A new season of Meat Eater makes me feel like an 8-year-old on Christmas morning

[@petermonis4616]

😂😂

[@user-ec4sh8vy2u]

Exactly!

[@alicianordick1952]

My son is 8 and I think he prefers a new season of meat eater over Christmas. 😂

[@alisacarlisle1353]

It's better then Christmas.

[@TheProfessionalAmateur91]

@@alicianordick1952same!! Haha we are doing something right 🤣

[@duxi1693]

Whenever there’s a new episode on Steve’s Alaska cabin it feels like getting a match on Nuketown. Just happy for a classic.

[@loudmouf9246]

That comparison is crazy because it’s accurate.

[@famouslyunheardof8169]

Don’t think there’s a better comparison. 😂

[@jordanhouse38]

Dude just reading that felt good haha

[@Wyoming307xx]

I felt this comparison in my soul 😂

[@user-hg8xv8jb3t]

Man, I could listen to Steve and Clay's banter all day long. Great stuff.

[@ecv03]

Do you listen to their Podcast? It's called Meateater. Bear Grease is Clay's. There great.

[@chauncymcgillicuddy1079]

the fish shack episodes are my favorite, I'd love to sample all that beautiful spot has to offer. i'd watch 10 hours of this, no problem

[@coon3869]

It’s so funny to me how awkward clay is with a rod in his hands

[@left-handedstan4506]

It's like an actor/actress "smoker" who doesn't smoke. Instant tell.

[@andrewpals3019]

I’m not sure he has ever fished. Atleast it looked like it

[@sg0310]

Yeah he high stick'd the hell outta that fish, had to have been what caused it to get off.

[@pogeegitz]

Clay was definitely fighting it weird.

[@markperkinsband]

Funny how some people don’t have a knack for fishing. But then, Clay could do everything else in the world better than me. 😂

[@OroStation]

How about the guy filming the wetsuit bear hunt? We never give the photographers enough credit.

[@TheOleOtter]

Yea they do in the credits

[@thefisharcher6784]

Really hope you boys know what an inspiration you all are.

[@TWILITEScopes]

🙌

[@tysonleeblanchard]

The cabin episodes are always my favorite because of the biodiversity. The fishing mixed with the hunting on public lands without fences or borders makes it really special.

[@TroyOttosen-jg7tt]

It’s called everyday Alaska!

[@anactivemarketcrash742]

Absolutely ecstatic everytime Steve is in an episode.

[@chrisneibert4204]

Lol you people don’t understand how this channel works, Steve is in every meateater episode, but not every video uploaded to this channel is a meateater episode

[@13WVU]

This is the new season of meat eater he will be in every episode

[@13WVU]

@@anactivemarketcrash742 he is not wrong

[@MsToxin]

I learn so much from these folk but yea Steve is the goat

[@Billy-rq9hs]

JFC. Meateater fans are the worst

[@shadetreehomestead4276]

The trash talking.... priceless. STEVE : "Clay, what are you doing"

[@danielkerkhoff9452]

"You're slacklining!" 😅

[@chandlercampbell9146]

That had me cracking up. Carried the same tone as my dad getting frustrated with me 😂

[@pitmasterchiz4203]

The chemistry between Mudd and Cleave is heart warming 🥰

[@BOBofGH]

I live abroad now and haven’t been able to go home for buck camp in the north woods for like 5 years now. Watching new meat eater shows keeps me centered. It’s like a little slice of those experiences you get in the woods.

[@C-24-Brandan]

Let's Go!! Best hunting and outdoors show hands down!

[@tvivtv8139]

Coolest black bear hunt I’ve ever seen! Great episode!

[@KA-om9oz]

You need to watch more hunts.

[@debuthunter5389]

This was a VERY good one. But maybe my favourite was when he took a Navy Seal out black bear hunting a few seasons back. That was EPIC.

[@jannielsen9893]

"Sounds like a GWAR concert" I LOVE IT ❤

[@FVPS904]

Straight to KZbin this year is way better than that website mess last year

[@xMikeDx]

I know I'm late to the show, but this has become a go-to not just for the incredible storytelling but all the neuanced lessons learned as a consumer.

