Bison Hunt Road Trip Misadventures
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 вер 2024
- Greg is on the hunt for American Bison (AKA Buffalo), so he takes a road trip through Northern BC and Alberta, in hopes of finding the great beast. He makes some interesting stops along the way and gets some sad news about his best feathered friend, Hop-a-long.
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.

This guy is a good guy, no one can deny that. True Canadian and we love him.
what makes a true Canadian
There’s none good but God my friend
@@Juduh So then everyone besides god is bad? 🤦🏻
@@hlifino1 the definition of good is moral excellence. So unless you know someone that is never done anything wrong, then yes.
@@hlifino1 basically "yes"...The heart is above all the most wicked of things..who can know it!?❤ Thats in the Bible.
Greg is that uncle we all want. Not the one we deserve by any means, Mr. Greg I'd like to unofficially adopt you as my distant uncle sir.
I be gone from the population, if I had a uncle like that, he's well balance, and smart relax hurter.
A common sense hunter.
I actually have some uncle's like Greg., two left.

@@FowlersMakeryandMischief Appreciate your reply 😊👊🏻
Got me right in the feelings. Poor Greg I'm sad
Sorry to hear about Hop-a-long Greg, may she rest in peace.
Sorry to hear about Hop-a-long. You were the best thing to ever come a long for that bird. Your a good man Greg. Stay true to who you are.
Just newly subbed here , I love his lifestyle, forget the fancy Ferrari fancy house kinda thang , this is tbh everyone’s dream ! But how on earth do I get drunk and wasted as hell in the bush surviving ? Also btw I felt for hop a long , just because a bird is bird , doesn’t mean a friend ain’t a friend
sad she died aww rip hop a long x she looked so cute still always Greg
Greg, it's clear to see that you're an honest man that hasn't got an ounce of hate in your body. I hope your channel grows enough for you to call an end to your carpentering days so you can go on as many adventures as possible!
I totally agree....maybe he can...
Thanks to the support from you all, been out of drywall for a while!
Yeeeew!! Well played mate.
@@OvensRockyMountainBushcraft do you edit your own videos? They are done so well. Crack me up!
@@cjewell8444 fowlers makery and mischief edits them
this guy has a great spirit about him
That's just a boot every Canadian.😉
These are the kind of folks I get along with, I’m not made for modern America.
So true.
@@AKorAUSTIN Canada is my spirit country.
R.I.P Hop-a-long. Greg gave you an amazing life, regardless of how short it was. Thank you Greg for having a soft spot and giving her a good life! I hope you have some meet and greet this summer Greg! I would love to meet you one day! Thanks for always making me smile and have some good laughs. You remind me so much of my Father and it brings me back to the good outdoors days when I was a kid.

RIP Hop… u brought out the best of Greg. Showing his love and care for the needy. That is what I respect Greg the most. He is not just a hunter but a care taker for that chicken. Thanks Hop..
R.I.P Hop-a-long, You were an awesome chicken.
Dear Greg, Seeing you care for Hop-a-long make you more than ok in my book!
I know rest in peace sweetheart, hey what are the odds we gotten a egg or 2 from that coop.
Had a hen break a leg similarly. All the other hens would assault her, and wouldve probably pecked her to death. I sat with her everyday, carrying her in and out of the coup and setting water and feed next to her (in addition to making sure everyone had plenty of feed as to not promote competition). Also collected clover, dandelion and grass flower before it bloomed. I would lay her down with broken leg straightened out as best as possible without touching it. I WAS AMAZED!!! When the bone thickened to twice the diameter, and although not "perfectly" straight I kid you not that she went from the very bottom of the pecking order to the very top. I do think it had a lot to do with me sitting by her and encouraging her when she lashed out and defended the food I gave exclusively to her. Everyday she sat resting but waiting for some chick to try n punk her while she was down lol. Cheers to Yickens!
