Stranded in Bush After Truck Stolen | Fireside Chat with Greg Ep. 1
Ойын-сауық
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.
Greg talks about a time when his daughters ran off with his truck and left him stranded in the bush.

10 minutts with Grieg Ovens is actually exactly what the doctor ordered. Please continue.
Greg, put out what you want. We will click and keep you going. We support you no matter what. If it means we get to know you better, even better. Also: as a Google map/Google/wiki addict, I LOVE the addition of the images/maps and descriptions to show us where you are/info on things mentioned in these stories.

Hell...it's better than zero minutes with Greg Ovens
Says a lot about Gregs character that he was anxious about his daughters....and concerned about them over his truck or how he would get home. Yes, more stories please.

Yeh I would have been worried too, but! Once I got over it. I would definitely have found a way to give them a taste of their own medicine. Like take them out camping, get the fire going for them then say I'm going to grab some gear then split until the morning! They would have had to make a bed, gather wood, maybe a shelter too. They would learn a lesson they would never forget!

I think it's pretty obvious this would be any father or parents thoughts and if it isn't that person has some mental health issues.
If these campfire stories buy me another 10 years with Greg Ovens on KZread then I’m all for it. Whether you’re fishing, crafting, cooking or just plain old chatting is good by me and I think I can speak for a large portion of your followers when I say that.
Hi from Queensland Greg, DO IT! DO IT! DO IT! You are one of the rare youtubers that my husband will sit and watch with me. We find your videos fascinating to say the least. We're really looking forward to hearing more about you and your stories.
As a person in the commercial construction field; I’d personally love to hear some of the stories you had while hanging rock. Quite the environment. Some would say it’s similar to a survival/bushcraft scenario. It’s every man for themselves at times. Look forward to the content to come!

Let's go, this is something I do while camping with my daughter, we talk stories of me living in Cambodia and the craziness that I experienced. Please keep it up, love it!
That was a great story it reminded me the time my son age 5 took off with the neighbors dog, I had neighbors and myself out searching for him. Finally found him but the scare was awful.

My brother did the same thing he was about four- five years old. He was in the yard playing with the dog and the next thing I know he was gone and the dog was gone he had followed the dog down to the end of the trailer park where there was a giant trash pit. My parents and i found him before dark unhurt.
Yes please more stories! I can listen to you all day! I don’t have a dad, those girls are super lucky to have you!
I've been a commercial plumber for 27 years and am also full of stories. Humanity is endlessly fascinating. I personally would like a 20 minute stories with Greg program posted daily....
"Don't even stop for a pee, unless you've got the key!" - this is being added to my collection, good sir!
Absolutely would love to have this recurring series, Greg! My family and I love your channel and the way you tell stories
Always loved it whenever you would tell stories, Greg! Would certainly love to hear more of your adventures!
Oh man, I feelya! I was at a very long beach in south New Jersey with my two kids -- this was a fairly wild area, fairly deserted. I got distracted, and they disappeared. I thought the worst -- shark attack (great whites were in the area), cramps & drowning, abduction -- all those things. You are so right...anxiety is really horrible. I managed to get a rescue guy, and he traveled on a four wheeler along the beach for four miles, and found them walking, with their heads down, looking for sea glass and shells. They had no idea they had walked so far. Today, they are backpackers, and they do 26 miles a day, sometimes. Big WHEW! :) TELL YOUR STORIES! ♥
Thanks for sharing this with ua! I miss the "story time" I got when visiting my neighbor when I lived in Queens, NY. His wife would scold him when he started retelling a story I heard 5 times before. I didn't care. It was real history in your face. Boy! Do I miss my friend, Mike.
Greg, not only do I want to hear your stories, but want to hear all your Grandma's stories, too- and more!
These short stories are a fantastic idea!!! As an avid you tube watcher, I would rather watch a few short videos than one long one. I just think your short stories will be a hit!! Keep up the great work Greg!!
Whatta story on your truck! I could almost feel your concern and fears. What a beautiful outlook you have 🤗
The fact that Greg got anxiety over the thought of what could of happend to them and not himself just tells you what a kind hearted man he truly is.

@@Jollen73 True! I sure don't know the whole situation. The girls rebelled. They are grown now. I just felt it was sad that Greg had nice plans for them and they ruined it. He also said it was the second time. Kids can act out at times.
Absolutely keep the Fireside Chats coming. Thanks for sharing your very personal family adventures. Stay safe Greg.
I'm all in for storytime with Greg. Those girls was very lucky 😜. Thanks for sharing 😊. An yes I agree that this will help us to know you better. 😅
Love the concept. One day, imagine the playlist with hours and hours of Greg telling stories. Gonna be good to fall asleep to.
I love this guy! His sincerity, his accent, and just general attitude makes him a treasure!
Bush-craft is spending some time around a campfire listening to stories. Those were always remembered as the good times.
Great story, I hope the kids were as concerned for you as you were for them. I can't imagine even a thought of ever placing my parents in a situation that would place them in peril no matter how young and foolish. No punishment they could have dished out would compare with the shame I would have felt either. I am glad all turned out for the best and hope they matured and respected you and realized their selfish actions.

