One Armed Bow Drill Fire
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 окт 2024
- Greg shows us his preferred method in starting a friction fire with a bow drill, which only requires the use of one arm. If you’re in a REAL survival situation, there is a good chance you are conserving energy, if not injured. This method gives you the tools and strategies that will make it easier to start a fire in these dire circumstances.
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.

DID I JUST SEE AN ELEPHANT SAUNTER ACROSS IN THE BACKGROUND?!? You never know what Greg is going to show us next. Love your videos, man!
Yes you saw what appeared to be an African Elephant lol.
I was just listening but looking away from the screen for a bit. I looked back up and there was the elephant. I was like, wait what did I miss? Did he go to the zoo? I need to pay better attention!
We need answers on the elephant 😂
It's his Pet......some of us have dogs...Greg has a pet elephant.....
Eso es un mamut.
Se extinguieron hace unos 6000 años, pero Greg tiene al último.
Dang this kush is AWESOME... seen an elephant in the distance..!!!
Dude you saw it too wooooow.This is good stuff.
Random elephant wtf
@@maverick4462 ya I thought...go on and give me a QP of that....
Hahaha the mammoth in the background was awesome lol. How many of us went back 10 seconds to rewatch that? LOL
We need a Greg Ovens the movie.
it would be called "drywallin': the greg ovens story"
Survival adventure?
I’M WRITING MY CONGRESSMAN IMMEDIATELY.
Another possible title: Full Baked: Greg Ovens on 450
So glad I stumbled across Greg's channel a few weeks ago!! Wish I found it earlier!! Having a blast going through and watching all his vids. 👍👍
Awesome! Thank you!
T
I have watched dozens of friction fire videos and this is my favorite. This is because he mentioned 1) Four woods for hearth boards, 2) That dry wood, but not to dry, is important for hearth boards, 3) Failure is a part of the learning process, 4) That different parts of the same hearth board can be good or bad for our purposes, 5) That a dry work surface is important and several things to use under all ones' tools, 6) Cutting wood away under the notch on the hearth board (First I heard of doing that) , 7) To put a moisture barrier under wet foot wear. Many other videos mention none of these things or but one or two.
Forget how i found you but ive watched every minute of every video youve ever uploaded. World needs more Greg Ovens!!!
Love when I can watch back to back premiers with Zach and Gregg.
Greetings Ovens from Australia, you're a genuine source of vital information and know how level of survival techniques. You possess a very rich body of knowledge, a great asset regards bush life skills, with you in the team in only a couple of days we're not roughing it as much as the vast majority would be without you. Your skills are highly valued here in the outback of Australia and are considered a vital part of anyone's toolkit should anyone think to venture out into the Australian bush. Always interesting adventures with you, excellent tutorials. All the best from here in Australia.
Atta boy Greg! My wife and I love your videos. We loved the mammoth in the background. Lol!
Hey Greg! Fellow dry waller/mudder here. I love watching you show off your survival skills! Thanks for the videos- I am jealous of all the time you get enjoy in the wild!
You are original. Love your clumsy self knowing I'm not the only one. Love your 30 day challenge in the Rockies.
You are a wonderful guy. Thank you. (I do all this stuff too, since about 11 y.o.). Took it up a notch with a homestead in Sutherlin Oregon, no electric for 7 years, 20 years ago, read by candle light.... Love you bro.
Greg you are very good at mentioning the details that a lot of others leave out! For example you mentioned that you have to use dry wood for your bow construction! Thank you!
I never get tired of watching your videos! You put so much hard work into everything you do and it’s greatly appreciated! Keep up the great work!
I always knew the basics of a bow drill but you went in depth on things to help me out better! Thx dude
HI FROM MAINE!!! I TOO HAVE WATCHED EVERY EPISODE! SO GLAD RUclips IS WORKING OUT FOR YOU AND HOPEFULLY YOU ARENT STILL DOING THAT BACK BREAKING WORK! TAKE CARE💗💗💗
That little wedge tip is not something I’ve seen before, thanks for sharing it. So simple and logical, but it never occurred to me.
Saw one of those posts on Facebook “You’re stranded in a post apocalyptic world. There is only you and the person you last watched on TV/Device etc., how screwed are you?” I posted “[Greg] Ovens Rocky Mountain Bushcraft on RUclips. I’ll be more than fine!”
I’m really looking forward to more plant videos. Many of the plants you show grow in the hills near where I go in the bush in Southern BC. Looking forward to looking for them when I get to go next!
I don't know why you don't have 1M subscribers yet. I predict you will be there in less than a year. Great channel.
Down an arm and still out there? Subscribed for life . Love your work Greg Ovens!
The most rugged channel has the best video quality.. the times we live in...
Thank you for another excellent video. You are a wealth of knowledge. Stay safe, stay healthy and keep up the great job you do. Keep living your dreams.
Thanks Greg for sharing. I really enjoy your knowledge on plants. I’ve been working on knowing my plants in the past ten years, mostly the medical plants. Food plants is my weakness and needing to physical touch and test them myself. I have a friend that Thought he knew his mushrooms and made a bad call and ended up in the hospital over it. I’m not sure what he ate or even what though he was eating. He’s embarrassed of the or deal. Being cocky can get you in trouble quick. Knowing every detail of a plant is very important. So thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Cool back yard zack has. Even comes with elephants.
Good video Greg. Watching all of them.
You’re awesome Gregg!
Great video!!! Each one gets better than the last one! Stay safe!!👏👏👍
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟Great job!!!
Best friction fire example I have ever seen great job boys Keep them coming love this guy
Thanks a lot Greg, I learned many things watching your videos, everybody say the same thing in the commentaries, we all agree your are a very nice guy,.. Charisma and good will, your footprints is the way, Bro'.
Just watched you on Alone! My 6 year old loves you! He was so impressed that someone that looks like his papa is a wilderness man! You have sparked his interest in the out doors. We have scheduled our first camping trip for this december!
Youre videos are one of the best parts of my day when I just wanna chill and learn. Keep em coming! Youre doing a great job!
You are the first one the net to do this . I saw you use a log on your other vid. I have yet to try it . I give you a thumbs up.
I may be stoned but I thought I seen an elephant with tusk walking in the background
dude i thought so too
Drunk an stoned here!! And im sure i seen the same thing lol
Best thing ive ever seen
Damn I Saw An Elephant
Same
Yeah, Greg: SMOKE EM IF YOU GOT EM!😊😊 What I am learning from you (beginning with ALONE)...a guy can be fit and know his stuff...and even 'LIVE THE LIFE' and longer-term outdoor survival is still full of problems. Beginning with ALONE, I have been following you: great skills; even greater presenter of information and a guy who knows how to share outdoor experiences.
Great video,Greg! Very informative as well. Thanks!!
You're so smart and knowledgeable about everything
Wonderful video. So many great hints. Thanks for sharing.
Nice tips Greg. I like the wedge in the notch technique. Thanks for sharing.
Gotta wonder who in their right mind would give this thumbs down. Keep doing what you do best Mister Ovens.
Good to see the Canadian elephant's makin a come back!
I watched the missing 411 videos of that guy ..dave paulides .. Do i have to worry about you.... No sir... You are in your elements and you are in my opinion the luckiest man on earth... You love what you do ... I dont know where is your family what you do for living but one thing is certain from my perspective... Regardless of all the troubles you may have faced you made it... Kudos!
Great video, this will be great for people to learn from an expert.
Cheers from Newfoundland and Labrador Canada
OMG! Greg had an accident? Who would have thought!!! Bush ballerina lol.
That was a good practical demonstration, made to look easy by years of experience.
Great ideas! I really enjoy Greg, thank you!
Brilliant! Never seen this before. Using the logs weight to hold the drill shaft will also give you consistent friction this is a terrific idea even if you can use both arms.
Nice job! Got it on your first try! Like the idea of using a wedge to catch the ember.👍
Awesome video man. Never quit. Your videos are really great and informative. All tid bits I can add to my arsenal in my brain of ideas if I’m ever in a survival situation.
If they really loved you they would already know! Is it the tree on top!? Love you Greg! More videos!!! 💯❤
U and Fowler make a great team and I bet yall great friends
Great Video Earthling Bless Up
Just when I'm watching carefully for a clear shot of bigfoot to walk by, the elephant has to steal the show.
A Woolley mammoth would sure be a welcome visitor to Maine if it boosts the visitor numbers 😂 Jurassic park style Greg Ovens
Very smart and educational thanks Greg😎🦅
Thanks for the entertainment. The elephant was a nice touch.
Great video watching from northern New Brunswick Canada
This technique is genius. Good to see you again Greg... 😃🍺
Now that's a great video keep em coming, Greg! love this stuff.
I always like Greg idea ....awesome.... 👍

