Lost & Stranded in Canadian Backwoods | Catch & Cook Trout | Mushroom Foraging

Greg returns from Vancouver Island, planning to meet a friend for mushroom foraging and trout fishing, BUT he runs into several mishaps and setbacks that leave him LOST and STRANDED on the backroads of the Canadian wilderness, and he's forced to make the best of things. What can you learn from Greg's methods and mistakes that will save you from a similar situation?
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.

Quick story for ya Gregg, I wasn't that far from where you are I think and a buddy and me went day hiking, drove to the spot for camp, walked about 6ish miles (we think) on cutlines, and boom, lost. we had to spend the night by a tree with no food and little water. it got so bad we were drinking out of a tiny stream. It was scary I know the feeling all to well. long story short we found a logging road and walked out got a ride to our camp and went home, my buddy got the runs from the water but we were fine. Love the Video my dude as always. Keep them coming

@G.A.gigger Жыл бұрын

that was not 5 grand worth of mushrooms ..they were just kidding around , an inside shroomers joke. That might have been 100 bucks worth , maybe. The pines maybe 30 bucks a pound for 1s and that is high ...Rob who was the other guy is a buyer sometimes . Lobster mushrooms 6 or 8 a lb. Chanterelles 6 to 8 if you are lucky ..those were white chanterelles.

His foraging skills would be interesting to put to the test in a "catch or collect what you eat" situation. Can mushrooms sustain you if you have enough of them...?

Went hunting with my dad today in a forest we've never been to and we almost got lost on the backroads multiple times. Took a few wrong turns. If it wasn't for topping off our tank at the expensive last stop before going onto the wilderness (which we almost didn't do) and the odd bridge that stood out so much that I knew for sure it wasn't the road we came in on, we'd have been sleeping out there just like you tonight.

@lanecountybigfooters5716 Жыл бұрын

Lessons: always carry a paper map, GPS and something like a Garmin InReach Mini. Don't change camps in the dark. Tell someone where you are going. Carry extra gas and extra food. When you're lost STOP MOVING and "hug a tree". The reason I carry so much gear in my truck is exactly because I'm afraid of getting lost like you did! Mushroom hunting and fishing are two of my favorite things to do outdoors. Joe seems like a good friend. What a difficult adventure! Glad you're safe.

Greg is it possible your Finn can find his way back to camp? I found myself in a state when I realized I'd taken the wrong trail and no longer knew my way. I had my Lasso with me so I picked her up and did what I always did I got her excited about going home and put her down and said OK Dolly let's go home and I followed her off trail thru the tuckamore and I was more than worried we were going the wrong way when boom there was my car which without her I knew I'd never have found my way from the position I had been in. Sorry for such a long comment I just want to possibly help you with future "where the heck am I". Test out Fin see..what he knows💞🥰

I use to haul logs here in western Washington state, one thing that was universal to our logging roads around here is that if you're lost always follow the road numbers down. Meaning if your on the 9640 road go in one direction and see if the next road is the 9650 or 9630. Always drive downhill and pay attention to the road numbers, number get higher as you drive up the mountain
