I noticed that too. I think this episode was telling, or, at least how it was edited was telling. All contestants were shown facing some adversity - Theresa with her burns/dead fish, Biko with his mouse/ankle, Colter and his fish trap, and Rose with her cold feet - meanwhile Clay is just out there enjoying the vibe, chasing bears. I think it shows he's got the head space to go the end, and compared to everyone else, the calories stored up to go the distance.
Self filming and starvation would solve that problem for some. Something are best left unshown.
What is wrong with hoarding?
A few seasons ago a guy had racks of smoked fish but was hoarding it. He got pulled by the medics because he was too skinny. He cried and promised he'd eat more fish but it was too late.
I was surprised Clay didn't utilize that deer more completely. For example, I think he left the ribs and bones at the kill site. Maybe he didn't have a way to preserve it.
With so many grizzlies around I think he just wanted to distance himself from the kill site asap.
I agree. Fat is the most important part of that animal. It’s pretty easy to preserve in that you can boil the bones and cook it down into lard. He also used the brains to tan that hide instead of eating it. Cool project but there’s tons of fatty calories in the brain. That lean deer meat isn’t gonna last him very long and he’ll lose a ton of weight if that is all he’s eating. Clay is a hell of an outdoorsman but I don’t think he’s gonna outlast Biko or Colter if he doesn’t kill another big game animal
Colter's a weird dude. He's gonna be tough to get out of there.
