"We need more of him". "Except for me, I like using a smartphone sitting in a temperature controlled building, and driving a temperature controlled vehicle, sitting on a couch, having a bed, playing runescape." You don't want more of him since you sit behind a computer playing runescape instead of being him like you said.
The grade 3 students in the Alberta school system were given a bright orange garbage bag and whistle as a survival lesson until some concerned adult complained about giving the 8 year olds a plastic bag. They were taught that it was survival gear not a toy but some people can't understand.
What do you mean black bags are survival stuff lol. we as kids used to make black bag jumpers all the time also if you have the smaller shopping bags you can roll it into a hat. Good stuff fella keep it up
You remind me of a fella I met through my brother Greg. Not sure what his real name was, but we called him Strawberry. He lived in the mountains of Colorado and built houses for folks.
Is there no gravel bar?? You need coffee. Where is a gravel or sand bar? As a child we caught fish in the "little Piney". They had a lot of tiny dangerous bones.
I've had a really rough day, as many folk out there have, but I've felt especially low today and things started getting to me. I was going to go to bed on a sad note but I just decided to go on youtube and I smiled for the first time in a while because I saw you'd posted a nice long video. Thank you, Mr Ovens, I hope you know how wholesome, real and very wonderful you are. You make everyone who watches your videos smile and you make me remember my childhood and younger adult life, when I was free to explore the wilderness as my home in the Highlands of Scotland. I miss the adventures and, maybe one day, I can get back out there. All the best to you and Finn, bud. Keep on casting!
Jesus is loving you at your very lowest moment. He is wonderful. He rescued me from a low that I never would have made it out of on my own. I don't know what your conception of Him is, but I sincerely hope you call out to Him. He is real, and faithful to answer your seeking Him. If you ever hear His voice in your heart, you will be sure of whe He is. This world is a hard place these days, and I was feeling low today too. It is such a comfort to know I can call on Him, and He sustains me. Just thought I would share a sincere well wish for you. May God bless you.
I loved the joke at the start "Free Turkey if you can Outruun security" it took me a few seconds to think about it lmao Keep the guides coming! We love your work and we appreciate it so much. :) Very calming AND funny at times :)
Bob Ross would have been smart enough and known better not to "get his sleeping bayg all wett" and wouldn't have left the challenge, claiming "PTSD from Pyatagoohhniyaaa"
This is sane human activity - it's the consumption Capital merry-go-round that's gotten us carried away xD I could fathom designing countless garbage bag suits for different purposes. Luxury-grade survival suits!
I think my favourite part of this video is actually the fire safety aspect, so many people don’t understand how flammable things are, or how fires can spread under ground, along old roots, and the like…
When I was young back 🔙 n 1978. I knew a girl who got sick all over herself at a party in the woods. She passed out, but woke up in the wee hours and walked home a couple miles naked in an inverted garbage bag - tearing holes for head and arms in the corners. Impressive !
You impress me incredibly with sleeping on the ground. I don’t think I could do it. Too afraid of creepy crawlies walking on me all night. Lol. I’ve experienced bed bugs before. I know your pain with that. Ugh. But isn’t anything biting you or bothering you while sleeping on the ground? As always, thx for another great vid. I continue to learn a lot from you. Watching from Ontario Canada
Greg I love watching your videos.... My dad passed away about a yr ago an me and him would set an watch your videos together, he loved watching you as well an loved the things you do. But when he passed I stopped watching an doing thing we did an this is the first time I'm watching since he passed... It's good to be back watching you... It's very pleasing an encouraging. I hope to come meet you some day! That would be awesome.
Cities are far more inhospitable and treacherous than any wilderness setting. Greg is truly among the bravest of men for going into "civilization", such a wicked and evil place to be.
