ALONE Season 8 Episode 7 Recap - grizzly bears, brain tanning, taxidermy, hypothermia, and more!

You treat each contestant with grace and humility. That's one BIG reason I'm still here and why I continue to explore your channel. Godspeed.

[@timwarnecke9889]

Another reason to admire you is the kindness and respect you show your competitors

[@bowenaero8770]

I had never watched alone before. The only reason I have been watching this time is you. I have been following you for a few years, because of the bow building and bow hunting. I think you are a good representation of Trad. bow hunters.

[@SlungBlade]

Clay I had no idea who you were when this season started. I've been enjoying your videos here since I found you had a channel, and I have learned a great deal, so thank you for sharing. The more I see of the lake and location, the angrier I get, it honestly seems like irresponsibly dumb place to hold a challenge like this. No salmon because of river blockages, huge population of hungry, untouchable bears because of no salmon, lake levels that make it almost impossible to fish without ahuge effort, pathetically low large game numbers, and the frankly ridiculous area limits. All animals range over whatever acreage they need to in order to get enough to eat based on the environment, the producers not adjusting for the environment is just insane. Regardless, thank you for giving us this perspective on your time with the show, it's fascinating to follow along.

Dude , your beyond on point. Congratulations on your win of season 8.

Thanks Bob

[@A.C._Taylor]

If you watch the bear's initial reaction to Rose when she first seen it, it bolted away from her. The bear's attitude changed when she hesitated and it went from defensive to offensive. Had she recognised that reaction quickly enough an capitalized on it, I don't think the bear would have been a problem. A black bear is highly unpredictable so nothing was for sure.

[@clayhayeshunter]

I saw that too

[@ericmiller1100]

Thank you for these excellent commentaries, Clay. It seems some of the scenes in the last couple or so of episodes are really dragging out. They spend so much screen time dragging out what seem pretty mundane tasks that I'm going to guess this season wraps up in short order. I know you can't comment on that but it's my prediction, now written in stone! We'll see if I'm right. ;) Thank you again sir.

Cant wait for next episode!^^

[@clayhayeshunter]

Thanks much

[@gregbagwell5543]

Enjoyed your updates Clay! My wife has always supported my hunting, and even seems to be interested in my rehashing the hunt on my return home. But I am a little surprised at her being pulled into the series as she has been...she even reminds me when it’s Thursday and ‘Alone’ comes on tonight. One tends to lose track of what day it is when retired you understand. :-) My concern for your success had me worried for your venison safety from bears. I understand that during smoking the meat is vulnerable and at this point you’ve taken precautions to slow a bears access and also alert you of his presence. After the smoking is complete, I’m hoping you’ll go vertical with the storage of the meat...out of a bears or any other critters reach. By the way, the Twin Oaks guys are all rooting for you! Pappy, the owner of the farm where Twin Oaks resides, is big into brain tanning deer hides...probably does a half dozen or so a year. He always try’s to pull the Tom Sawyer painting the Pickett fence technique on me when it comes to stretching the hides after smoking...I don’t fall for it! :-) Side note, doesn’t Robert Redford wear a deer head cap at one point during the movie Jeremiah Johnson? I love that movie! “I Hatchet Jack being of sound mind and broke legs, do hereby leave this bear rifle to any man who might find it...lord hope it be a white man! It be a good rifle, and kilt the bear that kilt me. Anyhow, I am dead now, yours truly, Hatchet Jack. Sorry, got carried away! :-)

[@jcknives4162]

Always a good review and thoughts. I do want to comment that another method I have seen (never used) was using the deer head skin as a covering over your head. I doubt this method is any better but I wonder if you have any thoughts. I also wonder if my rationing your deer, as thinly as you mention, doesn’t that keep you in body mass loss verses protecting the body mass that you still have. I was glad you mentioned it too. Lastly, I would appreciate a video on the hide tanning. I have seen different methods and some are more concerned with white or pretty finished hides so I wonder if your methods preserve the hide for use and not focusing on aesthetics.

[@arcoeco]

I would like to hear if you would change any of the ten items you took, and just heard you mention you decided not to take the tarp. Possibly that's another video? Maybe just tell me what you did take that you didn't get much use out of. I have thought I would not take the axe and swap that for a machete.

[@dewaynenunley569]

Rose about walked right up on top of that bear, you can actually see it on her camera way before she noticed it, and it was really close, I’d say less than 20 yds, when she finally saw it it had already took off going away from her and was another 30 or 40 yds away. Glad she is ok. You are the man Clay, I’ve been following you for a few years now and have built my own self bow, taught by you and swift wood bows.

[@clm652]

Watching Theresa try so hard to get that line set for the fish and what it did to her was almost heart breaking. She was so close to hypothermia and when that sets in she wouldn't even be able to call for help because the confusion and delirium that sets in would cripple her. She's incredibly tough, doing that fully fed in prime health would be very difficult much less 25 days into full starvation mode. Can't believe she didn't have a raging fire waiting for her when she returned from the water, would have been my number 1 task before even getting close to the water. This leads me to think confusion from lack of food is already setting in, its getting a bit dangerous. Hope there are more staff on site than we can see. They have to have a process for help in situations where the individual is incapacitated and unable to call for help themselves, right ? Just curious.

Really enjoying these recaps and am curious if you are still going to make a video detailing your deer hunt. Particularly where the deer was hit, how long it took you to transport, cut and processed the meat and how long it took to smoke. Did all 50 lbs fit in that nice smoker you built? Did you literally have to cut all the meat into strips? I know in Jordan's season it was much colder so he could just let whole legs/haunches etc freeze in his stash.

[@clayhayeshunter]

I’m planning to rebuild the smoker and smoke a whole deer this fall so I’ll talk about it then.

Hey Clay, I am very interested in your experience using the deer head as a decoy. It's probably worth mentioning not to use something like that during hunting season where other hunters might see it. And I am interested in seeing how you rigged the bear alarm. One last question, did you practice with your bow while you were out there? It seems like a person could get rusty after being out there for months without taking a shot. Cheers from Juneau Alaska, Greg Chaney

Hey Greg, yes I shot a lot while out there. I took hex heads for shooting at various things while walking around. ch

I wish I could get 50# off a deer. I think I average ~27# trimmed and cleaned from our little whitetails. In your situation I'd probably get ~32# having 0 waste. For a 2000 calorie diet you'd be eating 3 lbs a day so maybe 3 weeks at best if you had some berries and mushrooms as filler or the deer was a little fattier than normal.

That story of the Native person coming out of the woods there is another story based on his life called the last true Native American who pops out of California wilderness in 1920. The book used to be called Last Indian if you have older copies then early/mid 1990's but that got changed due to what 90% Natives want to be called either Native American or Native. A small 10% want to be Native Indian, trying to take back the bad word they are called but that seems to be a lost cause.

I remember reading about Ishi, the last of the Yahi Indians. Later read that it was written many decades afterwards and was not very accurate.

@@markhatfield5621 Yeah the one I mentioned is from 1920 interview and even that was not very accurate as where he was living would have been impossible or nearly impossible even for back then in early 1900's. Yet to read the book but other have said that where he lived was impossible or nearly impossible to be free and unnoticed.