Looking forward to watch more videos of you in the bush 😘😘😘
I love your channel Greg, ive learned so much from you and your videos, so much that youve motivated me to learn more about the outdoors and the plants that are essential to a survival situation. Thank you very much i love your videos!! Keep it up!
I appreciate that!
O! Man , that tune is gooood!!!!! and with the mamooooooth in the background . Cheers guys.
This was a good one!

Greg, Ive watched all your content. We need more! Also, many of us would buy your book to support you. So write it!
Sharing all your shows, bud. Like your new boat
The one time I NEEDED to start a fire in wet weather, I'm looking in all the "right" places, then I spot a tree with a big ground level crotch! what an easy job that was! Full of dry tinder and kindling! Afterwards, I thought "Dang, I just stuck my hand there, never thinking about how many spiders and other critters could have been in there." LOL!
Nice touch with the elephant at EXACTLY 4:20. Also, great video in general :D
Legendary! Thanx Greg.
Greg you're the best ! Looking forward to more.
Great video ! That is a good idea for a bow drill ( one handed) . I’m going to have to see if I can do this . It’s got me thinking “the what if’s” . It’s a good thought to have . Thanks ! Can’t wait to see more videos ! Stay safe
Thanks for the video!
Zach is freaking awesome with those animations

Can I take this idea for making fire at my Bushcraft camp?
Brilliant! a one handed bow drill.
That was awesome, thanks Greg.
I died when he breathed in the smoke at the end and then said he wasn't going to start a fire because he didn't need a fire. haha

He has a monthly paid subscription option via RUclips if you'd like to support him and get some bonus content. Look for the "Join" button in the description. I did it, we need to get this guy away from the drywall and out in the bush where he belongs.
The wedge is a nice touch too.
