Bushcraft Fishing Rod and Reel - ALONE Season 8
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 сен 2024
- I got loads of comments about the bushcraft fishing rod and reel I made on ALONE Season 8 Episode 1 so that's what this primitive skills video is all about! Long before being dropped off on the shores of Chilko Lake in central British Columbia I knew that primitive fishing was going to be a big part of my survival strategy. So, in preparation for the show I practiced many survival skills including building a fishing pole and reel very similar to the one I used on the show. In this video I recreate that rod and reel using just my Leatherman Free P4 multitool, some paracord, and a little snare wire for the eyelets. Then Coye and I head down to the lake to try it out!
Don't forget to subscribe to the channel. We're uploading a new video each week that features one of the following topics: archery, bow hunting, bow building, survival skills, bushcraft, self reliance, primitive skills, primitive bows, hunting, camping, fishing, and a lot more!

Works great although it ruclips.net/user/postUgkxLoZpKHn4w7dtzXk1eygBlOhbLxuVe3uD took a while to figure out how to reverse it. Nearly disassembled the entire thing. Looks better than my Redington Rise 5/6 reel too.
I've been binge watching "Alone" recently. As an avid spinning reel fisherman I always think "if only they could make a decent rod/reel combo". The lashing skills are where I would struggle with this but bravo!!
Lashing is much easier then you think. Just watch a video on end lashing ropes. It’s one knot very easy to tie can be used on a million things.
If someone else did it you can to. The trick to everything is never quit.
Kids told him to do cool stuff...nice work dad.
Leatherman and such are a compromise on every point. I've never been a fan. (those scissors?????) : P
A good fixed blade knife that's comfortable in the hand,
a pruning saw and a multi-head screw driver are an infinitely better foundation to build on.
With each being a solid tool that you can work with, and at a cost of little or no more than a multi tool, I'll take the real tools every day. ; )
thx for the vid.
To each his own!
Amazing
Keep the bark on the branch son, it retains the moisture needed for a snappy springy rod
Your stupidity is showing
I gotta hand it to you. I thought I loved fishing. I’m going on 70.
I saw your other videos.
I live in the city and these little Johnny bad asses got nothing on a BUSH CRAFTER.
I HAVE ONE of the first leatherman tools when they first came out. I got it as a Christmas gift from a departed friend.
Just blew my mind with the rod guides. Holy Mackerel you’ve got alien 👽 level skills 🎣
🤣thanks
... As an angler, I LOVE how you made this!!!!
Was it something you had made before at home?
Did all of the design come to you when on the show?
VERY impressive!!!!

Looks better than the ones they used on Gilligan's Island! Nice work Clay! The Professor would be proud!
I loved that show!
You are definitely an awesome outdoorsman and doing what you were born to do for sure... Me and my boys just got done watching season 8. We were rooting for you and I suspected you would win, but I didn't watch any of your videos until now because I was afraid to spoil it. Lol.... I was amazed by the ingenuity of this rod & reel setup.. How did you figure out that design? My hat is off and I have a lot of respect for all the contestants. But especially an awesome job Clay and congratulations to you and your family on the win! Thank you.
Hey Rick, I first saw a design simple to this in RUclips. I’m not sure the channel name though. Sweedwood I think 🤔.
Now that's called using your head. Good for you Sir. We will all be using home made rods for what they for a store bought one lol
Clay, I new you were going to win Alone Season 8. You were my favorite from the beginning ... and is not... because I am a Floridian!!!.😂
That's pretty nice.
Spectacular job Brother thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise and for taking us on your adventure again thank you and hello from Detroit Michigan 👋 94/275
Yo im watching alone rgiht now that deer you shot came in clutch
great job clay, this is genius. god bless you
That was awesome to see you build that thanks for sharing
Sure thing
Awesome, however a bit overcomplicated, if you stay out for longer periods it will do very good, many ways to solve the issue but very nicely done 👍🏹🎣
Really nice project. I always wondered if you could make a small unmanned raft with a small sail and sail your fishing rig into the lake with a tether and then retrieve it to get further out in the lake and have some sort of trolling effect. You would need specific wind conditions though.
