In this episode of the Trad Hunters Podcast, Alone Season 11 contestant Timber Cleghorn breaks down real wilderness survival strategy — covering the critical decisions of the first 72 hours in the wild, situational awareness, how to prioritize energy expenditure, rendering and preserving animal fat, teaching survival skills to children, and what life truly looks like when you're living off the land with no outside support.

Timber goes far beyond the show. He shares hard-won lessons from wilderness survival, aid missions in conflict zones, hunting Marco Polo sheep and Ibex in Tajikistan, and a lifetime of frontiersman skills rooted in black powder hunting, muzzleloaders, and the kind of woodsmanship most people have never seen. His article on rendering and preserving animal fat appears in Trad Hunters Magazine Volume 2: High Country — a practical field skill as relevant in your kitchen as it is in a survival camp.