She was awesome... slow roasted with salt, pepper and a little lemon pepper
I’ll miss hop, I love your videos man and i truly appreciate the videos because they take my mind off the world and I’m really depressed because of covid and my living situation but I love you man
Ffs I’m a 59 year old guy and I’m in tears Gregg,god bless Hop and you my friend 🇬🇧
I like to think Hopalong waited to see you one more time before dying. Your a good man Greg and a fellow Canadian and I offer you my condolences
well said. Im sure Hop did.
Greg is such a likeable bloke, humble and honest too... says it as it is. Respect.
Cheers Greg, all the best. I'm currently in Thailand. It would be really interesting seeing you do some vlogs here in Northern Thailand one day. Thanks for all your hard work on the channel. RIP Hop.
Greg, you’re an absolute legend. If I had to bet on one person to survive the apocalypse, it would be you.
You have such a GIANT heart Greg, so big that it hurts ours that have never met you, Hop A Long was one lucky chicken, bless you and be safe and keep up the excellent content, i found you about 2 months ago and cant get enough ❤
I find this guy so cool man... his videos are great!
Anyone that drives 14 to 15 hours away from home bring you content deserve sponsorship , good luck my friend .
Amen brother
Awwww sad about hop a long... seems everybody really got attached to her... thanks for your videos buddy...
RIP Hop-a-Long! Thanks for the fun adventure Greg! ❤️❤️❤️
Gregs awesome content with Zachs editing is pure gold i laughed, I cried and enjoyed the emotional roller coaster of this episode.
Greg is Probably the most genuine person on the planet . What a legend
Rip hop-a-long, may she Rest In Peace. Greg gave her a good life, full of adventure and comfort.
I can't get how peaceful your soul is your so knowledgeable and down to earth your remind me of my pap before he passed such a great man
Greg Ovens teaching Sasquach on shelter building T shirt. best ever.
Glad you got to see Hop before she left us. You gave her a great life Greg and gave us all joy. Xx
The editing gets me every time! Haha!
Ahhh, hop a long was such a precious chicken. So glad you did a send off for hop a long. That was so special to see. Enjoy your videos so much.
as a long time fan and a drywaller, I feel even more connected to find out you are also a (ex) drywaller. tapper life
Greg - Thanks for bringing us along!!!!
lol the editing on these is so good.
i fell in love with this guys channel awhile ago. Cant get enough
its all soo peaceful, Cant wait to get out again and get an adventure in.
I actually cried during hop a longs ceremonies.
me too, what a waste of food. Nice fat chook for dinner, wasted man.
@@MOOSEDOWNUNDER I get what you’re saying, but I did the same thing when my chicken died. It was only a few months old so it would have been a perfect eating bird, but she was a pet to me so I couldn’t eat her. I buried her instead
This is by far the best hunting channel on UA-cam.
TGIGOF Thank God It's Greg Ovens Friday
Man
That hit a soft spot.
She’ll be watching over all of your adventures.
In loving memory of Hop a Long
Before the channel blows up real ones know about hop-a-long.
RIP Hopalong. And Greg I did new construction homes for years. Mostly plumbing/painting/pouring footers. That Ferrell rod is so cool. Lifesaver. Great content man
I planned on going to sleep tonight, but now I'm staying up til 1:30 :p. Noo hop-a-long can't be gone! :'(
I am so sorry to hear about hop a long, I'm a new viewer since last night.
She was a very blessed chicken to have known you and your family. People find it weird that us who eat meat still care for animals, even if their ussually considered food.
Your kindness and lessons remind me of my old man who passed away a few years ago. Its kinda comforting for me to watch these videos as it helps reawaken some memorys I have of his survival teachings. Great content. Thank you
Its a rainy day where i life so a cup coffee and watching greg i would he chilling rn anyone else has the same vibe?
Loads more bison past Liard Hot Springs - another 8 hrs drive NW from Ft Nelson. Often right on the highway in the winter time too. You wouldn’t regret heading there, Greg. It’s one of the nicest natural Hot Springs in the world... So long to Hop-Along: love that you treated her with love and respect. Well done.
