Nature Powered Rotisserie! Bushcraft CATCH & COOK
Vložit
- čas přidán 20. 08. 2024
- On a recent camping trip into the wilderness I was lucky enough to shoot a grouse with my self bow. And since it's been a while since I did any catch and cook videos I thought I'd try a fun bushcraft cooking project. The nearby stream offered a perfect power source for a bushcraft rotisserie! I plucked the grouse and trussed it with a thin willow branch, built the rotisserie, and cooked the grouse over the fire until it was golden brown and dripping with fat! A little tough as wild birds tend to be but delicious!

Hey Clay. You know what blows me away most about your videos? They contain something of everything we humans do: science, engineering, art, mistake, adaptation, thoughtfulness, movement, stillness, connection, solitude, craftsmanship, practicality, precision, planning, successive approximation. You illustrate beautifully how the living world gives rise to these things in us, if we just listen and respond to that greater living consciousness... Our finest and most compassionate teacher. Thank you.
Thanks 😊
Saudações caçador aqui do Brasil 🇧🇷
Well said. One of the best comments I've seen on youtube.
@@Etred02 I appreciate that thanks. I meant every word- Clay's perseverance, respect and patience is so inspiring.
Thank you for eating grouse legs on film. So so many people breast them and throw the rest away, but I’ve roasted the legs a couple of times and they’re like little chicken wings, but better. Total shame to waste them. Though you do need a few birds to make a solid snack of them.
more catch n cooks please, love these types of videos from people. Well done 🙏🏼
Of course it was worth it. Sitting there watching your work knowing you could have just threw it on a stick. You know why you do it. What you showed was passion. Doing what we love and getting better at it through trial and error is what makes us unique. I’d say the real question is, “What’s your passion?” Clay you’re a legend. I can’t wait to see what you teach us next. Stay wild brother.
Beautiful! Well done. These silent ones often go viral and gather millions of views. This one is one of them imho. 😊 Thank you for sharing.
That's what life is all about! Eating what you hunt over a fire and a beer. Hope the grouse tasted good!
fantastic!
Outstanding video. No words, just your skills at work, including trial-and-error to get the wheel positioned just right.
That is the best Outdoor content on CZcams
Really digging your videos Clay. The editing, the knowledge, it's all entertaining. I appreciate your content. Well done brother
Much appreciated
I love bow-hunting Grouse. Excellent video!
Glad you enjoyed it
That was AWESOME!! Always look forward to what you'll come up with next!!🍗
Duuude. Everything about this video kicked ass.
Thank ya
I've always enjoyed the bow-making and bow hunting videos, but I think these recent woodsmanship videos that you've been making are great content too!
Thanks 🙏
Lovely job! That's the first time I've seen a wheel done with notches. Much more solid.
An that's How You Do That !!! Very' nicely done. Greatly Enjoy your stuff . Thanks .
Glad you enjoy it!
Cool way to spend the afternoon and keep those skills sharp!
Amazing 👍
Thanks Clay!
Witaj Przyjacielu dziękuję za wspólną przygodę pozdrawiam serdecznie 🤗👍👏
Well done Clay. Your videos are the best, both in content and production quality.
Superb choice for a beer too!
Much appreciated!
incredible engineering Mr Hayes... but hitting the bird on the fly was an achievement!...
Cool.
Seems like an idea for an established camp rather than just a stroll through the hinterlands.
Super awesome video Clay! Im always excited when i see you upload a video
You bad ass, you. All the comforts of home
Absolutely bad ass
Looks delicious. Beautiful ASMR content 🙂
Thank you 😋
I saw this on the Alone skills challenge! So awesome to see human ingenuity and natures elements come together to make something so creative and useful!
Glad you enjoyed it!
U DA MAN!! Clay Hayes Damn modern day Daniel Boone
Thanks for the great content. Dudes like us won't be around in 30 years. I hope the tradition lives on. Bushcrafting is so simple and fun. Love the vids brother.
I've seen this done before but it always amazes me - freakin' genius!!! Looked delicious.
That looked delicious.
So good
Just a man and his dog. Simple....love it.
Clay, you should have titled this “wilderness weight loss program”
Another fun video, thanks clay! Super stoked to see your channel has blown up!!!
You and me both!
Watching your videos give me peace and inner joy, thank you so much Clay 😊 .
God bless you and your whole family!
Primitive innovation. A collaboration with Ryan Gill might be interesting.
That was genius. Hats off.
That's what I wanted to say. Bon appetit Clay. hello from thailand
Hello 😊
I like the way you built the fire off to the side and had the rock wall wind break/reflector.
Perfect!
Another great video Clay, yours always feel so authentic, thank you for showing the parts where you do troubleshooting when things dont work out initially. That alone teaches people so much about the reality of the outdoors, I seldom get things right from the get go and I have found its normal
thank you from a newbie who loves to learn
Brilliant !!!😀
Very cool way to rotisserie, that was awesome
Glad you liked it!
Great hunt, excellent camp cook!
Made my mouth water!
Clay, the grouse looks so good I can almost taste it. The trouble I can see is the time it takes to make the stream propelled rotisserie. A simple hand turned rotisserie would have had the grouse cooked in the time it took you to build the stream rotisserie. Great craftsmanship if that is to be a reusable device though, and I am sure it is reusable. I was getting hungry watching you buid that thing. I love the taste of wild grouse. Please keep doing these bushcraft videos.
This is not bush craft this is wizardry 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
That roasting method was so slick makes me wonder if fish could be cooked the same way. GENIUS content Clay! MacGuyver would have been proud!
I needed that today! Your skills never cease to amaze me!
Thanks again!
