Hunting for SURVIVAL: The REAL Life Below Zero

In the remote native village of Shageluk Alaska, moose is what's for dinner. Here, grocery stores don't exist, and the closest thing you'll find to an Uber is Chevy Roach's transport service. Some of you might recognize him from the NatGeo series Life Below Zero. This is my first time visiting Alaska and I'll be spending 10 days or so with Chevy, seeing how he and his family live in the Alaskan bush. After dropping off my friends Eric and Vance at a camp where they'll be hunting moose with their Traditional bow's, Chevy, his cousin Rodger, and I head out to look for a moose for Chevy's in-laws. This is true subsistence hunting.

Nothing better than a new video from Clay

Hell no, there's not! Modern-day mountain man

[@ImBetterThanYouHoe]

It's crazy to me how he doesn't get more views

[@gettosurfer]

Thank you to your buddies and their family for allowing us into their world. That was good to see.

[@MikeHansen-c2i]

I just stumbled onto this tonight. I've lived in Alaska for 50 years now. This is how we hunted years ago. A lot has changed since then. Back in the day we hunted for meat, not trophies and bragging rights. As I watched this, I could smell the river, the trees in the fall and the smell of fresh moose as you skinned it. This is what Alaska is all about. Great video, thanks for something real !

[@wesleygiddings893]

Thanks for sharing, I wish this was 2 hours long

[@tonyserbousek8367]

Clay I’ve learned so much from you the last couple years watching your videos. Thank you good sir!

[@clayhayeshunter]

Very welcome

[@Matt-d8m]

Awesome stuff. Working together to feed a whole community adds another level of satisfaction to a successful hunt. I’ll bet Chevy will use the bow once the proxy tags are filled.

[@Johggd]

Was finally able to buy one of his books The bowers traditional guide was an amazing read full of information that is perfect for beginners like myself It was educational, full of usefull tips as well as in depth guidance on each step of making bows and arrows It's a very good price for the amount in it and would highly recommend it to others This guy is something different and his content is a god send

[@clayhayeshunter]

Glad it was helpful!

[@ActualSurvivalist]

I wish more people knew how good Clay's books are. Including Surviving Alone.

[@bonniehyden962]

I lived in different places in rural Alaska for 18 years. I brought that mindset here to Texas: I'm not a squirrel; I don't eat horns. I hunt for meat. A lot of people go for the big racks. I could care less!

[@farstrider79]

That's a bit of a change in climate! 😂

[@KILLER9783]

I have lived in NYC my entire life, so I find this style of living so interesting. Your channel is amazing to learn and observe from, keep up the great videos!

[@AydinProductionsLtd]

Thanks to Chevy, his cousin Rodger for being good humans and feeding their elders. This is the way things once were when we as humans took care of one another shared and mad sure we were taking care of our families. Thanks Clay for sharing this

[@thehuntschool196]

Love that true trophy shot at the end! MEAT! Something I think that only people who process their own meat from beginning to end can really appreciate how valuable and how much work it is

[@jamesl2697]

Great episode I hope there’s more. Always thought Chevy roach was a nice / interesting fella. Nice to see some footage from a non edited TV show. Thanks a lot clay

[@clayhayeshunter]

More to come!

[@WilliamFluery]

Nothing healthier than naturally fed and finished wild game.

[@iwantcheesypuffs]

Did a lot of hunting but never from the bow of a boat. Amazing shot. First shot was a kill, just took a while for the lungs/heart to give out. Love how they used everything possible. Thanks for sharing.

[@3passa]

That beautiful beast standing there in the brush, a winter´s worth of meat. I had been looking forward to your next video, but as always, I´ve been very pleasantly surprised. Amazing insight into a life most of us have forgotten. But l must say l like your hunting style better. Thanks Clay and Chevy!

[@Cplblue]

Damn dude, I work at the airport and seeing it in your intro made me go, "what?! He was here?!" Wish I could've shaken your hand!

[@brettusmcvet777]

Tough tough hunting there. Survival baby. Moose come to human gas sounds

[@Clark42EoC]

Remember when you chased that Cougar...love that that was your immediate reaction.

[@phillipoyler355]

What a great experience. Thank you for providing the video

[@to8860]

Thanks Clay!!!

[@LimitlessSimpleton]

I did some salmon fishing today and got skunked. Seeing a new clay vid lifted my spirits some.

[@captainawesome1597]

Thanks for making this part visible, far too many think our only option is to head to a store.

[@ADVENTURESOFBZ]

It's actually surprising clay hasn't been to Alaska before!! You fit right in brother, tough as nails and no stranger to hard work. I feel like a life in Alaska is nothing but work. Beautiful work

[@kiwifarmer8828]

I get the impression he has what he needs, but he does live life on the cheap. It's expensive to get up to Alaska.

[@Angel-u2y4y]

I Love your videos, I always wait for you to post new ones.

