one of the few channels in existence worth the wait....Stoked for another one!

I like that little girls attitude. "If we build it, he will come." Like Mr. Ovens is a forest spirit or something.. I can honestly say I'd always share my fire with Greg. Genuine individual, class act, and a real OG when it comes to bushcraft. If you've never heard his story I suggest you look into it. When he says he has been doing this his entire life he isn't joking. I know he shared it on Mr. Fowlers channel once.

@@kylethedalek From the very little that I know... I think you can boil salt water to make it drinkable. I think the trick is, is to actually not drink what was boiled, but to drink the condensation from boiling. To get the condensation, you put something at the top of the boiling salt water, and then you somehow gather the pooling droplets at the top, maybe let it drip into another container. For the 2nd question, I think that also applies? Don't quote me on that, it's just what I think.

The addition of Fin makes this channel 100x better already!

Stand up guy with a heart of a giant. 👍

Hello from Russia Greg! Do you have an "eversion" tree there? In the Taiga, we make very warm shelters out of these. Great content, nice to see!

Your a sweet man Mr. Oven. Fin is getting so big!

This man does so much for us. Let’s appreciate that today. We love you Greg, keep up the good work

That was OUTSTANDING GREG, that's y I say you're true to our nature!!!GOD BLESS.

Greg Ovens is the epitome of a true outdoorsman. He can survive with the least of supplies.

Hey Greg, I have been a fan for a long time now. I just want to say, even if you were not doing survival/bushcraft things, many people would still love watching you. You are such a great, humble, intelligent, and kind human being. Keep up the great work! Love you stuff, and I love you.

Aww .... Greg, Thanks for sharing the story of Stephanie and her precious little Amber, collecting firewood in hopes you'll show up to enjoy the fire with her and Mom. You need to make that happen. What a wonderful vid that would be. : ) Love that Findlay is learning to collect firewood, sometimes chawing on it Lol, sometimes delivering it to you. What a Great Pal he is.

I appreciate that you don't swear in these videos! Thank You! Mr. Greg

I miss youre long Survival Adventures like the 30 days with Zack

When I was a lot younger I would do a lot of survival backpacking trips, and the method I would use was to look for fire wood in areas the rain couldn't reach, never thought of finding it in the trees themselves. Learn something new every day.

I don't know why I check to see how long the videos are. They're never long enough.

Greg Ovens certifiable legend! Love the content man your the best

if he says boil, we boil.

Wish I knew about greg earlier, loaded with good info and tips through all your videos, down to earth and your love for the outdoors. A top outdoors KZread channel forsure!

Me and my wife love watching your vids Gregg since the 30 days challenge..love fron Philippines🙂

Hey Greg have you considered doing the lost hunter idea like the wooded beardsman did? Or lost fisherman? You, Zach, and the wooded beardsman, I love all 3 of ur guys shows I'd love to see you do those survival ideas too

It seems like all German Sheppard’s love chewing on wood, every one I’ve ever seen has an obsession and will take it with them wherever they go. Another great video Greg!

Gordon here , I work a trapline and I also use my canoe or boat as shelter ,But I prop the boat or canoe up a little so the fire reflexes heat down on me and I use green spruce brows to make a soft mat to lay on .Like I put length ways then cross ways and do several layers to make soft bedding to lay on and keep the cold off of my body. It helps with a sleeping bag and also gives a fresh smelling bed to lay on.

who thumbs down this flawless wholesome content??

When I visit friends they always have to show me the most recent pics of the family they've taken. When they come to my house I show them Greg Ovens videos. Guess which one is most fun! Thanks Greg!

These are the type of fundamental life skills we should be teaching the younger generation. Sadly instead it is to rely on the system. Thank you so much for being authentic about real skills and not faking finding 100% of your food, but also showing how to catch food and prepare it as well. You bring so much hope and positivity in the most grim circumstances and find a way to just live and love sustainably. I hope to make this my lifestyle in the next 2 years with the same attitude and skills I’ve learned from you. Thank you twice over.

Hi Greg- you inspire me so much to get out there - I’m a 58 year young female that is used to hiking/camping solo in the Adirondack Mountains nearby in NY and Ive learned so much from you.Thanks- you are amazing!

I usually don’t watch videos longer than 15 minutes because most channels don’t keep my interest that long, but this one does. I enjoy every single one of your videos 👍🏻

Fantastic. You and Findley are looking happy. Mr. Fowler, your production work is ALWAYS outstanding.

Bless you Greg. Great video. I showed my 11 year old nephew some of your videos just today! When he comes down to mine next we’re putting up a tarp in my garden, going into some local woods to collect wood and the stuff we need to make fire using a bow drill. Then we’re going to make the fire in my garden and cook steak sandwiches. You’re an inspiration to so many. Thank you.

Lots of soul this man has..seen alot and knows kindness. A good man obviously

Greg seems like such a solid dude.. keeping the greg name pure👍👌

Hi Greg! Greetings from Los Angeles, California, the human megalopolis ! Having only gone camping once in my life, there is a deep urge inside of me to connect to nature and do the awesome bushcraft survival things that you do greg! Keep up the great work this video was amazing i felt pure joy and bliss watching those shots of the lake and sunset.. Respect Greg! Keep it up wishing you great health and prosperity..

Hey, you should see if you can get a small portable Berkey water filter system. They make a small stainless steel quart one that might be neat to see you test out. You can put any water (river, lake, swamp) in there except salt water and it will clean it safely (technically you can put salt water through and it will clean it, but it will just be clean salt water, cause it does not filter salt). No need to boil or use tablets or anything. Filters last for decades, and just need cleaning every couple of months of active use. I would be interested in seeing you put the filter to task in the environments you venture out into. I just like to see people running that filter through all sorts of muck and still getting a good drink (though you will have to clean it more if you try to stick mud through it, but I would still enjoy watching you do it). It is kind of fun to watch, I think. And if it works then maybe you will take a lighter, and a portable Berkey system everywhere you go ;). Or, if it does not work, you will have a good video warning people about taking a Berkey out for camping and such. Win, win.

Didn't think Ovens videos could get any better but, then came Finn. Yesterday I watched one and was inspired to go for a hike. It was awesome.

The most kind humbling you tuber ever and helps with real life and survival

Mr Ovens. What an utter legend. Maybe not the fastest to get round to emails but what the hell he reads them and they matter to him. What a totally awesome bloke. I really hope that "if we stack up enough wood Greg Ovens will appear" becomes a thing. That is just the mist insanely awesome thing I've heard in a while

Your the best Greg!! Props to you. Learned so much knowledge and glad you have a partner in crime to help along the way. Thanks again and keep them videos coming!👍🏻🔥

Hey Greg, Can we expect some 30 Days Challenge with you and Zach again soon ? I really liked you guys handeling challenges and living day by day in a survival experience, maybe somewhere abroad where you both might be out of you element, to spice things up a bit ! Huge fan here, keep up the nice video's specially the ones where you show the traps you make.

Thank you, Mr. Ovens. That was GREAT! Can't wait for the boiling water w/out container episode!

I just wanted to say that you are one spectacular human being, there is so much to learn from watching you on top of the survival and bushcraft. I aspire to be as genuine and down to earth as you!!
