Better than any survival show History/Discovery channel could ever put out.

Someone give him a sponsor so he gets more money, he deserves it!

This is the most underrated channel on KZfaq.

Protect this man at all costs

Most miserable night ever. I know the feeling. Had a similar experience once... I went for a day hike. About 15km. But I started a bit late and it was harder than I expected. It was a lovely, sunny early Spring day. I had a good jacket, a lighter, a pocket knife, a tin of stew, and plenty of water. I was about 10km in when it started getting dark and I realised I didn't bring a torch. I wasn't worried about being lost, I knew where I was, but I was worried about falling off a cliff in the dark, so I decided to camp till morning. It was already dusk, so I didn't have time to build a shelter. I found a spot under a big tree, a sandy bar by the river. It doesn't snow here, but it can get to low single digits in early Spring on clear nights. Cold enough to frost the grass. So I figured the tree would help shelter me from dew. Don't have to worry about bears, either. Except those pesky drop bears. So I built a fireplace, and scraped together enough leaves to make a bed right next to the fire, and gathered enough wood for the night. Ate my stew, and settled in for the night staring at the stars... Except about midnight, it got _really_ cold. I was freezing. So what I did was take one of the large rocks from the fireplace, put it inside my jacket, and curl up around it in foetal position. That kept me warm enough for about half an hour of sleep before I had to wake up to tend the fire and swap rocks. And my feet were icy, so I'd actually stand in the coals to warm up my boots. Anyway, this went on all night. Longest night of my life, ever. Looking at the sky, waiting for the sun to rise, spooning a hot rock... Misadventures are fun... When they're over. :)

Appreciate that you talk about the mistakes most won’t reveal.

You could truly see the excitement in his eyes when he said "it's going to get cold" it's all about perspective.

I literally just got done showing my daughter's how our tribe used to use cat tails, and they were so amazed. Now im going to show them this video so they can see it in action. Thank you!

Another friendly reminder to watch through the ads and not to skip them. Every little bit helps to keep Greg's channel going!

The “cover photos” scene is priceless. You should be a model Gregg! You might not be a model in that way but you certainly are a role model! When I find a husband I hope he’s as knowledgeable and handy as you!

Clearly he was a MEGA FOX when younger, and he is now ruggedly handsome. Love that hair. And I pick him for my team. JUST SAYIN

Your humor about poking branches, campfire placement and the lumpy jacket is naturally refreshing and enjoyable.

One thing I love about these videos is you explain what you're doing, why you're doing it and some of the things you've learned from not doing it. One thing that annoys me about a lot of bushcraft videos is they're always silent with no talking about why they're doing something. Keep up the good work!

"everywhere i go, branches attack me" lol :)

He ia so confident, calm and self reliant, his scruffy looks and way he talks, video editing is simple and not annoying, yet quite creative, everything was so interesting to watch, you are awesome

I just started watching you a few days ago and can't stop thinking about how amazingly talented you are. I have been telling everyone to tune into your channel. Very informational

These stories really teach us good and valuable info! Really like that! Keep it up!

I love ya man, great chap. I think one of the best things to learn from you is your attitude, your view is awesome. Thanks for sharing films man.

Probably the most authentic and realistic survival channel on YT. And Ovens is likeable bloke too.

Guess what Greg you have my attention and I'm an old lady (81). You like the wilderness, so do I. I would have loved to have just a few of your adventures. But alas I have to live vicariously through folks like you, the Beard brothers, and Shawn James. Love your videos, keep m coming. Thankyou.

Thanks for another great video! I love your straight forward, no bs approach to these types of videos. No fluff or gimmicky stuff to draw views. Just good information.

Soon school stops in Sweden then i go to out and live free in THE woods.. Love your KZfaq keep the good work

Thank you....iv been homeless most of my life these videos really help ..God bless you and again keep it up fantastic stuffing...cattails..

As a fellow drywaller and outdoorsman I must say Greg your videos are the most real and authentic which makes them the best on the tube !

The way you speak actually reminds me of my father. I think he would have loved to watch your videos, even though he didn't understand english. Keep up being awesome! :]

" Cover photos " lol i love this guy's channel

I agree. I really appreciate the honesty. My advice for stuffing with cattail fluff is to introduce the entire cattail into the hole of the liner before removing the fluff, then you pull the stick out gently and repeat. That way there's far less waste and stress. This method has the added bonus of keeping your in or are the warming fabric for longer, which I'm sure Greg would have appreciated that little bit more.

Hi Greg. It is always a pleasure to watch one of your videos. Your hair raising stories keep me glued to my phone. You make me want to make a shelter too...in my back yard. No bears here in my neck of the woods in southern Indiana. Looking forward to your next adventure. Love, Pat

Great story time Gregg! I’ve missed a few videos! I’m getting caught up now! I always enjoy a Gregg ovens lesson❣️

First time I've seen a man so happy for been sleeping in the rain... lol... Love your videos Greg, hi from Argentina.

This is the bush crafter show I Ve ever seen Greg you are the best and I wish you all the best.