[@treypeters1087]

Lol a consumer get outside

[@themilepodcast1132]

I’m so pumped this was the first episode, I’ve been looking forward to seeing this since clay gave the after action report on bear grease

[@mattyallwood]

Absolutely loved the banter in this episode. It felt like a weekend adventuring with your best mates

[@BartekBucher]

“You put an unbelievable amount of salt on it” lol Such a great episode. Love MeatEater

[@christopheroleary2512]

As an amateur/beginner hunter with chronic physical limitations that often keep me on the sidelines, I live vicariously through this show and watch them over and over. Thank you to the MeatEater crew for all of your efforts, hunts, educational content, and conservation activities! A dream of mine is to join in on some of the experiences. Would love to see much more in the Southeast states. Particularly in Florida! :)

[@christopheroleary2512]

Oh... and please feel free to release a ton more content too. I am positive that everyone else would agree!

[@selenicmooncry]

damn bro I hope your condition doesn't hinder you too much, if you are in edmonton canada I would take you hunting for sure, one thing i can guarantee is we will prob come back empty handed lol.

[@ZachDidDat]

I love the hunting in the show but I think the part that sells it for me is how relatable of a guy Steve is. He just seems like a guy I could sit down and have a deer steak and a glass of whiskey with. Loving this season also!

[@alecridderbos6208]

Such a relaxing and enjoyable hunting channel, I feel like I’m involved in every conversation.

[@RyanPerkins-lm7cb]

I Absolutely Love when you cook what you kill at the end of the episode! I wish I could visit Alaska one day!

[@techbuster9652]

Gwar call out. Love it.

[@JamesBaylockJr]

Anytime you have the Steve and Clay connection, you're in for a good show..

[@jsprung8548]

Stalking a bear from underwater to shoot them with a bow is next level

[@williamcarlosdeandradesilv2385]

Bom dia só William Carlos queria ir uma casada deça um sonho

[@williamcarlosdeandradesilv2385]

😮

[@bduval9253]

I've been itching to see this for weeks after hearing you folks talking about the "wetsuit hunt" on the podcast (although as a guy who spends a lot of time in wetsuits, it is the "boogie board hunt" to me. Kudos to Arkansas ingenuity in an unfamiliar land. Even after the build-up, this episode did not disappoint. Kudos.

[@jamesburrell677]

Always feel surprised when these episodes end. Just get immersed and feel like they will keep going.

[@AJHurley]

There’s nothing better in terms of content than the Alaska stuff, man. Keep it comin’

[@stephanaeon]

"they look bigger when you look through the binoculars" Hahahahaha

[@fisheatrepeat]

“That’s a wetsuit beer if ever I saw one” every time Steve sees a beer 😅😅😅 reminds me of fishing “yep that’s a keeper” to every fish hahaha Pepper that you can use as a windicator 😂😂 32:08

[@FlankerAvila]

I bought steves cook book. Went on my first hunt last year and got a doe. Thank you Steve for inspiring me to go out into nature, harvest my own meat and work with conservation.

[@clifsant9266]

On a fabulous rainy day in Utah seems like a excellent time to watch a episode in southeast rainy Alaska. Man, I wanna go get a bear in Alaska. The bow float was exactly what i was picturing in my head months ago when they talked about it on the podcast.

[@Patrician9000]

Steve knows who GWAR is LMFAO!

[@Bulldog458]

Love these shows! Clay and the bear episodes are my favorites. I also love the Alaska episodes. Seems so much like being invited into a family hunting camp. They always make you feel welcome and show some of the best their land has to offer! Love it guys. Keep it up!

[@rbnh9827]

I think this one of his best eps. Instant classic. Also big credits to the production and the men behind the camera.

[@joshuapatrick682]

I wanna see Steve Rinella at a GWAR concert!!!

[@WoodsNorth]

Sheesh, this was a good episode. Great work as always! 🔥

[@reservordog]

I winced as he salted the shoulder and died laughing when they said how salty it was 😂

[@bryanpaynechefbrybry1067]

If this is episode 1, Holley fk I can not wait for the rest of the episodes. Steve you are by far one of the most entertaining gentleman I have had the pleasure of watching.. not never fail in putting a smile on my face.. Well done to Rendell, and a even bigger well done to Clay.. Clay you come a close second to Steve in the entertainment.. Cheers gentleman.. Itching for the second installment already...🦌🐐🦆🐗✌

[@CrickNinja]

I like black pepper that you can use as a windicator 😂 One of the best things I’ve ever heard Clay say

[@coachdewalls9355]

I'm a fan of pretty much everything Meat Eater puts out, but this was one of the more entertaining episodes in memory. Good friends hanging out in an incredible place, doing pretty wild stuff...hard to beat.

