6 Days. Taking No Knife, Food, & Fire. 🛖

[@paulthomson2288]

Late stoneage technology was still advanced enough for cultures not just to survive and but to actually thrive. It's engineering and art combined with ingenuity. This is the most impressive and genuine survival clip on KZbin.

[@YourFavoriteEnemy]

Mr. Clay... Crazy crafting skills you have. I actually got stuned with the auto-drilling method to make fire... I mean I know other methods and watched other people follow the principle, but you took it way further, and I mean not just the drill... The basket, the raft, the glue, every tiny peace you crafted you did it with so much care and quality. Really impressed by you sir, respect.

[@ClayTallStories]

Thanks for taking the time to watch the full video. Cheers mate

@@ClayTallStories Thank you the interessting video. But on 17:23 you are wrong. Horse Hoof Fungus is not Chaga. It is also known as Tinder Fungus. But Chaga is something completly different. Chaga grows in cold climate zones and not only looks very different, it grows different and is not usefull for making fire. It is a very healthy fungus tho. Also Tinder Fungus is quite healthy, bc it is anti-inflammatory and therefore usable for tea making.

I never thought I would utter these words, but with all of the TV and internet survivalist channels out there, past and present, Survivorman Les Stroud has always been my go-to for realistic survival tips and living. Now I'm forced to say that I think I've actually found someone who not only can match with Les, but in a lot of areas, far exceed him. Such a breadth of knowledge. Thanks for the video.

[@uncletiggermclaren7592]

Just to let foreigners know, the passion fruit, figs and peaches, gooseberries, walnuts, and others are not native plants, these are plants that have gone wild out of someones homestead. New Zealand had VERY few fruit or vegetable native plants, before Europeans brought things from overseas. And what we did have, modern people wouldn't recognise as viable food, they are nothing like modern fruit. And most of what we did have needed a LOT of careful preparation to take poisons out of it. The Kawakawa berry he ate to begin with, five would give you strong stomach cramps and the runs, 20 would give you CRIPPLING pain.
