- Greg has made a lot of different bushcraft shelters to help him survive in the wilderness, so let's revisit his Top 10 Survival Shelters, that could save your life! GOOD NEWS Gregheads, Greg just got back from an All New 30 Day Survival Challenge, keep an eye out for the First Episode, coming soon!
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.

This channel is very unique. One thing I have found with most popular youtube channels is that they are often very equipment and gear orientated. Better and better equipment, more and more of it, collapsible this and fold able that. Greg strips all that back and most of his videos are beautifully minimalist. Absolutely love it.
Completely agree. Just being himself, no frills, very relaxing. I like the channel Mafu Conteh and the kilee boom boom band for similar reasons. Soul nourishing kora music.

Agreed! I feel like most TH-cam channels are about selling you stuff? I guess it's hard to say no when a brand wants to send you stuff to represent? I love that Greg stays true to his content 👍🙂
Yes you learn a bit from Greg here on how smoke weed and fish and I see he's using my new rod and lugs
This guy and Eugene Runkis are the best in the business in my book..
Genau, da stimme ich dir zu! Ich mag es auch lieber einfach und minimalistisch.
Greg is the most hardcore outdoorsman there ever was, so much respect!!!
Greg is a real survival i had almost watched all his videos i love his skills.
Thank you for keeping us entertained and teaching us how to survive. You're the man Greg!! 👍
@@geneoleary6809 figures lol
Thank you for keeping true to who you are Mr. Ovens. Love watching your videos!
it would be cool if Greg made a video of a shelter in a rainstorm and try it out
I agree! A lot of the tips in this video, as great as they are, more or less require dry building material. But in a real survival situation, chances are you got into that situation because of bad weather in the first place. And it's a lot harder to work in rain, including making a fire.
@Kevin Hart Thanks, I'll try to make sure to carry all that with me wherever I go in case of an emergency.
He has end it was really not difficult
Greg, can you make a video of 10 basic tips and tricks for beginners to survive in the forest? To put everything in one video,from 1. to 10. (making fire,making shelter,cooking on improvised sticks from the woods,catching fish) just put everything together. :)
Hello Greg! Huge fan here and was wondering if your doing another video with a subscriber or anything I’m so interested and amazed by your knowledge and just would love to experience camping and surviving thanks for your knowledge and dedication to bushcraft 👍🏻
dont forget duct tape can be split into smaller strips for cordage a 1 foot section can become a 10 foot section if needed
Unlike other bushcrafters i've seen over youtube, you sir are real deal.. Since most likely no one in their dire moment would have technology to start fire, or make a shelter, this is a perfect and realistic example of how can you survive ..
You nailed it....this man is the real deal
North of T.O🇨🇦 here...
HEAD'S UP STICK ON THE ICE 🏒🇨🇦
Thanks for this compilation video.
Hello Greg, I live in a small town on northern Vancouver island and you have been in town over the past couple days. My friend Brody saw you at the gas station in town three times on separate days. And he got a picture with you to show me. I was a little jealous. Big fan. Keep the videos coming greg, hope you found your camera in the cove you mentioned for a video!

@@geneoleary6809 TH-cam don't work that way. When I report it they approve of it and then it reappears.
@@geneoleary6809 if they are dum Enough to to think this bot is real they deserve to be scammed. Lmao
Hey Greg it’s me brody from the gas station I was a little star struck when I seen you the first time but it was awesome meeting you in person I love watching your videos hope to see you again soon on the island unfortunately gas prices are a little high right now so I don’t think I will be seeing you at the gas station anytime too soon also thanks for giving me some spoiler on the new video hopefully that video comes out soon I’ve been dying waiting for it 😂
This is absolutely beautifully beautiful grey love you with all my heart man right on
I love the Canadian Don Cherry thumbs up… never mind if your not from here.
What happened in Labrador? I was rooting for you to win that second alone adventure!
Greg Ovens is my favourite TH-cam man. I wish nothing but the best for you. You rock man.
I remember each of these. It’s awesome how you basically mcguyver shelters outta what’s around. Seems more than just surviving too. Can be comfortable and set up.🐸🍺🔪🔥
Another awesome informative video Greg, keep up the good work can’t wait for the next one! The fire in the tree stand was very nice 👍.
Lets gooo!!!!
I need all your tips for my videos!!! ❤❤❤
I gotta ask.... do you believe it is actually safer, being up higher from that grizzly (in the last shelter)... or was it just a feeling of being safer (maybe a false sense of security, since bears can climb trees)? I did really enjoy watching this video, thanks for another great one : )
It is safer. If you are on the ground or in a hammock close to the ground a grizzly can smell you and actually come up to you, if you are in a tree and it's sniffing around, it doesn't see you on the ground and makes it less of a chance of getting attacked. (Putting it short and sweet.)
@@CannibalChxrry also adultgrizzlies wintclimb as often as babies can
Even tho grizzzlues can but hey have to ve very hungry and see U go up
@@zathtanks Grizzlies are extremely territorial. They will attack.
Greg, love your videos mate! Inspiring, informative and mostly fun to watch. Cheers from India!
awesome survival tips thank you Greg, always enjoy your video,s
ALWAYS a treat! Thank you Sir!

