Cheers Greg, all the best. I'm currently in Thailand. It would be really interesting seeing you do some vlogs here in Northern Thailand one day. Thanks for all your hard work on the channel. RIP Hop.
Just newly subbed here , I love his lifestyle, forget the fancy Ferrari fancy house kinda thang , this is tbh everyone’s dream ! But how on earth do I get drunk and wasted as hell in the bush surviving ? Also btw I felt for hop a long , just because a bird is bird , doesn’t mean a friend ain’t a friend
Greg, it's clear to see that you're an honest man that hasn't got an ounce of hate in your body. I hope your channel grows enough for you to call an end to your carpentering days so you can go on as many adventures as possible!
R.I.P Hop-a-long. Greg gave you an amazing life, regardless of how short it was. Thank you Greg for having a soft spot and giving her a good life! I hope you have some meet and greet this summer Greg! I would love to meet you one day! Thanks for always making me smile and have some good laughs. You remind me so much of my Father and it brings me back to the good outdoors days when I was a kid.
Hey Greg! Don't mean to tell you how to feel about your content, but at the release of this video 342 thousand subscribers love what you do. Just be you, my friend. That's when you are at your best.
RIP Hop… u brought out the best of Greg. Showing his love and care for the needy. That is what I respect Greg the most. He is not just a hunter but a care taker for that chicken. Thanks Hop..
Had a hen break a leg similarly. All the other hens would assault her, and wouldve probably pecked her to death. I sat with her everyday, carrying her in and out of the coup and setting water and feed next to her (in addition to making sure everyone had plenty of feed as to not promote competition). Also collected clover, dandelion and grass flower before it bloomed. I would lay her down with broken leg straightened out as best as possible without touching it. I WAS AMAZED!!! When the bone thickened to twice the diameter, and although not "perfectly" straight I kid you not that she went from the very bottom of the pecking order to the very top. I do think it had a lot to do with me sitting by her and encouraging her when she lashed out and defended the food I gave exclusively to her. Everyday she sat resting but waiting for some chick to try n punk her while she was down lol. Cheers to Yickens!
I’ll miss hop, I love your videos man and i truly appreciate the videos because they take my mind off the world and I’m really depressed because of covid and my living situation but I love you man
You have such a GIANT heart Greg, so big that it hurts ours that have never met you, Hop A Long was one lucky chicken, bless you and be safe and keep up the excellent content, i found you about 2 months ago and cant get enough ❤
Oh my God Hop-a-long waited for you to say goodbye, I'm speechless. This is a very Beautiful Place.. sorry you Travelled that far and not be able to do what you set out to do, that's life i guess. You still had a good time... your definitely right always carry a lighter..peace and quiet, thank you for sharing..xxx
Loads more bison past Liard Hot Springs - another 8 hrs drive NW from Ft Nelson. Often right on the highway in the winter time too. You wouldn’t regret heading there, Greg. It’s one of the nicest natural Hot Springs in the world... So long to Hop-Along: love that you treated her with love and respect. Well done.
RIP Hopalong. And Greg I did new construction homes for years. Mostly plumbing/painting/pouring footers. That Ferrell rod is so cool. Lifesaver. Great content man
I am so sorry to hear about hop a long, I'm a new viewer since last night. She was a very blessed chicken to have known you and your family. People find it weird that us who eat meat still care for animals, even if their ussually considered food. Your kindness and lessons remind me of my old man who passed away a few years ago. Its kinda comforting for me to watch these videos as it helps reawaken some memorys I have of his survival teachings. Great content. Thank you
@@MOOSEDOWNUNDER I get what you’re saying, but I did the same thing when my chicken died. It was only a few months old so it would have been a perfect eating bird, but she was a pet to me so I couldn’t eat her. I buried her instead
Thanks Greg I just had to explain to my fiancée why I'm crying over a Chicken Funeral. You're a good man who loves animals and nature and respects it as we all should. Love from the UK brother
Commercial meat chickens are the saddest thing. I love my chickens and I am happy to eat stringy tough birds rather than raise crippled but tender meat birds. It was sweet how well you took care of Hop-a-long.
New Adventure: GREG OVENS LOSES HIS MARBLES. Well...loses Hoppalong; hits the Happy Hunting Grounds 'OUT OF SEASON' and still delivers stunning video and warm-hearted content. Sorry about the housing project: four months of drywall hanging over substandard construction. I bet you felt every bit of the strain by the end of every day. And...it's not just a job for pay...a big part of the payoff is that you were working to make long-lasting homes for families. I am thinking of an iconic tune: 'Spirit In The Sky', from the 'Seventies.' That memory is my send-off for Hoppalong, to 'go along' with the 'Fires of Cremation!' Great Call, Greg.
sorry hop along is gone - kinda had smoke in my eye there for a moment. glad you got some buffalo meat. even if it wasn't the way you thought. atb Greg
Greg I've driven from Alaska down to Vancouver and I loved it... It took 5 day's and I slept in my car... I met people I picked up hitchhicking along the way and stayed in Vancouver a couple days, all good...
It was still a nice drive, and OMG, what amazing views of beauty up there!!! Loved your Burger pitstop !!! Sorry to hear about Hop Along, however your time with her , you can always look back upon and treasure the moments of your adventures together!!! Much love Greg , Be Well ❤. Hope to See You Soon!!!
That was a really lovely tribute to Hop a Long. Sorry for your loss. Love the videos. Please keep it up. You inspire my sons and I in the UK. Winter hot tent camping soon
Thanks for taking us along on your trip. Sorry to hear "Hopalong" passed away :(. We just had some Bison steaks a few days ago but where I live they are expensive so don't buy them much. They were tasty, cooked on the BBQ. Very tender meat if cooked right.
When I was camping in Yellowstone, I was told the difference between bison and Buffalo is that “technically” above the equator is all bison and below are Buffalo. Rip Hop
Really like it when you show the trail you're following road or in the bush, what a nice vlog and that burger looked great, so sorry about hop-a-long a nice celebration of his life, he was a mate and didn't pass alone, you gave him a life. Thanks for the vid, keep well.
RIP Hop-a-long. Gotta love a guy who cares for his chicken and gives her s proper send off.😍 Thanks for posting even though things didn't go as planned. You got to eat a bison burger do well worth the trip. Stay cool Greg😎
I’m sorry for your loss Greg. Hop-a-long captured a lot of hearts. I do pray that you have a safe, prosperous 2021! Come down to Alabama and do a little swamp surviving...I’ll show you around.
Found your channel a few days ago Greg, I love your videos. I want to get outside more into the bush (i'm from Ontario) and have some fun. May Hop rest in peace, she's one with nature now.
RIP Hopalong. ty for being so genuine Ovens, idk if u even realize this but as a 27 year old feminine gay man, who happens to love outdoors adventures.. I found your videos and they mean so much, i just know you're an accepting , loving, nurturing person who accepts others and just wants to be happy.
RIP Hop. And Greg, you're doing a better job of looking into the camera when you're talking to us. Keep improving. I like watching your progression and getting better and better each video.
Greg, in your videos one can go from almost crying over Hop-a-long.... to laughing out loud from your comical editing to put in the movie clips and cut/paste excerpts! You are awesome 👍🏻👍🏻! I’m so glad a friend got me onto your channel. Love it!
This guy is a good guy, no one can deny that. True Canadian and we love him.

