Alone Season 11's Timber Cleghorn on Wilderness Survival, the First 72 Hours, Traditional Hunting & Life Off the Grid | Ep. 003

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. 👉 Read Timber's survival skills article in Trad Hunters Magazine Vol. 2: High Country — available now: www.tradhunters.com [https://tradhunters.com/collections/magazine/products/trad-hunters-magazine-volume-2-high-country-single-issue] Follow Timber on Instagram: @timbercleghorn [https://www.instagram.com/timbercleghorn/] 📖 Read Timber's book "Memoirs of a Wild Man" [https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DL1BT7CN?ref=cm_sw_r_ffobk_cso_cp_apan_dp_7X2TK2BCSAW69N21CQAK&ref_=cm_sw_r_ffobk_cso_cp_apan_dp_7X2TK2BCSAW69N21CQAK&social_share=cm_sw_r_ffobk_cso_cp_apan_dp_7X2TK2BCSAW69N21CQAK&bestFormat=true&oas=true&fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAc3J0YwZhcHBfaWQPOTM2NjE5NzQzMzkyNDU5AAGnDHAie2vTAGDNDiYOhsbhv3ppuRibCsPT4_UO2W6sCpp2EEbUdLjNSUFGz_M_aem_J6cBCRAn9enf9giEQVm5Og&utm_content=link_in_bio&utm_medium=social&utm_source=ig] 🏔️ Book a guided Marco Polo sheep or Ibex hunt in Tajikistan: HERE [https://www.timbercleghorn.com/hunt] The Trad Hunters Podcast features traditional bowhunters, wilderness survivalists, and backcountry hunters sharing unfiltered stories from the field — no gear reviews, no product placements, no filler.
