5 Day Solo Primitive Survival Challenge 🏝
Taking only my clothing, filming gear, eyeglasses & toothbrush I am once again testing my survival skills enduring 5 days alone on a small island in Tasman New Zealand. My first challenge will be to find fresh water. It is the middle of winter so there will be very little food growing therefore I will have to somehow catch fish, and forage for anything growing on the island.
Clay Tall Stories videos are self-filmed in New Zealand mostly in the South Island
All music in this video is made at the old farmhouse studio by Clay Tall Stories.

Wilson, the ultimate camping companion! He's got the skills to steal your fish and protect your food, all while staying out of the meal menu. Who needs merch when you've got a legendary buddy like him by your side?
Indeed , The resourcefulness is Thoroughly encouraging for certain
This is what I have been looking for! Real life survival. Instead of guys doing their survival stories the easy way!!! You’re fantastic!!! Nothing fancy, and everything earned!!! Thank you!
The accent though 😲
@@Garbagihe’s from New Zealand, what would you expect haha
I mean... Fire proof Jacket...
@@Garbagiare you scared? Need a hug?
U forgot about the Wilson He also helped ❤😂
A wild bird just hanging out and making itself at home totally unafraid of you. Fascinating and very funny.
that is why the Kiwi's are extinct btw. they were too friendly and unafraid of Humans, which thought they tasted good and ate them all.. )=
@@darkpatron9011 Kiwi aren't extinct. I assume you're talking about the Dodo, though by all accounts they tasted terrible.
Still excessive hunting msde them go extinct. @@BionicMonkeys
@@BionicMonkeyshey even gross things can be made good with seasonings and an empty stomach
Man goes out for an exercise. Makes shelter, fire, tools, water facility, food processing station, domesticates fowl, brings smoked fish home for family and friends. All without a match or pocketknife. Toothbrush and glasses and an amazing disposition. Legend.
Good on ya mate !
Maaaan,this guy is just legit. Never have i watched a man eat a fish and had a huge smile on my face. He REALLY enjoyed that flounder lol. And the fact he befriended a bird and fed him too and the bird hung around his camp is just brilliant.
Right fking Awesome 😂
Ive fallen asleep to the sound of your voice and the beauty of your adventured for the past 6 nights, will definitely be continuing to watch daily!
Thanks for joining me on another multi-overnight bushcraft exercise. I hope this gives you some ideas that could save your life in a true survival situation.

Why you don't start the fire at the place where it actually will burn? I mean, I get that you need a certain light angle for ignition, ok. But you take the glimmer anyway and could place it right at the place where the fire ends up, no?
@michaspringphul no sun light there to create the fire at that time of day.
Got excited seeing you posted keep it up plz
@@ClayTallStories i see. and it was too far away for bringing the glimmer right to tha desiguished fireplace? Anyway. Good video. This reminded me, when we as kids burned ants with optical lenses ;-)
your a legend bro!!!
I've watched this twice now, my friend. Great vid, thank you for all your efforts and for sharing your knowledge.
Very welcome
Epic film mate, thanks for taking us along
Cheers mate. Hope the family are all well and life is treating you kind.
Bloody awesome mate,start to finish top drawer,skills,knowledge,practicality and personality, brilliant
Thanks mate
going through all of this guys videos after finding him is just epic.
Welcome to the channel mate.
Willson running off with the meat bigger then him was funny as, he hurried up with the theft as you shouted him 😂
I respect the fact that Wilson didn't become a meal himself 😂
Lol I was thinking the same before he said he was so close to his home. I figured Wilson was a friend at that point lol
@@jaytee5913 35:42 (would have been the last straw for me) 😂😂
You are skilled, unlike anyone I have seen here on KZhead. Wilson stealing fish is hilarious at 35:43. Awesome content.
Finally some REAL survival! Respect! ❤
Nice one mate
Ray is one of the most delicious fish I ever tasted. Make a local coconut curry with tons of chilies.. Heaven!
For all that you have been through, mate you are a fit healthy bastard out there doing it! Just an awesome inspiration for all. Thanks for sharing yet another banger. Great info tips n tricks. N thats 1 lucky Wilson..
Cancer & heart disease had a good crack at me but I won those two battles. Thanks mate.
Clay has to be one of the top survivalists on KZhead / tv by a long shot
Love your videos! defo survival 101 Stingrays and flounders are delicious. I cook them with coconut milk and curry with chillies
Unreal brother you take it to the nxt level no knife 🔪 haven’t seen a survival video like yours nice work great knowledge!!!!
Keep making more stuff like this especially primitive fishing techniques
More to come!