[@Vicariously_gifted]

This is classic steve genuine, informative and caring. This is the type of video that got me into hunting. Thanks steve!

[@zachmorello6592]

I love this show. It’s unexplainable because I live in N.C. so all this is so far away from anything I could do. But, the way Steve goes about things somehow brings peace to me.

[@steve45]

There's something incredibly comforting about a Meateater episode. It just seems to strip back the layers of bullshit in life and present the simple raw necessities.

[@hunterkuchek8139]

At 20:03 I swear that bear moves while it’s on the ground 😂

[@brett9382]

He totally does. Surprised no one else is talking about it. Notice have right when it moves the shot changes. Probably wanted to hid the fact that no one checked to see if it was actually dead before standing and talking next to it. 😂

[@johnnyh537]

America has some of the worlds best locations. Absolutely beautiful landscape

[@MetalBuddhaHead]

Yes yes yes ....thank you thank you thank you!!!!

[@peterjames314]

Love how they put these on KZbin now for free vs any other platform. Thank you

[@Bryanmichalak67]

Loved the Jimmy Carter sub hat. Worked on that boat. Feels good to see a hat like that on your shows my friend!

[@mattss7886]

Steve commenting on dudes jigging: "Yeah that's kinda a unique fishing style"😂

[@rwmack3523]

This whole tone, visually and audibly, was a very different side of Steve. I usually see him as the jovial, almost jock, of the group. Boisterous, laughing hard and taking charge. Prominent. But at the end, when he's just sitting on the deck with his buddies, he seemed...older. Tired, almost. Like he's finally caught on camera truly resting. No persona for a camera. No showboating. No pretense. I like that Steve. It's more genuine than I think I've ever seen him and it wasn't until I saw him with Clay just now that I realize there's been more genuine Steve Rinella on camera than ever before. Part of that might be the contrast with Clay though. I mean, he's basically a tall moustached kid in the best way and everyone seems older and wiser when a goof like Clay comes to brighten everyone's day. This was a special episode. It's just feels different and homely and comfortable. It's the kind of vibe I almost feel nostalgia about for a part of my life I haven't even had yet, but aspire to as a goal.

[@vincentabney9208]

No matter how many South East Alaska videos I see, I’ll never stop being so excited and surprised by the fact that his house is in the same cove at Sportsman’s Cove lodge where I worked. Love it up there!

[@ryandanford5289]

"Sounds like a GWAR concert"....hell yeah

[@Saltdiver98335]

That jigging lesson! Like Deja vu… fishing sea cucumber in se in the winter, I’ve been that guy laughing at my buddies losing fish and snagging bottom, using that same ‘unique’ jig stroke. Love it!

[@JL-xn3zy]

Clay is the best addition to Meateater! Awesome Dude.

[@evandegray6688]

That scene when he’s skinning the bear with the deer feeding in the background was killer. I’d die for a piece of property like that

[@BlackDuk]

"yeah it looked like you were fightin him weird though" 😂😂

[@cale115]

I don’t hunt or fish much if at all anymore, still love this show and Steve’s personality is one of a kind.

[@eltonalbert5714]

One of the better meat eater episodes . Those scallops made my mouth water

[@CallumsLyf]

Well done on the hunt Clay. This was an amazing episode that I've been waiting for ever since the story on the Meateater Podcast. Whenever I look at my Rob Allen Rock Camo Wetsuit I'll forever remember this episode of Meateater. Great job to everyone on the Meateater Crew/Team.

[@EMPcharged]

Sea lions sound like a GWAR concert😂😂😂

[@robjenno21]

That shot at point blank tho. Happy huntin legands

[@daltondees2209]

"Sounds like a gwar concert" well damn alright didn't know that about you Steve haha

[@johnknouse8846]

I’ve dreamt of Alaska since I was a kid. Hopefully I’ll live to see retirement, then I’ll be out of excuses of why I’ve never been! My daughter is actually there now, on her honeymoon!