Hop saw dad and was like, "whelp, nothing more a chicken could ask for" and took that last big jump with Ovens on her mind.
Dude, are you TRYING to make folks cry with this comment? Well... good job then!
So sorry for your loss, Greg. She was loved, and that's all that matters. Gorgeous ice falls. Best to you man.
Commercial meat chickens are the saddest thing. I love my chickens and I am happy to eat stringy tough birds rather than raise crippled but tender meat birds. It was sweet how well you took care of Hop-a-long.
Thanks Greg I just had to explain to my fiancée why I'm crying over a Chicken Funeral. You're a good man who loves animals and nature and respects it as we all should. Love from the UK brother
GREG silently stocked his Bisson though isle 12 and finally bagged his game at the check out. Yummy
RIP Hop-a-long. Gotta love a guy who cares for his chicken and gives her s proper send off.😍 Thanks for posting even though things didn't go as planned. You got to eat a bison burger do well worth the trip. Stay cool Greg😎
We need more of greg on the kat walk lol.
So sorry to hear, brother. You are definitely full of love and Hop was blessed by it. Great tribute and fitting goodbye.
"I haven't got hypothermia in awhile"
12:55
...AND, as you say, you have done a lot out of doors to deserve it! Maybe your skills are just getting better?
Greg talking about caribou and the show some elk.
Truly sorry for you loss!!!! She was dearly loved and well taken care of.
See you over the rainbow bridge hop a long. R.I.P. She had a good life.
Real men have a heart. You are a good man and make some awesome videos. Thank you for your hard work!
Almost like she waited for him so she could say goodbye
was not a waste greg, love your videos!
keep up the good work
rest in peace hop-a-long.
you will be missed.
A viking funeral for my homegirl hopalong, well deserved.
nothing is waste .your efforts are much appreciated.you are the true adventurer.we luv you.
ha! maybe on the best outfit to be wearing after last weeks craziness lol
It was still a nice drive, and OMG, what amazing views of beauty up there!!! Loved your Burger pitstop !!! Sorry to hear about Hop Along, however your time with her , you can always look back upon and treasure the moments of your adventures together!!! Much love Greg , Be Well ❤. Hope to See You Soon!!!
sorry hop along is gone - kinda had smoke in my eye there for a moment. glad you got some buffalo meat. even if it wasn't the way you thought. atb Greg
The Man who respects and loves Gods animals and nature like you are men of Honor. Thank you for your efforts and taking us along.
How can you even say that we don't care about Hopalong!!!!
Nice to see a fellow "Rocker". Did that work for many years and have the shoulder to prove it! Don't think many people know what a difficult job it is. But as one builder said, the work made us hard as Pine Knots!
RIP to hop along. She had a great life.
You can see the passion he has
For everything he does keep it up Greg not many like you out they're
I was hoping you were going to eat hop along you look perfectly healthy to eat
Me too. What a waste. Nice fat bird ready for the oven.
That was a really lovely tribute to Hop a Long. Sorry for your loss. Love the videos. Please keep it up. You inspire my sons and I in the UK. Winter hot tent camping soon
Ha we all hit like and he's not even on yet, thatta way.
That’s because we know it’s going to be good!
That's so true lol I DID hit like before even watching cause ya just know it's gonna be good and i wasn't wrong lol Sad about Hop Along though.
Way she goes!!
Oh my God Hop-a-long waited for you to say goodbye, I'm speechless. This is a very Beautiful Place.. sorry you Travelled that far and not be able to do what you set out to do, that's life i guess. You still had a good time... your definitely right always carry a lighter..peace and quiet, thank you for sharing..xxx
That is quite the timing on the fur and bison horns... are you getting ready to storm a town hall?
Greg you are about as cool as they come! I love your silly personality…also you sure have a lot to teach! The mountains in this video are worth watching! Thanks my friend for sharing!
Hell yeah, this what I’ve been waiting on
Really like it when you show the trail you're following road or in the bush, what a nice vlog and that burger looked great, so sorry about hop-a-long a nice celebration of his life, he was a mate and didn't pass alone, you gave him a life. Thanks for the vid, keep well.