You seem like a genuinely good guy. Thanks for the entertainment.

You’re so awesome man. Old school wisdom can’t be taught, only learned.

Greg I was able to use your 30 day challenge saying “if the ladies don’t find you handsome they should at least find you handy!!!!! 16yr old from Montana love your videos and there’s so much to learn you also being in the Rockies

I used to make these shelters when I was a kid; started with deer thickets and covered them with pine boughs. Warm! Many thanks. This is a great and valuable show. Appreciated.

When im missing my neighborhood friends and all the outdoor adventures we had when as we grew up ...I put on your channel Greg . I feel like I'm with an old friend ....your videos are very important to me for many reasons. Much luv brother!

For those in doubt of Greg's survivability, he last 53 days(!) in Alone season 3. He is a hardcore, down to earth bushcrafter. Don't let his appearance may deceive you, and you will be surprised on how good looking when he was young. I dare you~ ;)

Watched all your videos in the last couple of days Greg, it’s so good to see someone who is purely a survivalist at heart! The lack of camera experience adds to the whole thing for me! Keep it up buddy massive respect!

The shelter was awesome, glad it didn't rain , there was a open spot where rain could have fit & it does look nice for sure , i would sleep there if i needed to .

My grandpa showed us this when we were wi. Never forgot,great to see it done again!!!

Much respect and love for the quality of content! The sincere and wholesome attitude greg, is extremely apparent. Always entertaining and informative.. if not inspiring. Peace from the beast coast, PEI, Canada!

When its season, could you show how to process and preserve a deer, sheep, elk, moose, or whatever large animal. Anything that is going to take several meals to consume and so must be maintained for an extended period of time. Love the videos and happy to see you doing well.

Cattails are a gift from nature. So many uses. Thumbs up from Florida!

I love how excited you get with Mother Nature. Truly inspiring. Thank you for you inspiration. You are a beautiful soul.

You're an inspiration. I'm so happy I discovered your channel. If humanity could come to the realization that this is how we are intended to dwell on mother earth, the global problems would cease to exist immediately, at least on a mass scale. Everything else would sort out, indeed. Thank you, keep it up!

15:56 have first time seen grouse is druming.this man is a genious.

I knew a drunk old carpenter who taught me alot of tricks, reminds me of this guy. I reckon a family member is making a living and teaching him. It's good to see it going both ways

What an incredibly wise, brilliant, and also kind Human being you are. The skills you teach are wonderful.

Dude the details make it, the story, the grouse drumming etc awesome stuff man! I really appreciate the functional ideas you share like stuffing a coat.

That was a nice Story, i could really feel the rain , the low tempreture and the sounds in the bush when you told the Story.

In situations like the cattail coat! The idea of keeping your fire clear of the shelter is a wise one!! I've also gathered granite stones and heated them in the fire to a cherry red then dig the ground up in the shelter where I plan to sleep and use two limbs to move the red stones in and bury them in the ground deeply !! Keeps you warm all night!

He is good,enjoyed his show,someone please sponsor him.

The shape of that coat when you put it on was priceless, i was crying lol, loved this video and made me want to run out the door to the woods and build and sleep in a debris shelter, cant wait for the next video, you and Zach are the best youtubers ever. Hope one day you will get together again for another survival trip.

Great video ! I never thought of cattails as a down filling , that’s some good knowledge to remember . I hope you do continue making videos this summer . Thanks for taking us on another adventure. I can’t wait to see what your up to next . Take care stay safe !

Another outstanding presentation. Wilderness people are the only people living a free life, the rest of us are debt slaves. God bless.

You know what, I appreciate the time you take to like and answer most of these comments cause almost all people that have a KZfaq channel as popular as you don't like and reply on peoples comments , so even if you don't see this or like, or respond, I appreciate the great content and entertainment

That was one of the nicest Broncos I've ever seen in my life!! You must restore it man 😭

You could make a pretty awesome pillow with that cat tail too. I’m an islander Greg. I complain a lot about it being sunny, hot, and obnoxiously windy. I can’t help but feel like if I were out there with you I’d just be completely pissed off and screaming obscenities at the snow. I could see all the cold weather really getting old quick at a person’s nerves.🤣this story is seriously valuable and real! Me and some friends used to have cat tail fights when we were kids🤣all the fluff flying everywhere and covering our sweaty faces...

Last Spring I was at my camp as usual and next thing I know a _Ruffed Grouse_ shows up. Was interesting. Barely attacks and when it does, it simply lunges at my ankle lightly and jumps back. So this grouse kept showing up every visit. She got to be more friendly as the Spring and Summer when by, but still, if I am walking, she would sometimes do that soft lunge. It felt like she was a friend, which was nice, as I don't have any human friends to go out there with me and hang out. I had 2 or 3 occasions I gave bird seed for her and sometimes I'd take a piece of my crackers and break it into crumbs to give her. I haven't bee up there most of this winter, so not sure how she's been doing. The year before she showed up, in the summer I had a squirrel around every visit that would just keep chattering at me. I loved that! Turned out their home was in a tree next to the shelter I built. I wonder what will show up this upcoming summer?!