Maybe 🤔 That’s good out of the box thinking there!
This guy a sick
Mint grouse snipe and trout catch on Ep 1
You and Ryan Gill should do a primitive hunt in your state
We did a pig hunt together a few years back
@@clayhayeshunter yup, seen that. Need more of it
Brilliant my friend brilliant! You are is awesome!
Thanks much
A fishing spear belongs on the raft, and when walking along the shoreline, you should have a fishing arrow nocked on your bowstring, the arrow's head tied to the bow with 20 ft of braided fishline. It's pretty common to see a big fish in the shallows, as you stalk carefully along the shore. You should have something with which to harvest such fish. Such a bow and arrows are easily made in one day, if you have the duct tape for very easy fletching of the arrows.
Why the 2 positions and moving the reel after cast? Wouldnt the side position used to reel in be alright for casting also? Very cool build btw
I made my first bow quite a long time back when your channel was new (Well, fist bow that wasnt sticks and twine lol), and today I see that you got onto Alone. Thats freaking awesome!!
I have been wondering about those types of shows for along time and lately have been getting super curious about what it takes to get picked lol!
Now I have to figure out why my roomates never showed me that alone show and if I even get the channel, they love Naked and Affraid!
The rod is perfect! I see you kicked ass on alone! You had more control than me, I would have killed that damn kingfisher! Ya did good man! Congrats!
Xlent👌👌😊
Holy dogshit, man, what a great design!
Great Video .
Good way to let out 500 yards of drag
It only showed you catching like 1 fish on the show. Were you able to catch a lot in reality?
What knot did you use to connect the snare wire? And what fishing line where you using?
Sounds like you had to adjust your breathing after coming down from elevation. Was the elevation a challenge?
I live at about 3000ft so it wasn’t much different.
Really cool video but some captions or commentary while you were building would've been nice.
Rumor has it that this season only lasted 27 days.
We’ll see🤷♂️
@@clayhayeshunter lol I just made that shit up!!!
So how about a sneak peak did you win or how long did you last...
Haha, no chance!
@@clayhayeshunter you are no fun but I think you aced it brother by the way I really dig that bow you made for the show I made an Osage orange self bow my first one not as sweet as yours but I hope to do another one but a reflex dealer longbow. I learned how to make my bow by watching your videos.
Check out my self bow review I built on my you tube channel would really like some honest feedback on it
Thanks
so was the original design yours ?
I first saw this on a channel called Swedwood or something similar.
A little commentary would be nice. Just hard to see exactly what you are doing.
Can we just appreciate that he made a fishing pole with a Leatherman 🤯
Just curious what tool would you have used?
He made it with skill, the tool is irrelevant.
Literally what we’re doing, thanks for pointing that out
Kinda the whole point of the video ain't it?
👍
thats awesome👌
Thanks much
Oh hey Mr.Fowler, fancy seeing you here. I'm Subscribed to your channel. Good luck on the slingshot competition!
Saw your Duck Slayer video, and ordered 3 sling shots on Monday. It's been over 50 years since I shot one. LOL
@@customcutter100 thats awesome! I love shooting slingshots
Zach, he could teach Greg how to make a working example, and also how to cast it.
When I watched your season of Alone, this rod/reel set up was the thing I was most interested in. I kept trying to see how it worked but the editing on the show kept hiding its secrets. Very glad you put it on your channel. I am now subbed
That just raised the bar for the other editions, for sure.
Boy you got low standards for bars
@@myfalconry76 it must really suck to be you. My condolences.
U
@@brianeaton3734 savage🤣👌😜🤙
Man if you don't win I'ma be super upset, these kind of skills are by far the best in any season of the show. If anything history channel should give you your own tv show
Thanks for showing this! amazing tool. History has a nice show but they need to let us see more footage of these builds. I mean you are filming it and all they show is mostly drama. Thanks again for this i am looking forward to see how you do on the show!
Thanks, I’ll be recreating everything here on my channel
Great job Clay.
