A Day OFF in the Life of a Rocky Mountain Bushman

- Опубліковано 29 вер 2024
- Greg takes a step back from his normal routine and goes glamping with his dog fin. See how a Canadian bushman, Greg, relaxes in the bush.
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.

Geez Greg I'm worn out just watching you relax
This is the best comedy substitute on U tube... the guys in the office must laugh endlessly...Pure Gold!!!
You were supposed to take it easy says the man dragging logs 😂..those crabs looked delicious!!
Nice looking truck 🙂 Glad to see the winch working out and the Ranger back on the road!
Wow Greg you wernt lying when you said metal to metal 😂
Just Greg being Greg doing Greg things, loving it!
I believe you have Greg's number 😅
Don't put your head under the truck...lol
Thanks for all your videos Greg
Man after my own heart. There is always a way. I love it, bought all the conveniences. Except, the jack, the chain saw, the battery operated power tools. Yup sounds like me. Great video Greg......on your day off. 😁😁
Have you ever thought of cooking the crabs in the coals or just on the grill I do my crayfish like that and they're really good so I think crabs would be just as good gives a very different flavour to boil
Ok Greg you got the job done congrats get an inflatable jack please they are cheap enough . Less than replacing a grill of a truck.
Rockymountain crabs yummie😂
Mr Ovens
I can not thank you enough for the joy you have given my heart and soul whilst my body is still recovering from a terrible leg injury.
Watching you is just wonderful when one can not get out and about.
Never change.
Love to you and Finn from a lady of 50 in the 🇬🇧
God blessed us with you and may the world bless you darling.

Kindest thanks Greg
Michelle
speedy recovery!
You speak with such love. Much respect from the west coast of 🇨🇦
Feel better soon Michelle. 💞from Canada
Greg and Amos got me through a hard time last year when I was bedridden. I hope he knows he's much apricated.
Prayers for Michelle. Be Well Soon. Best wishes from South Carolina, USA.
When society as we know it collapses, it's men like Greg that will adapt and survive 💪
I've had some rugged camping, meaning being cold and damp, but I always had fire and food. What I've learned from you are ways to better prepare for cold and rain as well as some foraging skills. I still don't feel prepared to survive on my own due to my age and lack of strength (just over 5 foot tall and almost age 70), but with help and luck, I'm pretty sure I could survive thanks to you.
Grab yourself a couple of 5 or 6 ton Snatchblocks. They will double the pull strength of your winch and it won't have to work as hard. I use a snatchblock and a tree saver strap and they work like a hot damn!
ill say it again, if I was glamping alone I would want Greg with me oh and Finn. Best wishes UK
No such thing as glamping. You are just living outside. There is no glamour unless you are wealthy. Ive been on the road a year now. Its not all its cracked up to be. I promise you. There are great moments but there are more hard times, for sure .
If you aren’t out there for the love of the work then just get an apartment and a job. No it’s not glamorous, but staying outside for extended periods of time can be deeply satisfying. Key is to stay clean, bath often, wash your clothing often, and be productive, there is no rest in the bush unless your just visiting from town. You got to love it.
@@wilbertwallace6655I hunt camp and fish in the deep bush lots, just because I’m visiting from my house doesn’t mean that I haven’t forgotten more about living in the bush than all the guys that do it because they don’t want to get a job.
And yes no such thing as glamping, your not camping at all if you pull a house and power out to a very public and easy to access maintained camp site.
Glamping…a form of camping involving accommodation and facilities more luxurious than those associated with traditional camping
This was very interesting Greg. Stay safe, and keep bringing us videos. I always learn something.
What you learn on this one?
How to destroy your truck to have a fire?😅😅😅
I love greg but C mon. He needs to think things out a bit more...
@@survivewithjon Hello. Thank you for the opportunity to qualify my comment. I learned how to cook crab. I learned how Greg used the winch on the front of his truck. I learned the difference between disk brakes and drum brakes. Have a nice weekend.
Snow was beautiful. Fin looked like he enjoyed his steak. Awesome vid. Maybe I'll try doing my own brakes next time. 👍💚
I know he enjoyed it. After he finished, he sat there looking over at Greg as if to say, "Hey! I love you man!". LOL
Your idea of a day off is much different than mine. I sure in the heck wouldn’t be changing brake pads or thinking about how I left my chainsaw at home to cut firewood… Haha!!
You Rock Bro! ☀️🌎☀️
Nothing’s impossible for Greg Ovens
You’re so 😎, love Finn so much.
