you forget you said you would do one! Lol

[@hobojordo]

Awesome! We have so little info to go off of that it's alot of guessing ha... But I will say one big cause of suffering out there is dehydration! He's not planning on making that mistake

[@ke6gwf]

@@hobojordo I have spent a lot of time around Matt in the woods up in the pine Barrens, as well as in California, and now he's been in the islands for a few years, so he knows about constant wet weather, and plenty of cold as well. Looking at what he brought, and knowing the skills he teaches and is just good at, I will be shocked if he doesn't thrive up there, because while he doesn't brag about how good he is, and makes choices others think are stupid, he took the things that will make it easy for him, the High Speed survival equipment, and with his skills, they make perfect sense. With him, try looking for the reason why he does things, as if he knows what he's doing, even if it's not how you would do it ;) For instance, making cordage, cooking and water storage are among the hardest and most time intense primitive activities, and he just solved all of them, meaning he can concentrate on finding food and making long term shelter.

[@jamesellsworth9673]

Your point about a fair edit: one of the square-jawed, muscled-up participants has already been shown missing a clear archery shot at a partridge sitting in a tree for a good while and then not doing well at early fishing efforts. Could be misdirection?? Along similar lines, (I believe) Michelle is being shown with illness issues in the intro pieces to each episode. If my ID is correct, she is my pick for a relatively early tap-out. My concern with Theresa is her very deep foraging skills don't appear matched with big-game hunting skills or with fishing ability.