[@WEMS20]

Clay is out there like he's jiggin for crappies, lol. I can relate.

[@lesflynn4455]

You guys in North America have an amazing array of wildlife, and I just love the way you will eat just about everything off an animal that you have hunted. I'm from that silly country down under, still live there. I just discovered your channel. I've heard of Steve on JRE Podcast. Meat Eater is a great watch. Thanks for posting it on KZbin.

[@isaiahtolo9819]

you have got to be kidding me! That was incredible! Steve and Clay are different people for sure but their dynamic on hunts has always been one of my favorite parts of the show.

[@isaiahtolo9819]

"I like black pepper you can use as a windicator" - great quote lol

[@andrewduran8365]

Give me a job please Steven 😂😂😂 you guys fishing 😂 way to hang with your palls! So cool to see your your relationship with your friends. Very lucky man Steven!

[@Thenarrowpathoutdoorsmen]

If anybody is wondering why Clay’s coat has dark bands under the arms it is because it is a duck hunting coat. Those bands help a dog see hand signals easier. Pretty cool. Awesome episode boys!

[@TaylorJtcounty]

😂😂😂😂😂😂 them sea lions sound like a GWAR CONCERT!!!!!!! Who knew the man was into heavy metal!!!

[@swpost3]

Steve whisper yelling “he’s in your face. Stand up”. Lol

[@wesleygiddings893]

Southeast Alaska makes for my favorite films. Thanks.

[@larrymyers6327]

Steve you make me miss hunting in Alaska. Best place in the world to hunt and fish.

[@chrisdrader4228]

I never would have thought Steve knew what a Gwar concert sounds like

[@rabbithomesteading3797]

I love listening to Clay on bear grease!

[@b_bogg]

Shoutout to Steve for knowing Gwar!

[@matthewdutkovich6111]

So pumped for the new season to pair with the podcast every Monday morning! See you all at the Pittsburgh show.

[@adamlincoln6579]

Is it just me or is Steve starting to become an old man! Love how much these guys and the crew have grown and the community they have become!

[@jademayer4995]

There's nothing like harvesting from the land and sea and cooking it right up, best feeling and fresh as you can get! You know every step that fish and game has been through start to finish, nothing more satisfying! I miss being able to do that terribly, moved from the northwest to TN, it's just not the same, not as accessible, especially the hunting, if you own property the whitetail hunting can be pretty good, but if you don't it's really hard to get access. I think I was just spoiled growing up in northern Idaho and all that vast public land and wilderness. Miss it every day. Great episode, love these!

[@y3wtub3]

I absolutely love the Alaska episodes. That cabin and location you guys have there looks amazing.

[@tj-kv6vr]

Steves videos are GREAT. His comrades are always fun, very respectful of the game they take and informative as well.

[@mrsockeye]

I have been eagerly anticipating this one since listening to the podcast.

[@zPersius]

The GWAR concert comment made me happy! Awesome episode!

[@rediron44]

My favorite episodes at Steve episodes. Thrilled a new season is here...

[@micahgrim2597]

Hi Steve! I’m stoked for this one! Always love listening to you speak

[@KaydenPassi]

Elk and a black bear, great start to the season 🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@jackiekinner3826]

New nickname for Clay. ‘The Arkansas Ninja’. Great hunt.

[@zjp692004]

It would be cool hanging out with Steve and his friends.

[@markperkinsband]

I love the original Meat Eater episodes, especially the ones in SE AK. Nice episode gentleman. Much appreciated.

[@christinaw2736]

Man, poor Clay! Steve was razzing him half of the episode XD

[@colinroberts47]

Clay and Steve always have the best hunts.

[@user-er8kz2jg6o]

Clay is my favorite member of the MeatEater crew.

[@gwhunt1023]

It’s like - how can they keep getting better? I smile through all of it like a kid in a candy store wanting to do and taste it all, too!

[@michaetsully87]

I think this was my favorite episode to date! So good a tree hugging hippie lib would probably enjoy it...

[@tesau315]

Steve knows who GWAR is?!?!

[@Stonewallx39]

I was so excited to see this come out. Thanks Steve and the gang!

[@abrowncitizen]
