ALONE Season 8 - Clay Hayes, Jordan Jonas, & Nate Weber talk about their ALONE Experiences

[@SingleDadHomesteading]

Now that a group of real men that love their families and the outdoors oh ya!!!! Great talk guys

[@clayhayeshunter]

Thanks

[@DavidOnTheRoadGuitars]

Real men. Not to say they aren't manly but I'm a real man just not a bad ass. These guys are bad asses for sure. I can only have heart. But I'd die so fast. 🤣

[@Derchlands]

All men are real, real outdoorsmen yeah, badasses yeah.

[@k.g.r.2682]

Clay, as a sort-of wilderness venturer (but nothing close to what you men have done and with much fewer skills), THANK YOU for gathering the guys and having this discussion and sharing it with us. This is the sort of content that the producers should see as extremely valuable. Awesome video.

[@clayhayeshunter]

Thanks

[@jimnisbet1969]

Fantastic video Clay. I don’t think this can be purely about Alone. It was a true philosophical talk about human existence and the struggle that we all have to either overcome or succumb to. Wise words beyond their years. Thank you all for sharing your thoughts and experiences. Love the the family. Cheers again!

[@clayhayeshunter]

Thanks Jim

Been watching Clay build bows and hunt for long time, glad to see his content about to blow up on youtube, 👍

[@carlitosseverino]

I just watched Alone s.8 in my country, Portugal. As always, I have to congratulate the winner of the season, Clay. He was my favorite to win from the start. Not just for his skills, but mostly for his attitude and powerful mindset. Very happy to see everyone together, talking and remembering. Thank you Clay for the amazing moments, in particular your pre-win monologue... it was intense. Stay safe, boys!

[@Glimax]

This is so cool! I wish Roland was there too 😁

[@georgetteacree4200]

Thanks for this video guys….as a fan of the show, it’s amazing to hear all of you together…keep going strong😀

[@chipper841]

Fellas, really, really enjoyed listening to your exchange! Thank you all for choosing to share your experiences, trials, tribulations, triumphs! 👍 👍

[@clayhayeshunter]

Thanks

[@khaledadams4329]

I enjoyed hearing Nate articulate how somebody who has a conflict between their true self and their public persona, will struggle with a challenge like this.

[@clayhayeshunter]

Very true

[@andwatifisedno]

Thanks for doing this guys I really enjoyed it. Hope there are more collaborations like this in the future!

[@clayhayeshunter]

There will be!

[@ViliamiLatu]

Thank you for the great experience guys….. 🙏🏾

[@toddstewart4404]

Great interview Clay! Your comments from 13:30 - 13:38 were spot on! Since humans moved to a farming/urban lifestyle, we have lost the basic survival skills. It is rewarding to learn these skills. Also lost is the old rite of passage where usually adolescent males would go out into the wilderness alone for days to ... 'find themself' for want of a better phrase. Nate's comment about 3 days alone is a very achievable time-frame for many people. A long weekend would do it.

[@wildthing3112]

Mentally and physically tough but sensitive, introspective and thoughtful. Fine role models. Good on you gentlemen.

[@patrickleslie6876]

Love that all of you guys got together and talked about your experience. Also wanted to say that clay, you seemed like the protagonist all the way from the beginning. Knew you were a winner, congrats.

[@journeyman7189]

Excellent chat. I really enjoyed the way Nate spoke and communicated on the show. He has a very clear and articulate way of expressing his thoughts. I hope he starts a YT channel. Nate

[@clayhayeshunter]

Yep, he's a thoughtful fellow

[@mattswildpointofview5057]

This is really great to see you guys without the dramatic tv stuff, I do love the show but this is a good break to see Y'all laughing and being brotherly with each other.

[@clayhayeshunter]

Thanks Matt

[@themarekch]

Great video guys. Really appreciate you guys talking about the experiences.

[@jcknives4162]

Jordan talks a lot. Lol. But I really appreciated the comments about a 3 day challenge, value of family and the stark difference between thinking ahead and reality on the ground. “No plan survives first contact.”

[@clayhayeshunter]

Thanks JC

[@adam_riley]

I think it was Nate that was dominating the conversation.

