Bushcraft LANDING NET from ALONE Season 8

[@brunoboaz7656]

Just finished watching the latest episode of Alone and was so excited to see you harvest that deer! Great job, Clay!

[@MossyNutz]

Not used to creators uploading twice in one minute! Keep it up, you’re doing great work.

[@clayhayeshunter]

First time I’ve ever done it! But I thought they went well together.

[@sheliadeshotel1110]

Thank you for doing these videos. These are the things I wish the producers would focus on showing us instead of making us watch contestants cry over killing animals and endless talk about missing home. Basically, show me more survival and less emotions.

[@johnbailey520]

Agreed, and also less singing. Unless the next group contains an operatic survivalist expert.

[@kmonnier]

My man is unstoppable

[@jonathanoehlert5672]

You were the star on episode 6 for sure. Great stuff.

[@clayhayeshunter]

Thanks much

[@HobbiesHobo]

We're all rootin for ya Clay! Bet you wished you had some little piggies on Alone. Can't wait to see if you got the deer. Mike, in beautiful British Columbia (Vancouver Island)

[@williamproctor8614]

feral hog or wild boar would be a game changer on that show!

Shadow of the rainbow, Clay. Shadow of the rainbow!

[@edwards99]

Rubbing the Paracord inner strands against pine tree to get the pine resin on them is an excellent tip. Just started watching your videos and I'm incredibly impressed on the small details that you include that make the technique work! Like on your rabbit snaring video discussing how to put a small stick under the noose to keep the rabbit from going underneath it, straightening the snare out after you catch something, or on your bow video where you showed how to set your ax into a block of wood to help plane the bow. Those details are critical to helping a beginner master the craft and create a working product!!! Thank you, videos are awesome, keep it up!

[@clayhayeshunter]

I'm glad they could help!

[@andwatifisedno]

I LOVE that you're making these videos because I watch the show and I always want to know so much more.

[@gregbagwell5543]

Clay, the quality conclusion of this net was just another example of the attention to detail and performance you also put into your bow making. Study and practice honing these primitive skills pay dividends when it counts in real life. You didn’t “wing it” with your net, and it showed in the finished product. Practiced shooting skills with your bow allowed a quick and fluid shot at that buck to happen naturally when success or failure depended on that developed skill. There sure was a lot riding on that shot...possibly continuing in the contest or not. So glad you were successful! Hopefully you’ll be the one to consume your kill, and not a bear! I wish for your continued success!

[@clayhayeshunter]

Thanks Greg

[@nearlynativenursery8638]

Clay excellent demo on the net making and thanks so very much for sharing your philosophy and knowledge. Jim Rodgers

[@droneboss1186]

Southern Idaho here....nice kill on the buck. Rooting for you!

[@damienbates]

Clay, after you have the handle/hoop ready, try hanging the net and add one last row, while going around the hoop edges on the inside of the row.

[@clayhayeshunter]

Good tip

[@jordanwalmsely7502]

you are the man. shout out from canada

[@clayhayeshunter]

Thanks much

[@cmiller7672]

Wow! That net is an intricate work of art. Hopefully we'll see you scoop up a big trout in one of the next episodes. Congratulations 👏 on your deer!

[@A.C._Taylor]

There's always time to scratch your bacon. Another great video. Thanks for sharing!

[@clayhayeshunter]

🤣

[@swampbiologist]

Awesome! that's better than you can buy at an outdoors store!

[@jp2440]

Had to find the video because she thought for sure Clay bought his net at the store it was so good.

[@franotoole2702]

Turned out well clay.

[@fulcrum789]

Wow the little pigs just came right up to you. I was thinking I'll scratch your back you feed me later a win win. I am going to carve out a net needle and card then spend time watching the video again.

