@Lcyer I agree, but also think you are using a Space Shuttles, SLS, RS 25 engine algorithm because I always exceed the 100% because those engines can throttle up to 113 percent?
Love this guy, he is so down to earth and humble. Hes not like the others on UA-cam showing off all there fancy gear and kit ect. You could see him feeling a little embarrassed spending 1000 on the mosquito thing. Youve earned it treat yourself brother. Its just him in a t shirt n jeans with his dog and a lifetime of knowledge. Love watching it ❤❤
@@ShreddHead6505 I guarantee if I went into your personal life and polled the 4 people involved there would STILL be more folks who consider you a nuisance than the number of people who share this thought with you.
Great video. Welcome to life in a tipi. One recommendation if I may would be to use your inner liner. This is an important part of your lodge for a couple of reasons. With your lodge set up with a gap in the bottom, this creates a space where air can pass freely underneath. With the liner, it creates a dead air space between the cover and the liner allowing the air to travel upwards to the smoke hole. If you are building a fire inside, this creates a chimney effect where the air moving between the cover and liner will draw the smoke up and out. This will make for more comfortable sleeping, especially at night when you fall asleep and the fire burns down and becomes a bit more smoky. Secondly, it helps keep the lodge cooler in the warmer months by moving the hot air up and out of the lodge. Last but certainly not least, is that it creates what is called a "modesty cover." When you have a fire lit, or other lights inside the lodge, you backlight yourself and everyone outside can see you moving around inside. By having this installed, it will give you a bit more privacy. Keep practicing setting up and tearing down your lodge. When my wife and I got ours years ago, it took us several hours to set up the first time. Now I can set it up by myself in under 45 minutes. One last recommendation would be to pick up a copy of "The Indian Tipi" It's History, Construction and Use" by Reginald and Gladys Laubin. This book is considered to be the bible by many if you are going to spend any time using this amazing piece of equipment.
Inner lining is called a dew cloth for a reason, Dew will consternate on the inside of your outer cover and then run down and out at the bottom of your tipi. and not drip down all over you and your bedding. And as stated it will give you a smoke draw for your smoke hole, If you keep your flap set properly, away from the wind.
I welcome anybody to use these technologies if they learn to. Though so much of my ancestors knowledge is lost, it's good to know some that still exists can be helpful to people
I lived in one about this size for a year. We moved to different spots 5 days a week. We got ridiculously good at setting up the teepees. Helps to have a bunch of hands for sure. Went from Erie PA to Tallahassee FL on the East side of the Appalachians and came back to Erie up the West side. 50 of us living in 6 teepees traveling by horse/mule drawn wagons.
@@ms-gb4cj This was Kodak times. Early 90s. Just Google Vision Quest Wagon Trains. It was a youth rehab program for violent offenders. Yeah, crazy concept huh? It was as wild as you could imagine. I was staff. All of us were ex military, bull riders, athlete types. It got physical every day! I look back and can't believe it even was a thing.
@dherman0001 that sounds like it was amazing. Bet you had so much fun. I’ve almost got my Quigley 4x4 van, completely converted and ready to go do the same exact thing. Going to travel the country for a year, maybe longer, and check off as many items on my bucket list as possible. I live in northeast Ohio and purchased the van from someone who worked for a news crew in the Sierra Nevada Foothills. They would drive it around the mountains and look out for/report on forest fires. I’ve been racking my brain on what kind of shelter I want to use for the times when I have nice decent weather, and can sleep outside instead of inside the van. I would absolutely love to do it in a teepee, but being single, and by myself it’s just not feasible that I could easily put something like that up every other day or so. Sure sounds like a blast though and I would surely love to do it… envious!!
Greg has transformed into such an awesome character over the past couple of years. Admittedly, I didnt have much hope watching him with Zach, as he was uncomfortable on camera, but MAN has he blossomed into something that every outdoor enthusiast would LOVE to watch. Such a pleasant surprise and you deserve every bit of exposure and attention, as you've worked your butt off for many years to obtain the knowledge you have.