Not sure how anyone can go on the next season(s) and not incorporate a rod into their game plan when it comes to fishing.
Though we did see Jordan with a similar pole setup in season 6, you’d think everyone would be doing this by now...
So many unskilled in the art of fishing on the show. Clay totally set a new standard.
@@drewwiley7083 When really skilled fishermen see them, they realize how unskilled they are- even given the situation.
@@cuivre2004 You nailed it! So many stuck in that iPad-iPhone personal bubble, that they have a hard time making oatmeal from a store package. If it ain't Instant made, they don't and/or Can't do it.
@@OdeeOzYou're speaking from personal experience. You're an employee living in a dwelling you didn't build on land you don't own. Being able to make some bread or can some berries is an embarrassing thing to peacock about in light of those facts. Stay silent and humble son
This has to be the best most useful tool ever made on Alone.
@Dan Jett Well one is for active fishing one is a passive method. Not really fair to compare the two.
I am excited to see you on the show. I am rooting for you 100%.
This is a beautiful build ! Many thanks for passing this along. I'm definitely going to make several of these.
This is what happens when an engineer brain gets trapped with woodsman body and heart.
That makes no sense
@@jckdnls9292 ok
I was highly impressed with the fishing rod on last weeks episode! Thanks for making the video of how to make one. I enjoy all your videos. Great stuff!
Thanks Mike
Congratulations for getting onto the show and doing so well on the first episode. It means so much more because we have been following you on your channel. God bless you and your family!
Thanks much
Awesome video. And to think of the followers Joe Robinet has just from cooking steak. And he can’t keep track of his fire steel 😂
Just kidding tbh, I like watching joe too, but this is real bushcraft skill. Thanks for sharing.
When. I was 12 or 13 I made a bow from a black locust and some mason twine and killed a rabbit with it. I thought that was the peak of wilderness engineering at the time lol
ABSOLUTELY LOVE THAT RIG !!! Will admit you had me scratching my head on your intial wraps , with you being a bowyer and all LOL.. I'm gonna have to watch how you went about reinforcing your wire guides a couple of times .. GREAT STUFF Sir !!
Yeah man, those wraps were finished just like the serving on a bow string!
Day 2 and Clay already made himself an 11th item that would probably have been too technological to be brought in anyway. Been a long time watcher of your bowmaking stuff and no doubt you're either going to win, or something happens that gives you no other choice but to push the button.
I'd love to see you make extra sets of arrows on the show too. Just so you can allow yourself to lose a few and go for those less-than-ideal shots.
Stay tuned!
Damn. Can't believe i spent 400$ on a rod and reel while i could done this
One of if not the coolest survival build I've watched yet.
SHIMANO
I wish they could do a teen or kid version of alone so I could go give it a shot bc I have been told by many people that I am quite the outdoorsman and I do think I could survive quite long.
Take your states hunters education course, if you haven't already. Then purchase a small game hunting license/fishing combo. And get out there. If you can catch a bunch of trout with a homemade fly, and arrow a grouse, a rabbit, a squirrel, and a deer in one year: You can probably win.
(You can tell on the show, the people who win have done it before and the people who starve while holding a bow and fishing every hour of the day, obviously went out there to try it for their first time. Because those pristine locations the trout have never seen a fly and should be easy for an expert to limit out regularly, except for bad fishing gear. Also, big game runs scared out there and are hard to stalk due to all the predators).
Edit*film your small game hunts, because to get a spot on the show in a couple years, you probably need to have great camera skills, and a quirky personality helps too. Everyone has to send in demo clips to get a chance to get on TV. So get good at that too and get as much footage as you can.
@@TheJustinJ that filming stuff is a good idea, I will have to start doing that. As for the other things, I have already done all that and that’s why I want to give it a shot but I am 16 and I don’t think they would let me go on if I wanted.
I loved the spinning/baitcasting combination aspect of this reel. Takes the best of both- no backlash of a spinning reel and the winding in without a bail needed from a casting reel.
Knowing your archery background, I was waiting on the serving and backserving to come out...lol Love it!!!
Oh yes!