[@dreadlockbanana]

I feel like it's always the dudes that have some sort of humble love for and connection with the outdoors who win this show. Like they don't like the idea of the outdoors, they genuinely love being apart of it.

[@Downeastwaves]

Thank you! What fun you Enjoy!

[@mattwhite9046]

Straight, honest talk. Thanks for letting us share part of the virtual campfire chat.

[@user-sz9ut8fb9o]

When I started watching your season of Alone I was instantly glued to you and interested in seeing your progress. My mom would call me and I’d tell her to “shhh” until Clay part goes off 😂 I was sooooo excited to see you win!!

[@ryanschmitz9731]

Enlightening conversation, boys. Nate is one of my favorite 'narrators' / minds to have participated in Alone, ever. Very articulate individual.

[@clayhayeshunter]

Thanks Ryan

[@RiverbendlongbowsOutdoors]

That was great 👍 Looking forward to the footage from the trip with Jordan

[@abtwopoint0]

They all respect Jordan so much, it's very apparent. Dude's a straight gangster 74 days in the arctic

[@JohnsonsOutdoorAdventures]

Great video! I love seeing the winners of Season 6 and 8 get together ;)

[@JohnsonsOutdoorAdventures]

I'm also glad you all addressed how bad those locations were!

[@zman9843]

More Americans need to experience living in the wild with very little. I think it would give them a better perspective of how lucky we all are to live in a truly free country.

[@clayhayeshunter]

Truth

[@uncleTbag86]

What fucking bullshit is this. It makes more sense to count nonfree countries than free countries because there is so many of them. What would really help americans is learning they are not the center of earth and all they believe is only for them is not but make believe through american propaganda

[@uncleTbag86]

As a dane i can get fired and not worry about the next paycheck. How many average americans can claim that?

[@jenantoniano7689]

I like Nate’s voice. He would be a great narrator in a show.

[@yoshihirohosaka]

The only disappointment here is that I didn't sign up for Clay's stick bow building seminar when I had a chance years ago! I even bought some sinew from him to build my stick bow eons ago. He's probably past all that. Glad to see him win season 8 and great to know a lot more successes are ahead for him! Big fan!

[@jordanpayne6838]

I can’t be the only one who’d love to see a season where it’s groups of two. I know it defeats the idea of being “Alone” but it’d be intersecting to see. Maybe a spin-off called “together”.

[@clayhayeshunter]

They did that in season 4 I think.

[@jordanpayne6838]

@@clayhayeshunter I was unaware! Only started watching the show in season 6. Love your content, and performance on season 8. Do you think they’ll ever do a season with the winners from each season? That’d be great to watch!

[@clayhayeshunter]

Who knows🤷‍♂️

[@MrGruver1]

About 16:00 minute the talk turned to telling a young person to take off for 3 days. America Indians did exactly that when a young man got to feeling like he wants to test himself he did a short journey of discovery.

[@clayhayeshunter]

A valuable time alone!

[@desertislandsurvival]

Dream tream. really cool to hear from you guys. nice one.

[@janetelleard9461]

years ago in Colorado camping with friends @10,000' one day 2 of the kids got mad about being told to take a nap. They decided to run away to hike out to grandma's house. LOL It wasn't discovered until hours and hours later.. went on a search. (plenty of black bear, puma, elk etc.. and 2 little boys). Eventually found them just at twilight tired and hungry.. but still determined. Their dad brought them back to camp and mom gave them a 'talk'. It was not an angry rant. It was more like: Where is your fire? Where are your knives? Where are your jackets? and etc.. Like if you are going to run away then next time you'd better be MORE PREPARED!!!! I always thought that was a great leaning experience for those kids. You guys remind me of the adults those kids became.

[@clayhayeshunter]

Good story!

[@metalcien098]

This is great. Just a few guys talking about God. Their strengths. Weaknesses and the wilderness. In the wilderness

When is the backcountry group hunt!? Great bunch of folks.

[@caseysmith544]

Tularemia is the scientific term for the thing people get eating rabbits/Jackrabbits out of season. The season is 2 weeks after first cold below 30 F or 0 C to the end of that as long as there is at least a half to full week above 30 F after, 2 days of warm then back to cold should not be an issue. Also this kills the other bugs/pests that live in the fur or if not cold enough, at least makes them inactive.