Amazing, well done. 44:20 I got a farmer who set up a shop like that in a barn. You can grab Milk, Eggs, cheese, Marmelade, Honey, depending on the season all kinds of vegetables and fruits, potatoes, onions etc. He set it up with 3 other farmer's and locals, plus a dude who got some green house. Open up from Monday to Sunday (living in Germany, normal stores are closed on Sundays) and it's amazing. Walk in, grab what you need, weigh it, pay it, leave. Also based on the honor system.
Finn must be the happiest dog all over the world. So Beautiful to see you both on your adventures! And the way you built the Tipi was amazing-awesome-incredible! Sending my respect and love to both of you from Germany! Take care! Be safe! Always!
Well done! Can't say that teepee construction is one of my skills, but once in Ontario I helped putting up one. It was in 2000. I was on my first of many long sea kayak voyages. That one had me paddling from Duluth to New Jersey, by way of Montreal. I'd stopped at Wawa, on the North shore of Superior. There was an outdoor center there with lots of instructors, half my age at the time. One was putting up her teepee with the help of others, so I joined in. It went up relatively quickly, but there were 6 of us, and some knew the process. Can't imagine the challange presented by putting one up, all alone, without prior experience. But hey, now I can. Just watched your video. Kudos to Colorado Yurt company! Looks like a real step up.
I just love Greg and was cheering for him getting that wonderful teepee put up alone-story of my life-people not showing up and having to just suck it up, figure it out, and grunt through it! God bless you Greg!!! I’d learn SO much just camping for a couple days with you. On the cleaning of stainless steel-cheap and effective solution is Bar Keepers Friend. Active ingredient is oxalic acid-works like a champ with just a scrubbing sponge.
ive been watching Greg’s videos for a good while, one of my favourite youtubers. this video was cool to see me and my cousins were taught how to make our Ojibwe style wigwams and tipis when we were younger. we’d go out on adventures and have great memories so this meant a lot to me. Man I appreciate all the videos you put out for us. this guy is genuine you don’t see this often now a days. thank you Greg for the adventures you bring us on. miigwech ogichidaa 🤝(thank you in Anishinaabe).
1. We just wacked them- the freshly felled trees) with the back side of the hatchet along the length which ...using the steel for leverage, seperated the bark quite easily. Then we tied them tight and let them season and dry out by putting them in our creek for 6months. Yes, I said dry out IN water. Kept them un-split, straight as, and was a good thing to do. Patience is way more than just a virtue. I lived in that 18' tipi for over a year out in the bush (Australia). I had put a socket outlet onto the side of my toyota landrover wired tk the battery, and when I got in at nicht, I had a lead outside the tipi with a plug on one end, and a LED light inside the tipi with a switch next to my bed, with an inline resistor too. Worked a treat when I still needed to make my fire and cook dinner after dark. Second best year of my life... every morning first thing putting my feet on the bare earth was about as good as anything Ive ever experienced. amen sista.❤
First best year? Living with Yolngu in Arnhemland, learning to laugh again, seeing nature and ritual in a whole new way, going hunting for wild honey or tree bark, and being taught things I could never know without the patience, good humour and knowledge of a people more honest and genuinely good spirited, than any Ive ever come across. I will forever owe them a debt of gratitude. ❤❤
I have zero desire to put a tipi up. This just popped up on my home page and I just clicked it what the heck. I have been quite entertained and glad I clicked it. I still have zero desire to put a tipi up but I like this man. He has intestinal fortitude.
For 18 months i lived in a tent with my 3 dogs ( a Bell tent) I left Spain 9 months ago for Sweden. I miss my tent and the life of freedom you get out there. Now, when i saw your film..... thanks to you i have just decided, im going back to the nature and the freedom of living in a tent. Saving some money for a new tent and all the stuff i need to start from the beginning and by next spring its time.
This was the women's job, She put it up, made the beds, took it down, packed it up, cooked the food. Men made war, and hunted, Then set around the fire and beat their tom-toms.!!!!. "What a life"!!!!
Greg you are my hero. I was addicted to drugs and alcohol for tne years and ur vids help save me, furever thakful for yuojr contant. Love From Glasgow, Scotland. . . . Or how u Yanks say. Skatlin. Respec and love always.
