Coastal Camp, Forage & Fishing With What I Can Find.

New Zealand, South Island, Tasman. 21.01.2022. My personal challenge is to go camping on the coast with nothing but a life jacket, PLB, the clothes I am wearing a GoPro, and a bunch of batteries. My objective is to find fresh water and make something to hold it in. Find or build a shelter that I can sleep in then find string and a hook to fish with. To somehow find the materials to build a boat and go to sea to catch a fish. To forage the shoreline at low tide for shellfish and pick any berries or fruits growing along the coastal flora. I am not far from my home so I know this place well. Join me as I set about this adventure.

"It's got that bird shit bouquet about it" "fuck that's good, get some more of that" I'm not even 8 minutes in to my first time watching Clay and I'm already in love oh my god hahaha

It got me laughing so hard 😂😂😂😂

You really are made for these types of videos... I can't help imagine what a young Clay would do in his prime, with a go pro and some of the stuff you'd get up too and film. Probably take over the internet if it was around then!

[@ClayTallStories]

Man, if I had my youth I would smash it out of the park. I do these challenges with damage to my body from cancer heart disease and injuries. Thanks for recognizing the potential in me.

Just this week I made home out of an 8'×10' canvas tarp and my trusty hammock. Turned out 40°f first night and 45° next. I caught an 18" bass (full of eggs). Mmm mmm good! After four days I had to break camp. I missed my coffee! Great adventures.