[@ernest7015]

2:28 doesn't sound like all the other ppls effort to mimic a moose. Sounds like someone trying to imitate a moose call 😆

[@alaskamike2334]

I didn't know what was going on at first, I was like..That's why it's important to chew your food! 😂

[@quetzalt.v.1093]

Congratulations Mr. Hayes thanks for bringing us along your adventures, shout out from Mexico.

[@chadbooth4371]

This was a good one Clay!

[@The_Preacher_LLC]

Clay- your editing skills just keep getting better and better. What you choose to shoot and show us, its just another level from anyone else. Its fantastic.

[@clayhayeshunter]

Many thanks ☺️

That’s a hard-lived, hard-earned life. Would be a blast to hang out with those guys for a week or so!

Watching this before heading out to elk camp. Goodluck on your moose hunt Clay!

[@elbartoyoutube2915]

Broke back mountain would of called a shitload of Mooses lol

[@kenaidog6974]

I wish Alaska would make a law that requires non residents to take ALL the meat out of state with them when they shoot antlers.

[@huntexlee]

HOOO, I always love these types of vids, cant wait to watch this

[@psaub]

I am starting my bbq after watching this. smoked pork tonite! Such an awesome way to live!

[@Wblair8772]

Great video of a great lifestyle.

[@RomeoEdward]

Another great and interesting video Clay, I've been following you since Alone. Your developing into another but different version of Steve Rinella and I've been following him from the beginning. You guys should do a video together sometime.

[@TannerPoplin]

Both you guys are a huge inspiration to me !!

[@tims.9883]

Great video and insight, thank you.

[@Tyler.i.81]

Fish ice cream 😮

[@Juanny2023]

This was dam good content.

[@ddoherty5956]

You have to have a special mindset to live through winters like they have, im from 🇬🇧 and have decided I need to love closer to the equator 🤣🤣🤣

[@BridgesDontFly]

I think your government is helping to make the decision to leave that much easier.

[@philipsutton8921]

Thanks for sharing Clay. Don't want to be critical and a man has to do what you gotta do - but I sure do miss your clips taking game with your self-bow. They are something real special and I rush to the computer when I see a new one up. Unfortunately, videos of folks blasting game with a thunder-stick just don't have the same appeal. Here's hoping for the future.

[@jwjenkins421]

I was just in the anchorage airport 10 days ago. It was my first time in Alaska.

[@capthappy345]

Nice work 👍

[@Will7981]

By the time they said said they don’t have their ear muffs, I was thinking “Well what the heck do you have then!!?”😂

[@kdkulhanek]

Dude, great video! I would love to see you link up with Roland "rock house" welker!

[@joshfrey9336]

I liked everything about this video, EXCEPT the fish ice cream that just about made me throw up😂 But really, modern hunters need to watch these kinds of videos and remember what it's all about. Guys' wearing denim jeans not designer camo and the best part is how they could've cared less about the horns. Theres a true sense of fulfillment watching this, can't wait for elk season so I can hopefully fill my freezer and be grateful as well.

[@clayhayeshunter]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@donwaldroopoutdoors3665]

Just awesome! The way we should all be living

Yeah it’s be great to be giggling and flown on a personal plane to some luxuriously and admittedly remote hunting locale, dear. Where all supplies must be shipped in. At great expense. The way we’d all love to be living 🤣🍾 ✈️

[@antoniomarinho7380]

Very tecnológico for hunting..well beautifl..

[@guythurmond2837]

A really different perspective on hunting for food . By the way did you ever try the boiled linseed oil on the dried out antlers ? You'll be very surprised . It takes awhile but amazing results .

[@leighrate]

I trust you went bearing gifts. Useful ones. I suspect that Multi tools, high quality fish hooks, ferro rods, Mora knives or whatever costs an arm and leg up there will be greatly appreciated.

[@WhiteBreadThunder-op6in]

Not really. Amazon ships free to Shageluk. I can order the same Mora as you can, for the same price. Interestingly, except Ferro sticks. Can’t ship those by air.

[@jamesedwards6269]

Love it when people see what it take a to have meat.

[@cowelk]

So, cool. 3 year old bull and 500-700 lbs of meat. Wow!

[@johntellier2366]

Clay can fix that truck handle. Give him about 12 minutes 😆.

[@jonathanbennison9220]

16:03 I know that anything you left will also feed the wilderness, Like that fox and the eagles, and baby bears, and everything down the line. I'm just curious about the hide. Clay would normally keep a deer or elk hide. Was there a specific reason the moose hide was less viable?

[@ivandejanovic4963]

This was awesome to see. Thank you Clay and thanks to your hosts for letting us tag along. One question for people who know guns. What was the rifle used to kill the mosse and what cartridge/bullet (what ever the correct english term is) does it uses? As a person who only shoot Zastava M-70 which is Serbian copy of AK-47 in the military I would like to know what it takes to effectively kill an animal of that size. Thanks in advance.

[@clayhayeshunter]

This was a 45-70. Big bore rifle!
