Saran Wrap Survival Challenge | Part 1
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 5 ก.ย. 2024
- Greg heads out to a remote lake in the Canadian wilderness with only 10 items. To survive, he must build a shelter completely out of saran wrap and sticks. With Fin by his side will he be able to make it 48 hours, foraging, catching, and cooking all of the food. Tune in for Part 2 Next Week!
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.

👍👍👍👍👍
indeed
what he said
who doesn't enjoy Greg's videos , I know I do I love em ! and the Faithfull Finn ! for those that are complaining go watch something else I reckon . Greg was the reason I went and bought a Bradley smoker absolutely love that thing .all the best from the UK
I just thought, “I want to watch Greg Ovens this morning.” I turn on my iPad and there he is with a new video. I’ll have to wait until this afternoon, I’ll wait. 😊
You should have put in one video. Please don't make a habit of doing part 1 part 2 just make a 2-hour video and not break up the video
@@BrianCrane-lm7dldude. Come on man.
this guy should have WAYYY more subscribers than he does, hes amazing, he knows what hes doing, and is fun to watch,
I don't know, I think 846.000 is pretty well done.
@@prebenjaeger yeah good point, it is quite a bit of subscribers, i still say he desverves more though
I need this in my life, it’s bringing back myth buster memories!
There was definitely a survival fad around that time as well
Another great great video Greg might take a day or two but I check them all out have fun from Virginia and give ole Finn pats a scratch’s for me. Be safe have a great adventure 🙂👍be waiting for the next one
I love your channel and I love every one of your videos showing us how to survive with just what we may have laying around in our vehicle or washed up on shore during a hurricane etc etc etc 💚🌎🇺🇸💗🇨🇦 Haters gonna hate but who cares 😻
God bless you brother you appear to be the real deal. I am a Peace corps volunteer lived in the jungle of kosrae. Been chased by witch doctors in the night. By the grace of God I am still here. Keep up the good work you rock bro.
Most people can't even wrap a plate in plastic wrap. Greg over here building a hammock outta it. Like a boss
😂
Tbf, the plate isnt rooted into the ground xD
Just not into plastic or micro plastics
some people get the wrong type of wrap there's different kinds for different purposes and the ones that are sticky are typically for using on plates and the ones that aren't are for wrapping foods directly
I love the minimal gear videos because the tendency is always to take too much or cover every need, which defeats the whole purpose of increasing skills in the bush. I can, however, already think of multiple-purpose uses for shrink wrap, especially for windy rains and pine bough shelters and also for windbreaks. Loved this video and looking forward to Part 2.
You love adventure, and so does Finn. He sure knows the routine, he’s a very smart and loveable dog.🐕💗
(Wife typing) I stumbled upon your channel and have been binge watching for myself (Alone has been one of my favorite shows, but the built-up drama was always annoying), when my 5 boys also started watching. Now we're all obsessed! Thank you SO MUCH for the wholesome, educational, genuine information on this channel. You've enamored and inspired 5 little boys in Midwest, USA.
Hope your tailbone healed! You can stretch your tailbone by laying flat on your back and pulling one knee up to your chest and holding it for 10 seconds and then your other knee up to your chest and holding it for 10 seconds then both knees at the same time. This is also a hip & hamstring etc stretch. Excellent for lower back pain, psyatic nerve down the leg, hip pain etc. and your tailbone is the bottom of your spine 💗
Greg you are so innovative with your adventures. I love them all!!! ❤
I think one of the reason you have such a great fan base is because YOU truly do these challenges. Like you said it’s not just showing us viewers what can be done. You come up with different challenges for yourself. Life is an adventure & all about adapting & changing. Great video. Looking forward to watching more. Tell our 4 legged friend we say hi. ❤. Life is always better with a doggie. 🐶🐾
Best CHannel for survival tips with an amazing guy. big respect
Really enjoy your adventures Greg!😊
I’m gonna make a suggestion, I think Greg should have a chest rig or a face cam so he can go hands free like when fishing and climbing. Can be worn on the chest like a loose harness so it can be worn over a t shirt or under a jacket. The head mounted cam can be a great way to catch stuff being done with hands or fishing and driving etc etc 👍
I've been watching survival videos for years. I don't plan on surviving in the wilds too much but I do plan to travel great distances and stay at powered camp sites wherever I end up. Time for the next phase of my life. Time to sell it all for a van!
