ELK Hunting CAMP 2021 - A look inside our WALL TENT Camping setup

[@RobertHart-ik7wm]

Very similar to how I set up my camp. One thing I add is mouse traps which helps slow down the mouse issues. A front vestibule helps keep stuff out of the sun and a place to strip off wet jackets before entering the tent. I would not drink straight out of any water source without a filter. I don't want my trip ruined by drinking a "bug". Glad your spending time with your entire family.

[@Docochoco39]

Excellent organization! For first time campers and hunters I HIGHLY discourage drinking out of ANY creeks, rivers, etc. if you choose to do so, there are things you can buy to make the water safer amply boiling the water. I personally know of 2 hunters that became very sick and had to be taken to the nearest hospital for treatment. The guide told the it was safe to drink the creek water. It’s not just cattle or other people that can make water bad.

[@bugnfront]

I remember at our first hunt, I was. 10...my dad told me this little saying...to a bear, a mummy bag looks like a burrito...but our job is to not let ours smell like one!

[@ElsaRhae]

Looks so homey. Congrats on a successful season🎊

[@clayhayeshunter]

Thank you!!

[@conierodulfo7200]

Great explanation n clearly everything is organized. Wow. Complacent.

[@antondefense3325]

Congratulations on your Elk. Looking forward to that video.

[@clayhayeshunter]

Coming soon!

[@mab0852]

Congrats on the successful hunt. Almost feels like a vacation cut short when you got all setup and comfortable and tag out early. Spray the table with Flex Seal or bed liner.

[@tradhunter5976]

Clay, I use yoga mat cut to size on my portable tables in my workshop, don't even need to glue it down.

[@gcruishank9663]

Wall tents are awesome. I'm in BC and I've got a 13'x16' and I thought that was big, that thing's massive. Bit of work setting and tearing down but way better than any other tent I've had.

[@ndmike]

I really like the old Dodge Crew Cab behind you!

[@clayhayeshunter]

Thanks, I built that truck

[@beesmongeese2978]

That's a funny thumbnail Clay. Your own mini pet elk

[@clayhayeshunter]

We keep that one around camp 😆

[@willisbyler811]

Great Hunt ....... Your A Blessed Man That you can hunt with your Family Keep it up

[@richarddean3154]

Thank you for the great video. It is nice to see the family that gives you strength and support. Too many men exclude their family, implying that they do it all with no help.

[@clayhayeshunter]

They’ll be a big part of the elk hunting vid as well.

[@donazzopardi8747]

Silicone mat works great for stopping cutting boards and things from sliding.

[@soleillebolduc2448]

So nice to see other people’s organization process and ideas. Always something you may not have considered. Thanks!

[@johnk6264]

Family Elk Camp. That is so cool. Congratulations on the successful hunt Clay, Cant wait to see the hunt

[@revelatoryartist]

Awesome Camp excellent setup. You look mellow and calm. Maintain mellowness, don't go crazy buying. Say no often to the cousins u don't know who suddenly want to borrow. LOL BLESSINGS

[@leegodfrey3490]

Great video thanks for sharing. Try putting a wet paper towel under your cutting board to keep it from sliding

[@jenniferstewarts4851]

love the set up, the only things i tend to add is, solar panels, a large solar battery bank, that lets me charge devises as well as run a small fridge/freezer, as well as interrior lights, and.... bug netting ont he cots. LOL.

[@waynepatton689]

Can’t wait for the elk hunt!!

[@allthingsarcheryandshootin9380]

Great camp Clay, so how has life been since alone... I bet your glad to be home.. So you got your elk in a few days great job.. Elk hunt is on my bucket list hope to do it one day myself. Thanks for sharing.

[@bowhunterd2407]

Holy crap it’s the guy from ALONE! Congrats on that, you were my pick to win from the beginning!! Was a coin flip between you and Colter. Glad you got it done!!!

[@clayhayeshunter]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@RiverbendlongbowsOutdoors]

The Lifetime brand coolers are just as good as Yeti and affordable 👌 Great camp Clay Glad to hear you got an Elk

[@farstrider79]

Looking forward to all the videos!

[@Pooch1953]

Go to Wally World and buy a roll of the rubber shelf matting used to keep glasses and dishes from sliding around in your cupboards, roll it out on the table, take it up when done, you can wash spills off of it by sticking it in a sink and it is light weight and no need to glue it down.

[@Will7981]

I'm looking forward to the upcoming videos. They sound good.

[@j.r.w6623]

Good video Clay I love my Utah cylinder stove

[@mikewolfe6496]

Also, nice moose sheds! And do you think you brought enough saw for firewood? Lol

[@ncbeast3059]

Hey clay, I was wondering if you could do a gear review on first lite and their new camo pattern. Can’t wait to watch those elk hunting videos

[@clayhayeshunter]

Sure, I talked about there stuff a lot in the previous video where I talked about the clothes I took on Alone.

[@stevew2347]

Isn't that the way it goes. Bring supplies for a months long hunt and success comes the first week. Congrats on your elk.

[@clayhayeshunter]

Good and bad!

[@stevew2347]

That's what I was thinking. It's a good problem to have.

[@zebulunturner2974]

outstanding, thanks! always enjoy seeing the hunts but it's important to be able to live out there to hunt :)

[@adamw4469]

The real star of the show at 7:59

[@raccoonlittlebear6476]

That's an awesome camp setup, Clay! The only thing I like better is a tipi. The wool point blanket is an essential in my lodge. Cheers pardner!

[@RMFH450]

comment for the algorithm...looking forward to see that elk hunt video too!

