Episode 750: Survival Skills to the Max – Hunting, Trapping and Fishing ALONE in the Artic Circle

What this episode covers

Timber Cleghorn recently appeared on History Channel’s hit series – Alone. The Season 11 contestant made it 83 days surviving the Artic Circle’s harshest of conditions. More than his survival expertise and his ability to hunt, trap and fish to survive, it was Timber’s faith that really drew me to him throughout the season. We discuss a myriad of topics and circumstances from his time in isolation on Alone to his upbringing and life as a believer in modern society. Highlights include: * Growing up off the grid * Running a trap line to pay for college * Why does he shoot a recurve rather than a compound bow? * Black bear hunting experiences * How did he prepare for his time on Alone ? * What was the best thing he ate vs worse thing on the show? * Killing the moose and the aftermath of taking care of the 600 lbs of meat * Dealing with bears, wolves and varmints that want to steal his food * Building the ultimate survival shelter * What is “chinking”? * How important was fishing in his survival experience? * What about his snare line? * Moose lard for dinner * The threat of frostbite * Gorge hooks * Overcoming the mental challenges associated with complete isolation * Psalms * If he was okay physically? Why did he ultimately decide to tap out? * The gift of daughters * His new book “Memoir of a Wildman” * And much more!