I did this in Utah when my car died. I had a good coat but not pants and no blanket. So between my thermals and levi's I closed the legs and stuffed in between them and stayed toasty! Now my vehicles are always prepped! And it's served me well many times!

I like that Greg is a Rocky Mountain Bushcraft dude. More than plenty eastern Bushcrafters on KZfaq. Keep up the good work showing us how it's done out west! I'm new to the channel so I may have missed episodes, but some tutorials on wild edibles in the western mountains and high deserts would be good. Great work, good to see a common man's honest approach in this field. Thanks for sharing.

i had to insulate the same way when caught in an early winter storm. it was a sleeping bag though. i found it worked much better to insert the cat tail intact then break it up.

First time seeing you on KZfaq AND I'm glad that I stopped to see what it's all about. Very, very important and informative about being stuck in the bush. I have all what you taught me locked up in my memory banks. A BIG THANK-YOU! 💯👍😎

I like the fact that you are or seem to be honest about the things you experienced. It would be pretty epic to go do a few days in the wilderness.

Just love your outdoor videos. They help my mind escape from being inside all day long.

Oh man, I been on the Rockies, when that sun goes down temp drops so fast.

Really am surprised a TV show hasn't hired you and finely,great job thanks very much

LOVE YOUR PHOTO SHOOT AT 22:20 MINUTES GREG!! YOU BE SAFE MISTER AND CARRY THAT FIREARM EVERYWHERE MY MAN!!

This reminded me of my childhood... we had a huge garden with young trees and old... lots of debris and ole twigs/branches... as kids we used to build shelters all the time, but never as much as when snow came... it was like we knew we rely on these skills. Looking back now... we were pretty smart kids :-)

New sub here. I enjoy seeing a real man in action and learning new things. Much love from Texas to you good sir !

Loving your adventures. As a kid my family camped in BC. Trout and white fish every day... Brings back fond memories. Thank you.

I'm so glad I live 30 minutes away from these beautiful mountain ranges.

King of the forest!

19:47 Me: there pretty cute Greg: it’s making me hungry 😋

I overpack on my day hikes just in case. I have shared my supplies with people who got into bad situations on many occasions. People always ask why I carry so much stuff on a day hike. Well, it can't hurt and if nothing else I'm getting good exercise. Great story Greg. You're the master.

Ahh the old "If you don't like the weather in XYZ, just wait 5min" 😁 Certainly true in the Rockies!

I just found this guy and inlike him straight away

instantly upon seeing this guy i like him :)

No way man, YOU'RE AWESOME!! Love me a debris shelter, one of the first bushcraft type things I did back when I was a kid

this man is a real bushman ive leaned so much from his videos,beautiful person!

The Crees in northern Canada use boughs for their bed too, when they go hunting..Thank you for your interesting educational videos!!!

That was one hell of a story Greg! scared the s*** out of me just listening to you tell it. Good luck brother!

I have no idea why I did not discover him / this channel sooner!! OUTSTANDING!! Thanks!

Something about this gentleman gives me hope keep the great content coming buddy thank you

Mr. Oven. You must read a story called, "to build a fire" good old Jack London

Great vid! Greg is settling in, better filming, more talking, awesome information! Great vid, got my Dad watching also.

Cattail quilt... Beautiful Idea... Thank you for sharing... two sheets sewn together with jean squares ...

Greg is a true hardcore Canuck! Out in nature with the excitement of a young child. Good on ya mate!! Perspective

Wow, came across your channel for the first time today. You have a great skill at making such highly informative videos as well as being such a rad human to learn things from. Please keep it up!

Gonna make one with my sons this summer at the lake in huntsville

Cattails. They are so versatile, they have so many uses. Grow a lot of places around the world.

I just found this channel and this guy is my role model for the time being

In Boston when I was a kid, we would collect cat tails, just to fight each other with lol!🤣 This is more creative!💯✌️

That's quite a story. You must have been young! I can't imagine leaving my rifle and coat behind. Glad you made it.

Shelter was awesome...but I would keep filling in where any light comes through. I would also make a hay or bough mattress and weave a door too. Love the cattail down jacket!

I feel like all your advice may come in handy for many of us sooner than later. Thanks man.

well yer one up on Mr. Wallis for the week....hope he's doin' well , as I hope you are....Rock onnnn Greg Robert

WOW BROTHER YOU THE REAL DEAL MAN, WHEN THE APOCALYPSE COMES WELL LET'S JUST SAY... IT AIN'T GOT NOTHING ON YOU, YOU'RE A SURVIVOR THANK YOU FOR YOUR VIDEO, I TRULY DO LEARN FROM YOUR VIDEOS THANK YOU AGAIN

Thanks Greg! I really enjoy watching your videos! They are entertaining and l got a real kick out of Finn's video! Thanks Zack, for helping Greg to bring these videos to us. I also watch your videos and find them enjoyable too! Liz from Ontario, Canada

Thank you for the firsthand advice. It goes to show you that preparation is always a good idea.
