- @amosrodriguezsurvival challenged Greg to a NOT Walmart Survival Challenge and he gladly accepted! After grabbing a few select items from a locally owned small business, Greg and Finn hike into the bush for an overnight adventure. The challenge was also extended to @TheWoodedBeardsman and @FowlersMakeryandMischief, so be on the lookout for their videos too!
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.

"Hi, I'm Greg Ovens, and this is Oven's Rocky Mountain Bushcraft." Can't tell you how happy I am every time I see a post from Greg. Even a campfire and story time with Greg would be enjoyable. Or a buy and cook on the campfire.
Aa😊
3rd person?
mybe he will purpose to u tomorrow and u can hug him everyday
@@user-tb1ho6cv6p Hard to decipher what you are saying when you can't spell. Had to read what you wrote twice before I understood what you're trying to say. You have a vivid imagination. Perhaps you should follow your interest in creative writing. Just learn how to spell first. It'll help your readers. 100% troll.
Won’t eat a mouse but will eat a frog, ya wanna think about that
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. If you know anything about the outdoors and how things work than you already know how precious these videos are. Go ahead and watch all the other big names which I won’t mention cause they are All good outdoorsman but Greg has the touch that they are all missing. If you watched him with the battery then you will see he didn’t cut away and use a lighter. He showed you that it sucks but it can be done and I bet that whole thing took him and hour or two just to make a two minute fire starting sequence FOR HIS WATCHERS.Think about that! I can do all this but I surely can’t record it while getting eaten alive by mosquitoes and I don’t think many have the patience to do so🤷🏼This is the best you will see on you tube for outdoor survival skills by a long shot!!!
@@Yesindeed126 on the run?
Support local business! It keeps the common man’s economy flowing! This is a cool trend, I saw Amos’s video too
Yea the local businesses where I live are expensive as hell
@@ChillionaireThat's everywhere, local businesses can't afford to buy stock in bulk to get it cheaper like Walmart for example can. They ruin local businesses and take a lot of the money out of your area. That's why you should support the local businesses instead.
@@LexyThomas134 can’t afford to
@@Chillionaire Yeah, I understand that
And pay cash...resist the CBDC
My dad and I would go to a nearby pond. We’d gig frogs all night long. Daylight we’d go home and clean them and put them in salt water to soak. Mama would roll them in egg and corn meal and fry them. Some of the best eating for basically free!
Thats awesome!
Any kind of frog? We don't have a lot of bull frogs where I live. I've never tried them but I would like to.
@@hubrisnaut research edible frogs in your area. Some are poisonous.
That's how it's done 😎
Bushcraft is an art, and you sir, are an artist.
$12 for 5 frog legs. I didnt know they sold for that much lol we used to catch and cook them all of the time growing up, we'd eat about 30, 40 sometimes even more of them a piece haha that'd be almost $400 worth of frog legs haha
Hey Greg just a quick tip on using the steel wool and battery for fire starting. Use a larger piece of steel wool , about half fist size will work great. That way when you touch the battery to it the steel wool will run hot longer giving you more time to light your tinder.
Hey Greg, just wanna say “Thank you” for sharing Fin with us all! After losing my dog this last year (old age), it helps me so much to see goofy and lovable Fin! It heals me truly, give Fin some pats on the head for me!
Much love and blessing - Devin!
I was itching just seeing all them mosquitoes, I can only imagine how irritating it was starting your fire dealing with them buggers. Another great video Greg! You and Finn keep up the great content!
@GregOvens is this real? Ive gotten another one of these from another content creator i like to watch.
I will zubb yall
Watch out for these scams was not me
@@OvensRockyMountainBushcraft thanks Greg I appreciate it, I figured it was probably a scammer. Take care
Same. You could hear those mosquitoes very wel
I live in rural Maine and I can't fathom how the natives lived here during the height of mosquito season. They are brutal and maddening. I believe they made for the coast. Some say they slathered themselves in bear fat. One item I would have bought is bug spray with lots of deet in it. It's the only thing that works.
