NEW Life Saving Fire Starting Method | Emergency Survival | Grouse Hunt & Fungus Forage

Күн бұрын

Greg shares emergency survival tricks and techniques, including a NEW fire starting method that could save your life! He also finds a stranded man on the Rocky Mountain bush roads while grouse hunting and mushroom foraging, but when the man goes back to his truck and doesn't return, Greg becomes concerned for his safety and begins to prepare for the worst. PLUS Hopalong finds a new home!
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.
