You remind me so much of my grandpa. He was a natural engineer. Because he had polio from when he was a kid, he always had to create so many things to help him in his everyday life. We lost him 7 months ago to cancer. I just needed to tell you that I really appreciated this video and it made me feel close to my dear grandpa. And I’m so glad it ended up working! Good for you, Greg!
You brighten my day, laughhhhhhh! I'm 65, grew up mostly in the bush! Man, I miss it, lived in B.C. for 5 years, always hiking, mountains, lakes. that's beauty. Thanks!
I love how Ovens shows you the entirety of the project, unlike other RUclipsrs who cut out their trials and only show their final product. Great Work and amazing channel
I feel like every season of Alone should feature Greg just wandering from contestant to contestant, building some contraption or tool for each of them, like some kind of wandering druid nomad guy.
Bro, as someone who lost their grandparents all of a sudden then regretted not spending more time with them, I just wanna say, even if it’s a boring activity, do it. Sooner or later you’ll give almost anything for one more day.
This guy is awsome.. im doing my first 2 week solo camping trip this week and this man inspired me alot.. I can't afford any of the cameras and stuff at the time.. but one day I'll get there.. I love the invention to.. very creative. I love it
Loved seeing Fin as a puppy I've been going back checking out your earlier content. Congrats on your perseverance and sticking with it. I think the flexible duct was your aha moment!
Hey Y'oll Hippie, From the get go, I get ya, and I'm loving it all. You truly have a gift for the outdoors survival, and comfort. what a creative mind you have. I wish I were physically able to share, or even try to do something similar. I'm disabled with the back, but I feel like I'm right there with you,and I Thank you for sharing your experiences with us all. I'm loving all of it. I am a true fan. GBU.,SM.,NZ. 😐🤔😮🙂❤🤗!
its lovely Zach has really helped this guy build his channle, i like the fact he shows all his mistakes too, seems like a genuine nice guy, good luck to you my brother,,love and contentment from Liverpool,UK class your making money now after so long counting every penny, glad your treating yourself you deserve it,,xx
man greg...beautifully done. a true master at work, you are a true visionary. nothing better from Lake to Pan. watching the fish-o-matic evolve was one amazing thing.
Most people lack an appreciation for the time and effort it takes to go from the idea, to the prototype, to the finished product. Well done here. Stay safe.
A whiiile ago I watched your video for making a blueberry crumble, and now many months later im enjoying this video! Your creativity and persistence are both admirable, plus love your 'backyard' ! Positive vibes from south Boston.
This build is certainly challenging, and your persistence in continuing to make adjustments until it works is very inspirational. I also enjoy the fact that you included simple errors along the way and don’t let your self get discouraged by them. Great video sir, thank you for your effort! I really enjoyed this one
Im so freaking pumped to see that trap work. Love that you stayed dedicated to completing it. Glad to see it from beginning to end. Good ol fish-o-matic.
Love you. Haven’t watched before and I just watched the duel camping/ subscriber teacher/ learner challenge and I love every second of it. Let alone creating and simplifying, and people don’t know what they are made of now adays, even myself. Thank you. Let alone someone catching their first fish. Reeling to the tip because of excitement, gets me all lit up with excitement.
Next version: when the pan gets pressed down by the weight of the fish, the pan's downward movement trigger a spring mechanism to swivel salt and pepper from the left and right side of the pan to season the fish. :) Please make!
- Actually, I was thinking that the oil/butter and seasonings should be already there, but the mechanism that turns off the motor for the reel, also activates a spark trigger to ignite the tinder under the pan, so the fuel doesn't start burning until after the fish is in the pan, and the seasoning and oil/butter will not burn or have to be dispensed. That was what i was thinking would be working better while watching it because otherwise a lot of the fuel could burn away if the fish doesn't catch right away, like say a half hour before it gets a bite, then most of the fuel would be used up and the fire going out.
This was pretty cool to see, especially in the 'trial & error' mode you made this video in. I can't wait to see the greatest version you ever make of this. Great job, Mr Ovens.
❤ This was quite the adventure! The ups and downs, the constant changes and improvements. The evolution was a wonder to behold. I think if I were to improve on this idea, the only thing I'd change is having the fish drop into a container instead of a hot pan. But that's because I don't like the taste of fish guts in my meat. I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Greg is a bushcrafting McGyver! 1 million thumbs up
I worked on projects like this before. I can't imagine the amount of time you actually spent on it. Cuz I know hours and hours and hours. Pretty cool. Man!
21:40 ARE YOU KIDDING ME! Greg, that is amazing ingenuity! Bro!!! Good on you, that was a fantastic think to see! You're awesome man! keep up the good videos! from Ontario, Canada!
Honestly the best thing about your videos is your editing! You are actually amazing at putting together an incredible smooth and fun to watch video. Great job 👍
Greg you made me laugh so much with all the trials & tribulations making your Guillotine fish-o-matic. Where do you find the time? Nothing is impossible in your world. Glad to see the pup growing up & being so happy to be part of your adventures; Going to be a great temperament when fully grown.
I have to comment on this one. You sir are a genius. I live in the Rocky mountains west of Calgary. I do not have your bush craft skills, but if the shtf, you sir will be all right no matter what. Thanks for a good laugh, and some good inspiration.

Only Greg could have 1.2mill views on a video like this. Greg is just an amazing, genuine dude. Not a single thing fake about this dude
Except last fish being alive
As an engineer / outdoors enthusiast, this is my favorite RUclips video of all time! Cheers Greg!
Have you tried Corporals corner as well? He makes some fascinating structures that might interest you
It makes me so happy seeing this man doing what he loves to do
I love how Ovens shows you the entirety of the project, unlike other RUclipsrs who cut out their trials and only show their final product. Great Work and amazing channel
The fact that you are concerned about whether the fish suffers says so much about you and your character...your a good soul my friend.
The blooper was funny and you having the humility to point it out and laugh about the silliness of it was enjoyable to watch.

This is one of the best things on RUclips, I sincerely hope you get millions of subs

Right, I like fish but I was thinking about garlic, chives, basil and pepper etc.
The machine is already amazing, but this is a very funny idea and I think keeps with the spirit of the machine perfectly, 😂

So much more advanced than the original trap. You never stop improving on your ideas. Thoroughly enjoyed.
Wow. I definitely didn't expect it to work at all, but in the end it worked perfectly. Super impressive!
Enjoyed this one as always. Keep up the great work man!!
