In this episode of Backcountry College we'll take a look at survival gear and some of the things I always have in my pack to be prepared for whatever might come up in the backcountry.
Great video on a basic survival kit. I keep mine made up, but I also keep working on making it smaller, I don't forsee needing it, but I plan on needing it, that is what it is all about.
Great idea on the Fatwood handle for the Fero rod! I'll be making some handles for the bare rods I have laying around now. Great videos, a definite thumbs up.
Hello from Montreal, congratulations on a well-deserved victory! From the beginning of the show, I was completely confident in your professionalism. Well done!
Clay.. I just discovered your channel and I'm subbed! :-) I like your common sense approach in the way you do things. It's something that many are missing these days. I'll be checking out your other videos.. the outdoor footage is very similar to what I am accustomed to, as we are only a few hours apart. Thanks for the video.. Shad
Thanks for the video content! Sorry for butting in, I am interested in your thoughts. Have you ever tried - Lammywalness Your Dream Guide (google it)? It is an awesome exclusive product for discovering how to get a a FREE Edt multitool survival tool without the normal expense. Ive heard some pretty good things about it and my BF at last got astronomical results with it.
Hey everyone, for everyone liking Clay's stuff, give the man a thumbs up. It will help him greatly with gathering an audience and thus you are helping him to get more great content out. Love your stuff Clay keep up the great work and we'll share the word!
Nice man. I replaced my boot laces with bankline. If you ever come out to the owyhees, we'd have to shoot some desert vids! Lady and I spend a lot of time out there.
Clay, thanks for the videos. I like that you're stuff is more Rocky Mountain-focused; a lot of the bushcraft and backcountry-type channels on CZcams are all based back east. I'm in Utah and hunt elk in the High Uintas every year; i appreciate seeing videos with a focus on our region and i hope you keep it up...and i'd really like to see you take an elk with that long bow...
Clay, found your videos great info and simple to follow along. I don't sub to many people but had to with yours, we have alto of similar likes. Plan to hunt Idaho elk myself in 2018, keep the info flowing you do it very well.
Hello Clay from South Florida! I new you would come out the winner. Grads man! Just sweating it out down here and waiting for the Snook opener ob Sept 1st! Keep up the great work!
Thank you thank you thank you, for not wasting 30 minutes of my time telling me all about name brands and descpitions on crap ya dont need. they would be handy yes, but at what cost and weight???? Who really needs 3 knives, 3 flashlights, and don't forget 6 mountain house meals,etc..... I think a person who loses his gear, but has two backups is screwed before they leave the house. most people are too dependant on the gizmo's. knowledge and 10 items at most, is all a person needs. TP being one of the 10. hahaha. Great video, look forward to more!!
Fatwood handle. Duh. How'd I miss that. Old school map and compass guy here. Recently learned about processors for cell phones with GPS and satellite providers. Been shopping for PLB, two way comms as I'm over 65 now its getting tricky angling in backcountry last couple years. Never been lost. Turned around a few times. So what's a hard-core guy like you use for GPS? Use two way?
Very good video. You would make a fantastic instructor. I've watched several of your videos and am looking forward to seeing more. I Liv near Lewiston. Are you anywhere near there
Hi Clay, Is there a designation that distinguishes the "good" paracord from the bad? I have heard that MIL-C-5040H paracord is the real stuff that you recommend, but as you said it seems like everyone and their grandma is selling it and I want to make sure I am getting the right stuff. I am a big fan of your videos and book, by the way!
nscheibe1 Thanks, I believe that's the right stuff as indicated by the H on the end. But, it's been a while since I ordered any so I could be wrong. I order mine from 5col.com
A BOT is $99 plus. No thanks. Also, I'll never go anywhere cool or cold without a scarf of somekind (cashmere preferably). Incredibly useful, even as a hat, and many times you can go without a jacket just by having a scarf.
Thank God for you and your channel 🙏
One of the best survival kit´s video i´ve seen. Practical and real tips. Thank you for sharing!
You are definitely right on the mark on all your advice. Keep up the good work!
I think those trash bags are for commercial yard waste carts. They have them on Amazon. They are 90-100 gallon bags.
Great video on a basic survival kit. I keep mine made up, but I also keep working on making it smaller, I don't forsee needing it, but I plan on needing it, that is what it is all about.

***** Thanks, I killed a spike this past season but didn't get it on film. Maybe next year.
Thanks for the knowledge clay. Season 1 was great, but if this episode is the standard then this will be even better.

check out the Garmin InReach units. They're great.
@@clayhayeshunter yeah, the mini is my choice so far. Thanks !
Hey Clay, are you still in North Central Idaho? One of my favorite places to hunt. I’m an hour and a half south of Sun Valley.
Yep
Great video
Good gear video by the way what whistle is that
Very good video. You would make a fantastic instructor. I've watched several of your videos and am looking forward to seeing more. I Liv near Lewiston. Are you anywhere near there
I’m out of Kendrick
@@clayhayeshunter I live in kendrick towards Troy . I'd like to meat you sometime. If you'd like.
@@clayhayeshunter did you know a guy named Craig Hayes? I worked with him in the woods for a couple years.
im just starting out and need good advice one of the realest videos are here
Ricardo Torres Thanks man.

Do you is the stainless steel bot pot or the titanium one?
David Schirado
David Schirado The titanium one.
A firearm in daily used, is a
rotten thing. If using to defending,
are a ticket to a electic chair.
🤣
No blow up doll ???
A BOT is $99 plus. No thanks. Also, I'll never go anywhere cool or cold without a scarf of somekind (cashmere preferably). Incredibly useful, even as a hat, and many times you can go without a jacket just by having a scarf.
Great video but...no firearm ?
I was mostly focused on the stuff in the pack.
Understood. Don't mind me. I'm just an armchair quarterback. But I thought the tip about the mil-spec paracord was brilliant.@@clayhayeshunter
