Taking a Friendly Fan to Vancouver Island
Ойын-сауық
Greg was contacted by a friendly American subscriber and she traveled out to Western Canada to meet up with Ovens. They explore the beaches and rainforest of Vancouver Island, fishing and foraging along the way, taking in the stunning scenery that the island has to offer.
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.

Not sure if you know but southeastern Oklahoma is gorgeous and you can take some of these skills and have a great time! Not as beautiful as Vancouver Island but for being close, it does the job!

Hello Greg 🍀🍀🍀👑 kind regards from germany 👋👋👍🌟
EPIC Ovens ✅️. Saturday night surprise👍💥‼️⛱️
Greg is a very smart man skilled in many many things ! Also a Gentleman with good values and excellent morals ! 👍👍
Hi greg. Kinda didnt matter the fish werent biting, the forest is beautiful, your friend seemed nice and it was funny when the crab nipped you. Heheh. Right on mx
I think I can count on my fingers The amount of really decent genuine stuff on utube lately, and Greg’s footage hits the spot every time. Greg the women must be lining up to spend some time out there with such a great dude, and any woman who is prepared to live in a tree is a keeper for me.

Hey there Greg, love the video thanks for that, it really shows your dedication to your fans, we appreciate that. Your tips on different ways to starting a fire works great, car battery though... Old thing barely lights up a bulb. But anyway, I found a "science fire" fire starter, it's a well known mix so if someone by some chance keeps it in their pouch while on a trip, a small mound of potassium permanganate and literally one drop of glycerine in the center like when you're mixing flour and eggs sparks up a small flame. Not the most natural way, but does the trick none the less, you light up a few twigs and just move it to your fire log tower, a fun way to make BBQ for your friends. But once again love the videos, hope to see more great content. Greetings from South Africa. 💪🎣
i lived on the island for 20 years.. if ya go to union bay ( near courtenay) and launch at the public ramp... cross to the 1st island, skirt around it then jump to the 2nd island you will get all sorts of rock fish lingcod out the yingyang ... we called it codfish bay... every pass inland a ling every pass outward a salmon . ./ great clamming and crabbing there as well
Don't be shy. You're beautiful! What a great vid :) I love seeing Fin make sure your fan makes it under the tree (15:23). You should do fan-based outings :) Imagine a group of 5 or 7 of your fans having a great camping excursion :) The more the merrier. I love the hollowed area of tree roots where your friend said she could live there, make a home out of those tree hollows. What a great looking place! I can see it, can imagine it :)
Thanks for these videos. The are sweet relief from the grind, and are much appreciated!
aloha Greg. I'm a young ranger and I can't live without the smell of a campfire and the scenery of my native archipelago. I am a resident of the city of Vanino in Russia. the conditions here are the same as in Alaska, salmon, deer, and most importantly, bears, there are very, very many of them here. tell me how to calm my mom down so she's not afraid to let her son go to the mountains. thanks for earlier.
Can I come next Greg? I'll travel from Europe! Great video mate!
Cool plant tour🐸
🎉 thanks for the video guys 🎉... looks like a good time 🎉... JJ... Jonjon...😊😊..
Hi Christie from Oklahoma, I'm a Oklahoma resident myself
Greg is casting a spell on the fish with each cast he makes.

Beautiful trip an scenery ! Thank u !
That sound is so relaxing
It is a dream of mine to visit alaska and explore Canada. As an American I wish the people in our country could be as kind and neighborly as Canadians.
I'm so glad to see you again. I'm glad those bed bug scars are gone. Thank you for your awesome videos.
Much better with a boat!!! Salmon fishing gone down in the last 10 years but still possible to catch a meal!
Cool I coming next
Beautiful shorelines and beautiful woods. Wonderful of you to take her on this adventure. God bless.
LOVE the into!!!!!
Thanks for the video Greg.!! I enjoy your videos really makes my day .!!
Hello Greg You Rock Beautiful Precious Soul Angel 😇💖🙏 Thank You so much for sharing your experience with us💯👍
Great share! It’s the best of both worlds in my opinion💧 Anytime where the Mountains & Trees meet the Sea 💟🏔️🌲💟
Love that Akuma rod and reel she used. I've got one myself.
Crab, my favorite 😊, so much fun!
Amazing content thanks again greg
aw Even Finn was waiting for her to get out ok that is an amazing dog
GOD Bless and Protect You Both on your trip🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 Sending Great Big Holly💞Hugs from Montreal Quebec Have An Awesome Time💯👍
That was cool you had Christie out there with you as a follower. Next time maybe you can have them talk a little bit more and let them add to the video a little more. She was too quiet.
Joke or not, some people don't have any respect, ( read the comments ) what a lovely thing for Greg, to have a friendly fan, experiencing the outdoors, and survival skills in the wilderness Ouch ! That crab is nasty, vut you voth had the last laugh 😃.
I also live in the Rockies Greg, just in Colorado.
Thank you Greg