I love how you make it like you’re on your weekend this time and taking it easy. This one’s a day off from roughing it.🤣 dude, always at it🤣🐸🍺🔪🔥
Looking forward to your Glamping with Fin, maybe some steak on the fire and baked potato in the coals.
I don't know a lot about camping survival but I would feel safe with you
😣 awwwe man. Bummed you crushed the front end
Hook your winch cable at the end of the log rather than the middle. Use leverage to your advantage
Every like this gets I will do 1 pushup
Lumberjacking up the vehicle is a good wilderness technique for removing the tires.
Really like the truck greg, I hope it goes good for you man
Would you be able to to a trapping series again, like 7 days in the bush trapping and hunting also -different types of fishing traps!?!? Best regards from the u.k 👍😎
Greg, we always STEAMED THE CRABS, BOILING TAKES AWAY THE FLAVOR. If you clean them first but steam them, the flavor actually gets into the meat better (old bay, that is)
True but boiling them you can use the stock for soup or Ramen
its great Zacs helping him with the video editing,makes all the difference, Gregs a nice guy he deserves a break, love and contentment from Liverpool UK,xx breaking firewood with a winch only you would think thats a good idea, we know the truth, you just want a excuse to play with your new toy, its very sweet seeing the enjoyment your getting,,xxxx
you needed narrower trees. you wedge the log between the trees, and put the cable on one of the outside ends. you get a fulcrum bonus. would take a fraction of the energy required. if i remember i'll make a quick demo video tomorrow and post it.
headed into deep bc myself right away with squeaky brakes....fingers crossed greg , seem to always make it out alive
nothing gets better than winching your truck to change the breaks love it!
Good to know how to do it yourself changing out disc brakes. Now I am thinking about having crab & steak yum. First time seeing Finn sit still for awhile waiting for his steak dinner 😅 I would too! ❤ your show.
I found this video pretty interesting pretty entertaining I like this day in the life of a regular old Greg ovens Bushman
wish i could go on a Adventure with you and finn he is a vary good fire wood Collector.
Sundays are like that for me. Even if I really need rest, if I have work to do, I won't be able to, so I just get 'er done.
I'd love to be able to share my skills more often, but what draws a crowd is the unmanageable situation, like a messed up log because names are showing.
Keep the great videos coming friend and please keep safe from Scotland 🎉🎉😊
Looking forward to this tomorrow. Stay safe you two. Blessings.
love the videos man. greetings from Finland
Nice ranger my man!
Go to your local hardware store and buy a few dollar snatch block for your winch and it will double your pulling power .
Another goodie! Thanks Greg!👍😎
Sometimes you need it Greg!
He can do anything 🐸
He is a true survivor. Not only in bushcraft but a mechanic out there in the woods as well.
I cannot wait to camping too! Just as soon as I can get the brake fluid so I can FINALLY GO RELAX and bleed my brakes out in the GREAT OUTDOORS! AWE SO PEACEFUL! lol
No relaxing today lol😂
I can’t believe you still got that snow🐸
Amazing job Greg you inspire us all
Greg this is one of the best videos you’ve posted , absolutely love this one and would love to go on an adventure like this one and yes I laughed about hauling those trees on your front bumper.
Good job! Changing the pads is ok, but I hate changing the discs. That I don't do anymore 😂
I take the cap off the brake fluid reservoir before compressing the brake pad piston to give the brake fluid somewhere to go.
Damn that snowfall is beautiful. Southern Manitoba we got very little snow this year
Greg got a million dollar view while working on his breaks. God that country looks beautiful.
Canada is the most beautiful Country in the entire world. Thanks Seth💞
Amazing content!!!
I cannot believe it. I just replaced rear brake pads on my car. Drove for a couple of days heard bare metal on metal and had to do the front as well. Now I'm watching Greg do his. I feel like my life is just one big calliper assembly at the moment! 😅
Love your videos Greg! Greetings from Pennsylvania 😊
Hello from Wisconsin 😃
Great video! Maybe double check the brake pedal and fluid once more.😉
Great moments in Canadian history
Doesn't get more Canadian than this😅
brings back the good old days of making do with what you had and inventing ways to get the job done. Thanks Greg!
A true "shade tree" mechanic!! Thanks for taking us along.
