Greg Ovens thought that's who!

Awww 😂 poor darling Finn. He thinks, ‘every time I bring Dad a new toy he burns it!’ His optimism is eternal.

His hard hunted New toys go up in smoke. But the cooked trout/salmon tastes good.

I totally agree that starting fire is the most important survival skill. Warmth, boiling water, cooking and light. Without the basic knowledge of creating fire civilization wouldn't be what it is today.

My high school philosophy teacher asked us one time: “What differentiates Man from beast?” His answer: “Fire”

Finn: "I love my dad, Greg, but he keeps burning my toys!"

Hi Greg, if you remove the metalpiece from your lighter you have still a chance for a little flame. Put the lighter in your hand for a while to warm it up. Now press the gas permanent with your left thumb and ignite with your other hand, and you get a very little flame. By removing the 'metalpiece' there is more oxygen around, and you can start a fire. Stay well and a big PETRI

Good tip anna

Your best video yet. I might never need this but, it's great to have the ability to start a fire when you have to.

Ive recently discovered that Greg must be the long lost doppelganger of my father. You are an absolute inspiration Mr Ovens. Great video

Greg Ovens is a gift that keeps on giving

Thank you very much Mr. Ovens for showing me how I can still do the bow drill with your log method, I have hip problems and find it difficult to to it the regular way now, though I had succeeded in the past , now I can try a new way which some day could be a lifesaver.

Hey Greg; LOL, TO Me, Means Lots of Love! Butt-Ya had me LOL, everyone uses), at halfway through when you mentioned BPt! From an old Hippie, I can see that you're a Manly-Man,-Man. "My" Favorite of all Survivalists!😊 You are also one of the best Teachers, ya stay cool, calm, and have the Patience for what you do! Your information, may very well save a Life-Lives! So very happy for you that you, and Fin found each other! He is very special/as You, if he would only bring his favorite Toy straight to you!😂 what a Team! 🐕🧔! GBU.,SM.,NZ., ☮🥰🤗🙏👍😎

I’ve watched everyone of your videos and I always look forward to your next one. Your one smart cookie Greg. My husband would have loved your show. But he passed away 3 1/2 years ago. 😔 Stay safe 💗

Great messaging and demos Greg! I like your videos that get right to the basics. Keep up the good work!

This is great learning. I seen this guy on KZread, the king of fire. His names David west. He polished the bottom of a coke can and started one with that. Awesome stuff 🐸🍺🔪🔥

I wear glasses and have for a great deal of my life. As kids, we used to use our glasses to fry ants. I love your videos by the way! You aren't here trying to look cute or talk about yourself 80%of the time! You get to the point and it's greatly appreciated! Keep up the great work giving knowledge and may the gods bless you and keep you safe!

Loving the chance to store up all this knowledge! Thanks for all you do and for bringing Findlay along to make me 😁

Great Video Greg. I make my kids watch some of your best videos (short attention spans LOL), because I always worry about my kids. Want to make sure they can survive through the worst times. Appreciate all your knowledge and ideas made into these lovely tutorials. Best Wishes Always. RY-Michigan

I absolutely appreciate these hacks, Greg! Very Cool

Hey Greg! Love the videos man and appreciate all the hard work you put into them. This another great video and I'll definitely be learning how to do some of these tricks. I thought about something when you lit that last fire in the video with a lighter that had no fluid it became very apparent how quick big forest fires can start. I'm sure you know all about that and I'm also sure you've dealt with them actually.. I know y'all have because I watch your videos lol. Just an idea but using a lit cigarette and showing viewers how easy a forest fire can start by flicking a cigarette out the window of a car or even walking a trail in the woods or something, I just think that would be a awesome video and bring awareness to ppl how easy these fires can start. Even using these seeds you using in this video and or the dandy lion heads, Dry grass etc... Thanks for being awesome man give Fin a big hug for me it's always cool to see him. I'm disabled and can't really get out and about but if I'm ever able to It'd be cool to do a overnight survival or even just meet up and do some fishing or lobster catching lol. Have a blessed day and be safe out there. 😎💪💯 26:21

Awesome tips. Ive used almost all. I remember Les Stroud [Survivorman] used a bit of chocolate to polish the bottom of a pop tin, angle it to focus the rays and then left it on a tinder bundle while he went looking for food and it was smoking when he got back

This movie is one of the best and most valuable fire making guides I have ever seen! You can tell that the man passes on his experience 100%, for which I am very grateful! Best regards from Germany!

