Gotta say Greg, you're my most respected Bushman, I see it's a lifestyle you love and aspire to live that way indefinitely, such an encouragement for everyone too, always light hearted and easy going. You're the man Greg. Appreciate you're time ⏲ in getting these videos up for us to see and be apart of your journey, love you man, stay safe
That is a donkey engine, used in logging to move trees to one area for transport to a sawmill. In the woods in the Pacific Northwest, you can often find the log bases that they once sat on. I have only seen the engines in logging museums now. Great piece of logging history. Thanks for the videos, and you and Fin have a Merry Christmas!
Editing and sound has gotten a lot higher quality over time, I'm about it. I appreciate all the scenic shots and the pacing is slower which is more relaxing. Nice mix of music and natural sounds.
Nice story, shots, music and editing, Gregg. And cooking, camping and mushroom harvesting in the incredible misty, Vancouver Island Rainforest. Right before the deluge hit after weeks of rain.
That was an old steam donkey, used for dragging logs from where they're fell to a landing where they were further bucked to length or decked to be transported to a mill eventually. It's very old and they were very powerful and dangerous. Wouldn't pass an OSHA inspection nowadays. For crabbing in shallow water, it' best to be where freshwater flows in like from a creek. Place your traps out far enough that they sit in salt water but close enough that the fresh and salt are still mixing. Try to keep your traps in 60ft deep or less to around 30ft. After 60ft the sun's light dissipates so the less feed there is. I've seen it countless times scuba diving and crabbing both in the area Gregs in. Damn I love these episodes with Greg and Joe because of their style. So much better than city "wanta be" campers with all of their REI and Cabela gear, prissy camping and pooping in plastic bags and portable battery powered bidets.
REI makes great gear, cashed out some bitcoin for the summit advanced bag, best 1300 i've spent... like sleeping in a cotton cloud with the right pad(nemo ultralight)
Finley is one beautiful dog, I had one named Sampson, he got hit by a tractor trailer and it crushed me. I never got another one, it’s been over 30 years ago. Fond memories
You beat me to it its a steam donkey, looks like its been restored . Growing up on the Olympic Peninsula there were still a few of them around in logging museums, or every now and then you would find privately owned ones that were mostly rusted junk. They were temperamental and dangerous for sure.
Greg and Finn. My heart begins to pull me toward the wilderness every time I see a video with you in it. Unfortunately, I have some chronic injuries that prevent me from truly enjoying the Bush the way I would prefer to. I truly enjoy watching you catch fish, build traps and hunt for the golden chanterelles. The greenery is so fresh and beautiful. Your skillset is amazing. Salute to you and Finn for the inspiration. Be safe Greg. Finn is a good boy.
Unexpected surprise, I get to start the day off now watching Greg. One of the best. I've learned so much watching these vids, and look forward to learning some more. Keep up the great work Greg, you're an inspiration
I got up late today (have been working on-call so I needed the sleep) and my phone buzzes to show me this notification and got overjoyed by this surprise as well lmao
Thanks Greg , it was awesome, it was too bad about the storms and all the damage that damage, and lives lost. I think Finn may have met a Squatch when you left him alone of that island, that's why he's barking at the Squatch carving...good boy, Finn!
Epic video of your camping adventure with your dog Finn, yourself and friend Joe in the rain forest out in B.C. such beautiful landscape and forest . Nice size tarp to keep you all dry and awesome fire. such a delicious supper Very sad what happened out in B.C. with that mass amount of rain and flooding I feel for everyone . love the video
vancouver was famous for its logging legacy! that old thing that you found in the bush was probably something that the oldtimers used for draging red wood logs?
