I don't usually comment on videos, but am concerned about your safety. Love your videos by the way. Always use a sling or chain for attaching to something. Never hook the cable onto itself. It will break right there. Always open your hood on the truck while winching, if the cable breaks, it won't go through your windshield. This is also why you want to stand off to the side as well. Cable won't come straight back at you. Dampen the cable with weight, like a coat, as to force it to the ground as opposed to whipping up in the air. I'd get a couple snatch blocks as well. You'll find all kinds of uses for your winch. Really enjoy your channel and what you do and would really hate to see you get hurt and have to change your way of life that you seem to love so much. Best wishes and stay safe.
Mr Ovens I can not thank you enough for the joy you have given my heart and soul whilst my body is still recovering from a terrible leg injury. Watching you is just wonderful when one can not get out and about. Never change. Love to you and Finn from a lady of 50 in the 🇬🇧 God blessed us with you and may the world bless you darling. X Kindest thanks Greg Michelle
The sticker on the door is GVWR meaning 5,700 lbs is the most the truck and all cargo can weigh safely. That truck is about 4,200 lbs give or take so you can haul 1,500 lbs in it. I’ve learned a lot about the bush from this channel so I thought I’d return the favor with some vehicle knowledge 😆
its great Zacs helping him with the video editing,makes all the difference, Gregs a nice guy he deserves a break, love and contentment from Liverpool UK,xx breaking firewood with a winch only you would think thats a good idea, we know the truth, you just want a excuse to play with your new toy, its very sweet seeing the enjoyment your getting,,xxxx
I've had some rugged camping, meaning being cold and damp, but I always had fire and food. What I've learned from you are ways to better prepare for cold and rain as well as some foraging skills. I still don't feel prepared to survive on my own due to my age and lack of strength (just over 5 foot tall and almost age 70), but with help and luck, I'm pretty sure I could survive thanks to you.
I'd love to be able to share my skills more often, but what draws a crowd is the unmanageable situation, like a messed up log because names are showing.
You blow me away Greg!! You just merged auto maintenance with "glamping"!! You are such a motivator, I love it. We need more people with your work ethic!
@@survivewithjon Hello. Thank you for the opportunity to qualify my comment. I learned how to cook crab. I learned how Greg used the winch on the front of his truck. I learned the difference between disk brakes and drum brakes. Have a nice weekend.
When you said "We're doing brakes tomorrow, Finn" Finn stopped instantly and whipped his head around as if to say "What do you mean 'We', man? You're on your own sucka!" What an absolutely loveable pair! 👍 👍
Greg ovens i been watching you since you started even on the alone series. We have talked over gmail a few times but you have taught me so much and ive came so far in bushcraft because of you
I cannot believe it. I just replaced rear brake pads on my car. Drove for a couple of days heard bare metal on metal and had to do the front as well. Now I'm watching Greg do his. I feel like my life is just one big calliper assembly at the moment! 😅
I cannot wait to camping too! Just as soon as I can get the brake fluid so I can FINALLY GO RELAX and bleed my brakes out in the GREAT OUTDOORS! AWE SO PEACEFUL! lol
Man after my own heart. There is always a way. I love it, bought all the conveniences. Except, the jack, the chain saw, the battery operated power tools. Yup sounds like me. Great video Greg......on your day off. 😁😁
you needed narrower trees. you wedge the log between the trees, and put the cable on one of the outside ends. you get a fulcrum bonus. would take a fraction of the energy required. if i remember i'll make a quick demo video tomorrow and post it.
Grab yourself a couple of 5 or 6 ton Snatchblocks. They will double the pull strength of your winch and it won't have to work as hard. I use a snatchblock and a tree saver strap and they work like a hot damn!
Greg this is one of the best videos you’ve posted , absolutely love this one and would love to go on an adventure like this one and yes I laughed about hauling those trees on your front bumper.
Good to know how to do it yourself changing out disc brakes. Now I am thinking about having crab & steak yum. First time seeing Finn sit still for awhile waiting for his steak dinner 😅 I would too! ❤ your show.
