  • Greg recalls an inspirational fishing story from his time in Patagonia on History's Alone Show.
    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.

    A couple months back I was swamped with spring bills. Taxes, insurance, license tags, dog food bill. I asked the Great Spirit to help me find peace with the situation I was facing. A couple days later a guy offered me a job. I have been working off and on with him ever since then. It has been getting those bills paid, and I have been learning things. I am grateful, and I need to remain grateful. My mom always said "God helps those who help themselves". I asked for peace and got so much more. If you believe, you just believe. There is no convincing anyone else what that experience is like, but when I was offered a solution I jumped on in and ran with it. Thanks for sharing.

    Great story! I'm homeless and live about half my time in the woods. During Covid, pickings were super slim in town and no work. Therefore, I was spending a ton of time in the woods. I went 5 days straight once and was really down, no fish and nothing in my traps. Sitting at the fire at the end of the day, I was half sobing half praying and a porcupine walked into camp. That night I wept!
    2 days after that I got a call to help pack up a house. Not only did I get $200 they gave me all the groceries. It took 2 trips to get it to my camp.

    Hi Greg, you've experienced what I call the 6-7-8 cycle. 6 is natural man, 7 is the ability to sense the presence of God, and 8 is a transformation that cannot easily be extinguished. So you have a beautiful memory, and had the guts to share it: bravo. Fran

    TRUE STORY; My wife and I went fishing one time several years ago and before we started, we asked the Lord for 5 fish. All day we fished and only got one bite on the hook. As the sun was setting, dejected I told my wife, “Well, I guess we got skunked”. Moments later, I hear someone behind us walking down the wooded dock towards us. This stranger from nowhere asks us, “Hey, would you like some fish?” I looked at her, I looked at the fish . . . and wouldn’t you know it . . . She had 5 nice sized Northern Pike on a stringer! We were stunned! After greatfully accepting the fish, I ask the Lord why He answered our prayer that way . . . clear as a bell I heard in my heart, “You didn’t ask to catch the fish!”. Absolutely true story! From then on we pray very specifically!

      @lancesudberry209 I'm not a Christian, or a jew neither. Religions are idolatry.
      It's about relationship, not religion.
      The Cherokees are descendants of some of the 12 tribes in my opinion. Way closer to the original design.
      I hope our Father bless your ways 👊🏽