Because you show your struggles is one of the main reasons I watch your videos. You show what it takes to get over those struggles which is the most important thing I take from your videos. My problem is I stay in Coral Springs Florida which is just 50 miles or so from Miami Florida so I don't have to worry about freezing but I do have to worry about heat exhaustion.
Like ur vids much, I did want 2 give u a better way of puttin' up ur tee-pee polls tho jf there z only one person puttin' up the polls. Dig a hole about the size of a shovel all the way around place one end of pole n hole walk poll up 2 a straight up rite position, u can carry it standin' straight up easier than I mite think. And simply place poll where u want. Hope this helps. Does seem 2 work 4 me 'n i'm a girl so happy bushin' it.☺️🌹
Hello, I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy watching you and Finn on your adventures. It's cool to come across someone so down to earth on UA-cam. Thanks for sharing with us!👍😊
Nice.... Finn is awesome... man's best freind for sure.. remind me of myself alot gregg.. my Boy Tank & I do everything together too.. I don't watch much TV myself. I can watch UA-cam on my phone here & there, good enough for me.... 😊
My mouth was watering looking at your lobster/crab/steak dinner. That is as good as it gets! I am grateful for the tutorial on erecting a teepee. It dawns on me that one could build a lower teepee in height so that maybe a woman could build one. Many thanks! Stay safe and love to Finn, and you, of course, too.
I had friends 40 years ago that lived for years in a tipi in Wyoming . If you can survive -20 below zero temps (or colder) and FEET of snow in a tipi you are doing something special.
The tee pee turned out perfect my friend...you can tell all you need to know about someone by the way they treat their dog, and how their acts towards them, imo Ole Finland Greg are both good fellers. Living the Life Indeed!
27:03 You remind me so much of my brother Marty. Luckily, I introduced him to your channel before he became a Freebird. He enjoyed your adventures. When I miss him, I watch any one of your videos. There's always hi-jinks just like my brother. Like you, he always figured it out and kept going. Thank you! 💛❤️💛
I gotta say brother, it's obvious your not a young man, but your drive and determination, and work ethic (doing all this when the help didn't show) is really something! You could outwork most men 1/3 your age (especially this video game city generation). Much respect man, most guys would have waited for the help if it took a week! 😂
If there were ever a chance for a company to sponsor a pick up for someone, it would be now and Ford. That little pickup you have is holding up hard. Hands down your best series since the Rocky Mountain survival challenge. Can’t wait for the next one.
I love this video every time I see it. I put up a teepee with 20 ft poles when I was twenty some years younger and a longhouse shaped teepee (it was big) while i was living off grid on 4 acres another time. I am 75 now and I want to put up another one to use as a green house this winter if I can,---with help this time! This old grandma wants to build a small rocket mass stove in her teepee to save some of my food plants if i can. Thanks for sharing your adventures.
Loved watching this! My Uncle spent every summer and fall in an authentic teepee, I spent many days inside visiting him but had no idea how much work went into setting it up. ALL of his equipment, bedding, decor, clothing etc was hand crafted from hides, shells, beads, stone, wood, wool, etc. NOTHING he had other than his knife/hatchet, first aid kit, cooking pan, oil lantern and coffee mug were mass produced. The first aid kit was honestly there just for back up b/c he made his own "medicines/salves" that he learned from generations past.
As a kid I always played making tents in the back yard, even slept out in them during the summers. I'd dream of deep forest tent camping. When I became a Boy Scout I looked forward to going to a Boy Scout camp where our troop would at least spend a week. However I had some means of making money to stay out at scout camp for the whole month as a provisional scout all the while the whole time was in a tent on a wooden platform. I loved it. Having a huge interest in history I ended up with a center pole 12' x12' marquee white Egyptian cotton tent, with a stove jack and roof vent... I quit a hunting camp that I was involved with to hunt/vacation in my tent. People ask a lot of question when the see my set up. Some ask what do I do when it rains....answer is always, get real lazy.. it doesn't leak... I enjoy the every day activities you must do to take care of the camp and yourself. People ask to come in and are surprised. I have no plastic amenities, just handmade furnishings/accommodations that fold up. Cook box that doubles with counter space door. Mounted on a parameter pole (no bending at all), pack up wooden bed, chairs, table alike. The candle boxes for evening light give of the glow of a peaceful evening, winter, spring, summer or fall. Fact is spring turkey season is here and the remote permit is applied for. Still will be packing the wood stove as evenings in early May are cold. During the day is when the roof vent comes in handy.. Summer time the entire length of one side I hang netting up for a more out door experience... Haven't missed a season ever since...
