ALONE Season 8 - Clay Hayes' return HOME after 74DAYS!

If I had to summarize my time on ALONE Season 8 in one word, it would have to be, profound. 74 days of wilderness solitude will teach you things. It forces you to take a look inward, and that's something that so few people are faced with these days. During my time surviving on the shores of Chilko Lake, my family was constantly on my mind. I thought my biggest challenge would be the physical side of survival; having to hunt, fish, snare, and forage. But, unexpectedly, that wasn't it at all. My biggest obstacle turned out to be the emotional struggle to endure complete isolation from family. Stoicism was a huge part of what got me through. This video shows some of what Liz and the boys were doing while I was away, then we see some behind the scenes shots of me when I finally came out of the woods. You can get a good idea of how much weight I'd lost (40lbs!). We see Liz's side of the Sat Phone call when I got to tell her I was the last one standing; that I was the ALONE Season 8 Winner!