When u said "....next time" and she quickly turned and looked at you. I don't cry at human funerals, but ......
Sorry to hear about Hop. RIP girl. We're all here for you Greg. Take care brother.
-Viking horns may be a bit controversial given the recent terrorist arrests. but 2 thumbs up Greg
Not a viking thing, no buffalo in Scandinavian
@@josephkittok I think you missed the point. I realize "Vikings" didn't wear horned helmets.
"terrorists"
Yee-hawdists not terrorists
@@doubledee8677 yeah, one of the terrorists that attacked the capital last week was wearing a helmet like that. lol
Greg you are just an awesome guy nothing gets you down your my favorite guy to watch on UA-cam
When I saw the thumbnail I thought my man was getting ready to storm the capital
Hahaha same
So sad to hear about Hop-A-long...thanks for sharing another great video with good stories. See you on the next one Greg. Right on 👍
When I was camping in Yellowstone, I was told the difference between bison and Buffalo is that “technically” above the equator is all bison and below are Buffalo. Rip Hop
Didn't even know that there were bison/Buffalo below the equator
@Paul Brennler native bison in Poland and parts of Ukraine.
Yellow mustard and white onion is all you need. Love you Greg. Been a fan since Alone. I have so much respect for you.
Awe Hopalong! Everyone's favorite limpin chicken :( she had a good run.... there's probably a better way to say that
This is the only content creator i genuinely feel good to support in anyway. Greg deserves the best!
That was beautiful. You'll be missed Hopalong.
Bitter sweet. Mostly bitter. Hop was a real trooper, a tough old bird. Thanks for the memorial.
I should not have taken a drink before the run way scene. Almost had to get a new iPad......
Burned into my mind's eye. Now I wanna gouge it out.
Man, I might not be fully aligned with your world view, but you are such a gem! I love your narration, humour and those little funny edits.
Looking good strutting on that runway mr ovens. Just watch for the "girls" that are 6+ foot with adams apples and you should be fine😉
Greg I've driven from Alaska down to Vancouver and I loved it... It took 5 day's and I slept in my car... I met people I picked up hitchhicking along the way and stayed in Vancouver a couple days, all good...
My first thought was "why wouldn't he eat her?" Followed up by "friends don't eat their friend's now do they?"
New Adventure: GREG OVENS LOSES HIS MARBLES. Well...loses Hoppalong; hits the Happy Hunting Grounds 'OUT OF SEASON' and still delivers stunning video and warm-hearted content. Sorry about the housing project: four months of drywall hanging over substandard construction. I bet you felt every bit of the strain by the end of every day. And...it's not just a job for pay...a big part of the payoff is that you were working to make long-lasting homes for families. I am thinking of an iconic tune: 'Spirit In The Sky', from the 'Seventies.' That memory is my send-off for Hoppalong, to 'go along' with the 'Fires of Cremation!' Great Call, Greg.
Only government would let that many housing units sit empty while homeless are all over the streets.
Them are reserved for them newcomers to Canada! Yeah you know all them doctors, nurses, engineers! Meanwhile them that here already leeching of the government!
The scenery alone is awesome.Very therapeutic to the mind and soul.
Stop with the silly cut outs, Oven doesn't need that.
Agreed. A few are okay, but the amount in this video are distracting.
also the bullshit title. If theres no hunting at all, just tell us. We will watch any how.
@@MOOSEDOWNUNDER "misadventures" lmfao
Sorry for the loss of old hop n I know that was tough for ya thanks for sharing with us n I've really come to really enjoy your channel stay safe n healthy n happy travels n surviving the bush you rock greg
She might have died from a broken heart.
Every single video makes me laugh out loud at least once. You have a great sense of humor and you dont even know you are funny.
what a waste when there's so many homeless people out in the cold 🤬
This misadventure is something I used to be famous (among my buddies) for doing. Classic Greg.