[@anthonylubic]

Nice thanks for sharing 👌🏻

[@ericksonjustinAK]

I enjoy your souls and spirit. All wise, modest, and caring gentlemen that really should be the inspiration to the world. This is the antithesis to shows like “The View”. We should lockdown everyone’s social media accounts and tv’s for a few weeks so we can “flatten the curve”.

[@JurassicJolts]

Awesome video

[@frostymcnuggets8504]

I learned that a long time ago when I lived in Kodiak, AK. In 5th grade we sold chocolate bars to raise money to Go on a week long trip to a deserted island. We had 4 adults and like 20-30 kids. No T.V. or electricity...we learned how to build shelters and hunt and fish. When I moved down to the states my little brother sold the same chocolate bars to go on a trip to kings island. I was laughing so hard... I really do miss just being out in the middle of nowhere and just living.

[@markreed1011]

Great video, that's some genuine wisdom. The observation that in today's society people don't get a chance to get to know themselves is bang on - and I think people and society are both poorer for it. Much appreciated

[@clayhayeshunter]

Thanks Mark

[@hanstseng6034]

the bear is right in front of you in the preview of episode 8 glad you're still here

[@thewwoods4557]

Good stuff. I agree completely that it’s good to get out for even 3 days. I did a 5 day pack in hunt last year and will, without a doubt, not deny that I could not last out there. I miss my wife too much and the life that the Lord has provided me. I have zero skeletons and sleep well. I just know what I have at home. Haha

[@clayhayeshunter]

😁

[@leskobrandon691]

There is nothing wrong with thanking the animal for providing you sustenance to survive. In fact it's noble & shows true appreciation that the animal's life has been given so that you can survive. It shows humility & true appreciation for the things that we take for granted in our spoiled rotten existence. Our luxurious lives would come to a screeching halt if the supply chain broke down. People would immediately understand the gratitude felt for something that gives their life to give you life. Selfish shallow people. Dude's answer was disappointing because he felt like he had to defend it, but at the same time played it down like he didn't respect the act of taking an animals life. Kinda like screw the damned deer or fish. I think it's appropriate to give thanks for everything we put into our bodies. It didn't get on your plate easily.

[@johnbailey520]

Clay did you know what berries you would find before you went? Are there poisonous ones there?

[@clayhayeshunter]

I did. And yes. There is something called bane berry that is toxic.

[@UncleDanBand64]

Good show

[@Starkraven100]

Hi Clay ...I would say congrats but not so fast. Myself a former wildlife researcher, so perhaps a bit more observant then most. Can you explain what was in your cast iron cook pot, in episode 5 as you prepared for your deer hunt? It sure looked like Penne Pasta in meat sauce. I noticed a quick cut to the scene and and then the pot is turned the other way and tilted so you can't see what is inside. I know there is nothing you could have been wild foraging that would have the color and texture of tomato sauce. Curious if you will respond to this ? Have been a fan of show and many of it's participants...but appears it could be fake like so much else they call reality.

Hi Clay, how dose heat work in a teepee? Would you show building a teepee , and can it work for winter? How dose the smoke work inside?

[@clayhayeshunter]

I've never messed with teepees much but I do know they work well when made right. They use a combination of smoke flaps and raising/lowering the bottom to mitigate and manage smoke.

[@jazzy8009]

Is it just me or are there more commercials than previous seasons? They show a little snip of someone then 12 commercials. I'm falling asleep waiting for show to start.

[@OsitoTejano]

You're not the only one. We've felt the same watching this season. It's aggravating.

[@theebigda]

Do they have rules about what animals you're not allowed to kill? I think I saw a Fisher in one episode that wasn't allowed to be killed. But what about other things? Like if a bear (black or grizz) was walking by could you arrow it? Of if it's a deer can you shoot only a buck? For $500 grand would you rather pay the fine for shooting something you're not supposed to shoot vs starving yourself out of the competition?

[@ironleatherwood1357]

Thank God and only God. Amen

[@parnellbeth]

[@noxot13]

were y'all allowed to eat the inner bark of the trees that have edible inner bark? I wonder if it's worth the effort. 1 pound of inner bark of pine is like 9 cups of milk.