Hey Greg, Been waiting for another vid, seems like a while! Miss'n-Ya/Mug, & Funny Personality! Great to see Fin, always taking care about you too! He, I remember my bro-eating my pet Bull-Frog-Charlie, when I went to Campfire-girls-camp! We used to froggig, thoughout/rivers! Yes, freshies, Do-Jump in the fry-pan, while cooking. (❤'d-M) Yep-chickn! 😋, actually, tastier! Ohh, dear-please, don't suffer anymore, get some repellent! ?(nothin-naturale, round there)? Don't the stinging nettles Sting you? (They surely did me) Never feel that you need to do this for us, as I wouldn't want that misery, 4 No-Thang-Period! (Been/There)! You understand. Get that Smokey going! Sktrs/Bugs! Hope you are doing okay/that! Terribly rough in your GEORGES Neighborhood!
I know you sacrifice one for another, doing what ya do! Big-Boy-wupper's-Fin, is still suprising you with gifts! 😊,
You got some good looking trout, but was it enough for you! 😅, but, tru! GBU.,SM.,NZ., 👍♥️😉🙏
Love your videos - I always learn something new. Thanks for all the hard work you put into them.
Greg
Come to Alaska 🎉
Sure do enjoy your homely attitude and simple methods of basic and very important life skills❤
Also the experiences you share through it all in a calm respectful courteous manner!
All around humble and down to earth man ❤❤❤
My boyfriend and I love watching your vids Greg. Whenever we go camping and forget something vital we’ll always say something like “we just have to think like Greg” and we always figure something out. Like the last time, I forgot extra tent pegs for our tarp so we just whittled down some sticks and they lasted us the whole week’s stay!! Best survivalist around
"Think like Greg” and camp next to a Walmart.
think like greg
@@GeorgeMcfly55 ... His favorite place to buy things for a "survival" challenge.
My son went to work inthe oil fields and so many men amped in the wall
MArt parking lot
I think that’s pretty generic us of them!
loved the video. would really like to see more with wild edible plants though. like forage and cook etc
He did point out that the nettles would be edible. Without a pot to blanch them they might have been more trouble than they were worth though.
@@AwesomeFish12 yea that’s true
Finn was probably reminding you that you could use a piece of the thong for a float. Not that you need it there but you never know. I guess you could also use a piece of a stick, which explains a lot of his actions.
I like the idea of using a bic lighter to start fires. I've dug them out of dry mud after they've been thrown away and sat in the sun for who knows how long after they were thought to be used up. You can depend on them to light up at least another 8-10 times.
Thank you, for all the great adventures. I am 70 yrs and have enjoyed this type of thing all my life. Watching you and others gives me new things to learn while watching. I love it !!!
Please do a Sasquatch shirt with your face and hair on his body.
You nailed it buddy. Fort - Fire- Fish - Finn and a positive vibe thru out makes you a weiner! cheers 🍺🍺🍺from Nunavut.
Looked like a fun challenge minus the skeeters. So nice to catch a couple fish. Many thanks to you and Finn.
Editor fail, skip the music loop please and thank you.
Greg, you should always carry a multi tool with you at all times. If you don’t have one , I’ll send you one.
My old friend Kathy and I had been fishing all day. Came back to prepare our fish when she looked at me and said, are those bull frogs I hear?
Yes....we lived on a golf course at that time. She and I took the golf cart out and all we had to do was shine the headlights on them. They froze! Needless to say we also had a bunch of awesome frog legs that night!! 😋
Doesn’t seem like anyone mentioned this yet but if you need to, it is possible to eat stinging nettles raw, just crush them up a bit first. It’s much more valuable than “just another wild edible to survive” too. I grow a patch at home and have a number of wood nettle foraging spots; it’s valuable as heck to me.. Grateful for your knowledge sharing Greg. 🌍☮️
Thank you Greg my son is 8 and we injoy watching you we learn alot from you :)
Great video Greg! You break everything down so simple for folks. Truly enjoy the content you put out!
Hi Greg. Love your channel. I’m not 100% sure if it’s ok to feed your dog food that’s been cooked in garlic because it contains Thiosulphate which is toxic to dogs. Onions and many other things we eat are not safe for dogs. You may want to research that before throwing food at that gorgeous dog of yours.
Im lived in Vancouver and Victoria and worked in construction for many years. Im also an outdoors enthusiasts, not as hardcore as you however.
Keep up the amazing videos and sharing your stories. Very interesting.
Sorry, not a fan of Fords because I don't ever want to be stuck in the woods with a deer in the back and a bear chasing me down the road. LOVE YOUR SHOWS.!!!