As a long term subby I actually watched your TV Frozen adventure. Don't let yourself down you were sopping wet and not catching anything. Stuff happens but you giving Fin a whole steak just shows you love him. Keep up the awesome content.
You gotta love Greg. This man does it, and he does it right. The absolute real deal. And to think that a civilization once lived, thrived this way. Man what I wouldn’t give to just go back in time and talk to these people for a few days. Just imagine the knowledge one would gain!!
39:51 I love that Finn gets fed so well, Greg! I would like to say though, make sure you never give him bones that have been cooked. Raw bones are fine, but when they are cooked they become hard and brittle and splinter easily. This can cause choking as well as perforated innards.
I absolutely loved this video! You are a true man who did not give up, who found other ways to achieve success with erecting & covering the teepee , mostly on your own! Wow and 👏 well done Greg! I look forward to seeing more. Finn indeed eats better than most of us 😁 that dog is loved .
I would’ve flown across the states to help you! Such an inspiration and full of wisdom and happiness , watching you is pure joy, thank you so much, you’ve touched many hearts
1:58 "They also, like I say.. well.. I didn't say it yet.." I don't know if you are doing it on purpose but you crack me up in some of these videos. My kids and I watch your videos. Thanks!
thank you Greg - you are outstanding and i don't mean out standing in left field lol you and amos are on the top of my list in what to watch and would love to see more video of both of you camping together again. loved it
As a Canadian, I approve this guy is a real Canadian. People in the states seem to think because we have a communist dictator in office that we are all stupid up here in Canada. Majority of us are good old boys just like this man.
Awesome job Greg. Your hard work paid off. Sorry you didn't get help like you were supposed to. You're a good guy and people should help you when they say they will. Keep making great videos. Thanks for them. 👍
I just found your awesome channel and I am super glad I did! Finnley is adorable and it's wonderful you gave him that huge ribeye! I imagine he is super happy! You did a great job putting the teepee together, it sure looked difficult for one person! I look forward to watching you more! Xoxo! ❤
For the rock toss… you want to have a lighter weight heaving line to toss it, attached to your heavy line for the actual lifting, sort of like fishing electrical wires through walls. Epic tent, awesome editing, and a great video. Normally I don’t watch “really long” 1+hr videos, but this was worth every minute!
Stumbled across your channel, absolutely loved this and your determination. I’ll definitely be catching up on your vids. And yes the winter vibes will be amazing in that teepee!! Take care. 🏕️
It's funny how we humans can laugh at another man's struggle; I think it's because we can all relate, or identify. You make me laugh out loud every video Greg!❤✌🤙
This is my first time watching your videos. I love how you show not only your successful points but also your struggles. You show us reality of survival. Positive n negative. A lot of videos only show the easy stuff. Love your video. I love camping n outdoors.
I watched you on ALONE and wondered where you ever ended up. was just looking through you tube and found your site, I enjoyed your video of putting the teepee up. You are very funny and dont pretend to know everything and things go wrong along the way but you just keep plugging along. Love your attitude. Glad I found your site. Keep on Keeping on.
Little tip for the TV. I've been doing this for a few years in my yard with a bell tent. Newer flatscreens are a lot more power efficient. I can get one to run for about 10 hours on one of those small power stations. Somehow does good with the humidity, and it's bad here for that.
Wow. What stamina. I've done this on a 24 ft teepee as well and even cut and sewed my fabric over it. A lot of work. It was fun but not sure I'd do it a second time. Thanks for sharing. It was down to earth fun watching you.
I give this Man 110% of my respect❤
ahoo warrior
indeed
@Lcyer
I agree, but also think you are using a Space Shuttles, SLS, RS 25 engine algorithm because I always exceed the 100% because those engines can throttle up to 113 percent?
