I Bushcrafted A Crossbow from Deadwood And My Old Bow

- Greg sets out into the Canadian wilderness with an idea he's had since his first time on History's Alone... Turning his regular recurve bow into an EPIC bushcraft crossbow!
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.

Nothing better than seeing a Greg Ovens video posted !! Just made my Friday night
Greg is a legend
Yep
Wisdom Greg. You have it and that's why I dig your channel.
I love it Greg, “if you don’t like it, watch it anyway”, priceless
The bushcraft inventor Greg Ovens!
I don’t know why Greg isn’t over by 1m subscribers. By far my favourite bush rafter on RUclips.
Cause a lot of people are ignorant
@@MesquiteMan won’t find a more informed bushcrafting Chanel that does real life scenarios than Greg’s. Everyone else does short videos on one thing. Joe robinets good but not as good.
I'm not a hunter but, being a machinist gives me an appreciation for fabrication and engineering. This was very interesting to me. Thanks for sharing.
Had no idea Greg was on Alone AND had no idea Zach Fowler was either let alone both on the same season. Found something new to watch
Not to mention Zach won that season.

I think it's great Greg that you're helping the community as well.
Yay, a new episode of Old Canadian hippy does cool stuff in the woods. Greg is an OG bushcrafter, he was doing this stuff before it was popular.
OG znaczy one great ?
@@adamosantonio1499 og stands for original gangster
@@ryanmiller5535 and sometimes it means just "original"
@@beatnik6806No it doesn’t
I have never been a rich man so there have been a lot of times that I wouldn't have money for something I needed, so I would build it. To this day I still build and I am 71 years young. That"s how I became a metal artist. So I love the videos you do on Bushcraft. I consider anyone that can build for their own needs a self made engineer. You are an awesome teacher my friend.
Brilliant job Greg, well done. Amazing 👍👍
Great idea .Love the trigger mechanism .Well done Greg.
The trigger mechanism with its fork was an unexpected touch.🙂
@@jamesellsworth9673 Indeed it was .Very clever idea .
I'm a little late to this party but I'll comment anyway - I was camping in the backwoods of North Central Idaho and there's no internet here. Summer comes late up here and the temperature dropped below freezing most mornings. Anyway Greg, I always learn a lot about trigger mechanisms from you. The deer still haven't lost their winter coat up here and they don't seem to have any fear of humans. They come into camp every morning and evening at the same time - they seem to be coming down to drink from the creek. Then they'll stand and eat or play just a few yards from my fire with their ears turned down - indicates they sense no danger. They just stand there looking at me. One evening, one of them woke me up - she was licking the sidewall of my tent. Gosh knows what she tasted on it - salt maybe. Oh yeah - there's lots of ticks here. I like seeing the deer around because it indicates there's no bears around. Don't you just love being out in the woods and away from all that concrete!
The idea that you're coming so close to that Bullseye. You get a great job building this.
My Dad knew wild asparagus. We would be cruising down I75 and he would pull over and have me jump out of the car and go pick it!! Sure wish he was still here to do it!!💚
Very happy to see Greg ovens tonight made my day better
nothing like waking up to a new Ovens vid
1:58 that birds all like, "Awe sweet! Greg's talking about plants!"
Greg Ovens is pure rock n roll.
Prop's to the True Canadian Outdoorsman, Love watching and learning, keep it up Greg,THANKS EH.
You have an Amazing Heart and great attitude. So happy to hear and see there are still good hearted people in this hurtful broken world
Gotta remember to like his videos even on a binge lol
Greg .. you have helped me through my struggles and toughest times in my life . I thank you for that and I will always appreciate you my brother
Bloody Good Design Mate!! Nice one!👍 Good trigger system on that! You should publish your trap plans in a book and crossbow ideas!
Your videos are always awesome! Thank you. Not only are they fun to watch,I usually learn something from each video.