would love to see more tree top camping set ups was a pretty neet set up it sure looked like you guys burned alot of calories after the trip was over haha XD
Greg Ovens and MR FOWLER,Are to me the best most relaxing thing on TH-cam,0% false information and Click bait, everyone watch the 30 day survival challenge in the Rockies,and watch both of the character outview,
The fun fact is that here in Australia Greg and Zac definitely can save our lives with there knowledge....
I really do love you both...
Brendan and family, bells beach Torquay Victoria Australia 👍🏽💯
I live on Vancouver Island on the edge of the wilderness. It’s good to know what to do with minimal tools and ingenuity to survive. Thanks for posting
I love the 30-day challenge you do with Zack. Always interesting to watch camping up in the trees. Did you pick up your favorite saying I noticed is "To Be Honest With Yah." I guess you met many car salesmen buying your vehicles. They use that saying tons. My theory on it is never to trust anyone that always says " To Be Honest With You" It is what I taught my children growing up. They don't need to say it if they are used to being honest hahahahahah. Good to see you back to your comforts of home. You sure did look terrified and nervous in the advertisement for *The Alone show.*
You were super jumpy sitting under the overhand of the cliff like something was going to jump down on you. Probably more bears there when you did the Alone show than you're used to. Great content Greg as always very interesting.
Hey man was wondering when the next video was going to come out
Estou por aqui para assistir este excelente vídeo, e poder aprender algumas dicas de Bushcraft... Show... Tmj... Abração do AVENTUREIRO PAULEK!
DO NOT CLICK HIS LINK ITS A SCAM
Wow, ur act pretending u slept on the moss bed was pretty bad.
But it was worth a laugh, and it's still great info and entertaining.
All in all worth a thumbs up.
It’s a compilation of my favourites! Hello from Van island.
Its so awesome to see how you make these shelters without having so many expensive ( you need these gadgets to make or to survive) . I love the minimalist ways you teach us how to survive!! Great informative video as always Greg!! Take care and stay safe my friend !!
Hello Greg always around nice video thanks for sharing 👍🏻
Greg why doesn't you show us that solar mirror thing to start a fire, you know what i'm talking about right? It's the unique bush way remaning to show, really easy, fast, all you need it's a strong sun for few seconds or a minute and you can carry it on your pocket. You're a great human, we all should be live you, i'm loving to watch your videos man, keep it up! I'm a dog person too! I've 5! I'm Braziliam by the way, ppl from the entire world is watching you my friend, and i can't belive how you can tolarete such low temperatures, i can't live without gloves bellow 15ºC! And i see you doing way worse, like cleaning fish, when it's bellow zero, OMG, seems crazy to me.
Bears can climb trees. Still probably more safer then the best being able to get you from the ground,but if the bear goes up the tree you are trapped, or will have to jump down and hope not to DIE from that and get away.
Can't wait to see parts of this 50 days in, that Greg is doing now.
What are you talking about? Greg just got back from a 30 day survival challenge with another contestant from "Alone: Frozen." Zack Fowler and crew are currently editing the footage.
@@Adam_okaay you shall see
@@Adam_okaay him and a new bunch staying on a place 50day they all get some cash
Greg! I’d love to see some videos of some Appalachian bushcraft. I love your videos but a lot of the cool tricks using plants just isn’t available to us here. It would be cool for you to point out some differences of the geography here.
Great shelter's my man 🙂 love seeing the basics of wilderness survival tips being from the north myself I can relate to a lot of these tricks to shelter from the cold or storms great job 👌💪👍😎
I would love to go on a trip with Greg.
Me too!
Pretty cool. But when I stay grounded I use a portable electric fence in the backcountry.
You guys are brilliant! I love watching your videos. Please keep it up.. right on 👍🏻
Greg..I never understood why people put moss on cabin roof or shelter...Someone said is bad and again someone said is good for it. Do you know anything about theory behind it. I searched but no lack..Please if you know can you explain.Thanks
so i saw the show ... to help i can explain what happened ... starvation can and will hurt you permanently... when you go without the vitamin b12 and minerals the sheathing on your nerves (brain) wears out and starts to make you cry thats why starving people start freaking out (look into why they used pemicin)... it gives you anxiety and depression.. you do to much damage and its irreparable... you can only treat it........with minerals and b complexes' ... i know from experience ... this is where your post traumatic stress comes from its really has less to do with trauma but more starvation ... the more you starve the less trauma you can take .. hope this help bud... your awesome
i think the tree house shelter is brilliant. id feel safe in it