[@gregraines8082]

Nice set up. I’ve been wanting a Montana wall tent.

[@scottishtexan33]

Good stuff, can’t wait for the hunt videos.

[@franotoole2702]

Looking forward to the new season clay. Mice are actualy worse than bears i found. What i did was get the sonic plug ins, an inverter, car battery and a solar panel. Worked fantastic. Never had a problem with them after that.

[@clayhayeshunter]

I’ll look into that!

[@free-rangingmorgans2920]

Can’t wait to see the Elk hunt!

[@clayhayeshunter]

Coming up

[@jabeita1]

Some great camp-tips!! ...kind of disappointed you got your elk so fast. LOL! I was kind of hoping we'd see you out there for the full time. ha ha.

[@clayhayeshunter]

Yeah, you and me both. But when hunting with a stick bow, I’ve learned to not pass up opportunities!

[@randyhermann1]

Great setup. Similar to ours but on a bigger scale. We usually have two guys per tent and only stay 1-2 weeks.

[@jenniferstewarts4851]

Hudson bay trading company blankets! I love those. and surprising how many people don't recognize HBC colors.

[@clayhayeshunter]

We love ours too!

[@fulcrum789]

Quality choices there

[@ASunnyHawaii]

Shelf liner grip mat. Cheap & easy. $8-10. No need to glue, sticks to table and object. Just lift off, shake mat and wipe table as needed.

[@clayhayeshunter]

Thanks

[@davidlee4576]

Thanks for the tour. Congrats on the early harvest.

[@clayhayeshunter]

Our pleasure!

[@shellmaker10]

Get the Non-Slip Router Mat, 2' x 3' from Rockler for $10.39 should work great.

[@Rick9802]

Try bed liner on your table it works good!

[@clayhayeshunter]

Thanks for the tip!

[@cynthiamgentles6781]

You might use portable electric bear fence around your camp or field processing sites . Lightest is 2.4 Ibs , so you don’t feed the bears.

[@wyomtnhippie]

To sum up rusty shacklefords question in one word, “peaceful” is how it’s done!

[@chuckhelms5248]

when are you going to do the review of the final episode? thanks

[@Mjl1158]

Awesome video, thank you!! Wonder if you would have as much of a rodent problem if you had a wall tent that came with a floor?

[@kylehall6100]

Use rug no slip matting for your table it's cheap thin and will probably last quite a while

[@clayhayeshunter]

Thanks

[@rustyshackleford9017]

our mountain camp looks nearly identical, but we pack in so our pack boxes turn into shelves/ table/ cooktop instead of a table

[@Crabbthecaveman]

I know it’s really you dale!

[@chesterwatkins9265]

Great video...

[@bugnfront]

Question, are you hunting where there are no bears etc. Where I live we never cook in camp nor store food in camp Had 2 bears tear up the tent/camp. Just curious.

[@clayhayeshunter]

There's a few black bears around but no griz.

[@bugnfront]

@@clayhayeshunter good to know..I am in High Rockies..

[@bamaG1966]

Clay, awesome stuff! Wish that I was still young enough to do what you do .Curious to know if you are related to the folks in the Jay/Mt. Carmel community. They are really good people, took good care of my parents during their stay there

[@bobchristianson9701]

You mentioned you have guys building bows with you. Do you put on clinics where a guy like me can partake and if so, how?

[@tdryden2196]

Clay, nice setup. I noticed in your video that Liz was cooking inside the tent. Wouldn't the tent wall get splattered from grease and food splatters from cooking inside and start to smell? We have an outfitters tent and we find that if you cook inside, the tent will start to smell bad. We try to cook outdoors in a sheltered area.

[@clayhayeshunter]

Been doing it that way for years without issue. She’s not too messy 😉

You need a ground sheet inside the tent Clay. Not much fun with damp, soggy ground inside your tent!

Pretty dry here. We’ll have one for late season.

Cool camp! How do you handle bears around the food?

Never had any problems

Great setup! We are not campers nor hunters but maybe in the future we’ll tag along with my daughter who loves to camp. Btw I had signed up for the email list, any info about your book? I’d like to give it to my daughter for Christmas. Thanks

A damp paper towel/bar towel under the cutting board will solve your sliding issues.

[@mags4013]

Hi Clay! I know you are one busy dude. But I have a guestion for you. I have been shooting for couple years now. And I think it would be a time for an upgrade. Just getting my hunting license and ready to go for my first real hunts bymyself. I want something that I know for 100% sure is going to be me, who is going to be the bad shot. Not the bow. I have watched alot of your videos the past couple years and even commented on some of them. So I know you are a straight up guy! Do you have any recommendations for a good quality bow? All tuned and set up. Fred Bears bows still good? They sometimes run in the -30% marks, so you can get their top of the line bows for 500€, here in europe. At somepoint you had some of your bows for sale, but they are a bit out from my price range. Edit. Then on the other note. What would be the best of the best? If I want to go all in for a hunting bow? Still love all of your hard work! Cheers from Finland!

[@clayhayeshunter]

There are so many options I couldn’t say what’s the best for you. You will have to tune the bow and arrows to yourself though. Give 3Rivers a call. They can help you with the right selection.

[@mags4013]

@@clayhayeshunter Hi man! Thank you for your answer!

[@johnd0e25]

This may be a stupid question, but why leave after killing only one elk? Do you only have one elk tag, or is it because it's enough for a year for your family?

[@clayhayeshunter]

Just one elk tag. Liz also has a tag but it’s for a different unit.