I'm so glad I found you today, thank you for making me smile. I so very much needed that. You have a fantastic sense of humor and thank you for keeping it real,. Much love to you and Finn, from South Africa
22:00 Nice addition to the video! I liked that! A while back I had a camp in the woods, I went to every day. Eventually a Ruffed Grouse showed up and stuck around the area. She wasn't too friendly at the start, but she got to be kind of like a buddy after a bit. I liked having her escort out when I'd leave to home and even sometimes, she was at the start of the trail to escort me in to the camp. She was there a couple of seasons, then disappeared. I figured she was that age to die, as they don't live long like humans or even dogs/cats.
Awesome story! These birds are so cool to see when you’re out in the woods. I can’t go out any more like that because of my heart, but it’s sure nice to see someone else doing it. Really love this man’s heart and blessings to you as well!
Good to see you back from the vicious bed bug attack. Your videos rock and are very calming with lots of great content. Thanks for putting yourself out there and teaching us. ✌️
Greg... You're like father that I never had lol... For real, very big knowledge and experience abt Bushcraft and survival, I learned a lot from you... Always waiting for new videos... Keep it going please💪☺️
I’m a really lonley guy and seeing the bong between you and Finn has made me get a dog and he’s my best friends I couldn’t live without my buddy the companionship of the fur humans are unreal we don’t deserve animals thanks for the uploads I’ve learned a lot from you over the years
I’m all scarred up from chiggers. My whole life in the woods never had chiggers until I took my son camping for his boy scout trip. Worst experience with bugs ever.
Awwwwww. Imagine how much safer you feel in the bush with Finn. I often fly fish rivers in AB with and without my dog and I must say I’d rather him by my side.
I always carry in the woods. My dog is my warning and a deterrent, if my dog can't scare it away I'd rather not put her in harms way, and bullets are cheaper then vet bills. Plus if I see a game bird I can get dinner.
Really enjoyed this video because, as a younger person, a group of us used to camp on a regular basis and seemingly, always during rain storms. Many times we made shelters and rain gear from trash bags including coats and pants and also makeshift tarps. On several trips we made shelters for our campfires. We tried to get contractor trash bags because they were thick and almost impossible to break. I saw someone sew together heavy duty trash bags with yarn and an embroidery needle. This video brought back some wonderful memories. Looking forward to your next adventure! God bless.
Few years back me and a friend got trapped in a nasty thunderstorm in Italy. We used trash bags in the same fashion and it saved us from two days continuing rain on a mountain. Great tutorial Greg!
Greg put some rubbing alcohol in a little spray bottle (from the Dollar Tree) and every time any bite starts to itch - mist it and your good to go, Stops The Itch ASAP!! 👍🏽P.S. Coffee & Black Tea are “warming” drinks if your too hot go for “Cooling” plants look like Mint, ect… (Love Finn!)
Awesome! I'm waiting to watch with my wife in the morning with a strong cup of coffee, maybe not quite Greg ovens strong though!. Glad to see you're back in action so quick after those bed bugs. Thanks Greg!
OMG My sides and cheeks hurt! Greg is so chill, super easy just kicking back in the woods of BC. BEAUTIFUL Trees sky moss n grass all around. Sweet poochie seemed to listen & behave decently. I should have known we were headed right into downtown squirrelly when the coffee pot/cup was the dogfood can from last night. I didn't realize the fashion bonanza available in a box of lawn n leaf bags!
Sir Greg, 🤗 Thanks for an awesome time. Be safe. Yes, you make my heart smile, 😆 also are added SunShine to my day. 🥳 (Vhalior: wishing you better days. 🙏🏻 Peace abide, divine goodness fill your days. prayer hugs.) 🌻🕊
Oo was thinking since the start of this video when we would see another "extended" adventure. woohoo! As always, Fin makes me happy. Cracks me up he had the same stick in the morning. I hope you reported that nasty hotel so no one else goes through the same thing you are.
Thanks for sharing these ideas. It could save a life and potentially make for a better bush experience. It can take several days to get out when you go down in the Rockies. I'd like to see some dumpster diving. The shoestring hobo showed how useful carpet store dumpsters are. The pad and polyfilm is used to create a human burrito.