Yeah, I don't think he needs your respect.
Was he on alone?
That dog is so happy!! Just chillin with his human!
I absolutely love Finn. What a great dog
Where there's a will there's a way😊
You are amazing Greg.
He's absolutely amazing! This world should be blessed with his presence. So kind and caring. One of the best teachers and sharers of knowledge.
Love this guy, he is so down to earth and humble. Hes not like the others on UA-cam showing off all there fancy gear and kit ect. You could see him feeling a little embarrassed spending 1000 on the mosquito thing. Youve earned it treat yourself brother. Its just him in a t shirt n jeans with his dog and a lifetime of knowledge. Love watching it ❤❤
Spot on. Greg is a good dude!
This is better than a Netflix special.
Thank you Greg and friends!
I love how he says "please" to Finn. So precious and shows what a gentle person Mr. Ovens really is.
Shows what a good boy Mr Finn is too. He should have called the video: A Tale about a Tall Tipi and Finns Tail.
A man's character can be judged by how well he treats animals and those less fortunate. He's an old soul, a Godly soul.
That dog is a nuisance
@@ShreddHead6505You're a nuisance. That dog is worth 1000 of you
@@ShreddHead6505 I guarantee if I went into your personal life and polled the 4 people involved there would STILL be more folks who consider you a nuisance than the number of people who share this thought with you.
im impressed you hoisted all that lumber up that high by yourself
Dogs are really man’s best friend nice to have your buddy with you
What's really amazing is he did this all by himself.
For all that just to see you interact with Finn is what made this video the best ❤
I watch his videos to see the dog too
Most patient man I've ever seen . Amazing !

And simply place poll where u want. Hope this helps. Does seem 2 work 4 me 'n i'm a girl so happy bushin' it.☺️🌹
I love the way you feed Finly good like you do because I'm the same way when it comes to feeding my dog I give him what ever I eat. There family.
I love how you never give up Greg a true bushman thank you for sharing it all with us much love to you and Finn
Greg-if I could have just one of your traits it would be you patience. Amazing video.
Hello, I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy watching you and Finn on your adventures. It's cool to come across someone so down to earth on UA-cam. Thanks for sharing with us!👍😊
Nice.... Finn is awesome... man's best freind for sure.. remind me of myself alot gregg.. my Boy Tank & I do everything together too.. I don't watch much TV myself. I can watch UA-cam on my phone here & there, good enough for me.... 😊
My mouth was watering looking at your lobster/crab/steak dinner. That is as good as it gets! I am grateful for the tutorial on erecting a teepee. It dawns on me that one could build a lower teepee in height so that maybe a woman could build one. Many thanks! Stay safe and love to Finn, and you, of course, too.
I had friends 40 years ago that lived for years in a tipi in Wyoming . If you can survive -20 below zero temps (or colder) and FEET of snow in a tipi you are doing something special.
Really respect the "can do" attitude. This dude is F'n awesome.
The tee pee turned out perfect my friend...you can tell all you need to know about someone by the way they treat their dog, and how their acts towards them, imo Ole Finland Greg are both good fellers. Living the Life Indeed!
An absolute pleasure to watch. You are incredibly resourceful and Finn is lovely.
27:03 You remind me so much of my brother Marty. Luckily, I introduced him to your channel before he became a Freebird. He enjoyed your adventures.
When I miss him, I watch any one of your videos. There's always hi-jinks just like my brother. Like you, he always figured it out and kept going.
Thank you! 💛❤️💛
This guy is the poster child for "Get er Done" love this man!!!
you're the best, Ovens. you fill my heart with joy and pride. One awesome canuck.
I gotta say brother, it's obvious your not a young man, but your drive and determination, and work ethic (doing all this when the help didn't show) is really something! You could outwork most men 1/3 your age (especially this video game city generation). Much respect man, most guys would have waited for the help if it took a week! 😂
If there were ever a chance for a company to sponsor a pick up for someone, it would be now and Ford. That little pickup you have is holding up hard. Hands down your best series since the Rocky Mountain survival challenge. Can’t wait for the next one.
