I’m part of the 99% that think your an all round good bastard Clay! I think your’ve had quite the a positive impact as a role model for many young guys, particularly NZ’s who are into the outdoors, and adopt some of your values and qualities.

Hi Clay, 25 here. It's a pleasure to be able to listen to your videos, and I've been watching for about 4 years. The sub count has grown heaps, but more importantly it's been great to hear your input on life and see you grow and change your opinions. A lot of the older fellas I know are so stuck in their ways they're going backwards, so I've always had a huge respect for how you carry yourself. I lost my Grandmother in November of last year following a stent procedure she did not recover from, following a heart attack. I know you deal with heart disease too, but it hits home when you talk about it more, now. You're a legend and nothing less, hope to see many more videos in the future when your health permits it. Cheers, Jakob

I was dreading 2023 as I was was turning 60 & becoming a grandfather for the first time & both events had me shitting myself. As a kid I though anyone aged 50+ was just an old bastard on borrowed time lol. I've now come to terms with my age but becoming a grandfather is the absolute best thing. I lost my bro during the first covid lockdown & my Mum during the second covid lockdown & so due to covid funeral restrictions my family couldn't celebrate both passings. But my grandsons arrival has had a significant positive effect on me & I feel this joy within every time I see him. Anyway...appreciate your vlogs & candidness. Keep well fella.

Good on ya Clay,say it like it is, All the best for your 60th 👍

Well I just adore you Clay. Always have since your first video I ever watched. I don’t think you realise how you have actually helped people in their lives. Thank you for keeping it real and not giving up on us. We love you 🥰

Thanks for that, awesomely clear vision there bro 👍👍👍😊

Brother I just love watching and listening to you. All your videos I get something out of. I just wanted to say I appreciate you and all you do

I've always watched your channel. always wait for the new video. wished I could afford patreon but I can't. none the less absolutely love your channel.

Happy new year Clay. Your content has brought so much value to my life! Wishing you a week that's both fun and safe, with a little bit of mischief thrown in.

I have been following alot of other catch and cook, and survival videos for 10+years, this is by far the BEST channel i have discovered! by far the BEST channel if you like Hunting, fishing, and all round good bastard! love your work mate!!

Thanks Clay for the heart to heart it is one of the reasons I enjoy the Bro Chek Club. Keep on being free man, Cheers!

Good on ya mate , stay strong , keep up with the good energy.

Love listening to you Clay. You always find a way to cheer me up mate.

I'm 50...I been catching pigs since I was 14..I've had some good dogs and caught alot of good boars from one end of NZ to the other....I can tell all you young fellas out there that the best pig to catch is a fat 80 to 100lb sow...no vet bills, no dogs dead or stuffed up , no tears and no jealous pighunters trying to poison or steal ya dogs....good on ya clay

Much love Clay❤️

I love watching your videos especially when you catch something then take it home prepare it then get vegetables from your veg patch and make a meal out of it that to me it seems very rewarding been able to achieve that, and it’s also good that you are passing that knowledge on to the youth it’s a skill set that many seem to lack these days, keep up the good work .

19:29 when you say you dont even know who are half the time 😂 gold mate. Great korero, straight up the guts 💯🙌

I'm new to your other channel and this one as of today. I wish wish wish I had a friend like you, you are such a people's person and I I could really do with that in my life right now and beyond. I'm going to be homeless soon (I'm in the UK), I cannot get any help from any direction, I have no family and no friends purely because I lived off grid from 2016 to 2023 after divorce. I would go anywhere in the world to have a friend and a little support. I too love hunting, fishing and a little basic bushcraft. So yeah, here's to people like you.

Another day with good old Clay ❤❤❤

I love your survival type videos. I have watched others who do videos...I survived 24 hrs and I think to myself... seriously how hard is 24 hrs alone living off the land. But when I watch your survival videos I truly learn something.

Hi Clay, good to watch you again. I was wondering where you had got to. Now I've found this channel I got a heap of videos to catch up on. If it wasn't for the negative comments I would still be filming my hunts. Anyways, hope all's well mate, alot of us appreciate your content 👍🏿

You're spot on about the 4cyl Toyota's. As soon as they've got a few tonne behind you're wanting for a bit more power. Love listening to your thoughts Clay. I reckon you've got a unique way of thinking that puts ideas in people's heads they otherwise wouldn't have had. Hats off to you for carrying on despite the shitty commentary brother 💪 Cheers, Chef Jimmy

Enjoyed your commentary on you tube and other digital media Clay.