Doesn't sound like they were in the least concerned, since it took him 3 times to keep his keys on him!!
Glad to hear your daughter's were ok. Would love to hear your stories. Love your channel. Thank you for taking the time to teach us and share. Many blessings to you. Stay safe. ☮️❤️🙂🙏🌈🍀💪🇨🇦
Your life sometimes feels like a true pioneers' adventures. Go for it Greg.
👍 Good idea! I love sitting by fire and listen good old stories. I remember. As a child we loved Grandma's stories. She told us many stories from her life. Especially when there was a thunderstorm. But today I think that she was more afraid of lightning and thunder than we kids were.
I would love to hear all your stories Greg. You poor thing...what the heck😮 sorry you had to go there all that. 🤗 Can't wait for the next story!!🏞️
Your sharing of adventures and stories is magical and your videos here are something I always look forward to. So share what you want, your audience will be just as happy to see you picking berries fishing or sharing a story.
Fireside chats is a great idea. I will certainly be looking forward to them. Weekly chats would be great but I realize this would be a lot of extra work so I appreciate whatever you do.
I prefer videos, 15 minutes and under for the most part. I love a good story. When my brother passed, not only the family missed his mini stories, but also the staff at the nursing home. I think the fire side chats would be a great thing to leave your daughter and any children she may have.
Sounds like a awesome idea Greg can't wait for more episodes.
Yes more fireside chat’s please Greg !🙏🙏
This is gonna be a great series! More fireside chats!!
What a great idea. Stories kept in the ether for family, friends, and fans. Stories that will truly last as long as the internet exists 👍
The chats are a great idea, Greg! This will be epic!! 😁😎
What a great story Greg I'm so glad they were okay! Can't wait to hear more stories!
My 97 year old father started his hunting days out west of Sundre in the Ya Ha Tinda area when he was 13 years old. They drove a team of horses from east of Olds all the way out to the mountains. He has so many wonderful stories he loves to tell
I really enjoy listening to you tell us about your experiences. You are a classy guy who the children can watch with no bad influence. Don't ever stop being your sweet, humble self.
Thanks for sharing your stories Greg! Looking forward to more!!!
Greg, you are one of a kind! So glad I found your channel a few years back. Just bought one of your Finn at sunset sweatshirts. Love the fireside chats with Greg idea. I'd love to hear anything and any stories you have to share. Yes, build a fire and cook as you story tell. Keep these coming! And maybe, more than once a month?? ❤
What a guy, with such resolve. That there is what I call a beautiful human being. Any number of things could have happened to you, and all you were worried about is what could have happened to them. Doesn’t even feel like you gave a damn about the truck in that moment. What a guy.
One hell of a story! Glad everything turned out okay!
I would love to hear more about your life Greg! Bring it on!❤✌
Your stories are the best! Keep ‘‘em coming!
I was so thrilled when I stumbled on to you here. You were my favorite on Alone. I love the idea of your fireside chats. The world needs a little more of you. Thank you for sharing.
Love this idea! Sorry you had to experience such anxiety… but this is the reality of being a parent. Thank you for sharing this story and I look forward to many more. Much love ❤
Great story. Fireside chat is a cool idea. Love to hear more. 💚
Can't wait see you and Finn there my favorite two KZreadrs
I love this idea. I worked in a nursing home, more often then not I was getting written up for just sitting around listening to my elders. I was so enthralled with a lot of the stories of the 20's on up to the time they were placed with care.
Yes! A million likes. Truly love and miss these campfire stories. Take care from Canada eh!

Yes, my friend, this too, is a great format for you to teach us from. It's certainly enjoyable... 'the story' teaches us much in a short format. VERY Grateful for your commitment to share these skills and experiences. Very.
People have said I should write a book about my life's stories, and I said the same thing to them. You go for it Greg. Fireside chat is the way to go. 'Oven's Fireside'? I like it, a lot.
Thank you for the gift of you! Your daughters are going to really enjoy having this legacy of your life.
I sure love the idea of fire side chat with greg. Greg you have a such a great heart! You got our truck stolen and all you did was worried about them getting hurt. Bless your heart brother! I would’ve been pissed.
Yes sir ! Stories are good, thank you for your time
Thanks for sharing Greg can't wait for the next one!
Excellent story Greg! I think this series is a great idea, and I'm looking forward to more of them.
