Kristoffer Clausen is a Norwegian man who rose to prominence when he in 2010 claimed to have been living continuously in the wilderness for a whole year, reportedly living only from what he could find in nature.[1] The film and book from his project was filmed and written by himself.[2]

In 2011, Clausen confessed to having temporarily interrupted his project several times, travelling to Sweden several times to visit a sick relative, go shopping, hunting and sleeping in hotels as he travelled. Clausen claimed that he was "very sorry".[3]

Afterwards, Clausen has retreated to his home in Fetsund, from which he runs a company selling hunting gear and films.[4]

Clausen makes many of his own hunting and survival films on YouTube. He has also featured on the British Fieldsportschannel.tv where he goes hunting in England with chef Mark Gilchrist.[5]
