      I think people should also seriously look into investing of some kind. Something that brings money back to your pocket, real estate, stocks, whatever can bring back value to their bank account rather than draining it. Obviously investing has its risks but so does just having money in depreciating assets or straight up liabilities.

      Big house suv. Bruh you got people driving Honda civics, living in a 1 bedroom apartment and not a luxury one at that living paycheck to paycheck.
      The median rent is 2000. A lot of financial professionals especially the one I work with Samuel Peter Descovich agree that one should not spend more than 30% of their gross income on rent. That means you need to make a minimum of about $80,000. Interesting considering the median income is $54,000.

Several more pint jars of apple pie filling canned. I grew all the fruit and berries on the homestead along with my mini-vineyard that have several verities of grapes. All my fishing gear has been collecting dust for the past 10 years. I have moved away from the NE coast but that will change soon enough. Tackle boxes full of fresh and salt water gear and rods. Surf casting or jigging from a boat is a good time. Just like a box of chocolates , ya never know what ya going to get . Fenn needs his own saddle bags so he can bring his own food. If ya want a plastic net/bag I'll send ya one.

    *Summary*
    Greg Ovens teams up with Amós Rodriguez for this Vancouver Island adventure, full of stunning scenery and survival trials:
    *Getting Started and Establishing a Base:*
    * *0:00** - The Reunion & Ferry Trip:* Greg picks up Amós from the airport, kicking off their journey with excitement. They miss their ferry, highlighting early challenges and adapting to unexpected issues.
    * *3:21** - Campground Bear Sighting:* A bear fishes in the campground river, offering spectacular wildlife viewing.
    * *7:14** - Beach Arrival:* They reach their beautiful but challenging coastal location, marked by rocky terrain and forceful waves.
    * *11:50** - Shelter from the Tides:* Greg recounts the rising tide almost washing away his sleeping bag, demonstrating the unpredictable coastal environment.
    * *16:57** - Uncertain Water Sources:* Greg worries about the cleanliness of their water, hinting at potential risks.
    * *19:29** - Struggling for Fish:* They experience their first period of going without fish, highlighting the challenges of relying on natural resources.
    * *20:00** Risky Mussels:* Desperate for food, Greg questions eating mussels due to possible red tide, but ultimately collects them anyway. He later expresses doubt about eating them due to feeling unwell, perhaps indicating the early stages of a cold.
    * *21:20** Radish Garden:* Greg plants radishes, aiming to diversify their diet with something that might be harvestable in a few weeks.
    *Rain, Crafting, and Encounters:*
    * *28:09** - Workshop Studio:* Amós begins work on a large, covered shelter for crafting, emphasizing their need for protection from the elements.
    * *31:14** - Torrential Downpour:* Days of continuous rain saturate the landscape and make movement challenging. Greg discusses the psychological impact of constant rain.
    * *35:37** - Finding Chicken of the Woods:* Greg spots large patches of edible Chicken of the Woods mushrooms, bringing relief after a stretch without enough food.
    * *38:55** - Fire Ban Lifted:* They learn the fire ban has been lifted, offering a much-needed boost to their morale.
    * *49:49** Lost and Stranded:* A misguided attempt to reach a new location leads them astray. They decide to set up a temporary camp by a river with hopes of kayaking out the next morning.
    * *1:51:10** Constant Bear Activity:* They consistently find bear tracks and scat, including signs of large bears in their vicinity. Finley even chases a bear in the night, making it clear that they are in bear territory.
    *Fishing Successes and Failures:*
    * *44:03** - First Salmon Success:* After a stretch with no catches, Amós lands a large salmon, offering renewed hope for food.
    * *1:14:46** Greg’s Mouse Trap:* Greg constructs a simple but effective trap for camp mice, further showcasing his practical ingenuity.
    * *1:35:38** - Concern About High Tide:* After finding their smoked fish supply entirely eaten, they worry that rising tides could reach their campsite.
    * *1:51:56** - Kayaking for Salmon:* They launch their kayaks to access a new river and the ocean, hoping for a chance to catch salmon.
    * *1:57:37** - Kayaking Concerns:* Greg experiences the instability of the small kayak, further emphasizing the risks and challenges they face.
    * *2:02:09** - Missed Opportunities:* After several unsuccessful casts, Amós hooks a big salmon only for it to break off his line, causing frustration and disappointment. He later catches another, only for it to slip away right before landing.
    * *2:13:46** - Hooked!:* Greg hooks himself badly in the finger while fishing. The pain and potential nerve damage mean they need to leave their remote location to seek medical attention.
    * *2:16:21** Unexpected Filming:* The nurse at the clinic recognizes them from TV and is eager to film the hook removal process, bringing a touch of humor to a stressful situation.
    *The Triumphant Bow and a Generous Gift:*
    * *2:18:46** Back to Bushcraft:* They return from the medical visit undeterred, with Greg determined to show he can make a fire using a bow drill.
    * *2:26:43** Amos's Bow Completed:* After days of dedicated work, Amós completes his stunning hand-crafted bow. Greg is impressed by its craftsmanship and power.
    * *2:38:53** The Grouse & Coho:* In an epic moment of simultaneous success, Amós shoots a grouse with his bow just as Greg catches a coho salmon - surf and turf!
    * *2:41:23** Amos's Generosity:* Amos offers Greg his bow as a gift for inviting him on the trip, reflecting their newfound bond and respect for each other’s skills.
    *Last Days & Bow Drill Challenge:*
    * *2:58:06** Set Line Success!:* After many failed attempts, their set line finally catches a fish, proving the worth of this technique.
    * *2:59:01** Bow Drill Perseverance:* Despite exhaustion, Greg commits to starting a bow drill fire. After ten attempts, he achieves a glowing coal!
    * *3:01:37** Amos Achieves a Coal (Hand Drill):* Inspired by Greg, Amós starts a fire using a hand drill. Greg, impressed by his friend's skill and stamina, gives him the hand drill kit as a gesture of respect.
    * *3:03:48** Leaving the Island:* They bid farewell to the island, reflecting on their experiences. Greg acknowledges how much they relied on each other's skills for survival.
    This challenge emphasized teamwork, adaptability, and overcoming physical and mental exhaustion. Despite challenges with weather, wildlife, and fishing, Greg and Amos formed a lasting friendship and created lasting memories.

