Survival Expert Raises Puppy into Bushcraft Dog
Ойын-сауық
Finn has been Greg's best friend for almost TWO years now. They've had some awesome adventures together and Greg couldn't ask for a better canine bushcraft buddy. From fetching firewood to scaring off bears, Finn is one of the best survivalist dogs out there, even if he knocks the camera over once in a while!
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.

He learned what the word ' firewood ' meant eventually. He learnt the difference to the word stick,and what actions to do with each word. Great dog,great stick thrower .
It's amazing how he fell into his role. You can see the intelligence in his eyes. That'll be a wise dog when he begins to calm down with age. You're both very lucky to have each other lol.
A Dog is a man's best friend. That GS will be loyal and protect you as long as it is alive. Awesome animal!!
What a beautiful video about Findlay. He is an awesome dog and such a character we all love him. You and Fin stay safe out there.

You are so lucky to have such a great dog companion
He's a great little man and the best partner you could have.
Awesome to see how far Finn has come in all the flashbacks! Thanks Greg!
There's a reason they're called man's best friend. When I was young, I was planning on traveling across the country alone. Years before the trip, I was crazy enough to bring in a year and a half old pitbull that was left at an abandoned house I was checking out. Tasha couldn't be a more loyal dog to me. We spent two months driving across the country. Hiking, camping, trespassing, we did it all. I couldn't have asked for a better traveling companion. Keep up the good work, and thank you for sharing your wisdom over the years.
I’m just a kid rn but i feel it would be so fun just me and my dog just traversing the wilderness kinda like you, keep up the good work

Do it! Practice all the bushcrafting skills you can while you're young, go on camping trips, spend nights sleeping outdoors in a tent, build shelters in your backyard, find online survival groups you can join (some might have an age limit). I wish I had learned all this stuff when I was a kid. I'm 58 now, and not sure I could survive on my own in the wild.

1) unless something happened to his tail as he was growing up, he's not a pure bred German Shepherd. 2) his behaviour is pretty stereotypical German Shepherd behaviour even if he's not a pure bred, so I have no idea what you're talking about, they're amazing work dogs (and that includes the bush), they literally don't require training to be protective of their people and their people's property, and there's a reason why they're pretty much the preffered breed by all police and army forces around the world, lol. Though he is a one of a kind for Greg, that's for sure.

@@YamiKisara sorry to burst your bubble but the vast majority of German shepherds are trash, they are over bred and not test properly. That said yes if you get a good one off proper lines they are amongst the best dogs in the world.

What a wonderful companion Finn is!
What a lovely tribute to Finn! Perfect Bushcraft companion! 🧡
Thanks Greg and Finn...Finn is the most lovable guy, I'm really Happy that Finn is your best friend, the show wouldn't be the same without Finn!🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Best KZread dog ever! I adore Finn. ❤🐕🐶
Finn we love you ❤
Man's best friend..they got that right. Finn come a long way,we'll behaved. Great watchdog keep predators away from camp. Thanks for the share Brother 👊 🇨🇦🔥👊
The most beautiful friend. Even a lifetime will not be enough !!!
Bring a tear to my eye when I first wake up at 4 in the morning. Heart warming for sure. That's not only a smart protector that's his best friend in the while world and fin would die for him. It's truly amazing
Greg, and the fowler team thank you for that teaser of the 30 day challenge! I'm so pumped and hyped for that! When is it gonna be coming out ?!?!
I make camping videos with my dog Tyson, he is my best friend and best camping companion. This video reminds me Tyson when he was puppy on camping with me. Thanks for this video
That is one happy dog with an incredible life.
Thar dog loves being out in the bush. It's fun to see the special bond people have with their dogs. Fin might be the happiest boy on earth. A life of adventure ❤ One of my dogs is an American white Shepherd and he is vocal just like Fin. He makes that same whimpering whiny sound when he's excited or trying to communicate lol. He also barks at me when he wants me to follow him and i joke that he yells at me when he needs something. He's 10 now still has a young spirit.
I remember when you got Findlay as a puppy. He was so cute and he's grown to be such a good firewood catcher!
Yeah! So glad to be here! Love you and Fin so much Greg, thanks for sharing!❤
I assume that means I've been watching the show for over 2 years because I started watching before the video when you picked him up. Wow does time fly. Fin has so much personality, you can even see it in his facial expression and his eyes.Fin has brought a lot of joy and laughs for sure.
FINN!!! i LOVE Finn!!!!! what a great episode. mans true best friend is always there for you and full of energy. what a great episode of ORMB
It's been a blast to watch fin grow over this time, he loves his sticks and he's a nut case but that's what makes me love him even more