This makes me really appreciate my clean water, food, and comfortable home. You did an outstanding job demonstrating these skills!
The look of pure joy on your face when you took that first bite of flounder. Priceless.😄
I've been camping, both standard and shelter build most of my life. I'm also subscribed to many outdoor channels. Having said that, I've witnessed things in this video that I've never seen before, and it is really exciting to learn something new. I think I'll have to subscribe and happily so.
This is perfect. I’m 16 and since I was 12 I’ve been so into survival for any situation. This is exactly what I’ve been looking for. So calm and I really learn a thing or two. 😄
Old clay is finally back!
You will enjoy this one mate. Tight lines
Absolutely epic. Has fired me up 🤣🤣 Leaving tomorrow morning for my 3 day survival mission. Wish me luck mate🤙🤙
Good luck mate. Look after yourself
It's been 5 months. RIP Chrispy
@@Graceclaw I survived,,,,,just😜😜
@@Graceclaw😂
- "Don't get too close to that fire otherwise you'll be roast Wilson!" 😂😂😂 I am dead ☠️😂😂
Nice grandfather keep going on 😊😊😊❤❤❤
Thoroughly enjoyed this.
Respect to you… you’ve got some balls to do this 👍👍👍
I think we need a month from you now clay. You’re awesome. If you need a cameraman who won’t be anything extra let me know!
That Wilson is some character! xD Amazing video, as always, Clay!
This is what I’ve also been looking for! A bare bones survival. Please do more!
This video should be watched as a lesson. You make educational and beautiful content. Good luck 😊
Boy, I sure like this fella! It would be so cool to go out camping with him in New Zealand!! I'd have to ask the wife although😊
You are my new FAVORITE "youtuber dude"!!!
I actually learnt something from you today. Especially about flaming the fire part with your fingers, that’s brilliant. I like these vids, very educational. Keep it up, Koro 😉
Absolute Legend 🙌🏼
Can't wait my good man❤👍
Excited to know more of your journey again mate.
Strange comment
Great video! You tried with basically nothing, imagine if you had a knife and maybe a few other pieces of gear! Great job Clay! God bless!🙏
Steve was a true legend. Forever in our hearts ❤
Man, i don't know what it is but although i'm living in Ankara a big capital with 6+million people and in a concrete forrest. You made me appreciate life more and find joy from small things. It really is soothing watching your videos. Thank you for all.
Absolutely awesome stuff bro. Thanks Clay. 💪
Appreciate it!
@@ClayTallStories keep up the good work bro. Absolutely love it. 💯
Looks like Wilson was doing some ramraids on your food there 😂... Seriously though, these survival videos are an absolute treat to watch as I'm sitting here by the fireplace with my feet up. Keep them coming!
I like Wilson, he's a nice and funny pet to have. 😄
Good trip !! Thanks for all of this techniques
I am very impressed. No bs, just information, authentic content and wonderful pictures. Thanks man. You inspire me
I appreciate that!
THANK YOU SIR FOR SHARING YOUR WISDOM!!!!! LOVE AND PRAYERS!!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊
Clay, looks fun! If you get attacked by a Bigfoot your best defense is pull out your camera, they hate to be filmed and run away
This guy going to 1 million subscribers by the end of the year.
I got the notification button pressed. I'm looking forward to watching, bro. Awesome!
Respect. You definitely don't make it easy on yourself. I don't think anyone would begrudge you a pocket knife, which would be a game changer for you. I've done some long minimal-kit trips before and the work never stops. I couldn't help but smile watching you chew down on that flounder - hunger definitely is the best sauce. My daughter and I thoroughly enjoy your channel - thanks for taking us along for the adventure 👍
Respect is earned not just given
I'm glad you're just not a random guy trying to survive and you actually know what you doing. Great video by the way
As a recovering alcoholic, your videos give me so hope that I can be so much more than from whence I came. I truly do appreciate you as a human being for being true to whom you are. Much love my brother
Best wishes for your future! Hang in there!!! You can control your destiny!!
He got some drinking food
Thank you for sharing , it’s in your hands , carry on
Best wishes mate, keep at it
Soon you will forget what it even feels like to be drunk, you will recover faster than you think
“ this one’s for Steve Irwin… RAAAAA” 😂
damm this is literally my dream, i played this game called stranded deep on my ps4 where you a stranded on a tropical island and have to build shelter, and spear fish and sharks, and build a raft out of sticks and travel to different islands, and i love the idea of it all and you are literally doing that in new zealand which is where i live and i think that these videos are the best and most inspiring videos ive ever watched on youtube. thank you for making this. i love the part where you were spearing the eagleray that was so cool, and i loved seeing it being hanged up like that.
incredible. I loved all the techniques shown and even more I loved seeing wilson getting that close to you and even bringing his wife! He should be glad he wasn't on the menu for you this time!