A classice style of greg video. Back to basics. The best kind of ovens videos
Discovered your videos a few weeks ago and been binge watching since. I watch a lot of these type of videos and you're one of my favourites. Keep it up mate. Love from the UK
Such beautiful outdoors, your dog is living the dream.
Hello from Beautiful British Columbia Canada 🇨🇦
I love your videos can’t wait to see it
Randy I really like your profile picture and if you let me, I would make such an amazing mural out of it! If you don’t mind one of your post could be my inspiring muse for an art project i’m working on for a client. You will totally get paid for it as well as a bonus also get credits.
Not to mention also Perhaps Canada Best Looking Man!
Very interesting video. I thought mid-way through that the saran wrap hammock looked like it could work in a survival medic station. I'm looking forward to the second part of this video. Stay safe Greg and Finn. Blessings to you both.
Enjoyed your improvised ways of doing things
Greg, your having a good hair day.❤❤❤Finn sure looked spooked right there at the end. Made me curious 😮
Right on brother! 👊😃🎉
Jamie I really like your profile picture and if you let me, I would make such an amazing mural out of it! If you don’t mind one of your post could be my inspiring muse for an art project i’m working on for a client. You will totally get paid for it as well as a bonus also get credits.
I love you Greg and Finn! I just rewatched Alone season 3 and literally cheered you on with my fiancé! We both love you and are destroyed over the outcome of your challenge. We will be supporting your channel for life and hope to cross paths with you in the bush someday!!
Been watching you for a while Greg you’ve inspired me to try my first few day survival trip here in Australia. Cheers mate love the videos
Omg...so glad to have found your channel..what a relief to see some 'real' living and a break from all the 'civilized' bs going on in the news... Thank you .. your channel is salve to my soul...
Thx for filming this and sharing it with us.
LOVE YOUR ADVENTURES!!! THANKS GREG!!!
great content greg, dont reply to the negative people 💪 thanks for the video today
It's been too long Greg! Waiting here down in South Africa. Your lifestyle and videos are such an inspiration! Always lifts my mood...keep it up, stay safe and healthy sir 👊🏽
Great 2 Parts. By mistake, I watched part 2 first. Hi Finn😀
So excited for this one.
You suck rafa. Stop hot dog riding these guys
@@GregD-7 jealous NEGAtron stop crying online HAHAHAHAHAHA
oh we guessed alright oven, we seen it in the intro 😂
If Greg says he wants something to be his surprise--- you can bet the editor will ruin it LOL they always like to chop Greg's videos up and speed each scene up so you feel like you have 5 seizures each video 😅 but that isn't Greg's fault- they should just show us what he films so we can spend time with him in the woods like we want to do and learn his skills...not chop it all up n make ya dizzy.. it's like those who edit Zach's videos are not even on the same planet as the one who edits Greg's yet its all same edit room 💔 maybe someday Greg's videos will be edited less and by someone who leaves surprises as surprises and that let us watch his kindling gathering and fire building and all the scenes of him fishing on shore LOL is that too much to ask again n again - we want more Greg (& Fin!!!) and let him surprise us as clearly intended... You're not going to find a two-part video on Fowler's page when they're only 20 minutes each.... This could have been a two-part video-- each one being one hour...and a surprise to guess at....🏕️🌎
Just got back from a visit to Maine, was there from the beginning of April. Insane temperature swings ( 21 degrees F at night to 104 degrees F during the day). I lived through every season but mud season. No running water, refrigeration or fresh food, but loads of gnats, black and yellow flies, chiggers and ticks. I thought that being an older woman, constantly foraging for food, wood and water would actually do me in. However, I have learned so much from you I began to thrive instead of just survive. Back home in Washington State, and so glad to see your smiling face!
My dream is to pass away quietly in the wilderness all I can do is wait. I served in army field unit( drilled in the woods fort drum) I realized I’d rather pass away in woods not in a building.
Can you relate?
I was raised by mountain men.
That's how I will go too brother.
@@OvensRockyMountainBushcraft I’m a 62 yr old female. I use to think at age 11 my father was a harsh man. My male family members hunted in Maine. Hunting with him was rough. But my experience gave me a gift.
