I’m not kidding this video got me out of the dumps I’ve been needlessly sad for days. I’m 17 right now I reckon this is the life I’ll try to build for myself. Thanks a lot for the video Clay

[@thomaslambert3161]

Hey mate. Stick by this bloke and you wont go far wrong bro.

[@smokeandkippers]

You’re a good man. Heart of gold ❤❤

[@nathandavison286]

Just came across this channel last night and I love it what a lovely man

[@ClayTallStories]

Welcome aboard!

[@lynnbishop9493]

I cut a 200L blue drum in half longways, so I ended up with half round. It's a great duck pond. When you need to change the water, just roll the drum and it empties. Also the water in the duckpond when they poo in water, is great once diluted to water the dirt around the veges.

[@ClayTallStories]

Great info there Lynny 👍

[@Me-pt2hx]

Very enjoyable thankyou

[@jackmehoff1840]

Bruno is a legend

[@lb.9095]

Those flavor combos with the steak, blue cheese, 🌱, onion with and hm kraut👌🏼, gonna try it out no doubt 🤘🏼

[@darylgilmore613]

I live to hide for the world and enjoy my solitude nothing like it absolutely love it

[@ClayTallStories]

I get that.

[@andyabraham7269]

My partner is Japanese Clay. Having watched your lockdown videos, being a 'Good Bastard' till the money ran out and you finding your neighbours love. If wishes can come true I reckon you are in the middle of yours. Happy days for you both, your kids and everybody that believes in a old crooner like you. All the best mate x Arb, from an ancient Chippy to yourself being a modern man your work is a joy to watch....Stay safe and happy days xxx

[@ClayTallStories]

Thank you brother 🙏

[@rbuenafe100]

Clay, watching your videos helps me with my anxieties. Living in the concrete jungle of NYC and not to be able to travel anywhere because of the pandemic makes life really stressful. I feel like a prisoner in my own house. Watching your videos makes me think of the Philippines where I'm from. Sometimes I feel like just packing up and going back home and live the life like you do. But, having a family that are rooted here in the states is hard to convince to move to Philippines. Maybe, someday. Thanks for the wonderful videos.

[@ClayTallStories]

Thanks for sharing your life situation. 🙏

[@adrianden-otter]

Mate that was a hum dinger of a video thoroughly enjoyed watching, cheers mate keep it up.

[@denaredford6701]

Nice video , I ❤it . Thank you

[@Daniel-fo2qf]

Good to see Arb back on the job. Always learn something with him in the videos. Jona is making the place look great with his hard work

[@jared7295]

Wicked vid bro. Enjoy these ones with a bit of everything. Just good ol healthy entertainment, real life shit, real living, almost up there with Country Calendar 😜

What a great video your son did a amazing job on the gardens. Your house is looking bloody amazing too.Cheers mate.

[@mathewmetcalfe9504]

Another great video clay much admiration for the creating you do really like when you throw in the Maori sayings for us to learn and us in Australia love all your adventures big or small

[@roseheihei7958]

Ideal life style handy Jack of all trades. Awesome sense of humor, very informative vids. Luv this

[@lukepaul2882]

Up here the darker snapper are usually reefys, snapper that hang out around the reefs. And the lighter colour ones are usually schoolies. But there’s always exceptions to that. Sometimes if they are feeding over sand they are lighter in colour or if they feed over mud or reefs they are darker. Good to see another hour long video again. I was starting to miss those! Take it easy bro.

[@ClayTallStories]

Good info there Luke

[@tempestbutler3194]

Your farm house coming along good clay. Your sons awsome gardener. Always enjoy watching these vids. Awsome.

That old swing frame might just solve your animal hanging problem Clay I’ve got one I use with a pulley at the top and an old boat winch welded to the side bar and can haul up some massive reds off the ground with ease...the farm house is looking a million bucks

[@gipsi2001]

Love the video. Epic. And your house is becoming a true gem. Thanks for sharing your days with us. x

[@ClayTallStories]

Thanks Gipsi

[@maxinesmyth3183]

Hey Clay Thanks for a really great all round up date great seeing the human and animal gangs in yer life all doing well. Thanks for the long update much appreciated in these times. Winter here with lockdown don’t come much harder but, looking forward to being able to go places. Take care

[@stanleyshelby7460]

Well, that bloody well explains why all we saw were some fishing videos for a couple of weeks. The old homestead is shaping up nicely with your son putting in many hours of back tiring work to get the foliage trimmed back and all the new veggie gardens in. Welcome back Arb...we have missed you Mate. 👏

[@carlchester1092]

Man! I haven't seen your videos for quite a while, and I needed that. Such a wholesome video. That garden job was top notch by the way, from cultivating, planting, and even putting up the fence and looking for the things to make the fence was well done! Your videos gave me a great sense of nostalgia since I grew up in a rural setting but now moved to a new country(urban) and just seeing this video shows how much joy one can feel about doing a job with your hands and seeing the results, also true with the builder in your video. Anyway, I've been a long time subscriber of your channel, but haven't seen the videos you've done lately. I use to watch your videos every upload but stopped right around the time you were moving out of this farm, and I'm glad to see that you are back. I have some catching up to do, but I know it would be a good watch. Nice to see that everything worked out as it did mate! Thank you for these videos!

[@ClayTallStories]

Thanks mate

[@MOOSEDOWNUNDER]

Its all coming together Clay. Well deserved bruz.

[@ClayTallStories]

Thanks Moose.

Haha, Biggsy thinking, "thanks for the buffet boss"!