Hey Greg; I have missed you man. Have you been making a longer/survival/Vid? Isn't Lamb's Quarter your Fav. Veg., like Spinache? Che'. Now,? Why do you need Hot-Water out in the Garden, /Hanging out back there!? (Shower)? I watch & wait for everything that you do! You Never Disappoint us! Always-Teaching Something New! I Truly Enjoy! Thank You & Fin! GBU.,SM.,NZ., ✌♥️😁🤗👍😎🙏🏞
Hello! I'm watching your video, have a nice day.❤
Hi Greg I love your caring for nature and passion for others its really melts my heart. You are a beautiful soul God Blessed us.
Greg ovens just made first place at the Provincial Science Fair. Great Job Mr. Ovens!!!!!!
Combining my love of the outdoors with medieval weapons ❤️
I lived as a kid in Oyama and picked wild asparagus along the old railroad right-,of-way every spring. Then they sprayed with herbicide one year and there was none left from then on.
They just can't learn the bad effects of that on the environment
This might be the best survival tool you’ve made yet! Awesome awesome work!!
28:20 perfect focus switch 😀 Man, what a cool build and idea! You always come up with cool stuff. I hope you'll show the crossbow in some real action some time. Stay safe, Greg!
Living and surviving with bush craft knowledge.Very innovative.
Thank you for your video tutorials. We're similar in age and I'm ready to change the trajectory of my life in a major way. I'm studying your vids and learning a great deal. Very much appreciated. Take care, stay safe, God bless.
Awesome work. we haven't see that moose hunt yet!
All his videos are fun to watch. Cool cat even under a Mosquito attack. Hey that rhymes 🤪
Was a fun video to watch. Looking forward to the next one!
❤ I love this idea, Greg. Crossbows are simply the "missing link" between bows and portable firearms that perfectly blend the silence and ease-of-use.
Archaeological studies of bones from the Middle Ages show clear proof of skeletal deformities caused by the uneven muscle development of archers, where the drawing arm was FAR more developed than those of the support arm. Crossbows were not only more convenient and simpler to master, but the fact that you didn't need to physically hold a drawn bow at the ready meant that far fewer people had this skeletal deformity after the advent of the crossbow.
And kudos for the creativity of aspect of this build. It may not be a beautifully hewn and polished yew stock with half a dozen coats high gloss varnish, but she works like dream! Beautiful work
Hi Greg from Oroville California! Love your videos.. out on hip replacement and passing the time!
That's a lot of work, I'm impressed :) I couldn't see it when you picked up the branch but wow, look at it now :)
Greg ever since I found ur channel I'm a big fan!! So cool you're a great man with so much wisdom and knowledge to share.. thank you Greg... jordan from north east Scotland.. ❤
Greg's vidoes and a couple of beers are a start to my weekends
Look at all that wood 🪵 those trees 🌳 are so beautiful.
Amazing inginuity props man. Lots of patients and determination
15:55 Greg: "Chicken, ... kind of reminds me of frog legs." 🤣 this is a nice one!
Oh, thats great. Like the trigger. Smart idea.
Throwing an idea out there, I bought 2 pull knives for pulling bark/level planes and curved planes. I think there is a lot of use in them. Just like having a small wood chisel. Saves energy and time= life saver. Rather not make so many mistakes with just a knife and hatchet, but still doable. Awesome Job! I really enjoy woodwork. More branches in small area of wood= strength (for handles or wooden mallet for example).
Good little fire going,cold brew and Greg and fin with the entertainment!! I couldn't think of a better place to be this evening and doing and watching what I love!!
Amazing craftsmanship 😂 fun times ✌️
Great videos lots of wheels will be turning after this one!
Brilliant video thanks George n England 👍
Great Video Idea!!! 10/10
Fun project Greg! Great watching your handiwork!