I was thinking the same thing. If the machine is on a barge I'd guess it dragged logs into the water to create a boom then float the whole thing to a mill
... Looking like a good time ... towns got a statue of Greg Ovens ,, hope you get your royalties ... Finns grown into an awesome dog ,, likes his close up petting ..
Hey Greg, im 15 and im a Boy Scout who has completed Philmont scout ranch. The way you do your bush craft is so neat and inspired me to do that trek. I love the wilderness and hope I can continue to enjoy nature in that way
I have been watching greg since he started with Fowler in the Rocky mountains and i honestly get so happy every time i see him posting its insane. Much love and as always another great video!
I'm so hooked on your videos! So much beauty in the setting, skill in your craft and comradery and humor between you and your cohorts and the amazing Findlay!
Reminds me of growing up in Washington and tarp camping in BC. Soaking for a week once caused us to smoke our clothes dry, we used a tarp. Make a small fire under kind of closed off tarp structure and enjoy your dry clothes. You will now reek over multiple washer cycles. So many memories.
I never like to look at life's mistakes as regret, but coming out of highschool I had a great opportunity to buy a 1957 Chevy. The most beautiful car ever... In my opinion. I passed on it because there were a few drops of motor oil on the driveway under the motor. Instead of getting the Chevy, I bought a 1969 Renault R16 and I loved it! You probably always fall in love with your first car.
I love Greg’s dog Finn, Iv had German shepherds all my life, Finn is a real good one, I think he’s from good working lines, Nice straight back, He would make a great police dog with that high drive of his.
Hands down the prettiest Green I've ever seen on a Truck.. Ford guy myself but I'm in love with that Truck. Restoring a 91' Fox Body Mustang my Dad bought new 30 years ago this past May' and that color has my mind wondering. Beautiful build and love the simplicity of it.
Old school greg is always what most like to see and the brains you have to ta take the wild life and make it your own food garden is something else love it mate keep up good work we all love it
Everyone talking about how awesome Greg is (undeniable) and I'm over here thinking about how awesome it must be to be the dog!!! Just roaming freely 😄🥰🥰
So enjoy watching all your content Greg, hope watching the ads helps out, well worth it for me. Finn is such a lucky chap, really living the ideal life 👍👏👏
Pretty, cool, Gregg! Man, I was looking forward, to the crab, catch with your home made, cage!Oh well! Another day...The main ,thing is for you ,to get get home, safely!Thanks!😀👍
Vancouver Island forest in the rain is as uninviting as is gets but it's a whole different story when there is a Greg Ovens around who knows how to make shelter and food and always seems to be in good spirits! And let's not forget the adorable dog😁 Bad luck Greg that you got stranded but no doubt you will make the best of the situation. You're a true inspiration. Best wishes from the Netherlands
I use to live in Florence Oregon we received over 100 inches of rain a yr, just like Vancouver Island, even if you kept your wood out of the rain the dampness made it hard to start a 🔥 so I started using charcoal and lighter fluid. 5 or 6 charcoal briquettes with a little barbeque lighter fluid will get anything going, it's magical...😁
Joe, Greg and Fin....great combo. I love Fin...always with a stick, livin' his best life. You are so blessed to live in such a beautiful place, perfect for the outdoors! Thanks for the video!
Well Greg, looks like you did most of the work in this video. Your friend should have done the cooking occasionally. Oh well. It was a nasty camping trip. Thanks for your videos and teaching about survival.
Never disappointed with your videos. My favorite outdoor bush videos would be your channel and les stroud ofcourse. Both coming out of the same woods. Love your love for the environment. Awesome dude you are
Gotta say Greg, you're my most respected Bushman, I see it's a lifestyle you love and aspire to live that way indefinitely, such an encouragement for everyone too, always light hearted and easy going.