This should teach others to buy a reliable vehicle. Think of how many lives will be saved from hypothermia.
Maybe get sponsored by Chevy Silverado.....?????
I think I’ll give the Not Walmart challenge a go!
The use of Hornets and wasp nests in war is the first example of biological warfare. People besieging castles/forts and the like. Lobbed them over the walls! Also... do encourage your dog more when he brings you foreign items. You never know what he'll bring you! Good job though. Damn those mosquitos!
Yes a smoky fire will scare off the mosquitoes. I found out when I lived wild in Scotland. Martin London England
@ 5:04 Man that is sacrilege...
Me;... take off the heat;... then eat straight out of the Pan or what ever I'm cooking in...
1 (One) less implement to wash up afterwards...
Greg, you're the bushcraft Fabio of the Rocky Mountains! 🤗💞
A shot of "wine" maybe it is just because I'm not from Canada but we don't call that "wine" in Colorado, we call it whiskey.
Feels like there is a great opportunity for a collaboration between Greg and a Car-RUclipsr. Set Greg up with an off-road vehicle than WILL not fail… would watch! :)
4 items of my choice would be:
1. Tent
2. Lighter
3. Hot dogs
4. Water
Put a small piece of RED tissues (like a piece of a red tshirt or towel) on a hook and catch unlimited frogs. They LOVE the red color and I catch batch of 20+ frequently with a fishing pole and a small piece of a red tshirt on a fishing hook. Easy. I cook them in garlic butter like you did they are fantastic.
Q: What's one thing that no fish can say?
A: Yesterday, I was hooked by Greg Ovens and then tossed back.
If people ever came into my house and live in my house they'd get a shock'cause I have a loaded 22 sitting right beside my bed and I can't say if it was a rifle or a pistol but I'm sure you can guess which one it is
You might be a frogger to the Yeti or Bigfoot
Those fungus is growing on those trees make good mosquito repellent if you burn them they they keep the mosquitoes away my wife is Indian and that's what they use
I got a mama raccoon and babies dug out under my wooden garbage bin. It’s cute but it turns out it wasn’t the seagulls ripping my garbage bags open…
The Mozzies get bad here in Australia but from what ive seen you get way more explosive populations in the higher lattitudes of the Northern hemisphere. They seem to be more numerous, opportunistic and bloodthirsty in the short window they have to feed.
Enjoyed this adventure, Greg!
Couple things.
The steel wool trick works great, but you more or less use a chunk about half the size of one pad, slightly fluffed. It burns a bit longer.
And I thought you where using the teepee as home base for awhile. What became of that?
Finn is trying to tell you there’s more mosquitoes than he can shake a stick at.
Great video as always. You should do a frog legs catch and cook
It is a sad day when Greg defiles the sounds of nature with elevator music in the background.
Try nettle roots, like a horizontal yellow carrot. Let me know what you think. Boil or roast.
Damn… Didn’t know frogs were THICC like that 🥵🤤
Greg you should start a "survival school" I'd be your first student.
As I hear the Mosquitoes I start Swatting them away I though they where really flying around my ears lol
700k subs and poor Finn is still eating Pedigree.
I'm guilty of raising several hunting dogs on Pedigree before realizing it's mostly filler and grain based. They did just fine but now I opt for better quality. I've also seen Greg feed him many a $15 steak so I think his nutritional needs are being met better than a lot.
Greg thx once again for another great video. Loved watching it. Keep supporting those local businesses!!! Looking fwd to your next adventures.
Are you sure you’re not thinking of Squatters? Instead of Froggers?
Make sure you don't feed your dog garlic! it's toxic to them.
Overnight is piss weak. 3 night minimum for a challenge.
i'm slapping at ghost mosquitoes in my office watching this video
Good on you for taking up the challenge. I watched Amos’s and wondered if any of you guys would accept. 👍
Crazy you can hear the pestle bugs that would drive me nuts
Super cool vid. Looked like a beautiful creek. Fin is definitely a bit spoiled, I've never seen a dog turn down frog legs 😂
Prefers the pedigree from the can :p
@@AwesomeFish12 prefers $30 steaks
I could never be one is those people who nest in other people's homes... I snore too much
Lol
Absolutely love your humor!!