I’ve really enjoyed watching your video. Thank you for sharing ❤️🙏🏻💯🕊🌈
I just found your channel! I am amazed you were able to put up this Tipi alone!!! Great ingenuity and problem solving!!! Well done!
I love this video every time I see it. I put up a teepee with 20 ft poles when I was twenty some years younger and a longhouse shaped teepee (it was big) while i was living off grid on 4 acres another time. I am 75 now and I want to put up another one to use as a green house this winter if I can,---with help this time! This old grandma wants to build a small rocket mass stove in her teepee to save some of my food plants if i can. Thanks for sharing your adventures.
Thank you so much. I learned a lot from watching you. You are a great teacher.
OMG watching you do this on your own i was screaming you can do it at my computer YOU ARE A LEGEND
Loved watching this! My Uncle spent every summer and fall in an authentic teepee, I spent many days inside visiting him but had no idea how much work went into setting it up. ALL of his equipment, bedding, decor, clothing etc was hand crafted from hides, shells, beads, stone, wood, wool, etc. NOTHING he had other than his knife/hatchet, first aid kit, cooking pan, oil lantern and coffee mug were mass produced. The first aid kit was honestly there just for back up b/c he made his own "medicines/salves" that he learned from generations past.
Looking forward to this always a good learning experience with Greg a Finn.
Finn is the dog. He can't teach you anything.
We can learn loyalty from Finn.something to many humans have lost.
@@GJCAMPING if your taking life lessons from a dog there's something wrong with you sorry

Dude ur livin like a king! Awesome life bro. Glad to see u kickin butt out there
Love your videos Greg and Finn! Keep ‘em coming 😊
As a kid I always played making tents in the back yard, even slept out in them during the summers.
I'd dream of deep forest tent camping.
When I became a Boy Scout I looked forward to going to a Boy Scout camp where our troop would at least spend a week. However I had some means of making money to stay out at scout camp for the whole month as a provisional scout all the while the whole time was in a tent on a wooden platform. I loved it.
Having a huge interest in history I ended up with a center pole 12' x12' marquee white Egyptian cotton tent, with a stove jack and roof vent... I quit a hunting camp that I was involved with to hunt/vacation in my tent.
People ask a lot of question when the see my set up. Some ask what do I do when it rains....answer is always, get real lazy.. it doesn't leak...
I enjoy the every day activities you must do to take care of the camp and yourself.
People ask to come in and are surprised. I have no plastic amenities, just handmade furnishings/accommodations that fold up.
Cook box that doubles with counter space door. Mounted on a parameter pole (no bending at all), pack up wooden bed, chairs, table alike.
The candle boxes for evening light give of the glow of a peaceful evening, winter, spring, summer or fall.
Fact is spring turkey season is here and the remote permit is applied for.
Still will be packing the wood stove as evenings in early May are cold. During the day is when the roof vent comes in handy..
Summer time the entire length of one side I hang netting up for a more out door experience...
Haven't missed a season ever since...
As a long term subby I actually watched your TV Frozen adventure. Don't let yourself down you were sopping wet and not catching anything. Stuff happens but you giving Fin a whole steak just shows you love him. Keep up the awesome content.
You gotta love Greg. This man does it, and he does it right. The absolute real deal. And to think that a civilization once lived, thrived this way. Man what I wouldn’t give to just go back in time and talk to these people for a few days. Just imagine the knowledge one would gain!!
Really great job, brother! I especially admire your resiliance in the face of some pretty aggravating adversity!🔥👍🏻👊🏻
39:51 I love that Finn gets fed so well, Greg! I would like to say though, make sure you never give him bones that have been cooked. Raw bones are fine, but when they are cooked they become hard and brittle and splinter easily. This can cause choking as well as perforated innards.
I absolutely loved this video! You are a true man who did not give up, who found other ways to achieve success with erecting & covering the teepee , mostly on your own! Wow and 👏 well done Greg! I look forward to seeing more. Finn indeed eats better than most of us 😁 that dog is loved .
He definitely be the guy that invented the wheel in the Stone Age days, you got my subscribe. Thanks for the contact Brother.