Agreed, i just found his channel last night and been binge watching since, mans also got such a great personality
@@YoMomsaHoe344 🤪👍
🦵🦵💨💨💨💩
He isn’t much of a bushman lol. More like a pot smoking wanna be something. Cannot even cast a rod.
@@EvilAndy-os6bz Greg probably achieves more in one of his videos than you ever will in your sad little life
@@Jake11135 awww.
It's a good Saturday morning to have coffee with Greg and Joe. Much love boys.
Always fun Hanging out with Greg and Findlay 👍
Your great too Joe.!
Dude the scene you shot with greg and fin walking away down that rightaway epic
Awwh Finn does the same thing what my dog does. trimming de border to protect and collect all the water from the leaves :D win/win!
Findley is such a good boy. Your prefect companion Greg.

Cool thanks for the info.
"Steam donkey" is often how i hear them refered to as locally
Frying up some eggs and toast while watching Greg and Joe grill a tomahawk. 👍 happy saturday !
You are natural. Just looking at your dog. All natural alignment and connection. Just pure natural instinctual relationship. Love your channel.
Editing and sound has gotten a lot higher quality over time, I'm about it. I appreciate all the scenic shots and the pacing is slower which is more relaxing. Nice mix of music and natural sounds.
Gregg you the man!! Love and support from London; England 🏴
Nice story, shots, music and editing, Gregg. And cooking, camping and mushroom harvesting in the incredible misty, Vancouver Island Rainforest. Right before the deluge hit after weeks of rain.
Ladies and gentlemen, the Bob Ross of bushcraft
I don’t normally post comments, but you bring me such a sense of calm in your videos, so thank you.
I've never felt so hungry until after watching your show. Really enjoy the work you guys ut in. Ty for your time.
Joe seems like a good dude.
Love the videos with you guys and finn.
I love seeing Finn always playing and so undeniably Happy always running up with a stick ready to play fetch...!

@@iamagooddog21 Then you better bring some baby wipes or a bidet. Moss works great and the bugs in it clean your bung hole too. LOL!
Fin and his stick is everything! 🥺😭

Greg you are a blessing. I watch your show to relax my mind.
Gold nuggets are everywhere. Love your work Greg. Great team of Greg Finn and Joe

Goodmorning!
Happy Holidays!
The old piece of equipment is a Steam Donkey used to yard logs into the landing!
Great channel!
Thank you
Fin is such a good boy.
Joe just wanted to get home to cook that giant mushroom. This show was better than the mini series and the cooking was class A.
The cauliflower mushroom weight was 10lbs once I put it on the scale 😁
Hey Greg, hey Finn, hey Joe...y'all picked a pretty good spot for camping! 👍🔥🪵🪓☕
Fin adores you Greg. 100% loyalty. You can see it in his eyes and movements. Dogs know a good person when they see one. Cheers Greg.
Perferct combinations in this video: Bacon and eggs, Steak and mushrooms, Greg and Joe with Finn
I like Greg the best of the outdoor guys. Good clean living...
I'm so hooked on your videos! So much beauty in the setting, skill in your craft and comradery and humor between you and your cohorts and the amazing Findlay!
Merry Christmas Greg! I hope you are having a wonderful holiday! Looking forward to seeing you again! Just can’t get enough of you!

That food looked delicious, it's always better over the coals

That's beautiful! There are so many of us that just long for such adventure.
So enjoy watching all your content Greg, hope watching the ads helps out, well worth it for me. Finn is such a lucky chap, really living the ideal life 👍👏👏
Great bush camping with full respect to the environment. Brining your own food makes a day worth the while. But getting from the wild is better.
Oh my gosh who besides started salivating the minute they seen that steak. My gosh does it look so delicious 🤤
Pretty, cool, Gregg! Man, I was looking forward, to the crab, catch with your home made, cage!Oh well! Another day...The main ,thing is for you ,to get get home, safely!Thanks!😀👍

Greg, I like your videos. I just caught up watching all your past videos. Waiting for your next ones.
The statue of Greg is awesome!
Glad to know Joe has 2 channels. He's so chill, and chill is exactly what I want from my outdoors videos. Instant subscriber!
Out of all Ovens this one is the best of its kind! Thanks Greg for such a content 👍🍀👍🍀
im happy to see you both again together,keep safe thanks for the adventure tour..
One of the only guys that literally lives the lifestyle he shares for us all on here HNY mate 👌
I'm South African, & I enjoy ur videos a lot Greg. I wish we could hangout in the wild together for a day/two
🥰
Wow the knowledge you both have! Thank you for the mushroom hunt, so important to teach this Joe. Oh to have Greg Cook up breakfast, what a treat.
Dynamic with the plan and quick decision
I was raised on the Island, sure know the rain you dealing with,,lol but the smell and the damp I will never forget..
Vancouver Island forest in the rain is as uninviting as is gets but it's a whole different story when there is a Greg Ovens around who knows how to make shelter and food and always seems to be in good spirits! And let's not forget the adorable dog😁
