About this episode
On this episode of the Bear Grease Render, host Clay Newcomb along with Bear Newcomb and Josh “Landbridge” Spielmaker are joined by professional bowyer, hunter, and Alone season 8 winner Clay Hayes. Clay shares his experience surviving in the back country of British Columbia for 74 days and the highs and lows of what it took to be the last man standing in this very real challenge. He also covers some of the behind the scenes backstory that you wouldn't see in the show, talks about making bows, tanning animal hides, and joins the rest of the crew on a discussion of the Clovis people from last weeks Bear Grease Podcast - "The Mystery of Clovis."