Great vlog mate you did very well 🎉
Learning more everyday..Loving it😎🤟🤟
Cheers bro for the video I’ll watch this with my nephews at dinner time for 2 nights 👍👍
Nice
Thanks KZhead for recommending me this awesome video ! I love your editing : no bullshit, no useless bit, you're straight to the point and only show what's important ! It really feels immersive and grounded. Now I'm goind to bingewatch your channel ! New Zealand is a beautiful country, I hope I'll be able to visit one day. Much love from France !
Welcome to the channel
Love this mate, awesome video
I remember making spears and fishing for flounder on Great barrier Island with my mates when I was in my early 20s. We didn't get back to camp till it was about 11pm. We were cold and hungry, and just couldnt wait till the morning for a cook up. So I totally get the way your savoured that fish. They are oily, buttery and delicious. We are lucky in Aotearoa.
Golden memories brother
I was anxiously waiting for you to drop another video mate. Thanks a lot bruh. I really enjoy em'.
Always a pleasure watching you doing this mate. You look well and loving life. Keep going. 💪👌
holy shit great adventure man. you're a trove of wisdom and creativity
I loved seeing your smile of satisfaction when you caught two flounders! That’s what we’re here for! Keep up the good work🙌
Please do more youre a legend
Hey clay, I think you are missing a trick here! I’m in the uk and would PAY to come over and experience/ learn/ generally get back to nature! You are an inspiration bud, I know it wouldn’t be a party/ glamming but that is what makes it so interesting and challenging….life skills, humbling! Good job!
I give my Patrons on Patreon first hand lessons on bushcraft and hunting. You are right, though. It is downright uncomfortable and means living hard to do these challenges. The camera and editing cut out many of the logistical nightmares and the heath and safety issues that you invariably encounter.
Awesome holiday bro, thanks for letting us tag along👍👍👍
Awesome adventure ! Thanks for sharing.
Such an awesome episode Clay lots to learn here cheers mate
Cheers mate
A lot of really helpful tips throughout, even for the seasoned campers.
Man just found this channel, idk but this kind of your videos calms my soul
Ur so creative, truly therapeutic!
This is a wonderful heartwarming comment. Thank you.
that was a great watch Clay , showing us impressive survival skills. I know its taken many years to learn these skills , thats why Education NZ needs you to be an a tutor for the "lost generation" , Im sure you would have sold out courses. You're the man for the job. thanks for sharing.
Dude. Solid solid solid channel. I love the content please continue to film more adventures 🙏🏼
Superstitious graffiti nonsense comment and disrespectful towards nature
I don't think I've ever heard this many consecutive good tips ever... you my good sir are a legend
Thumbs up ! Clay Top video again . All the best Fae Scotland
What a great video Clay really well put together I spent February in NZ fishing and hunting with my pal loved it truly a special place I agree your videos outshine the other ones I love the fact you explain and teach .watching from Scotland
MORE OF THESE CLAY ! Love them!
Bloody good to see you back and another good video
I love these videos Clay. Very real aspect to it and there isn't any fluff. My kinda video 👍
Brilliant! I’ll be showing my grandsons this. Some great survival tips. You’re an inspiration Clay.
You sound like an epic Grandfather. Cheers mate
I love you mate
Great video full of great information! Thank you for sharing my brother! Love, Health and positive energy to you and your Family! Stay safe and keep having fun!
I salute you in honor of Steve Irwin. That stingray has now paid reparations. Balance is restored.
Hopefully you made it through your winter ❄️ safely
Loved it Clay, as always informative.👍
Mate, don't know how I stumbled across this video but it was thoroughly enjoyed. Dont get to see many of these survival vids from the homeland, Thanks for putting this together.
This is all I wanted from a survival channel. Subbed instantly
Welcome aboard mate
I love the honesty of your videos and you're a master of your skill
Easy loving giver
Mate that was brilliant so happy it got suggested you legend
Your wisdom and strategies for survival are priceless. This I feel encompasses what your channel is all about. Keep up this kind of content please. From a West Auckland based Angler. Tight lines or in this case, sharp sticks. Lol
Legend mate love your vids super knowledgeable 👍
You take resourcefulness to a new level!
i like how you did this in winter too, to show it can be done, and that its not only duable in the nicest part of the year, i feel like it is a lot more realistic in winter, and i havent seen anyone do anything like this especially in winter, the only videos similer to this are on tropical islands where the weather is too hot.
Your primitive survival videos are so good, please do more