Fin reminds me of my Belgian Malinois, she’s 2 years old now. Same mannerisms! So fun to watch a pup be so happy. What a blessed life!
HAPPY UP & COMING BIRTHDAY FINN! 🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂🎂
We love you Fin! And of course, you too Greg! Best wishes from Ontario!
Dogs love living in the bush. Our DDR, bonded more with us in the woods than anywhere else. And they take care of their people in the woods. It's the best experience to have with the doggies! We stayed out on 2 tracks in the national forest for about 2 years, moved every 15 days and had a seasonal round established.
I love Findlay! He's such a good pupper! Thank you for looking after Greg out there in the woods! :)
Great episode I live somewhere in the mountains in Quebec and me and my dog was entertained
Finn is amazing sticks catching.. he is so smart dog and helpful and also protect his dad as well 👍🏻👏🏻
It's been cool seeing Findlay grow up on your channel Greg!
It's wonderful to see how a dog raised in nature behave. Soo beautiful
Society needs to get more grounded like Greg and Fin. Wholesome and natural living. It’s the best.
Finn is smart, funny, beautiful, adventurous, courageous, and loving. He reminds me of my first dog, a black Lab named Halo, who was my camping buddy, best friend, and like Finn was obsessed with sticks! He passed 13 years ago on October 10th and I still miss that dog. Companions like Findlay and Halo are like no other! This was a great video...thank you for sharing these clips of Finn. -Hedy
Fin is a good looking dog! He is the definition of a man’s best friend. You guys living your best life in the bush
Loved watching you two hanging out. Finn is like my wife’s dog Cochise; full of energy and always wanting to play.
That’s one heck of a Bushcraft Dog you’ve got there Greg! Long Days and Pleasant Nights to you and the company that you host. I pray you never encounter a grizzly bear 🐻. 🍻
All dogs are precious. Finn, is a beautiful smart dog. My dog he is 16 years old, he is my best loyal friend. Got my dog when he was 8 weeks old puppy. So far so good my 16 year old buddy is doing great. Keep good care of Finn he is your loyal friend. Thank you for sharing your video.
Dogs are most definitely man's best friend

This is the essence of a Friend in a Doggy Form. Such a nice soul and experience to have. All goods from a Dutch Dog Lover!

Hi Greg 💜 Finn is amazing. My German shepherd watches Finn. 🐾
Such a good boy, and so beautiful too! Having a good life in the middle of some raw nature. GSDs are just special dogs. So intelligent and understanding.

Thanks for showcasing Finn!! I remember when you got him . Take care and stay safe my friend !!
Awesome video Finn. Thank You for sharing. Stay Safe!!! What a Great Dog!!!
probably the best video i’ve seen all week. Greg & Finn together
I love their relationship and his love for the dog and how the dog also helps him!!!
I think that for this breed of dogs to be raised in such a setting and environment is the best for them! Extremely smart dogs have a very high capacity for training and a sharp mind! And this environment can provide them with the necessary conditions for development!
You done an amazing job raising him and everyone can tell that dog is very loyal to you and you to him. You guys are an awesome team. He would die to protect you in a heartbeat as he shows that every time any animals come around camp. Keep up the good work Finn😁👏💯😎💪
This is my first video of yours so idk anything about bushcraft or what your life is like but what I do know is that this is the cutest dog ever omg🥰🥺 I love the little conversations you have with him and your straightforwardness with him while he’s such a goofball🤣 it makes me smile!