These videos are always very informative. Keep it up, Greg

Wow you and Finn have such a loving relationship he's such a cool dog!

i love the bits with the dog refusing to play your game....i have an ausshole shepherd and she does similar things

When I'm having a bad day, I watch Greg ovens and my day always ends up much better, smart and funny guy.

Hello Greg, are you going to make the berry's wine video? Love your food videos!!!

My goodness! Finn is handsome AND handy (you, too)! I'm going to store sandwich bags, pine needles, dry branches, grasses, and cedar in my car. I have a lot of lighters. Grateful for this video. Thank you.

Thanks Greg! Love your videos! Appreciate all you share!

Love your videos! We need more. I finally found the Alone season 3 on freevee. Hypothermia is no joke. I would like to see more videos as I learn so much and get to laugh at you and Finn at the same time! Make more please!!

The gun barrel on the car battery was my favorite! Thanks

Great Information on Fire Starting ... Greg .... When You pass to the other side ... You will be shown the butterfly effect to all humanity you saved and touched from your unconditional knowledge dedication and Love. God Bless You Brother....

Powder in the lighter is a good one. I just spent five weeks hiking in Idaho. I can't walk past the hundreds of down and rotting stumps without thinking about your hacks. My hiking partner thinks I'm nuts but it makes a hike so much more enjoyable grinding up some powder and kicking stumps looking for fatwood - smells great. I need a partner like Finley. My Shepard / Lab mix dog died a few days before you drove up to pick up Finley. I miss her so much.

Morel mushroom bonanzas in forest fire areas. Maybe a video on some of the Morel harvest areas since forest fires have been raging for months, now.

If more men in this world took as much pride and joy in the simple values of man making fire as Greg does, this world would be in a better place lol

Reading glasses will work like the bag of water. Aren't you so glad you got Finn? Dogs are great! fi

Love the fire helper montage.

Dude made fire with water 🤯 legendary!

I never really realized how lucky i was to have all learned all this at such a young age. Survival should be taught in schools..

When attempting any solar ignition, may I suggest wearing sunglasses to protect your eyes? At the least, keep a few pair of those disposable shades often handed to you after a dilated exam at the optometrist's office. Using the "floating log" to keep pressure on the drill while bow drilling was brilliant. I have not seen that trick before.

That Sandwich bag fire starter was utterly amazing.. that's one i never saw previously... Good show.. ty

That cut scene at 11:08 was really good😂. Another great video with helpful ideas.

Greg, thank you. You really help a lot of people get through their day.

10:50 RED GREEN!!

Met Greg today CR. Very cordial

I was sitting in a vehicle one time and waiting for my Sister to get her mail at the post office. Hot day and had the window open. I wear reading glasses around my neck. I was sitting there waiting and I kept feeling my arm burning. I look down and the sun was magnified through the readers burning my arm. Lol

Nearly forty yrs ago, whenever coming down to the flatlands, would pick up any lighters as I walked along the road. Generally the trek back would be in the dark. Holding a lighter out in front and shielding your eyes with a cupped hand, the spark would light your way. Could end up with a sore thumb but better than falling off the trail. Mountainman Carl

German shepherds are truly gods gift to man!

That ziplock bag hack is foookin brilliant sir

Great video! Informative and entertaining as always.

OMG.... for a minute there I thought you had a dead bird laying next to your coal in the "water in a baggy" fire starting hack! LOL!
