Tripwire Bear ALARM SYSTEM - ALONE Season 8

[@mr.fisher3973]

Pure genius!!!! Getting ready to sit down for tonight's episode of Mountain Men and Alone. Can't wait to see that up close and personal shot of the bear!!!!

[@clintdavis8200]

Sure is some pretty lumber. Looks like poplar. And that multi tool is a must have. Great video and congrats on the win. Pace high graduate and always good to see a local go on and do well. You and the family stay safe.

[@gegaoli]

Can’t get enough of Clay’s lessons.

[@johnd7215]

I have been following you trad bow stuff for years. I have always admired your handiness and craftsmanship skill with bows, arrows etc. I have a whole new appreciation for your cleverness. You fishing rod was another wildly clever idea. Good stuff.

[@clayhayeshunter]

Thanks John

[@A.C._Taylor]

The prospect of pranking his brother sure put a smile on his face lol!

[@clayhayeshunter]

It sure did!

It is such a pleasure to watch Clay's bushcraft. He is killing it on Alone!

[@clayhayeshunter]

Thanks much

Rooting for you man, keep up the good work!

[@Downeastwaves]

Thanks! Can't wait for tonight's show!

[@davidmathews2124]

Love the long saw. That’s a beauty. I think I have it’s little brother and it cuts super fast.

[@clayhayeshunter]

I love it!

[@aboriginal59]

You are definitely a woodsman engineer That's impressive and totally cool! Well Done Clay and Good Luck Out there!

[@clayhayeshunter]

Thanks

[@LeMayJoseph]

Felix Immler makes a lot of such contraptions from wood using his Swiss Army knife, and his recommendation with battening using such folding blades is to leave the blade open at 90 degrees to prevent the repeated blows from wearing out the spring locking mechanism, in order to preserve it for when you are hand-carving, so that the blade will remain steady and not slip due to the mechanism having come loose. I'm not certain if your Leatherman uses a similar mechanism, but if it does, I hope this piece of advice was useful!

[@bowman321123]

I don't forsee making one but I enjoyed watching the process. Loved watching your assistants help out was fun to watch, glad to see a Dad teaching his kids how to live life outside of the interweb. Amazing the things that can be done with the Leatherman, I have carried one on my belt for years, probably used daily for one thing or another.

[@clayhayeshunter]

I love mine!

[@RMFH450]

Hour and half long show tonight can't wait to see you win lol

[@lightingthedarkremoteviewi8086]

I like the idea of a mace trip alarm. Would work on people too! No one's gonna steal from you or hurt u after getting a face of bear spray!

[@jamesellsworth9673]

That is a fine concept brought to reality. Now I wish I had paid more attention to my Tinker Toy pivot and lever construction!

[@bobchristianson9701]

Some serious inginuity! Very nice job Clay.

[@arcanavoresmanavault2637]

Turning "roughing it in the woods" into "smoothing it in the woods" very smart.

[@clayhayeshunter]

Trying to!

[@blackthornknives]

Great job!

[@josephkahlich3326]

Nice. I am going to build this around our trash house that a black bear ripped the roof off of earlier this week.

[@clayhayeshunter]

go for it!

[@bradcement3068]

Very cool. Hope you are the winner of alone. I have learned so much from you already. Thanks!!!

[@jasonvickers2265]

Very smart 😂

[@esaubordin4024]

I learn so much from you Mr Hayes!

Such a great idea, I'm going to implement this idea and some trail cams, keep up the great videos!! Lisa in Washington

I love how you get your kids involved. 😂 You are definitely my favorite this season. This is the first season I’ve had to wait for episodes to come out. I bought and binge watched all the others.

You bet!

A great alarm for human intruders!

[@lisalee2885]

Right with ya! 😁😁

[@leemay7780]

Can you show how you sharpened the awl? My wife gave me the P4 for my birthday a few years ago and I’ve been bragging about your Leatherman it’s one of my favorite possessions.

[@danc6402]

You should be the new spokesman for leatherman. Those tools seem to have come a long way since I was a kid.

[@clayhayeshunter]

Yes they have!

[@bruceallen6377]

Very cool Clay!