I would’ve flown across the states to help you! Such an inspiration and full of wisdom and happiness , watching you is pure joy, thank you so much, you’ve touched many hearts
1:58 "They also, like I say.. well.. I didn't say it yet.." I don't know if you are doing it on purpose but you crack me up in some of these videos. My kids and I watch your videos. Thanks!
thank you Greg - you are outstanding and i don't mean out standing in left field lol you and amos are on the top of my list in what to watch and would love to see more video of both of you camping together again. loved it
Here, Here!! Cheers!
You and Finn just made my night thanks Greg
As a Canadian, I approve this guy is a real Canadian. People in the states seem to think because we have a communist dictator in office that we are all stupid up here in Canada. Majority of us are good old boys just like this man.
Colorado Yurt. I’ll remember that. Very generous.
Awesome job Greg. Your hard work paid off. Sorry you didn't get help like you were supposed to. You're a good guy and people should help you when they say they will. Keep making great videos. Thanks for them. 👍
Watching this on my 57th birthday and I admit it’s been the favorite part of my day so far. I’m kinda jealous really, great job! 💜
Good one Greg, the Tipi is awesome! Keep em coming and Thanks for the Adventure!!
Never would have thought to cook trout that way in a cup. Will have to try it.
Man what hard work! You are amazing!
I can hit the like button without watching the video first. Greg's content is always useful and definitely entertaining!
I just found your awesome channel and I am super glad I did! Finnley is adorable and it's wonderful you gave him that huge ribeye! I imagine he is super happy! You did a great job putting the teepee together, it sure looked difficult for one person! I look forward to watching you more! Xoxo! ❤
you are great and you make others greater, thanks a lot and have a nice day day.
Love your videos Greg ❤
For the rock toss… you want to have a lighter weight heaving line to toss it, attached to your heavy line for the actual lifting, sort of like fishing electrical wires through walls. Epic tent, awesome editing, and a great video. Normally I don’t watch “really long” 1+hr videos, but this was worth every minute!
I grew up near Bailey Colorado. Love the Rockies!
Stumbled across your channel, absolutely loved this and your determination. I’ll definitely be catching up on your vids. And yes the winter vibes will be amazing in that teepee!! Take care. 🏕️
It's nice to see someone get a break. You truly deserve it. Thanks for the show.
It's funny how we humans can laugh at another man's struggle; I think it's because we can all relate, or identify. You make me laugh out loud every video Greg!❤✌🤙
Great videos always from you,Greg. I’m a little too old but would love to do the camping you do. It’s relaxing to watch.
Love how authentic you are in all of your vids, Ovens. Always learn something new whenever I watch!
That's why indians got so angry to removes from their places.Such a hard work man.!
🤣🤣🤘🏼🤘🏼

I just discovered Greg and Finn ❤ My favorite duo by far. Super genuine and skillful.
Great TeePee! The perseverance is very inspiring, but the best part is the partnership of man & dog!!
Loved the video. Your living the good life.
This is my first time watching your videos. I love how you show not only your successful points but also your struggles. You show us reality of survival. Positive n negative. A lot of videos only show the easy stuff. Love your video. I love camping n outdoors.
I watched you on ALONE and wondered where you ever ended up. was just looking through you tube and found your site, I enjoyed your video of putting the teepee up. You are very funny and dont pretend to know everything and things go wrong along the way but you just keep plugging along. Love your attitude. Glad I found your site. Keep on Keeping on.
Can't get enough of your videos man. The city got to me for a few years and slowly getting back to my old ways. This is very grounding for me.
Little tip for the TV. I've been doing this for a few years in my yard with a bell tent. Newer flatscreens are a lot more power efficient. I can get one to run for about 10 hours on one of those small power stations. Somehow does good with the humidity, and it's bad here for that.
Thanks!
He's so relaxing to watch I love people who just be themselves and enjoy nature.😊
Wow. What stamina. I've done this on a 24 ft teepee as well and even cut and sewed my fabric over it. A lot of work. It was fun but not sure I'd do it a second time. Thanks for sharing. It was down to earth fun watching you.
