  • Greg tests out a NEW method with his famous mouse trap ice fishing set line!
    Greg is a self-taught survivalist from Canal Flats, British Colombia, who, since he was a boy, has read nearly every book on the topic. When he is not out in the wilderness, he is a professional dry-waller. He started his first bow drill fire when he was thirteen and spent the next forty years learning bushcraft and studying plants and edibles. He has even developed some of his own survival techniques and is a skilled hunter with both a bow and a slingshot.

    Too old? That was rude. I'm 68, and I would love to go with you for a catch and eat adventure though probably not for 30 days. How can you be too old to do what you want to do? I cannot wait for the Australia trip! Also, I really like you and Amos and you and Joe as a team. Joe really won me over when he came looking for you. Nothing better than a loyal and caring friend.

    HI Greg if you cut a plug of polystyrene in a circle say two inch thick and place your mousetrap on it hot glued and drilled for the line to go through it will float on a stable base and also keep the hole from freezing. We use this on our fish pond to stop it freezing over about two to three inches all around the styrene to keep the pond oxiginated it works. Love your vids and watch them all. Rob T from UK.