Absolutely love your channel.

great job! How did you start a fire with the rifle barrel? Was that a spark plug??
not usually a problem avoid shale
Always a great watch for Bushcraft and survival. Good stuff Gregg. We don't have Skunk Cabbage in the UK but we have rhubarb that has huge leaves just how far up a tree can a mature grizzly go? I know they can climb or is that black bears?
I belive the main thing keeping the bears off is the platform itself, since the bears can't use the ladder. But I don't think you have to worry about grizzlies in the UK anyway. =)
@@mobeltass correct, we have no bears left, they got wiped out centuries ago. They murdered all the wolves. It's a miracle we've any wildlife left given the rate rich hunters and they were predominantly rich white land owners who went about killing anything they wanted as "sport".
I love these tryed and tested survival methods, it's so different to see a guy live for periods and prove the techniques work. Thank you greg ❤👏💪🐐
Fridays are no longer date nights, they are watch Greg and see what I can learn nights. 😁

Want to say thank you for sharing your adventures. Spent a few years up in Alaska and want to say I appreciate seeing a true look at at wilderness survival…not adverts for “gear”. Love your show!
Congratulations on three years Mr. Ovens. Been watching for two years, I look forward to more content, love the channel, and I love how real it is!
wow! that old mans beard braided blanket was unexpected! Hahaha nice work!
Hey, just a tip: In your description, if you type 00:00 Then some words (e.g. INTRO), then
01:01 and the next chapter name
05:45 next chapter timestamp (e.g.)
Good for lists like this, you can time-stamp each of the 10 shelters
Love your channel! Great content, awesome personality 🎉
Does Greg read any of this? Every single description or response refers to him in the 3rd person.
You are amazing,you have so much experience and understand very well about nature, i'm happy to see this video,👍 greeting from your new best friend..🙏
Hello 👋 my outdoors friend, greetings from Northern California. Sincere thanks for sharing these 10 survival shelter tips. I really appreciate it. If I ever get stranded in the outdoors, I will give you a call, an email or a smoke signal. All the best to you. Stay safe and healthy out there. I look forward to your next informative video. 🤗
Feel like Zach and Greg would be great company for a fishing trip
Again, great job man!🤗
Wow your video popped up and I was thinking .."he looks familiar" so glad to find you have a channel. Loved watching your skills on S3. Definitely will subscribe to learn some useful skills.
I am not a troll. I am n0t trying to be unduly critical...I AM, however, a little concerned about searing hot rocks very close to petroleum based cloth seats and dashboards. I am worried about catching the only immediate shelter on fire and possibly harming the person, who, ostensibly, is already in a survival situation.
I might just survive the coming apocalypses because of you, Greg! Lol
This dude is too much ruggedness
*BREAKS NECK LAYING ON ROCK*" this is very comfortable believe it or not" 😂😂😂
Lotta stuff I’ve not seen. Before. Thx Guys
hey greg, new veiwer.. love your content, your disposition and i plan on staying for a while. thank you for giving youtube a nice comforting zone to enjoy the outdoors and learn a bit.
Can’t wait to see the new 30 day survival