[@clayhayeshunter]

Thanks much

[@pickle225]

Love the vids man

[@cortleymaughan1831]

Thank you for sharing with us. I'm damn good in the wilderness, but after watching all the episodes of alone I realized I did not have a lot of the tools that I need if something happens and it goes from a hunting or camping trip, to having to survive with what you have on your person. So not I'm learning how to make nets. ML&R

[@Downeastwaves]

So neat! I will go watch the other video too. Thanks!

[@clayhayeshunter]

Thanks much

[@bruceallen6377]

Thanks for showing us how to build a net, can’t wait to give a try! P.S nice shooting, I knew you weren’t going to miss! Probably the best tasting venison you ever had!

[@clayhayeshunter]

It was fantastic

[@katmaners3071]

Man I have loved these Videos! But finally someone made a net so many have lost important fish at the bank

[@allensnook7760]

Pretty cool looks like alot of patience to complete but hey its killing boredom for certain,plus that big fish may just make it ur dinner after all.nice.snookie pa.💥🤟👍💥

[@max_fjellstorm]

A work of functional Art

[@calebscrazyamazinglife1795]

Nice buck by the way and cool smoke house i’ve only ever seen a A few big Game kills in Alone

[@protectyour2a482]

Clay, could you show us how to tie a gill net like they used a lot of in season 7?

[@clayhayeshunter]

In a future vid!

[@jimrowland6089]

That turned out nice. Extra nice since you're using the same tools you had on the show. I think I'm going to order the Leatherman Tool you are using. I have most every other model but I am liking that one you are using. Thanks for the videos Clay, you are doing an excellent job of showing your craft.

[@clayhayeshunter]

Thanks Jim

[@jonf2086]

@clayhayeshunter Did you have the metal ring as one of your items?

[@walkinharmonyhomestead2888]

Hey, those are IPPs, right?! Sweet! Would love to see more homesteading videos! SE Idaho here.

[@clayhayeshunter]

Yep

[@billandrews2772]

I was so happy to see that frothy blood ,,,, Savage !!!! You are the man bud ,,, what kind of arrows did you bring ? Fir , cedar , ??? Been shooting fir lately ,,,

[@jamesgreen4659]

more comments = more traffic for you so great video 👍👍

[@Mikedenton541]

How were you sharpening the blade on your leatherman and axe? A flattish rock from the beach?

[@clayhayeshunter]

Exactly! I found a nice flat one to hone the blades on.

[@Mikedenton541]

@@clayhayeshunter that would be a cool short video/idea to expose folks to.

[@ma7hatter]

Very cool! I would love a video on how you do those lashings, both on this and the fishing rod, they look super strong.

[@clayhayeshunter]

Check out the newer bow string making videos. It’s the same wrap I use for serving the strings.

[@ma7hatter]

@@clayhayeshunter Awesome, thanks!

[@GoannaEarthskills]

Amazing mate! Would love to see some videos on your snaring too!

[@clayhayeshunter]

Coming up

[@booshwaa2]

Thank you for doing this. I can understand the process(always seemed more complicated). Does it help if net needle need is thinner than the width of the gauging card? so you base the size of the net needle to the size of the gauging card or smaller and the gauging card to the size of net you plan to make? Sorry for all the questions. Thanks again for all this info you have already provided for us. Great stuff!

[@clayhayeshunter]

A thinner needle is easier to use.

[@fisherbill]

Can you please do a add on video that shows a clear view of how to connect the ends of the net? I'm to that point and having difficulty. Thanks for the educational information.

[@clintwelch9843]

Clay, if you haven’t already check out Larry Haun’s book A Carpenter’s Life as told by Houses. Enjoyable read detailing the evolution of American homes and includes the pit house used on Alone that were used in the Midwest up until the Second World War.

[@clayhayeshunter]

Thanks Clint

[@shanek6582]

I made an 8 foot radius, 16’ diameter cast net from thin Kevlar string, it’s slick too, when making the second wrap knot, I did it twice and it worked out great, didn’t slip when pulled tight. By the way, don’t try and make a cast net that big till you know how to throw one lol, it’s useless to me, I just use my factory 6’ radius one when casting for mullet.