Creeks aliitle low and slow, here in Indiana, this fall. I want to try, maybe with a squirrel.
Next vid, how to free climb a tree!
Steve
Simple machines for the win. Excellent skills and it looked delicious.
Thanks
Nate
Genius level
I would love to see Clay go on America's ALONE,he would definitely be a great contender with that spot on bow shooting,and win 500 thousand to boot. I really enjoy your wood skills, for u are great at it.👍
I believe he already did, and won.
Always a fresh idea to ponder.
Awesome stuff as always!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Thanks for putting all that work in to show us how it's done😋
one of my favorite bushcraft videos I've ever seen. Thanks Clay.
Glad you enjoyed it
That was fun to watch! Yes it was worth it! I've only gone partridge hunting with a .22 and a 410 shotgun.. Never tried it with a bow and never had to climb up a tree to get my meal either haha! Good job!
Bell's Two Hearted Ale! Nice!
I would so love to see how you go about finding these grouse, haven't been lucky enough to catch any sign of them yet. Awesome video as always man!
wonderful! Thank You!
Nice one CH! You found the meaning of life...
I suspend the bird vertically to one side of the fire . A large bird needs a pan beneath to catch the juices for gravy .😊
Great video, Amazing, idea,oh and it looks delicious.
It was!
What a great video! I so want to try that. Thanks Clay.
Wish i could take lessons from Clay.
It was worth every bit of the energy a brilliant idea 😁
You're a fortunate man, or really blessed.
That is soo cool, keep up the good work man!
In my estimation, the dog, beer, and fresh air made it worth it. 👍
It was almost like I was there, sitting by the water drinking a beer waiting for my meal to cook.
🍻
Great video Clay. I really appreciate all the hard work and dedication you are putting into all of your videos. I do enjoy watching all of them. Greetings from the other side of the planet, Indonesia. Cheers. Marcel
A master at his craft
Endeavor to persevere!
Nice video again. Nothing can stop the P4!
Guess I needed more Lincoln logs when I was a kid. Thanks mom. The 10 piece set was fine she said 😂.
Kidding we didn’t have any. Made weapons with sticks instead.
Drumsticks are always tastiest. Trust your body. It wants the fat.
Great video. As a Michigan boy who went to college in the hometown of Bells I especially loved the two hearted you plucked from the river. Well done video as always.
Great crafting skill to complicated for a temp camp and dinner.
That was pretty bad ass man.. looked delicious. Great video, thanks for putting them out!!
Skills👌
Great way to send your time in paradise. Entertaining and inspiring. Worth it!
I tried that once over a Coleman grill many years ago.. I think I inadvertently invented Kevlar.
Some mad scientist stuff there clay , maybe with some go go gadget throwed in . Enjoyed , thanks .
😜
Nice 👍🏼

Hello Clay and family, hope this finds you all well. Right out of the gate let me sat that no, by no means was it worth it. The cringe I got from watching a hand made arrow fly away for less calories plus bird prep time was real lol. Next is never make a bipod when a tripod is so easy, stable and self standing. I would also save a lot of effort and just make the wheel out of pinky sized spokes and just weave that spruce root around for the center in a spiral like making a basket. A locking connection is as easy as making your spit rod with a fork and then tying it off after sticking it through the center spiral of spokes root. Small leaves in a split on the spokes will make paddles. You can also dig a trench if the water is shallow so more of the spoke pushed by the water instead of using paddles. I always split my root to make good cordage because it is like a bow stave and won't break against itself that way, but for cooking your bird and making that wheel it wouldn't matter. And on the bigger point, this kind of stuff in my opinion is just for fun, city people wanting modern luxury kind of thing lol. It made for a good video but I waited all my life to see your Penobscot bow really happen. Something I will never forget. Heat treating green bows was off the charts too. I think the last time I wrote was about the one piece dead fall trigger mods. I'm just saying that your skills and talents are lost doing armchair bushcrafter projects. Anything that will show a man how to craft things to live, trap, hunt or fight from nature the way ancient or native people did is where I think your awesomeness would be best applied and probably your enjoyment as well. Just saying with ultimate respect and a view from the outside that could be dead wrong lol. All the best as always, Mike.
Nice! 👍😃✌️🇺🇸💪❤️
Why am I so old, 79’ and sick. I make my own bows and arrows but I have missed so much.
That was fantastic!
By the looks of the dog…….well worth it!
Nothing better...
That was so cool
If you didn't have running water You could even do a rock/log weight on one side and a lighter counter weight on the other with a wrap around the spit in the middle and just reset the weights occasionally like a cuckoo clock. A pully would make it efficient but you could certainly just throw it over a limb or a pulley would not be to hard to fashion with some hollowed out wood and a piece of tight rope.
I liked his supervisor so remember to save him some 😅
Saudações Clay aqui do Brasil 🇧🇷
Would have lessened the chance of losing stray arrows if fledged tridents were shot instead of arrows! LoL! Goes straight to the fire as well.
Good stuff
Ive been so caught up with my weight training and getting prepared to try and do a bodybuilding competition that i havent been on here to check you out, i just made a new target for my bow a few weeks ago using some old carpet and old lumber just laying around the yard, my friend who is 12 ask me to teach him everything i know about barebow archery, glad he did because i literally have not shot my bow for 3 months, but with hunting season around the corner id like to put atleast one buck in the freezer this year, time to watch and learn
Now that was impressive…
Huuuuyyyyyyyyyyyy muy bien su primer video casería buscar, eso se trata pero para comer o esperar presa se necesita exelente cuchillos
Nice job! Beautiful Lab.
Wow that was incredible! First you hit a Perfect shot and then this construction … that’s so cool
Damn, that's using your head right there!👌👏