No such thing as glamping. You are just living outside. There is no glamour unless you are wealthy. Ive been on the road a year now. Its not all its cracked up to be. I promise you. There are great moments but there are more hard times, for sure .
If you aren’t out there for the love of the work then just get an apartment and a job. No it’s not glamorous, but staying outside for extended periods of time can be deeply satisfying. Key is to stay clean, bath often, wash your clothing often, and be productive, there is no rest in the bush unless your just visiting from town. You got to love it.
@@wilbertwallace6655I hunt camp and fish in the deep bush lots, just because I’m visiting from my house doesn’t mean that I haven’t forgotten more about living in the bush than all the guys that do it because they don’t want to get a job.
Interesting way to change the breaks in the woods and it works sucks that you had to do it in the snow, winter just doesn't want to leave . , Looked like Finn really enjoyed his steak such a good well behaved boy.Interesting watch Greg Thank you
Greg, I love you man but bro, you have so much followers in content. I don’t understand how you can forget certain items and still be the best bush crafter in the world. I love you bro. I just don’t know how you do it man I love you bro.
Your idea of a day off is much different than mine. I sure in the heck wouldn’t be changing brake pads or thinking about how I left my chainsaw at home to cut firewood… Haha!! You Rock Bro! ☀️🌎☀️
Greg, we always STEAMED THE CRABS, BOILING TAKES AWAY THE FLAVOR. If you clean them first but steam them, the flavor actually gets into the meat better (old bay, that is)
Absolutely love this! I always wanted to know about the daily life of Gregg and Finn when you're not doing challenges or teaching us folk how to survive. Awesome Gregg-thanks.
Would you be able to to a trapping series again, like 7 days in the bush trapping and hunting also -different types of fishing traps!?!? Best regards from the u.k 👍😎
Hello Greg/Finn!! The snow is beautiful! I love a gentle falling snow! I have changed a water pump, starter, alternator, spark plugs, fuel filter, oil/filter and of course tires, (a cheater bar would have made taking nut’s off easier ) I’ve never done break pads, I didn’t realize how easy they r to change, thanks for showing me how it’s done! Thank u
This was a great video, I love the simplicity of the day to day and its cool seeing the brake pad replacement, all necessary components of living independently.
Thanks for that refresher course on doing this Breaks. I really appreciate it and the night before when you had the crab and steak and you hanging out with the dog that’s just awesome. Keep doing what you’re doing Greg, We appreciate you and your videos.❤️💫❤️🔥🔥🔥

Just Greg being Greg doing Greg things, loving it!
I believe you have Greg's number 😅
Geez Greg I'm worn out just watching you relax
When society as we know it collapses, it's men like Greg that will adapt and survive 💪
A true "shade tree" mechanic!! Thanks for taking us along.
Mr Ovens
I can not thank you enough for the joy you have given my heart and soul whilst my body is still recovering from a terrible leg injury.

You speak with such love. Much respect from the west coast of 🇨🇦
Feel better soon Michelle. 💞from Canada
Greg and Amos got me through a hard time last year when I was bedridden. I hope he knows he's much apricated.
Prayers for Michelle. Be Well Soon. Best wishes from South Carolina, USA.
finn is the cutest dog ever
I found this video pretty interesting pretty entertaining I like this day in the life of a regular old Greg ovens Bushman

Right on!
This is the best comedy substitute on U tube... the guys in the office must laugh endlessly...Pure Gold!!!
Sundays are like that for me. Even if I really need rest, if I have work to do, I won't be able to, so I just get 'er done.
I'd love to be able to share my skills more often, but what draws a crowd is the unmanageable situation, like a messed up log because names are showing.
You were supposed to take it easy says the man dragging logs 😂..those crabs looked delicious!!
Bro, I agree tomorrow the brakes will still be there. Keep on doing this awesome content that’s why we follow you. I love you, brother.
nothing gets better than winching your truck to change the breaks love it!
You blow me away Greg!! You just merged auto maintenance with "glamping"!! You are such a motivator, I love it. We need more people with your work ethic!