Falling asleep in woods just waking up at dusk before my body started to move. My eyes witnessed an owl quietly sailing in the sky. My dad walked far into woods. Other men didn’t like hunting as hard as he did.
Greg gives a metaphorical statement
“And dust you shall return.” I once had spiritual eyes that saw only punishment. Now I see truth beauty and love. His appearance seems as though he has already passed into GODS CREATION. IT means peace and humility. Acceptance of things we can not change. I want to return. I’m not afraid. I just feel love. I’m ready when it’s my time. Greg has just given me a path.
the best that does it, i enjoy the solo survival way more than duo so much calmer
That industrial wrap is amazing stuff. Used to ship alot of weird shaped metalwork, solar panels and electronics, that was pretty hard to palletise, 3d tetris. The straps were usually just there to hold it in place until you got wrap on, that did 80% of the securing. Never had anything damaged in shipment. You can get pretty creative with it.
When is coming Part 2 ?
Greg is so good in what his doing , i learn lods of things from him about nature ,keep doing what you doing man !
Good to see you made a video finally make me happy make me smile love your videos❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
Hey Greg, coming to you from the UK, I stumbled across your channel and you have very quickly become my favourite creator on the platform.
I'm from a country where we have more rain then any other form of wether.
I would like to see you do some bigger shelters over a 30 day challenge where rain is a common occurrence.
Give fin a pat for me.
Welcome aboard!
I paid utilities yesterday $109 the largest bill this year. Whenever I watch your videos I feel like I am getting away with something. I know just how spoiled I am living with water, sewer,power, some would say I'm not at all spoiled I'm living in poverty. I was raised with a single mom and 2 siblings. I know hunger and limited selection.
I look at thing different than most because I also was a trucker OTR. I lived most of the time off grid. When you love OG you really appreciate the power water sewer.
Wow, an awesome introduction. Never seen anything like it before. Perhaps it’s just like your interesting videos, amazing stuff
Great survival challenge these are my favorite videos thanks
I made a temporary greenhouse for plants out of steel posts and seran wrap and it worked a treat!
Ovens you are a Canadian Hero and Proud to Know You’re From Surrey!
Perfect house design.
What's up Greg. I'm looking forward to this one
Can’t wait to see this video!
So neat hope you enjoyed the adventure looks so fun you the legend 🤝🏻
dude these videos just make me wanna go outside and do something like this, thinking about getting that wrap now. Love this vids!
Keep going man. I live in Newfoundland, and I’m learning a lot from you.
Great video. Thank you for sharing your videos. Cover your bait with spit. Tie a small stick (around 2 inches long)
Wide as the fish, in the middle of stick.
So when the fish swallows the stick, it will turn sideways in his belly when you pull on the fishing line, spit on stick. You can catch a Gator with a bigger stick.
Always keep some tender beef jerky & some snickers bars in your bag. And a joint. Camp Safe
Gorgeous scenery,
Thanks Gregor 😂
Beautiful scenery, fun video, good fishing bait idea, saw others use squid before in fresh water and chicken in ocean, but not lake, this is another good tip, I missed it on the items list so thanks for showing us, videos make us think to become more resourceful, Fin is awesome.
For the most extremely attentive viewers, the still might have given away the use of the plastic. If not, the scene early in the video should do it. Or the description. But that has to be the most non-woodcraft thing I've ever seen in a video like this. I can't imagine how many Step Twos would be required before Steve would consider this abomination. It is pretty funny though, and that's really a big part of why we come to TH-cam. I definitely appreciated and enjoyed that. The top cover did a great job of preventing rain, though it did create a risk of rain with a side wind. I'm also amazed at the handle-to-ferro ration on that ferro stick.
Too bad about the fish. I've had my share of hungry nights too, and was hoping to see that Rainbow landed. It looks like the second day had better success. I'm really no fan of fishing, just a big fan of catching. Thanks for another fun video, and here's another "like" for the collection.
💥💥💥Greg!!!! YOU R EPIC💥💥💥
You rock Greg!!!