U.K. here great videos Greg love the 30day challenges aswell, hopefully lots more to come, stay safe 💪🏻
The sticker on the door is GVWR meaning 5,700 lbs is the most the truck and all cargo can weigh safely. That truck is about 4,200 lbs give or take so you can haul 1,500 lbs in it. I’ve learned a lot about the bush from this channel so I thought I’d return the favor with some vehicle knowledge 😆
Love you buddy!
Good video greg I love the bush brake job very remorseful mister
😂 Like the rest of us, When you finally get a day off, And it's packed with all the chores that you had to put off during the work week! 🤪
That dungeness crab is still alive,...
That clicking You can hear is his gills working. I cook them the same way you do but in the same water they come out of. It seasons them perfectly! .. And he looks delicious!
As an afterthought, You may want to pick up a folding bowsaw and include it somewhere inside your truck. Maybe under the back seat. Chainsaws can fail too. It never hurts to have a back up plan!
When you said "We're doing brakes tomorrow, Finn" Finn stopped instantly and whipped his head around as if to say "What do you mean 'We', man? You're on your own sucka!" What an absolutely loveable pair! 👍 👍
❤🎉😊hello from Beautiful British Columbia 🇨🇦🍁🦖🐕
Love your videos
Great bushcraft guy, but most time’s common sense eludes him.😁
Thank you Greg another great episode
Your so good with your brakes also
Killer boots man! 🤙🏻
You blow me away Greg!! You just merged auto maintenance with "glamping"!! You are such a motivator, I love it. We need more people with your work ethic!
👍👍👍 Awesome
Brings back memories! Thanks Greg and Fin!
Your such a legend! Much love bro💙
Thanks Greg
I love it! Gettin learnt with Greg Ovens!
All these compliments and nobody bothered to remember how well you sing 🎤 😂
Thanks for your time and entertaining videos.
For some reason I think that having that winch will eventually result in Greg totalling his truck... 😂
I don't usually comment on videos, but am concerned about your safety.
Love your videos by the way.
Always use a sling or chain for attaching to something. Never hook the cable onto itself. It will break right there.
Always open your hood on the truck while winching, if the cable breaks, it won't go through your windshield. This is also why you want to stand off to the side as well. Cable won't come straight back at you.
Dampen the cable with weight, like a coat, as to force it to the ground as opposed to whipping up in the air.
I'd get a couple snatch blocks as well. You'll find all kinds of uses for your winch.
Really enjoy your channel and what you do and would really hate to see you get hurt and have to change your way of life that you seem to love so much.
Best wishes and stay safe.
Not exactly survival material. But I do like you changing the brakes. It’s funny how easy that is and of course how much they get to change them out. GREG, you’re always have interesting things to show us. But I think you’re worse than me. You forget a lot of stuff at home before you go out. 😂. Maybe you should have a check off list ?😂Keep up the greatvideos.
Greg, replace your winch line with a yank'um ropes winch line. They're based out of Idaho, US & very good quality. Check em out
Thanks!
Thanks for your support
Outstanding video Greg! Love seeing a day in the life of a bushcrafter videos.
That's certainly looking like a "snow" crab.
I'm just having a little brainstorm here, but you and Zach should do a 30 day back in Patagonia.
Greg I love your videos but the back country brake change was just ridiculous do it at home ... I watched half of it before I realized what the hell am I'm doing ??? then I left ... seriously stick to the survival stuff that was just nuts.
I love ya Greg. That being said, you must have a guardian angel looking after you and your time here on Earth. It really is hard to believe you’re still kicking, considering the innumerable comedy of errors you seem to produce. Anyway, thank you for giving us hope in that regard!
Hay Greg and Fin,nice truck.I had a jeep with a winch,ain’t they great!Tanks again for a grand video “A”!
I think you were lucky those logs didn't break, where do you think the energy would have went from the winch and wire? I worry it would have shot right into your truck, or you.
That truck does not weigh 5700lbs. That's maybe max total weight while towing.
C'mon Gregster...a pioneer such as yourself should always keep at least a limb saw in the truck at ALL times along with several other items for surviving the unexpected...from Texas
Hey Greg, I was wondering how do you get those logs that are already in the snow to burn so good? Mine always keep smoking when I camp in the snow so I try to find more dry branches. Thanks
Interesting way to change the breaks in the woods and it works sucks that you had to do it in the snow, winter just doesn't want to leave . , Looked like Finn really enjoyed his steak such a good well behaved boy.Interesting watch Greg Thank you
Always look forward to another video cheers to you and Fin godbless and stay safe
Excellent video Greg ,, you make it look so easy,, people with a garage would find that job a testing one 👍🤠