Thanks for consistently uploading every friday, I really look forward to your videos. I also really enjoy watching you and your inventions thanks for keeping me entertained. Much appreciated
Excellent as usual Gregg. For the hood fastener, you could twist and secure the duct tape to make a loop on one side, then secure another piece of twisted tape to a small stick on the other side, to give a simple and secure toggle and loop fastener
Hi Greg, hello from Burnaby BC. Big fan, thanks for the regular video's man. I've watched them all and always look forward to them. I believe the plant by the creek was " Cleavers ", correct me if I'm wrong. Thanks again for getting me outdoors in spirit.
@@OvensRockyMountainBushcraft We have bedstraw down here in Oregon but it is a thinner leaved variety than what you showed. We call them cleavers, sticky willy or bedstraw. It is in the coffee family and the seeds may be roasted and grinded to brew a caffeinated beverage. I am fairly sure the variety you have contains caffeine as well.
We do the same with the coffee and call it "cowboy coffee", and i like that about the matress, my grandmother told me they stuffed thier matresses with pine needles or othe things, it was back at the turn of the century of 1900.thegarbage bag thing works when its cold outside. I made a raincoat and pants one time to stay dry because i kept having to go outdoors to get wood for thefire place
While you're at Walmart buying you crap survival gear, ALLWAY get a basic first aid kit, ALLWAYS. There no such thing as a cut that doesn't matter in the bush. (36:39) Use 6 mil contractor garbage bags. (39:08) Gorilla tape and overlap the joint. When using it for a lean to type shelter. Make sure the joint is horizontal so water runs off. You can tie a pebble in the corners of the bags and useing cordage you make to tie it, and add a lot of variables to you shelter. (43.+) if you make the neck hole down on the front (and adjust arm holes accordingly) you can create a hoodie and your neck and back will stay dry. "Do not" tape the arms it would be unbearably uncomfortable. And lets be honest to your viewers Greg. They will not be fine. They will be wet and cold and probably spend the entire night wide awake but they will have survived one more night. And please stay put till someone finds you.
Hey Mr. Ovens love your show, you've taught me alot, but on the bedbugs they make a topical creme at the pharmacy not too expensive it helps with the places it leaves, I used to be maintenance at 2 hotels and know your pain.
$75 of stuff of which 90% was made in China by children and costs Walmart roughly 6 or 7 dollars to acquire and they still raise the prices. Not your fault Greg. Love your videos, just hate malwort.
Lol Finn has such a nice personality. He means well, that’s for sure. 🤣 I laugh every time he gets in the way and clumsily navigates around the camera.
Greg 'Itchy' Ovens, is at it again! 😆. JK Man 🤣. O I just couldn't help it sorry, but when you started talking to the camera and trying to scratch the back of neck, I started cracking up.. couldn't help it! I know one thing, I'll never stay in another hotel room or motels!
Not only is that jacket made of garbage bags a handy idea in an emergency situation, but it's also a mood lifter because I can't stop laughing at how goofy it looks. lol 🤣I love it, thanks for the content!
In the 70s and 80s and even early 90s black bag jumpers and plastic bag hats were very common on football terraces. Cheap and you can pop it in bin after the match
Hi Greg, I noticed you boiled your coffee in the tin can the dog food came in (I think?). I remember learning that this can be potentially harmful due to there being a thin plastic layer that lines the inside of the can, which isn’t recommended to be exposed to heat. I guess it can leach harmful chemicals, just wondering your thoughts on this. Thanks!
Its not your fault. I personally would share the name of the hotel because other's don't need to pay for that . What are the chances eh? Your voice is so calming Greg.
Greg, I'm stoked for your camp, catch, and cook expedition. Is Ace your special guest?? Gonna be a seriously good time! Hey was just wondering in situations where a longer cast is needed if a slingshot would launch a round bobber, sinker, and some bait? A threaded worm or plastic might just stay on the hook with a clever Ovens delivery. Good luck on the expedition!!