    The youtube algorithm brought me here 😁... I really enjoy camping and fishing and I usually watch to escape reality. I haven't been feeling well and under the weather and grieving the loss of my boyfriend who passed away last May.. I wasn't expecting to watch the entire video but it was so good I couldn't stop watching.. I'm actually sad its over! You guys make an awesome team just good vibes, sharing knowledge and the scenic shots were also awesome. I LOVE FIN 🥰 .. You've got yourself a new subscriber and I'm definitely gonna head over to Amos' channel and watch his point of view of the survival trip and give him a follow as well!
    Looking forward to more adventures from you two! Cheers and God bless ❤

    Greg, I have an Idea for something you can keep in your pack to use to make a fish net. The large hams or turkeys' have a plastic light weight mesh net which has a loop to hoist the meat around. It has a aluminum crimp at the loop, use pliers and remove it and you have the mesh netting to make a bush craft fishing net. Some are black or white maybe other colors I have saved several of them. You can use them to hold other camping items, maybe use to hang food off the ground away from critters or hungry dogs that like butter...🐕‍🦺🦝🦊🐻🦨 maybe make a fish trap or critter trap. Many uses for the net mesh. It will be cool to see what you come up with something worthy of the Rocky Mountain Bushcraft efforts.

I will do my best to focus on the good times, make sure his children are OK, and be here for my wife and kids as well. We lost our mom young, and he became my rock, never in a million years would I have thought this. Thanks again man.

    Greg, we know you have as much fishing knowledge as Amos-try matching his energy-your very close naturally, but your a bit more weighed down-and that is all history-be here now when you fish-be light and present just because it feels better. Love the dovetails and the moss headdress.
    Amos-what a delight to watch! You’re inner woodsman child comes out and tells us this is the way to live. You’re awesome!
    I hope you both become UA-cam Rich and I hope it lets you spend more time in the woods-not less-blessings to you both!

    It must have taken a ton of time and effort for you to put this together. I don’t recall seeing any ads. Are you not monetising this? I’d be happy to sit through a few ads for you. This kind of content is worthy of support.

    At first, I was expecting a real survival adventure. But it pand out to be not that in the real sense. Then, I could still not stop watching. There is something to be said about just being out there, enjoying nature and being grateful for the blessings it does provide when you put the work in. I guess the 30 day challenge and longer video is enjoyed by not only myself, but by a lot of other fans, no matter the format of how the "survival" theme is chosen to be presented. Keep it up guys, great job.