Me and my jack Russell happy have pretty much every one of your videos... watching from Australia 🇦🇺
you certainly should be happy Greg , great video on wood whittling and BBQ chicken
From the wild garden to the crossbow crossover, you had my full attention at every step. Your videos are always interesting. Have a great week Greg. 🐝
Great video Greg you brought up a great point when you're hungry and you're tired and you're trying to hunt your focus is not going to be as good but that crossbow that you put together really takes a lot of that guesswork out of hunting with a bow good job
I love the concept Greg. I think if you center the bow down your stock your shot will be more on line instead of to the right so far. I think I'll try to make one with mine. Keep up the great videos.
Very fun and insitefull to see.
You are an true bushcraft inventor!
Love your video's ❤
Sick 🔥 , do more of these love your videos
Love what you do Greg ! I'm a frustrated woodsman but in the uk everything's illegal !!!!!! 😐
I always enjoy your fishing videos, and this is one of my favorite videos so far! I hope you're doing well and you're healthy and happy ❤🎉
Another great video, I’m sure it will be! About to start thank you 🙏 ❤
All of you videos are awesome Greg! I’m always excited when I see post a new one. Thank you as always!
Greg, have you ever made tea from the wild asparagus roots? It is known as the flying herb by ancient taoists because it induces dreams of being able to fly.
No have to try it
Greg and his friends are the kindest and most wholesome guys on RUclips, what great guys and what an adventure it would be to spend a weekend with these guys out there surviving off the land that our creator made for us, God Bless you guys and keep doing what you do!
That's amazing! You are so crafty! Very inspirational!
Awesome,I did something similar with my daughter her bow.
Well done
Just keep doing you Greg. Awesome content…..as usual!!
Another great lesson and video. Thank you Greg Ovens!
I bet you would kick ass on the show “alone”
Hay Greg and Fin, another great video,month a go ,Brothers 55 ,surprised him 1st bow and arrows ,liked Your option,always watching,Tanks “A”!
Very cool making a crossbow! Always thought it would be cool to make my own CB!! Keep it coming Greg!
Love your ingenuity. Could save some lives in a near future. Who knows?
Very impressed very impressed and I enjoy watching your videos they are very helpful
Thanks for the uploads Greg. Tried your gravity log fire setup. Didn’t work but was a blast trying. I’ll try this next.
Great video my brother!
Stay safe and keep having fun!
hey there Greg great video i was thinking about doing the same thing thanks for giving me some ideas about how to do it. please make a video of you hunting with your cross bow looking forward to your next adventure thanks
Perty awesome. Looks like a valuable project to know how to do.
Keep up the good work and God bless.
Awesome!!! I had the same idea but we can't hunt with a bow lock unless you're handicapped here!!
Great video greg got to do a another 30 day challenge like those ones right on 🤙🤙
Thanks Greg, great video 👍
Nice. You should turn it up like a bow you could see down the arrow better. Definitely a cool video
Mr. Ovens! Another awesome idea and video. Thanks for all the entertainment you provide us with
Thanx G. O. Great video!
I am impressed, truly. Handy and handsome yes indeed.
You never cease to amaze us mate ..love how you just keep it real and simple you are a true champion to alot of us..thank you mr ovens stay safe brother..
Interesting video Greg, Nice watching how you turned the bow into a cross bow , Your skills are amazing . Ontario.
Love the idea but enjoy being able to actually watch you do these projects in person
Love it Greg! Keep it up man! Stay wild
Absolutely one of my favorites :) Love your videos :)
Hi Greggy. Good to see you.
Right on! Very cool
That thing is bad ass I would add some crosshairs then move it around until it's accurate
Your the man greg!!! Long time fan of the channel!!
I like natural looking things 🤩
Cool project! Thanks for sharing! Can you think of a way to add a smooth, quiet safety? For Finn? Well, plus you don't want it to accidently go off before aiming at the bear! That would be bad...
I've considered this as well for a 55 lbs limbs I have and can't draw reliable after a shoulder dislocation ,,awesome execution ❤️🍻
Wow, you could sell them , it’s gorgeous 🥰 chicken looks yummy 😍