Bobber lacks mass. Try firing a ping pong ball out a slingshot- it's not going far. Better off to do use a really long pole or best, a jugline with with several hooks
The plant in the creek scene is sweet woodruff. It grows well in my area and naturalizes easily. I love watching your videos and enjoy your knowledge shared.
food is one thing, but I am kinda surprised you have not picked up a water bottle or two. Seems like it'd be quite nice to have, especially with all the heat
Fin is such a beautiful dog. He sure loves you. I wish I could go camping in those beautiful spots you find. I don't have an issue camping alone either. Unfortunately I'm unable to drive because of my eyesight. See you guys next time!
0:55 in Democratic States, most stores were told not to chase anyone anymore. Walk into the shoe department and all you see is old shoes laying around, people just put on the news and and walk out. The manager said they're not allowed to do anything about it. Which is straight up BS
Hi Greg, good to see you up and about, those bloody bed bugs really did a number on you. I am thrilled to see so many eatable wild berries growing in the wilds of Canada.
I've used the trash bag rain poncho many times. I use the 55 gallon construction garbage bags, I usually just make a slit in the bottom of the bag. Make it small so that it has to stretch to fit around your face. About 20 inches down I make slits for my arms. But if the rain really starts to come down, I pulled the trash bag up over my head, Till only my face remains clear of the bag. Likewise pulling in my arms, They stay dry, And an amazing amount of heat actually builds up inside the trash bag. The elimination of air flow allows it insulative properties of its own. Also, Much like you made your tarp, I have made a sleeping bag! Slice completely across the bottom of one bag, And tape it to the top of another. Make 2 of these. Put one inside the other and fill in between. Grass is usually abundant and makes a good filler. It's comfortable, warm, And lasts a couple days before you have to add more grass to keep it warm inside.
Absolutely love this kind of education, some people think it's useless and we won't need it but I ALWAYS go by the rule "it's better to know what to do and not need to do it rather than needing and not able to do it" , also that must be one of the happiest dogs on earth, outside as often as he is. Great upload thx for the information 👍
Congratulations on making it onto "Frozen Alone"! I just started watching last night and was happy to see your face. When I first found your channel it kept bugging me where I knew your face from. Then it hit me when I saw you on Alone last night! Mongolia! Yes! Inflation is crazy these days! I was excited when Pierre won the Conservative leadership on Saturday. Hopefully he will be successful in us getting rid of our current government. Bed bugs are the worst! My son's friend brought them into my house. I ended up having to throw out all of my upholstered furniture, all of my mattresses as well as anything I couldn't put into a hot dryer
I’m just subscribing because I am very impressed with that head of hair you have. It’s awesome. When I am your age I can only wish to have hair like that

Great video like always Greg, Started watching Alone: Frozen didnt even know your on Alone again.Keep up the amazing work.
Hi Greg. I'm a new subscriber, as of I think 2 days ago (7/2/2023) I live in Northern Michigan and noticed we have pretty much the same plants. What clued me in to " this guy REALLY knows this stuff" is, you mentioning plantain and chewing it for a poultice. That opened my ears to the rest of the knowledge you so generously share, with times going as they are, I sure hope others pay very close attention as well. Thank you for keeping it real and natural. I look forward to learning more from you. Thank you for giving as you do to the rest of us.
Such a down to the earth guy. It’s amazing how much this guy appreciates the little things in life.
Greg is the last of a dying breed! we need more of him, hopefully this UA-cam channel creates them
Wish I could live this way!
love the runescape name fellow runescape lover
@@speedygtpyou can you just got to go out in the bush and do it.
I also play, and yup Greg is a real real solid dude.
"We need more of him". "Except for me, I like using a smartphone sitting in a temperature controlled building, and driving a temperature controlled vehicle, sitting on a couch, having a bed, playing runescape." You don't want more of him since you sit behind a computer playing runescape instead of being him like you said.
Huge fan of the longer videos like this! Good work Greg! 💪🏼🙏🏼
That was a smashing adventure! A whole different world from where I live.