This was very interesting Greg. Stay safe, and keep bringing us videos. I always learn something.
What you learn on this one?
How to destroy your truck to have a fire?😅😅😅
I love greg but C mon. He needs to think things out a bit more...
@@survivewithjon Hello. Thank you for the opportunity to qualify my comment. I learned how to cook crab. I learned how Greg used the winch on the front of his truck. I learned the difference between disk brakes and drum brakes. Have a nice weekend.
Nothing’s impossible for Greg Ovens
What a legend
When you said "We're doing brakes tomorrow, Finn" Finn stopped instantly and whipped his head around as if to say "What do you mean 'We', man? You're on your own sucka!" What an absolutely loveable pair! 👍 👍
He is a true survivor. Not only in bushcraft but a mechanic out there in the woods as well.
Nice ranger my man!
You’re so 😎, love Finn so much.
I take the cap off the brake fluid reservoir before compressing the brake pad piston to give the brake fluid somewhere to go.
Thanks!
Thanks for your support
Greg ovens i been watching you since you started even on the alone series. We have talked over gmail a few times but you have taught me so much and ive came so far in bushcraft because of you
love the videos man. greetings from Finland
I cannot believe it. I just replaced rear brake pads on my car. Drove for a couple of days heard bare metal on metal and had to do the front as well. Now I'm watching Greg do his. I feel like my life is just one big calliper assembly at the moment! 😅
Amazing job Greg you inspire us all
I cannot wait to camping too! Just as soon as I can get the brake fluid so I can FINALLY GO RELAX and bleed my brakes out in the GREAT OUTDOORS! AWE SO PEACEFUL! lol
Love your videos Greg! Greetings from Pennsylvania 😊
You may not be the king of sketchy ideas. But you are definitely a prince. Stay safe my friend.
Greg got a million dollar view while working on his breaks. God that country looks beautiful.
Canada is the most beautiful Country in the entire world. Thanks Seth💞
Another goodie! Thanks Greg!👍😎
I don't know a lot about camping survival but I would feel safe with you
headed into deep bc myself right away with squeaky brakes....fingers crossed greg , seem to always make it out alive
Brings back memories! Thanks Greg and Fin!
Love you buddy!
Man after my own heart. There is always a way. I love it, bought all the conveniences. Except, the jack, the chain saw, the battery operated power tools. Yup sounds like me. Great video Greg......on your day off. 😁😁
Hay Greg and Fin,nice truck.I had a jeep with a winch,ain’t they great!Tanks again for a grand video “A”!
you needed narrower trees. you wedge the log between the trees, and put the cable on one of the outside ends. you get a fulcrum bonus. would take a fraction of the energy required. if i remember i'll make a quick demo video tomorrow and post it.
Keep the great videos coming friend and please keep safe from Scotland 🎉🎉😊
Grab yourself a couple of 5 or 6 ton Snatchblocks. They will double the pull strength of your winch and it won't have to work as hard. I use a snatchblock and a tree saver strap and they work like a hot damn!
Well done Greg🙂🙏 37:04
Greg this is one of the best videos you’ve posted , absolutely love this one and would love to go on an adventure like this one and yes I laughed about hauling those trees on your front bumper.
Always look forward to another video cheers to you and Fin godbless and stay safe
Thank you Greg another great episode
Nice truck Greg! Those ford rangers are built really well.. tough little trucks give that thing some love and hold onto that gem 👍
Good to know how to do it yourself changing out disc brakes. Now I am thinking about having crab & steak yum. First time seeing Finn sit still for awhile waiting for his steak dinner 😅 I would too! ❤ your show.
Looking forward to this tomorrow. Stay safe you two. Blessings.
Amazing content!!!
I love it! Gettin learnt with Greg Ovens!
Hello Greg and Finn. Great video thanks for the lesson too 😃😎
ill say it again, if I was glamping alone I would want Greg with me oh and Finn. Best wishes UK

And yes no such thing as glamping, your not camping at all if you pull a house and power out to a very public and easy to access maintained camp site.