Your videos not just interesting,, it's like great educations to learn... Great job Mate.. Keep it up...

Just giving your algorithm a tickle.

Brilliant. What is so good about your channel you doing talk bollocks. Straight 👍

Don't underestimate the impact you have on young men mate . I'm mid 30z and have been through ups an downs of life . Life is good now I can't complain and gratitude is everything . I look forward to you're yarns and hope they continue into the future 🙏

Great video.

Good chat !

Good afternoon clay well said buddy you’re doing a great job. I didn’t join up for the action maté honestly it was you just the way you are no bullshit just straight to the point and the rest is just a bonus. Can I just say for me I’ve never joined any other group chat for what you do. Can’t explain it your just like a regular block so thanks for being you. You sure have endured a lot over the years with your health but never complained hats 🧢 off to you. All the best 🤠 Colin 🙏☕️☕️👋

Shit... Ignore my last comment on your last video on clay tall stories mate, literally wrote it like half hour ago then saw this. Gonna miss the more frequent vids, but you do you my bro. You do so much for lots of people clay, sweet as bro...👊🏾

Nice clay, love it

My 5.7 litter V8 HSV Holden was a good deal sports car for 7.5 grand...

Clay, outstanding man. Nearly carked it last year, turning 63 next month. Like you alive and kicking. 😊Kia Kaha my friend. Ps nice to see my old folks house on Iwa Street. Cheers Clay 😊

Hey clay love the vids! Have missed the homesteading once a week vids and the upgrades on the house and land. Did you finsih the studio out the back?

From what I've been reading/listeing to; YT Shorts aren't great for building a channel and there's been more traction being gained now for the long form. The longer form gives you solid subs who watch for longer; which in turn is better for monetisation etc. Plus they are continually watched over time/years; not just for a short period and then that's it. I've made a bit of a mistake by pursuing Shorts. It's built nearly 5k subs; but the analytics show that those subs pretty much only watch shorts

Love watching yr channels Both of them (Even though I am a bro'ess ) .. You've turned me on to Possyum for my dogs and maybe you can come do Garden one with me anytime x I loved your survival vids .. I think its important like the gardening that we pass on those homesteading and survival gigs .. any haters mate just delete xx

You tell it how it is bro, love it, nothing wrong with a bloody sow or hand bagger😂👌

I will watch anything you put up mate think it's pretty gid listening to you have a blether you go get yourself a land cruiser life is short and you never know what is round the corner 👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Well said buddy 👍👍

Good work clay

One day I will come to u mate if I am still round very very nice place u the real man I like your videos I am from Melbourne Australia Indian from Fiji

Thanks Clay, well said, take care, re 4wd, if towing not sure if 4cl cuts it, but am sure you can work it out yourself as they'll prob add some carbon tax on fuel in 5 years so maybe v8 will also have its issues, re comments on YT, I've always enjoyed your content, esp gardening and farm living cause most of us city dwellers will never experience it, thanks a lot for what you do ❤ Godbless bro

Awesome insight to what you do mate. You should be recruited at a higher level to teach younger people. So simple but so accurate information. Cheers

Nice nissan mate 👌 but yup the v8 land cruiser are viscous

How’d Mr. Clay; it’s great to see you andto get your notification. The weather there looks beautiful; sun shine and the sky is a beautiful blue. Ohhhhh I long for warmer d ays. We are waiting on a dam ice storm. I tried to do some shoveling. What a joke, I am almost ashamed to tell you how little I got done, although I did manage to bring up the garbage can. Some of you younger foutagesolks are probably thinking what’s the big deal about that. Hell waking up is a gift from GOD. Well, anyways , we are under a Winter Storm Watch, with sleet,freezing rain, enough to cause power

So, sorry about that, I still don’t know how I do that. Ok, it’s Monday night at 11:15pm January 22,2024. It’s so quiet outside, usually it’s noisy and cars are going everywhere. We I bet the stores were busy as hell. Alright, I will shut my trap and get back to enjoying y’all. Sincerely.

Cheers clay. Health first mate

Go fishing mate for your 60th birthday
