Watched last night and your right. 
Got to know about Clay from when he won the show Alone. Was glad to find his hunting videos. I don’t really watch hunting shows anymore but I watch his. It’s hard to find good traditional muzzleloader content. Especially western hunting. Haven’t seen this one yet. Thanks for posting!
Clay Hayes' award winning video "Untamed," created a decade ago, is a classic treasure that SO captures the essence of WHY many of us choose traditional methods of hunting. It's all bow, but to me captures the reason for traditional sidelocks as well.

If he was a real hardcore dude he’d sleep under the treefall!? I think he might pass for hardcore. What beautiful country.
For those from other places - In the American West there are wilderness areas that have been set aside for recreation and hunting. They don’t allow any motorized vehicles within wilderness, even for maintenance. There is usually good reason these areas have been undeveloped, often because access is limited and the terrain is very rugged. These areas are often 100, 200, 300 square miles, and are open to the public (assuming you can get in). Not sure if he specifically said where he was in Idaho, but one of the largest designated wilderness areas in the contiguous states is Frank Church-River of No Return Wilderness which is 3700 square miles or so, in Idaho.

It's the only season of "Alone" I watched as I was already familiar with Clay from a traditional bow forum and his early videos and shows, and I wanted to see him win. It took 74 days of wilderness survival, some of it in winter, in British Columbia for all of the other contestants to tap out or be "forceably" removed by the physicians that had occasional checkups to assess the health of remaining contestants, taking them out if their condition was becoming life threatening. Winning that contest is hard core.