[@cainburt4978]

The farm house is looking awesome mate . Was thinking today i missed seeing your videos and boom one pops up 🤙

[@jonkwin9620]

Use the old swing to hang your meat carcasses, put in the shade somewhere easy to back up to. Maybe even put a couple of pulleys on it, could even put some fly screen panels on it too !

[@ClayTallStories]

Insightful

[@AlexanderAyling]

You’ve got a great set up down there, congrats! I’d love to swing by next time I’m down on the South Island and play some music with you. 🤙🏼

[@ClayTallStories]

Do it mate. What do ya play?

Great vid young fullas gettin heaps done" cheers

[@darfdwarf8584]

For cutting a little out of the timber try using the chop saw should be something on it to lock it to a certain depth or just put another timber behind it to just notch the one you want. Keep up the great videos 👍

[@Matipolandscaping]

Awesome video once again 🙌💯 Topman

[@karlmcintyre214]

I like these vids Clay. We recently got a rural place on the Kaipara and your vids inspire ideas. wicked fishing up here too.

[@ClayTallStories]

Good luck with your place mate

[@raywirihana]

fucking a! i don't believe in taking something for nothing either. liking that opening song too. 40 sec into the video already slapping that like button.

[@rodashford1151]

Awesome video Clay, house is definitely looking way better, a thought for your swing you have there is why not turn it into a pig/deer rack for skinning/cutting up, do a concrete slab and put swing on it while its wet and if you smash the old concrete off the legs you can push it into the wet concrete, just cut the swing part out of it leaving the cross bar

[@ClayTallStories]

That's not a bad idea mate

[@hynot9175]

Missed your content Clay, got 18min in & thought fuck it's over an hours worth, lol.

We use an old swing set minus the swings for hanging the pig's n sheep for skinning and dressing out..

I use to use it for that....might have to re install it with some shade to hang meat and animals for butchering

[@villain1409]

I know this & have done it,so i do not know if you know it,so i thought i would share it. Are strawberry leaves healthy? Just throw the whole strawberry in the smoothie and you've got some extra vitamins. The leaves contain tannins, which is an organic substance that binds to other foods and help with digestion, according to Livestrong. Simply adding them to your favorite smoothie recipe could relieve some lurking digestive issues. For example, vitamin C (an antioxidant), calcium (can help with bone health), and iron (can improve red blood cells) can be found in the leaves. Strawberry leaves contain tannins that have low pH levels and serve as a strong digestive. Simply said, this compound can help with an upset stomach, cramps, or bloating.

[@ClayTallStories]

Interesting

Hello

[@craigperry7376]

Not sure why others have an opinion of how you prepare, Cook & eat your meals, as it will only effect you. Tell me who camp cooks in a kitchen situation, when cooking outdoors as you do Clay. I’m guessing that when your new kitchen is operating, you’ll still enjoy a backyard cook up. PS Check out Boaring Australia U tube vids. Off Grid series EP 6 is the latest. A totally interesting look at Nth Territory pig hunting by a couple from Nth Qld. 🍻

[@ClayTallStories]

Our new kitchen is still just plans on paper mate. It all cost heaps and we will not have the new kitchen up and running for a long time and that is perfectly fine

[@meditationbreath]

clay i love these vids mate and arb is one sexy dude! my only recommendation is when im sitting here watching these from across the room and an a power tools goes off the volume scares the whole room cause its sooo loud maybe consider turning down the volume on the power tools part...just saying mate keep being you!

Good feedback. Will do.

Re: food poisoning. Circa 36:45 - you also got very ill from eating berries.

[@ClayTallStories]

Good point...The berries made me sick because I had been fasting for 48 hours and I broke my fast on them stripping my gut lining. It was pain full but quite different to food poisoning

[@DivergingUnity]

You got livestock, you get deadstock. Lol its true though

[@umvhu]

That beef is making me salivate, talk about living off the fat of the land. If you can hang beef for 28 days just above freezing temperature enzymes in the meat break down the sinew and improve the flavour.

[@ClayTallStories]

Now there is some sound advice for all meat eaters! We actually did just that mate and the last of it was delicious

[@the-naked-sailor]

Clay, I've watched about 40 of your videos without subscribing, liking or sharing. My question is this: why didn't you eat your dog? Before anyone overreacts, you don't have a problem killing animals or eating animals you haven't killed. Why are dogs an exception? Pigs make good pets too, and rabbits, and loving chickens, fish, birds....

[@ClayTallStories]

In a real survival situation, I would. It's not part of my culture to eat dog.

[@the-naked-sailor]

@@ClayTallStories so it's a cultural thing and not a moral one. I like most of your vids btw, you seem like a pretty cool human.

[@wendyrowland7787]

Why would you make the chickens live in a small mucky pen with the ducks. They left a good life where they were. Free range is ranging on herbage. If you have a drake their life will be a misery.

[@huntfish9350]

Not your problemo

[@meditationbreath]

THANKS AGAIN cLAY for nice VDO I must say cats kill NZ wildlife indiscriminately Im I the only one that thinks they need to be regulated? they are feed kibbel etc but still just kill cause its fun for them.... whats your views on this and how to stop it? honesty if I saw a cat stalking NZ wildlife/eating/attacking on my property it would be the last thing it did

[@ClayTallStories]

I think most people know my spin on feral cats mate. In a life time they can destroy 5000 native birds, frogs, geckos,Weta...the only good they do is kill rats and mice but over all they need to be reduced in numbers