I just imagine you guys hanging out in that last shelter. Holding off the grizzlies Attack On Titan style.
Thx for teaching me lots. You always do. Looking forward to whatever is coming. I know it’s big because of all of these past vids being repurposed.
Hope you win?!?
Watching from Ontario Canada!
Is this just a repeat of what u have already done? I think i have saw all these. Still lub it, not hating just wondering. Lol
it's up.high, but... bears can climb trees. so.... hopefully. he will.justlook for another place to find food
I'm AMAZED! Hearing what most of them-over-there do to "U" e.g. Duke becomes Dook. We call it Usnea he calls it ewesnea.
(:¬o)
What did he tie the Beard Moss with? Also 13:15, haha very funny.
(Though Survival Time with Greg the Human and Finn the Dog is gonna stay with me)
Also how often do you have to deal with scorpions?
Gotta say the camp made at the end was beautiful for a temporary shelter.
hello Greg. kind regards from germany 💎💎💎💎💎💎🍀👍😻😻😻🐿🐿🐿💪💪💪💪⭐
Smartest Alone participant. He makes more $ doing a TH-cam channel than winning the Alone challenge 10x over.
Wow that rock in a car trick is insane!
You could just set a fire under your truck it'll keep it warm.
For #6 Garbage Bag; why not just cut 1 side edge and the bottom edge so the duct tape wouldn't be needed? Or just cut both side edges and leave the bottom intact? The first method would create a square, second method would make a long rectangle. Love the videos man.
Greg just watch frozen. Not a survival expert but why didn't anyone try a teepee shelter with that big tarp. ? If it works for the Indian they didn't make all the fancy shelters.
Great video and tips...My tip would be to spray behind the toilets because alot of them leak and get moldy smelling...and under andaround the urinals...I got rid of the smell in a restroom that smelled like an outhouse by spraying under and around the urinals...You dont need to do it every day but a little lysol goes a long way...1% that yields %100 pay off...
Greg I just watched you on Alone it was great!! I was like I watch him on utube!! You did your best! I'm proud of you.
This is a repeat of previous episodes, what is the point?
Bro. I been following you a long time. But I'm gonna unsubsribe if you can continue to se d new videos. Love you bro. But tired of waiting. Please. New stuff.
I would get IN the rubbish bags like a sleeping bag...and lie on the moss intead of pulling it up. If you need two because you are tall, make a face hole in one so you can breathe and stay dry if it rains, pul te otger up like a sleeping bag. Done it Homeless. It works even in rain.
Im in lreland though and its soggier here 😁
HEY GREG,, OLDER BATTERIES GIVE OFF EXPENSIVE FUMES,. YOUR BETTER OFF GETTING TWO LONG WIRES TO JUMP SPARK,,
The masters of outdoor survival would be the Native Indians. Not one individual but a thriving community. North America is rich with its survival history
Just heard that Greg quit the series Alone Frozen without even starting, I guess the guys getting old but getting beaten by hippy Chicks that's very humiliating. The new series sucks anyway, I've noticed that Greg is looking more fragile and weak lately, I hope his health is ok his 58 now I think.
I don’t know if he warned people about sleeping under rocks. Some rocks will fracture and even explode if you keep your fire too close…
Hey Greg just discovered your channel randomly, love your vids was wondering if u have a family?
Isn't this the guy who, in the most recent "Alone", managed to lose his one pot on the beach and failed to properly deploy his tarp and spent the night in a miserable, wet sleeping bag? Same guy?
I want to hear the Greg ovens story. Kind of like that biographical presentation fowler did. Start to finish (now)
Good knowledge to have but it occurs to me that if all the followers of all these Bushcraft channels follow the examples in them they'd be no bush left to craft.
Lots of moss where I live in Tasmania. I have slept on moss with a cut garbage bag on top, nice and soft, nice and dry.
Hey was watching another of your videos where you said Thier wasn't many books with good info if you haven't written a book on it yet you should and if you have what's the name of it I would like a copy
Wood stove. Close the damper to just a Crack the less oxygen your fire gets the slower the wood will burn. Hope that helps
Sleeping under these rocks, doesn’t this guy worry about snakes?
How much concern should I have about rocks - possibly saturated with moisture - exploding in the fire?
River rocks often do that but I've never experienced any kind of dangerous explosion with them, they usually just break in half.
Like the other reply says, that’s mainly a concern with river or lake rocks. I’ve actually put river rocks in a fire before and never had any explosions. After I heard it can happen, I stopped using river rocks. I don’t think it’s very likely that the rock overhang in this video will explode
That's really scary having that bear that close our neighbor on the same area where we live just had a mountain lion kill two goats last night that's really to close for me but they lived here before we did love watching your videos keep up the great videos
Curious if building spears in front of a shelter door could work against bears or any other predators? I haven't had a chance to try this out but it sounds like a great idea if nothing else it could be a good deterrent
Whens the new 7 day survival challenge coming out....cant wait....
Hi,i am from Norway,just love al your videos 😃🎣🐟🐕🇧🇻🪤