I see she learned how to cast from Greg!!! He follows through with that opposite hand like he is immortal Kombat character throwing a spear or fireball
Fin is AMAZING ❤
Thanks Greg
Another great vid 😊
Hi seen the video of you and Oklahoma fan just a note here in Michigan we use salmon spawn to catch salmon ,rap up spawn in a pink mesh sack ,works wonders hook spawn bag on strong hook,be awesome to see you maybe give it a try ,happy fishing .
Always nice to find a new video from Greg Ovens. I'm having salmon for my supper tonight! Have a great week Greg.
Great video.
great video ....cheers
Gotta come to Australia and do a survival trip here you would love it you be blown out of your brains Of how beautiful this land is
That's funny all you did was eat my fish at my house, we had Mackerel, but that is not my favourite fish. I like dogfish also called catshark ( Scyliorhinus canicula uk South West British Isles) it is an extremely unfussy scavenger, eats pretty much anything if it can find. Worms, prawns, shellfish, crabs and fish, it hunts down. That is why it tastes so good .. Great show Greg...
I had a really bad night it was so endearing seeing that first smile out in the brush hope I can get out there someday love your stuff only been a fan couple months but wholesome stuff appreciate yuh brotha
Greg God bless ya man!
Nice a girl from the USA came up thats cool, to bad you didnt have a boat on hand well like you said always hit and miss from shore maybe Christie can come back and joing ya for another adventure nice that she enjoyed Vancouver island the views are deffiently gorgeouse . And you would have a been an awesome host . nice video Greg keep em coming . Ontario.
Hey Greg! It’s Thursday evening about 9:30 pm pacific standard time and I’m doing my usual scrolling through the KZread feed and your video popped up, it’s an older one but somehow I’ve missed it. I’d like to let you know that what you do is meaningful, it has purpose and you’ve already accomplished a lot. You’re calm attitude is good for a lot of people who would typically be frantic trying to survive in the wild, it’s good to see that a human can live and be happy without all the modern things we have. I love your channel and I love what you do, I just wish we were buddies and could have a good time together
Amazing ♥️♥️
she might not have caught a fish but i bet she got some of my mans special maple syrup
Cheers Greg, hope you landed the fish
Im going to try hot tent winter camping this year here in Quebec. And I have been keeping old lighters as well as new ones with me wherever I venture out into nature because you never know? 💯👍
Another cool video always enjoy the content never disappointed. Have a good day and stay safe Jimmy from North Attleboro Massachusetts
You have a good heart ❤️😊
Go Greg , look forward to these me !
Great watch awesome bud 🍺
I am glad I found this channel! Thank you for the videos, Greg.
Nice guy. Peaceful and real.
It's deadly and beautiful there !
Greg, I think it’s really nice that you do this for certain people especially from Oklahoma because they are definitely landlocked and it’s really nice that you allow people to do this
missing Finley , and no lie the town i was born in is named Finley here down under mate cool name.
Super cute
What a peaceful spot. Thanks for the lovely footage ✌
I love your channel brother, and all the incredible things you get up to. It still makes me laugh watching you cast your fishing pole. Sorry brother!
Love your videos bud
Revenge of the crab. 😊 Great vidio Greg!
Amazing intro!
Blooper at 12:20 Some flexible crabs hey Greg!
Ovens my guy. Love the videos man. Do me a favor though and work on that casting game. Need to see you casting like a pro in the future🤣👍🤙
Absolutely love the sound of those waves coming in
Hi Greg. First I love watching your videos. You’re a true survivor man. Have you worked for TLC or Labour Unlimited? I swear maybe 15 years or 17 or 19 years back, I can’t exactly remember, you worked for me on a site either in Vancouver or Victoria, but I think Vancouver like The Max or Sterling or theme of a couple of others who worked on. I was with Ledcor and ITC. I just somehow recall a fella younger who said that’s what I like about you Shane. You just say it straight. Something like that. I heard you say something similar in a video with maybe Amos or Zackery and for some reason it sparked a distant memory. Maybe I’m totally wrong, but I have to ask. 😊
Can’t wait for this to release. Looks like a great episode just off the thumbnail!
Boisen berry's there yellow then they turn red later in the season. Much Love 💕🙏🕯️📖📚👑✝️
Greg is the most solid dude I've never met.
Parabéns Guerreiro 👏👏
What a coincidence I'm having Pork Steak for dinner here in a bit! AKA Boston Butt Steaks good stuff!!
Greg your a legend watch all of alone and your where favourite and also Callie Russell she was a mad cat
What an awesome date Greg. I knew you were a Casanova 🐸🍺🔪🔥
Salmon berries are my favorite. I own land right across the straight from you in Joyce Wa and I get a ton of them.
I am very jealous. I would love to meet you one day and do something awesome. Heck I would just be happy to shake your hand and pet Finn.
love how the crab that pinched got cooked first ahahaha love all your videos!