“Look like a bunch of bums hanging out “ 😂
You get me laughing by myself so much just when i need it ❤❤❤
You're are not a real survivalist if you don't eat mice rats dog and cat
Get a local mechanic to go look at your truck. Or drag it to a local shop.
Thanks for another great video. Did you reset/check the fuel pump saftey shut off switch on on your explorer trac?
Yes I did
Great video Greg. if you peel bark off standing cedars, usually it is totally dry and also has oils in it that make it catch fire easily. Plus it is powdery. Even in the rain, the under bark of the cedar will be dry. Your dog is very cute :)
I used to gig frogs at this pond that was on the farm I worked on. Try it and do a video on that. Love you, Greg.
Wish I was with you. I use to get .y own frogs when I was a kid.
How'd you grow that beard out so fast Greg? that's atleast a week from when you ate the frogs legs up until you did the challenge, not a day.
I think I said I was trying to get a truck on the road for several days.
Switch Finn to dry food it's better for you and him in cost plus protein. Love your shoes and Finn
He gets dry food too
What happend to the nissan pathfinder that you had?? 9:39
Hi Greg,
My family, and I absolutely love watching your adventures with Finn in the bush, as well as learning new skills that we could all practice, the next time we head out into the wild.
Thank you for being such a great person to learn from! One last thing, we are sorry to hear of your vehicle problems, and if you're in the market for another vehicle, we don't know if you might be interested with possibly taking a look at the Toyota brand?
The vehicles that Toyota makes just seem to last a very long time, especially the ones from Japan!
Take care, and happy trails!
good stuff
Now a challenge with only 4 household items.
How many days did you last on the TV show alone?
Your blue truck. Replace the fuel filter..
I went to my dad's hunting partners house one night when I was a kid. He had a whole platter of chicken the table.... he said try one. I did. It was excellent. Then he told me it was 🐸. In California we have frogs 10 to fifteen pounds. Huge!!! Any way..I love this video. Keep on going...I watch you every day 😊
HEY GREG, THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR BUSHCRAFT KNOWLEDGE, BEEN LOOKING FORWARD TO ANOTHER OUTDOOR ADVENTURE ,YOUR THE BEST, FINALLY AFTER A COUPLE WEEKS YOU PUT OUT ANOTHER, WHICH AMOUNTS TO YOU BUYING FROGLEGS AND COOKING THEM IN THE WOODS😢,COME ON...REALLY? WHATS UP? DID YOU GO BACK TO DRYWALLING OR WHAT?? SNAP OUT OF IT
Frog jumps at 32 min 54 secs ?
I hear you brother same here fix fix fix lol
Why don't you use insect repellent?
Perseverance must be your middle name, Greg. ... My dad cooked frog legs for us once when I was a kid. They were delicious! We have little to no mosquitos this year, so far, in S.E. Ontario. We still have a province wide fire ban though. Your videos are always a treat to watch. Keep 'em coming!
You sound like ernie from Sesame Street
I remember bush craft expert Ray Mears and a friend, theorizing what Iron Age man, may have eaten to survive, and one plant was the stinging nettle, they tested the theory by simply toasting the tips of the nettles (marshmallow style) over a campfire. I also tested this myself and was amazed how little effort it took to get rid of the acid in the leaves, interesting stuff, keep it up!
😂 those look more like frog butts😂
My new favourite phrase I learned from Greg that I drop into every conversation “now were styling!” 😂
Great challenge Greg. Very entertaining and educational. Great fishing too. Cheers mate from Aust
Excellent outing Greg!
Got my Tshirt last week, really nice design!
No way would I ever eat a frog.
I love your show! And your life, Im so jelly I wish I lived your life, out there where I belong. Love it all!
You're the UNCLE we all wish we had
Finn didn't like the wine.
I’m extremely ready to live off grid. I’m pretty good with my survival skills, pretty much just need a place and a few more items to get going. I would like to know if u know where I can go around my area on the east coast. I don’t know of anywhere around here that I can go without trespassing or having to pay something.
Nice challenge! Loved watching this one. ❤ Take care, Greg and Finn! 😊
I have a challenge for you , survive a week as a homeless person in New York during the brutal Winter or very hot Summer
I Loved it, you and Finn are always Great to see
NO SALT AND PEPPER??? YOU ALWAYS NEED SALT AND PEPPER!!! Just saying... Love your content Mr. OVENS😉
Stop buying Ford😢