Same here lol. i was waiting for the reverse wrap
I recognized those wraps from my own rod building (using modern components and materials, mind you).
Could you make instructions to follow this build it be neat if it was also waterproof as well
Absolutely impressive! Thanks for showing it to us.
My pleasure
I just wanted to say that you're "click" sound effect for your like, subscribe little bit is perfect and everything should use it
😉
Such a talented outdoorsman! Good luck Clay! 👍🏻🇺🇸
Thanks much
A separate video on how you finished making the eyes please
Man, that's really nice! "Dear Diawa, it's been good to know you!" Haha.
I watched the first episode with some friends, We were all blown away when you pulled out the fishing pole!!
No kidding
I got a Bonner 🤣
That's really awesome!!! Never see something like that before, still great👌
Does Anyone Outhere know Felix Immler's Channel from Switzerland and his SAP skills?
Would be nice to know what he would say about these gorgeous bushcraft rod!
Thanx for sharing and looking forward 👍😎
I spent 10 hours sat behind my almost £2000 rods real and alarm setup yesterday loving life but after spending 20mins watching this I’m now selling the lot lol. Amazing stuff bro keep the vids coming. 💪🏻👍🏻✊🏻
I think this would be an enjoyable video if you had commentary throughout, say what you are doing, will be doing, and why. That way, after people watch the video, they feel like they have the knowledge to actually do what they saw done in the video. Or at least know step by step what to do and why. I think if you added commentary, this video would blow up because the idea of being able to recreate this is amazing.
This has to be one of the best ideas I've seen.
Great for spots you don't want to pack a pole into. 👍🏻
Very imaginative indeed If the boss is there during fishing meet the hornet's nest. Tell me yes the boss of this pot-belated corpse Nice to meet you from the rookie channel, boss😁😁👌👍👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏
*Ya know Clay, the Swiss Army Knife's Corkscrew makes for an interesting Awl too? That said... Can you do an entire series of **_How To's_** for the Leatherman, that covers everything from interesting Bushcraft Engineering projects, and Maintaining that super pocket tool? I et it would rival Felix Immler's one on Victorinox.* 👍👍& 💯⭐
🎅⛄☃
Hello my friend🤝🙋done Subscribe👍,good job Amazing rod fishing very nice rod🎣👍
Are we looking at the winner of Alone? I can't tell, it's a secret.
Just watched Alone for the first time ever. Just happened to be Season 8. Man, as much as I loved the shit outta Biko...YOU EARNED and DESERVED that win bro! You went out there and actually thrived. Well done sir! Well done!
Same here
Dam spoiled the ending oh well
@@landonbigboy4726 damn. Sorry!
@@JS-yf9xh nah you good
YEAH MARVELOUS MAN
Similar ideas are use for many years in Asia india many more!
After finally watching alone ( because of Hayes), I bought a second hand but new leatherman wave. I've never owned one but thought I'd give them a try because of Clays endorsement of how usefull and well made they were. It's now my edc. A day doesn't go by that I don't use it multiple times. I'm a contractor , forager and bushcrafter ( see my channel) and it is by far the handiest tool I own. Clay should get product endorsements from leatherman. They probably sold thousands of these because of him and he deserves it. Fishing pole is great but childs play compared to the dovetailed box he made on alone. I'm going to but that saw he used on alone too!
The snarewire and bow are not worth taking. I'd rather have the ration of pemmican and the one of chocolate. That's 10,000 calories and enough of it is fat to let you mix it with 10,000 calories of diced, boiled and fried cambium. 20,000 calories is enough to get you thru the 45 day wait on the use of netting, still able to show the producer's a bowel movement per week, when only holed-up in a debris-pile to conserve calories. So, if the raft and treblehooks, and the field-made bow and fishing arrows do not suffice to average catching 4 lbs of fish per day needed to not lose more than half a lb per day, I'd hole-up, make the 2000 sq ft of 3" mesh netting out of the cotton rope hammock and wait for day 45. Mix in 1 lb of diced, boiled and fried cambium, so that the 1200 calories of fish are joined by the 600 calories of cambium.