You are good hearted humble man! Love your videos! Wish you all the best and greatings from a small country Bulgaria!!
Fin is adorable and I love how strong you and fins bond is.
Nice to see you back Greg
Awesome video Mr, Ovens.
Thank you for sharing. 😃
Mr. Ovens someone is trying to contact me using your picture and name.
I reported it. But you need to report it also.
Can't wait for your epic adventure I hope it's a long time
I think I would have made a plow point, but awesome ideas Greg. Thanks

my favorite part was greg trying on trashbags for 10minutes, most hilarious thing ever. so wholesome haha
yes it was! Struggled with the hoody a bit LOL. I love the guy & Fin !
Yeah, but I was really hoping he would make the rain garbage pants too. Oh well, maybe next time.
Bare drip

(36:39) Use 6 mil contractor garbage bags. (39:08) Gorilla tape and overlap the joint. When using it for a lean to type shelter. Make sure the joint is horizontal so water runs off. You can tie a pebble in the corners of the bags and useing cordage you make to tie it, and add a lot of variables to you shelter. (43.+) if you make the neck hole down on the front (and adjust arm holes accordingly) you can create a hoodie and your neck and back will stay dry. "Do not" tape the arms it would be unbearably uncomfortable. And lets be honest to your viewers Greg. They will not be fine. They will be wet and cold and probably spend the entire night wide awake but they will have survived one more night. And please stay put till someone finds you.
Hey Mr. Ovens love your show, you've taught me alot, but on the bedbugs they make a topical creme at the pharmacy not too expensive it helps with the places it leaves, I used to be maintenance at 2 hotels and know your pain.
$75 of stuff of which 90% was made in China by children and costs Walmart roughly 6 or 7 dollars to acquire and they still raise the prices. Not your fault Greg. Love your videos, just hate malwort.
Lol Finn has such a nice personality. He means well, that’s for sure. 🤣 I laugh every time he gets in the way and clumsily navigates around the camera.
Please don't believe any text comment you get that is not from Greg they will only steal your money or information ❣️
Greg 'Itchy' Ovens, is at it again! 😆. JK Man 🤣. O I just couldn't help it sorry, but when you started talking to the camera and trying to scratch the back of neck, I started cracking up.. couldn't help it! I know one thing, I'll never stay in another hotel room or motels!
Gracias,Sr.Greg,es muy grato verlo sano y libre de chinches,saludos cordiales desde Sonora,México🤠🙋🏻♂️
Ese Goyo es un loquillo😅
Every time I watch this video, I'll watch the part when Greg calls over Fin, four or five times!
Not only is that jacket made of garbage bags a handy idea in an emergency situation, but it's also a mood lifter because I can't stop laughing at how goofy it looks. lol 🤣I love it, thanks for the content!
In the 70s and 80s and even early 90s black bag jumpers and plastic bag hats were very common on football terraces. Cheap and you can pop it in bin after the match
Hi Greg, I noticed you boiled your coffee in the tin can the dog food came in (I think?). I remember learning that this can be potentially harmful due to there being a thin plastic layer that lines the inside of the can, which isn’t recommended to be exposed to heat. I guess it can leach harmful chemicals, just wondering your thoughts on this. Thanks!
Gotta love Greg!
Its not your fault. I personally would share the name of the hotel because other's don't need to pay for that . What are the chances eh? Your voice is so calming Greg.
Greg, I'm stoked for your camp, catch, and cook expedition. Is Ace your special guest?? Gonna be a seriously good time! Hey was just wondering in situations where a longer cast is needed if a slingshot would launch a round bobber, sinker, and some bait? A threaded worm or plastic might just stay on the hook with a clever Ovens delivery. Good luck on the expedition!!
Bobber lacks mass. Try firing a ping pong ball out a slingshot- it's not going far. Better off to do use a really long pole or best, a jugline with with several hooks
The plant in the creek scene is sweet woodruff. It grows well in my area and naturalizes easily. I love watching your videos and enjoy your knowledge shared.