Well I'm glad you're getting rain Because here on Vancouver Island we haven't had rain for over a month hotter than crazy gardens burning up even got curtain shears over top of my garden and it's still cooking everything my bedroom at around 3 and 4:00 o'clock is 30 plus I get a kick out of the Internet because it always says 26 Or 25 but I got a temperature gage in my bedroom and it says anywhere from 20 8 to 30 it is finally cloudy today hopefully we get some rain but it's still hot it is 11:00 A M cloudy and it's 24.7 in my bedroom
You're the best Greg
Great movie again. Keep up the good work, Mate
Absolutely awesome channel my friend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
absolutely love that shirt, keep up the good work sir
Good video, cant wait for the second part❤
I haven't gone out in a while. Awesome video
I realy like thses challange/innovative ideas you come up with :) very fun, you never know what kind of random stuff you are stuck with out there in a survial situation.
Holy crow that was a big rainbow trout , it's oh , I almost got it , I think I got him , no I don't but I'll come back later in the day. 😂 You gotta love Greg Ovens he's an awesome person , right on Man 💯👍😂🤣🤣
Hdy greg enjoyed your adventure hope to see more of you and finn 🤩🦮 Much love and respect 🌿⛰️🌿
HI Greg and Finn :) always watching for your vids, I live in the bush and like watching you teach everyone and nice to read others are reaping the rewards of watching !!
Hardcore survival... without coffee???
Unthinkable!
know what drank to many beers and too a annoyed by the ad, I am gonna go to sleep, i will watch the cool dude tomorrow. And hope i see fin. beautiful doggo ah. :) fin should be in every video possible.
Been saying this for years. Saran wrap is extremely versatile as a survival/emergency item, absolutely more so than duct tape or paracord. Waterproof, windproof, tough, can make walls, windows, roofs, cordage, it's one of the few things that can actually stop bleeding from the femoral artery at the hip. It's cheap and not too heavy or bulky in your pack for what it can achieve.
I have a deer hunting blind that has stood for at least 5 years made of the stuff and it's still looking nearly as clear the day I built it. I've also used it when I was doing framing and roofing to protect customers property when unexpected storms came up. An underappreciated material to say the least.
Thanks Greg
Guy says 10 items then pulls out a piece of chviken from his bag to use as bait. Priceless greg
Learn allot from these adventures. All the details and ideas with the application behind em. Great stuff man🐸🍺🔪🔥
I love the outside the box and innovative stuff.!
Can't wait for the next nice video
Always a pleasure to see another upload from you, Greg! Thank you for all your hard work, these videos of yours are very educational and informative. More people need to see them. All the best. :-D
My friend has a cabin out in Noelville on the french river about an hour some change from sudbury. we would go there every summer to hangout. It like a second home for us out there. we are both from the states after finding your channel man it makes it feels like I’m there again. Keep up the great work Greg!
This type of camping is good defense for insects and snakes, but dangerous front big cats and bears, which cannot escape when they attack you If you turn on the lights, the animals can easily know where you are. I know someone who was attacked by a wolf at night and he survived.
It's about time we see more of you doing this greg x
I dunno why but the music kicking in while Greg is saran wrapping some trees is cracking me up lol. 10:45 😆
Love the sirt man!
Dudes a legend now
That's an absolutely beautiful video I can't wait to see the next one and the next one after that and the next one after that this one was really nice that was pretty continue with the shrink wrap I think you should have wrapped one part of your side up with it to where you couldn't get the rain in from the main side that would have came from but other than that I can't wait to see your other videos of this adventure.
All you need is Finn...Well, Finn and Finn food. You're a good man.
Much love from a fellow bushcrafter from Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. I've done my fair share of bushcraft locally in the Cape Breton Highlands with my own pooch who also happens to be named Finley. Would love to meet up if you ever hit the East Coast. Stay safe brother.
I'd love to do a wrap lean to and definitely recycle it after. Also maybe try to use it as a greenhouse in winter.
Dang can’t wait for part two! Glad you’re out making more great survival videos!
The shirt is legend.
I love watching youre videos when im high, just hits diffrent
Hi Greg, not sure if you'll see this but I watch every video you put out and it really makes me happy. As someone from the UK, I've found it difficult to find your social distancing T-shirt anywhere! If there's any way you could let me know where I could buy it, I would love to have one that reminds me of you and your awesome video's. Keep up the great work and I look forward to the next video, all our love and respect, from the UK audience :)
Same here in the UK very wet winter, very late start to the summer and not a very warm summer either! I am in the North West, Lakes area, I think the weather has been better in other parts!
Good to finally see brand new content
i love ya man these videos are amazing keep it up