Got me right in the feelings. Poor Greg I'm sad
Greg is that uncle we all want. Not the one we deserve by any means, Mr. Greg I'd like to unofficially adopt you as my distant uncle sir.
I be gone from the population, if I had a uncle like that, he's well balance, and smart relax hurter.

Greg is such a likeable bloke, humble and honest too... says it as it is. Respect.
Cheers Greg, all the best. I'm currently in Thailand. It would be really interesting seeing you do some vlogs here in Northern Thailand one day. Thanks for all your hard work on the channel. RIP Hop.

Dear Greg, Seeing you care for Hop-a-long make you more than ok in my book!
I know rest in peace sweetheart, hey what are the odds we gotten a egg or 2 from that coop.

Glad you got to see Hop before she left us. You gave her a great life Greg and gave us all joy. Xx
I like to think Hopalong waited to see you one more time before dying. Your a good man Greg and a fellow Canadian and I offer you my condolences
well said. Im sure Hop did.
I can't get how peaceful your soul is your so knowledgeable and down to earth your remind me of my pap before he passed such a great man
Greg, you’re an absolute legend. If I had to bet on one person to survive the apocalypse, it would be you.
The Man who respects and loves Gods animals and nature like you are men of Honor. Thank you for your efforts and taking us along.
Ffs I’m a 59 year old guy and I’m in tears Gregg,god bless Hop and you my friend 🇬🇧