That thumbnail though 😂
food is one thing, but I am kinda surprised you have not picked up a water bottle or two. Seems like it'd be quite nice to have, especially with all the heat
Fin is such a beautiful dog. He sure loves you. I wish I could go camping in those beautiful spots you find. I don't have an issue camping alone either. Unfortunately I'm unable to drive because of my eyesight. See you guys next time!
are you really a canadian girl???🤔🤔
0:55 in Democratic States, most stores were told not to chase anyone anymore. Walk into the shoe department and all you see is old shoes laying around, people just put on the news and and walk out. The manager said they're not allowed to do anything about it. Which is straight up BS
Hi Greg, good to see you up and about, those bloody bed bugs really did a number on you. I am thrilled to see so many eatable wild berries growing in the wilds of Canada.
I've used the trash bag rain poncho many times. I use the 55 gallon construction garbage bags, I usually just make a slit in the bottom of the bag. Make it small so that it has to stretch to fit around your face. About 20 inches down I make slits for my arms. But if the rain really starts to come down, I pulled the trash bag up over my head, Till only my face remains clear of the bag. Likewise pulling in my arms, They stay dry, And an amazing amount of heat actually builds up inside the trash bag. The elimination of air flow allows it insulative properties of its own.
Also, Much like you made your tarp, I have made a sleeping bag!
Slice completely across the bottom of one bag, And tape it to the top of another. Make 2 of these. Put one inside the other and fill in between.
Grass is usually abundant and makes a good filler. It's comfortable, warm, And lasts a couple days before you have to add more grass to keep it warm inside.
Nice!! Thanks for another great video Greg!!
I remember watching you a couple years ago. I'm surprised you're not at a million subs yet.
45 minutes in a Walmart is long enough for me. How you stayed in one for 48 hours is amazing to me.
Lol that walmart you have in your town the security there is a 400 pound guy thats easy to out run him
Absolutely love this kind of education, some people think it's useless and we won't need it but I ALWAYS go by the rule "it's better to know what to do and not need to do it rather than needing and not able to do it" , also that must be one of the happiest dogs on earth, outside as often as he is. Great upload thx for the information 👍
Aren't those cans made of part aluminum now. I wouldn't boil anything in them brah
Love the editing and extra videos! Great show!!
Congratulations on making it onto "Frozen Alone"! I just started watching last night and was happy to see your face. When I first found your channel it kept bugging me where I knew your face from. Then it hit me when I saw you on Alone last night! Mongolia!
Yes! Inflation is crazy these days! I was excited when Pierre won the Conservative leadership on Saturday. Hopefully he will be successful in us getting rid of our current government.
Bed bugs are the worst! My son's friend brought them into my house. I ended up having to throw out all of my upholstered furniture, all of my mattresses as well as anything I couldn't put into a hot dryer
Should have pulled the draw strings out of the garbage bags to use for tying things up, still a great video as always!
I can’t believe Greg tapped out so soon on Alone Frozen…
Was rooting for him to win
well good, thanks for saving me the trouble of watching it.
He's old and that season has some of the worst conditions ever.
I’m just subscribing because I am very impressed with that head of hair you have. It’s awesome. When I am your age I can only wish to have hair like that
Great video like always Greg, Started watching Alone: Frozen didnt even know your on Alone again.Keep up the amazing work.
Finally, something good to watch. Time to grab a Coke and settle in :)
Hi Greg. I'm a new subscriber, as of I think 2 days ago (7/2/2023) I live in Northern Michigan and noticed we have pretty much the same plants. What clued me in to " this guy REALLY knows this stuff" is, you mentioning plantain and chewing it for a poultice. That opened my ears to the rest of the knowledge you so generously share, with times going as they are, I sure hope others pay very close attention as well. Thank you for keeping it real and natural. I look forward to learning more from you. Thank you for giving as you do to the rest of us.
I think you did everything very well and would definitely survive in a bad situation!
I thought you were going to survive 48 hours in Walmart. What a fraud.