Glamping…a form of camping involving accommodation and facilities more luxurious than those associated with traditional camping
Snow was beautiful. Fin looked like he enjoyed his steak. Awesome vid. Maybe I'll try doing my own brakes next time. 👍💚
I know he enjoyed it. After he finished, he sat there looking over at Greg as if to say, "Hey! I love you man!". LOL
I had to do my power steering pump in -30 in a snow storm in Alberta before 😒 definitely know the struggle 😂

I appreciate that!
Really like the truck greg, I hope it goes good for you man
Nice looking truck 🙂 Glad to see the winch working out and the Ranger back on the road!
brings back the good old days of making do with what you had and inventing ways to get the job done. Thanks Greg!
U.K. here great videos Greg love the 30day challenges aswell, hopefully lots more to come, stay safe 💪🏻
Outstanding video Greg! Love seeing a day in the life of a bushcrafter videos.
Your idea of a day off is much different than mine. I sure in the heck wouldn’t be changing brake pads or thinking about how I left my chainsaw at home to cut firewood… Haha!!
You Rock Bro! ☀️🌎☀️
Greg...you're the man!
Great moments in Canadian history
Doesn't get more Canadian than this😅
Greg, we always STEAMED THE CRABS, BOILING TAKES AWAY THE FLAVOR. If you clean them first but steam them, the flavor actually gets into the meat better (old bay, that is)
True but boiling them you can use the stock for soup or Ramen
Hi Greg this is Marcie.Thankyou so much for the brake lesson.Im always alone in the bush.You may have saved me 1 day.Kootenay Life..Cheers!
Excellent video Greg ,, you make it look so easy,, people with a garage would find that job a testing one 👍🤠
I just replaced my transmission the other week. What a job that was but it is done and I thank God I was able to do it.
Damn that snowfall is beautiful. Southern Manitoba we got very little snow this year
Wow Greg you wernt lying when you said metal to metal 😂
Good video greg I love the bush brake job very remorseful mister
Great video! Maybe double check the brake pedal and fluid once more.😉
Thanks Greg
Your such a legend! Much love bro💙
wish i could go on a Adventure with you and finn he is a vary good fire wood Collector.
Love your videos
Killer boots man! 🤙🏻
Great video. So glad Flynn’s there to keep the two of you’re selves busy
Lumberjacking up the vehicle is a good wilderness technique for removing the tires.
Pure entertainment with old school knowledge.
Absolutely love this! I always wanted to know about the daily life of Gregg and Finn when you're not doing challenges or teaching us folk how to survive. Awesome Gregg-thanks.
Would you be able to to a trapping series again, like 7 days in the bush trapping and hunting also -different types of fishing traps!?!? Best regards from the u.k 👍😎
Sometimes you need it Greg!
Good job! Changing the pads is ok, but I hate changing the discs. That I don't do anymore 😂
Hello from Wisconsin 😃
Loved watching Finn waiting for his steak. Very lovely beast indeed!
All these compliments and nobody bothered to remember how well you sing 🎤 😂
Thanks for your time and entertaining videos.
Two of my favorite things....fixing stuff that needs it and camping. Love the video. Thanks for bringing us along, again.

This was a great video, I love the simplicity of the day to day and its cool seeing the brake pad replacement, all necessary components of living independently.
I love these kind of videos. Not just bushcraft but just working with what you have. So entertaining and Thank you Greg for the adventure with you.
That's certainly looking like a "snow" crab.
I'm just having a little brainstorm here, but you and Zach should do a 30 day back in Patagonia.
Thanks for that refresher course on doing this Breaks. I really appreciate it and the night before when you had the crab and steak and you hanging out with the dog that’s just awesome. Keep doing what you’re doing Greg, We appreciate you and your videos.❤️💫❤️🔥🔥🔥
18:56 hes like nope! u are ill watch LOL
Hook your winch cable at the end of the log rather than the middle. Use leverage to your advantage
You are such a great calm guy, I really enjoy watching you. I just watched 40 minutes of you changing breaks haha. Greetings from germany!