Awwww sad about hop a long... seems everybody really got attached to her... thanks for your videos buddy...
Man
That hit a soft spot.
She’ll be watching over all of your adventures.
In loving memory of Hop a Long
Gregs awesome content with Zachs editing is pure gold i laughed, I cried and enjoyed the emotional roller coaster of this episode.
Oh my God Hop-a-long waited for you to say goodbye, I'm speechless. This is a very Beautiful Place.. sorry you Travelled that far and not be able to do what you set out to do, that's life i guess.

as a long time fan and a drywaller, I feel even more connected to find out you are also a (ex) drywaller. tapper life
So sorry to hear, brother. You are definitely full of love and Hop was blessed by it. Great tribute and fitting goodbye.
I find this guy so cool man... his videos are great!
Ahhh, hop a long was such a precious chicken. So glad you did a send off for hop a long. That was so special to see. Enjoy your videos so much.

Just the care you gave hopalong speaks volumes Greg. You've got a good heart. Peace brother.

i fell in love with this guys channel awhile ago. Cant get enough
its all soo peaceful, Cant wait to get out again and get an adventure in.
Hop saw dad and was like, "whelp, nothing more a chicken could ask for" and took that last big jump with Ovens on her mind.
Dude, are you TRYING to make folks cry with this comment? Well... good job then!

We need more of greg on the kat walk lol.
Truly sorry for you loss!!!! She was dearly loved and well taken care of.
See you over the rainbow bridge hop a long. R.I.P. She had a good life.
Bitter sweet. Mostly bitter. Hop was a real trooper, a tough old bird. Thanks for the memorial.
ha! maybe on the best outfit to be wearing after last weeks craziness lol

RIP to hop along. She had a great life.
Sorry to hear about Hop. RIP girl. We're all here for you Greg. Take care brother.
That is quite the timing on the fur and bison horns... are you getting ready to storm a town hall?
This is by far the best hunting channel on TH-cam.
Almost like she waited for him so she could say goodbye
That was a really lovely tribute to Hop a Long. Sorry for your loss. Love the videos. Please keep it up. You inspire my sons and I in the UK. Winter hot tent camping soon
Hell yeah, this what I’ve been waiting on
Jeez, I don’t think I’ve ever been so emotionally invested in a chicken before! That was nice what you did for Hop. Your a good man Greg.
I was hoping you were going to eat hop along you look perfectly healthy to eat
Me too. What a waste. Nice fat bird ready for the oven.
Yellow mustard and white onion is all you need. Love you Greg. Been a fan since Alone. I have so much respect for you.
I planned on going to sleep tonight, but now I'm staying up til 1:30 :p. Noo hop-a-long can't be gone! :'(
Real men have a heart. You are a good man and make some awesome videos. Thank you for your hard work!
How can you even say that we don't care about Hopalong!!!!
You can see the passion he has
For everything he does keep it up Greg not many like you out they're
"I haven't got hypothermia in awhile"
12:55
...AND, as you say, you have done a lot out of doors to deserve it! Maybe your skills are just getting better?
Greg talking about caribou and the show some elk.

That’s because we know it’s going to be good!
That's so true lol I DID hit like before even watching cause ya just know it's gonna be good and i wasn't wrong lol Sad about Hop Along though.
Way she goes!!
Found your channel a few days ago Greg, I love your videos. I want to get outside more into the bush (i'm from Ontario) and have some fun. May Hop rest in peace, she's one with nature now.
When I saw the thumbnail I thought my man was getting ready to storm the capital
Hahaha same
A video of this guy failing at even attempting to hunt a buffalo is still more entertaining than 90% of TH-cam videos.
I should not have taken a drink before the run way scene. Almost had to get a new iPad......
Burned into my mind's eye. Now I wanna gouge it out.
RIP Hopalong. ty for being so genuine Ovens, idk if u even realize this but as a 27 year old feminine gay man, who happens to love outdoors adventures.. I found your videos and they mean so much, i just know you're an accepting , loving, nurturing person who accepts others and just wants to be happy.
When u said "....next time" and she quickly turned and looked at you. I don't cry at human funerals, but ......
was not a waste greg, love your videos!
keep up the good work
rest in peace hop-a-long.
you will be missed.
My first thought was "why wouldn't he eat her?" Followed up by "friends don't eat their friend's now do they?"
This misadventure is something I used to be famous (among my buddies) for doing. Classic Greg.
-Viking horns may be a bit controversial given the recent terrorist arrests. but 2 thumbs up Greg