Then, if the shoreline was not frozen, I'd use the net traps in 1 ft of water and the 6ft x 100+ ft of seine to push fish from 5 ft deep water into the net traps. Do this 4-5x per day and you're bound to catch 20 lbs of fish per day. Be sure to harvest the fish with the 6 ft long handle made for the Cold Steel shovel. The blood and guts spilled into the net traps is NOT baiting. It's just the natural by product of how you harvest your fish. :-) Once the shoreline is frozen, the netting will have to be shifted over into becoming gillnets, several of them, set out in deep water, at whatever locations prove to be the most productive.
In a place where fishing was tough, this was a genius invention. I was wondering if you practiced ahead of time, then you answered it ahead of time. We’re rooting for you, the deer could be the $500,000 deer, if you can keep the predators away from it. Great channel.
I really like your method, thank you.
You're awesome. I hope you win. You are almost as skilled as that Bill character who posts on all the Alone-related videos.
🤣I have something left to aspire to!!
Clay, I've been a fan from day one. The video would be so much better if you could explain to us what you're doing. Step by step process would teach so many. Especially the knot tying. That's a great looking reel.
Why? His camera work is perfectly fine, and it's self-explanatory. Build one yourself, perhaps, and figure out what works best for you.
Awesome! Thanks so much!
Sure thing
i'd rather have 11 treblehooks, with lures made of ribbons of the reflective tarp and wooden "spoons' to make the ribbons spin, flashing in the sunlight, towed behind the pontoon outrigger raft (made in two days, including the oars, oarlocks and tripods for mounting the oarloack) You need a system of small logs towed behind the raft, holding the trotlines far enough apart that they cannot become entangled. Id probably accidentally spill some fish blood and guts on the pile of lures, too. I'm clumsy like that.
I just saw you win on the show and thought I'd look to see if someone made a video about the awesome rod and reel you made. Little did I know you had a channel with this video. I subbed. I felt you put the survival work in way over and above the other contestants and really deserve the win!
Ingenuity at its finest, Clay Hayes, byda way I love your documentary about keeping warm inda extreme winter months,😅
@ 6:33 ...Bigfoot was watching you how to make the rod.....and he was thinking......what it he didn;t have that shiny sharp object.....and the rope you used to tie it up......and the fishing line?....
ok apart from it being awesome.... if you can bring a spool of line why not just bring a telescopic rod ? and guessing you had hooks and lure ?
Me: just bought a Penn slammer reel online and put it on a brand new UglyStik rod. Id happy go fishing for a couple of months.
That’s awesome…thanks for sharing 👌🏻
Absolutely
Maybe you covered this in a video I haven't seen but why did you bring a bow rather than trying to make one up there? I'm very interested and it is the one thing that I think about in my what if I was going to do it fantasy.
Making a bow is a process that takes years to find and dry the wood and arrows are another thing altogether that need a year to dry so when you put that together it's not doable, and yes you *can* make a stick bow but they aren't useful for anything bigger than a rabbit
Clay what bird is that calling constantly? Cool rod building thanks for posting it! Jim Rodgers, GA
needs to have some directions and tips, what your doing, explanations etc, I certainly could not make one by just watching this video, bummed!
I have a question! Why was there not more hunting done by contestants on the show. Or was there and they just didn’t show it? Was the wildlife population small do to the amount of Grizzlies in the area?
Now every tom, Dick and Harry, will definitely buy Leatherman knives which includes me.
Orrr , you can take a sapling of any size and tie a string yo the narrow point and a line no longer than the pole and toss like a spear with the tag end tied to the brush or bank . More hooks and longer line for depth you say ? Add lines with hooks and a little weight , giving some space between on sapling ,turn sapling and roll up line and toss . All things are worth a try . In moving water keep sapling short.😊
We didn’t get a great angle if I remember correctly to see how far it could cast... And that’s damn near comparable to a manufactured modern fishing rod. Impressive work
I was casting a spoon about 40 yards easily. Probably couldn’t have gone over 50 if I’d pushed it.
