      Not sure if you know but southeastern Oklahoma is gorgeous and you can take some of these skills and have a great time! Not as beautiful as Vancouver Island but for being close, it does the job!

    I think I can count on my fingers The amount of really decent genuine stuff on utube lately, and Greg’s footage hits the spot every time.
    Greg the women must be lining up to spend some time out there with such a great dude, and any woman who is prepared to live in a tree is a keeper for me.

    Don't be shy. You're beautiful! What a great vid :) I love seeing Fin make sure your fan makes it under the tree (15:23). You should do fan-based outings :) Imagine a group of 5 or 7 of your fans having a great camping excursion :) The more the merrier. I love the hollowed area of tree roots where your friend said she could live there, make a home out of those tree hollows. What a great looking place! I can see it, can imagine it :)

    Hey there Greg, love the video thanks for that, it really shows your dedication to your fans, we appreciate that. Your tips on different ways to starting a fire works great, car battery though... Old thing barely lights up a bulb. But anyway, I found a "science fire" fire starter, it's a well known mix so if someone by some chance keeps it in their pouch while on a trip, a small mound of potassium permanganate and literally one drop of glycerine in the center like when you're mixing flour and eggs sparks up a small flame. Not the most natural way, but does the trick none the less, you light up a few twigs and just move it to your fire log tower, a fun way to make BBQ for your friends.
    But once again love the videos, hope to see more great content. Greetings from South Africa. 💪🎣

    aloha Greg. I'm a young ranger and I can't live without the smell of a campfire and the scenery of my native archipelago. I am a resident of the city of Vanino in Russia. the conditions here are the same as in Alaska, salmon, deer, and most importantly, bears, there are very, very many of them here. tell me how to calm my mom down so she's not afraid to let her son go to the mountains. thanks for earlier.

    Hey Greg! It’s Thursday evening about 9:30 pm pacific standard time and I’m doing my usual scrolling through the UA-cam feed and your video popped up, it’s an older one but somehow I’ve missed it. I’d like to let you know that what you do is meaningful, it has purpose and you’ve already accomplished a lot. You’re calm attitude is good for a lot of people who would typically be frantic trying to survive in the wild, it’s good to see that a human can live and be happy without all the modern things we have. I love your channel and I love what you do, I just wish we were buddies and could have a good time together

    That's funny all you did was eat my fish at my house, we had Mackerel, but that is not my favourite fish. I like dogfish also called catshark ( Scyliorhinus canicula uk South West British Isles) it is an extremely unfussy scavenger, eats pretty much anything if it can find. Worms, prawns, shellfish, crabs and fish, it hunts down. That is why it tastes so good .. Great show Greg...

    Hi Greg. First I love watching your videos. You’re a true survivor man.
    Have you worked for TLC or Labour Unlimited? I swear maybe 15 years or 17 or 19 years back, I can’t exactly remember, you worked for me on a site either in Vancouver or Victoria, but I think Vancouver like The Max or Sterling or theme of a couple of others who worked on.
    I was with Ledcor and ITC. I just somehow recall a fella younger who said that’s what I like about you Shane. You just say it straight. Something like that.
    I heard you say something similar in a video with maybe Amos or Zackery and for some reason it sparked a distant memory. Maybe I’m totally wrong, but I have to ask. 😊