[@tamjap1]

Do you have to be sure to have all of the required line on your needle from the beginning, or can you weave in a new piece if you run out?

[@clayhayeshunter]

You just reload the needle and tie in a new piece when you run out.

[@jamiemohr5082]

I saw the broken arrow after hitting the deer, did you recover the broadhead? Keep up the good work.

[@SpiritoftheOutdoors]

Great job man. I have one question. Why didnt you make the net around the frame to start with?

[@clayhayeshunter]

Check out the net making video and you’ll see how it’s made.

[@melindaburdette341]

That dinner with the ❤ .i could only amagin.🏩🏩🏩 blessed U.

[@clayhayeshunter]

Soooo good!

[@MrDavidboehme]

Suggestion: I like your videos and I think it would be great if you filled some of the dead/quiet air time with narrative explaining in more detail what you are doing. That could bridge the gap when the video isn't super close up and allow you to mentor us with some of your pro tips! Keep up the great work :)

[@clayhayeshunter]

Thanks David

[@navyboats93]

If you are at the end of the line, how do you start the next one? Do you tie old end to the new?

[@clayhayeshunter]

Yep, just tie in the new one.

[@almusquotch9872]

How much paracord did you take out there, did you start to run out at any point?

[@Downeastwaves]

Clay, would you please share with us the food items besides the fish, grouse and deer you were able to forage? We noticed Biko had some strings of something in his pot. Wondering what you were able to find? Mushrooms, wild onions, berries,and rise hips and???? They kinda skip over the food. Any grains, cat tails, dandelions or what did you make teas out of? Just curious. Thanks so much.

[@rook9714]

What did you use for the metal ring you wove the net onto out there?

[@clayhayeshunter]

I just used a bent piece of willow.

[@jeffjackson5331]

Cool

[@UncleDanBand64]

That will help you build patience😀

[@clayhayeshunter]

Sure will

[@bryanbordelon6400]

How much bank line do you put on your needle for a net like this?

[@clayhayeshunter]

As much as it’ll hold.

[@johnm840]

Wonder if you saved the hoofs for a later snack like Roland did. Intestine linings and stomach content guessing NOT from show video.

[@tiredredneck8159]

Yo clay, i just saw u get ur deer and im curious, did u take all the organs and intestins and cull fat and such?

[@UncleDanBand64]

Looks like you are being invaded by Wild Hogs!

[@clayhayeshunter]

😆

[@WesS2016]

And Bacon just walks on screen.

[@playsinclay]

I wish you had described everything you were doing making that frame for your net. I wish you had described how you got it off of the metal ring and what you did with those loose ends if you had to cut it off. I wish you had described how you were fastening it, using the knots around the edge of your frame. I wish you had described how you were wrapping that frame. It would still be trial and error for me to make that, except for creating the actual net itself.

[@olinrindal9999]

If you are interested in mending a hole in a gillnet I’d give you a lesson. Maybe do some skill trading deal. It’s what I do. Drift gillnet in Alaska. Also if I was in a survival situation I’d use your fishing line to build a gillnet web over the inner strands of para coard. Fish will see the para Coard net and won’t be as effective. You’ll catch a couple of the dumb ones but majority will swim up to the net and turn around. Here in Alaska single strand mono nets are illegal because like you say it becomes invisible in the water and is to effective as a killing net. I guess our F and G want to give our fish a fighting chance.

[@clayhayeshunter]

Man, I tried using mono to build a net and just couldn't get the hang of it. But they certainly do seem to be more effective in clear water!

[@MotoVloggedOUT]

You win, don’t you?

[@timne0]

Alone is missing a trick by not sharing your videos (and making that an offer as part of the series)

[@calebscrazyamazinglife1795]

Where is the recap vid are you scared that you Will talk to much too much about that awesome deer Talk all about that awesome deer we want to hear about it