[@blackmonday738]

Clay gotta say this was Brillant mate. 🤙 Stay safe no matter!♡

[@clayhayeshunter]

Thanks much

[@ldtexas1648]

I was actually thinking about that this day. Thank you!

[@RCshowmen]

Why the 90 degree trigger? The gas in most cans still works when the can is on it’s side. Seems a simpler solution would be to put the trigger lever near vertical with the air horn affixed to the base horizontally.

[@clayhayeshunter]

🤔 I guess I didn’t think of that 😜

[@cynthiamgentles6781]

Prevent, but deter as well with a portable electric bear fence around your campsite. 2.4 lbs of kit (the best fence) that brings huge peace of mind.

[@builtontherockdriftwood5327]

Genius idea - way to use things on hand to protect your cache. Have enjoyed watching you on Alone, and am appreciating your channel here. Currently shopping for a good multi tool - Am wondering if you’d have time to review the one you’re using here. Thanks!

[@clayhayeshunter]

I will in a couple weeks.

[@HDBrown-wc9xt]

Nice crocs man!

[@clayhayeshunter]

Damn straight!

[@UncleDanBand64]

I need to build one for the fridge to keep my wife from having late-night snacks!

[@greatplainsbow]

Great idea! The airhorn needs to be horizontal tho instead of vertical. It's much more likely to be tripped by moving against the wire than having to step down on the wire. Very cool tho!

[@phredphlintstone6455]

Most airhorns dont work when horizontal.

[@Jeremy-kw2fe]

awesome!

[@charlesleblanc6638]

Clay you better hope there's never a big scale grid crash because a lot of people are going to want to hang out with you !

[@ReviewsChannel-e4r]

Had you been on Gilligan's Island, they wouldn't have been stuck in syndication for 15 years. lol Nice video.

[@jeffreyarnold2626]

well since you are here talking about it, i guess the bear became the guest of honor at supper? lol

[@snieves4]

Can they even hunt them?

no, we couldn't use bait this season

Thanks 👍

[@David35445]

Cedar is a wonderful wood to craft with but do you ever notice how quickly it will dull tools? I know our eastern white cedar also has a nasty habit of picking up grains of sand in its rings as it grows that will put a nasty notch in tools. You ever run across that issue?

[@clayhayeshunter]

No but that’s interesting

[@downeastprimitiveskills7688]

Nice engineering.

interesting.. i'm lazy and just got a 12 gauge trip wire.. and use a BearShock portable electric fence that runs 72days on 2 Dbatteries..

Those electric fences are great but I could only use what I had.

@@clayhayeshunter We do the best we can with what we have. :) I commend you.. Your knowledge will be incredibly valuable in a SHTF and a barter economy also..skills can be bartered for other necessities.. the hierarchy of necessity: Air, Water, Food, and shelter.. (in that order) skills and creativity will get you far in a barter world.. it can be traded. My comment didn't have any negative implication. It was just an alternative. I envy your creativity.. I have been preparing for a couple years for the possibilities we face in this crazy world. I don't like being caught off guard, so i prepare.. :) Peace to you Clay.. May God be with you and your family..

[@shanek6582]

Too bad you couldn’t have just used your smoke house for a bear bait station and shot a bear to eat. Sucks that they put you in a place with all the game restrictions.

[@jvale22]

seriously, no gill net until day 45? what a joke

[@jamesgreen4659]

i’m using that

[@michaelArrigo1986]

I want to know why you didn't continue deer hunting after your buck ? Why didn't you eat 3 meals per day of deer instead of rationing?

[@clayhayeshunter]

We were only allowed one deer.

[@michaelArrigo1986]

Wow they put you on a survival show, but you can't kill anything. That blows

[@michaelArrigo1986]

Cant kill a bear, cant kill squirrels, can't fill net until day 45. I guess they didn't want the show to last long.

[@allthingsarcheryandshootin9380]

Just watched the latest episode on my dvr and I have to ask when that grizzly came at you and turned away at the last second... tell me were you checking your drawers because if that would of been me I sure would. Hey brother do me a favor no more chasing grizzly I want you to keep making great video and you can't do that if you are the main course LOL

😁last time I promise!

I bet he could have built a trap to kill a bear, and eat it. why build an alarm when you can get it for food source.
