Bushcrafting Primitive Survival Fishing Hooks (That Actually Catch Fish!) | Catch & Cook
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 พ.ค. 2021
- Greg found success with his dogbane line, so he decides to handcraft primitive survival hooks out of wood, bone, and a NEW idea. He takes his bushcraft tackle to the lakes for a test and manages to land trout for a Catch and Cook!
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.

Greg you are an inspiration to us all. You are a roll model to me and others that watch you. Keep up the great work Greg, we love you
👍
Role model* but 👍🏼
Couldn't have said it better
Amen to that
not to mention a great sense of humor. The final 10 seconds for eg :D
Love it when he actually teaches us the old pioneer way of doing things . Everyone else is modern tech and blah.
Please do a series of edible plants in the Rocky mountains. This info can be found in books but identifying in reality is entirely different. Don't let that knowledge go to waste!
I think he’s done this a few times already.
Great idea
Would watch!
Please, that would be awesome!
Watch the 30 day survival challenge lol they show a lot of wild edibles and what it looks like.
I am a 62 yo grandmother in Tennessee. You inspire me! Wish I could come fish with you. I’m teaching my grandson all I can. We love camping, Bushcraft, fishing, and cooking over a fire!
Look up sty north u will also like his videos
@@misterz2719 thanks. I also subscribe to him, but Greg is my favorite.❤️
Howdy neighbor! TN resident here also
@@pitabread71 howdy to you! Chattanooga here. You?
@@cathyjay2569 Spring City TN. Here. Good to see I'm not the only Tennessee Grandma, Greg fan.😂
I think it's Greg's voice that adds such a rich dimension to these videos. Like a lot of truly tough men, he has a gentle, unhurried way of talking. I hope that when he does his book, he does the audio version himself.
There are three TH-camrs that I look forward to watching every week. The downside of anticipation is when the videos start, they never seem to be long enough! How about an hour video now and then?
Have you tried watching 30 day survival?
what are your other youtubers you watch?
@@mightymaxx1 I like to watch Corporal Corner and also Les Stroud.
You might like Zack fowler he's a really good one and seems like a great guy
@@lukeb6394 Yes he is also another one of my favorites. He is amazing with his slingshot skills to. Him and Greg did the 30 day survival challenge together.
...mannn , that Lil Fin is growin' like a dang burdock....Great Doggo
RJ
Had to re-play 12:31 thru 12:37....way kool , That Dog loves Greg
.......dog is good eats in a SHTF situation ! Mmmm mm good !
@@RJDCR
If I had someone cooking & feeding me steak, I'd love them too!! Lol
@@eventsotherthingswithchris9019 lol
Greg you are loved I find everything you do amazing you are incredibly wise
Love seeing Greg get excited about his projects 😊
man its so fun
@@OvensRockyMountainBushcraft
What would you say was the"craftiest" project you put together?
I'd guess the "fish o matic " thing from some ideas ago, or maybe the bunny trap?
"I'm always excited" as Greg says with the most serious look.
Alright Greg don't hurt me I believe you 🤣
Greg, I opened my emails and found this video attached to Survival Life. Worth a second viewing. A great start to my my morning. Have a great week. 🐝 Bee well.
You’re a salt of the earth with a light heart man. Finn is a lucky boy to be your constant companion! Keep on keeping on Greg… Jack of All Traded is bang on.
i love watching ur vids. im 67 yr old lady in nova scotia. im a stroke survivor love the woods. i had to learn to fish with 1 hand im active. thx 4 the vids...karen
This is the only channel that makes mere literally cheer out loud when he succeeds. Right on Greg.
Thanks Greg if im ever lost or camping your skills are going to help me survive without a doubt. Great braided line, amazing craftsmanship
It’s always THE COOLEST when a bushcraft idea works
14:25 to 14:27 the transition of "think" is really good, they're putting a lot of effort on every details making this video. Much appreciated ❤
That out of focus shot at 13:52 is what my earliest memories are like
I can't get enough of this channel,such down to earth,non pretentious, Findley loving, cooking fun!!?? You know we all love you Greg🥩🔥🤜🤛
Especially Here in Australia, Right On!!!
I like that you don’t hoard the fish Greg! You make a conscious decision to let some go, wether it is too small, or just not needed. Man with a good heart! Keep it up brother!
Just discovered your videos a few weeks ago & I’ve been binging every time I have a couple hrs to kill.
I’m a 60 + yr old woman who grew up fishing. Just wanted to say, my mom taught me how to make the straight hook & I tell you they work really well. I caught 100’s of catfish and trout out of a small stream that ran through our property. Also used safety pins tied on a string.
Who in the hell those 9 dislikes from this video? There's no way you can dislike this golden video!

Other survival tubers. We call them haters.
@@OgpBosnia we can't hate other survival tubers. Like zach fowler, bob hansler and many more.
@@omarrkoroma5570 Ironically even a dislike creates more "revenue" for Greg because it means more viewers which is all TH-cam cares about
It's people with tiny screens and no finger accuracy or mouse control to click "Like" as they were obviously intending to. At least they tried, right? :-P
Lol at Finn and his gentle little baby bites.
Honestly, if Greg got lost in the wilderness, he'd probably be more confortable than in civilisation.
That worm on the rose hook... Hakuna Matata lol
Greg you’re so “camera pro” that you take these vids and perform so naturally, even more so now. Greg, you’re the man!
Great dog. Glad ol' Hop can rest in peace knowing you have a new bush buddy. Keep it up sir!
already have caught a 30# Blue Cat off of these (going to try to get a 60#+ next year). th-cam.com/users/postUgkxzXmlErSqVAEGWFEKO530BvTqFDw53QW3 Definitely very strong, and sharp. Additionally, the gap is wide enough to actually hook a fish (not always the case with circle hooks). I purchased the 8/0, but probably should have got the 9/0 (they seem slightly smaller than other 8/0 hooks). Additionally, having the point in-line helps if you drift fish. I have yet to get a serious snag with one of these hooks.
I was born and raised in Nova Scotia, moved to B,C in my 20's lived all over BC, the Yukon and Alberta. Now I'm 61 living in the Ottawa Valley. This is the largest town (17,000)I've lived in in 60 years. I like your content, the straight hook (gorge hook) works best made out of a sliver of bone. I'm impressed by your knowledge of wild plants, vital for survival or just plain enjoyment of a few days in the bush. The more you know the less you need to carry.
Truly a lovely man. One of my favourite You tubers. You bring a smile to my face in every video. Thank you.😍😷🏴
Wow, thank you!
This was such a feel good video!! Love seeing your excitement when ideas work!! Finn is turning out to be great company! Ps. Love the blunders too, reminds me you’re not some polished youtuber but just a real guy taking us along on your journeys!!
You're so cool as ever! Sorry because I'm late watching this, I watched this 2 hours ago after you posted because it is still 3:00 A.M. in the midnight here in my country and I'm sleeping 🤣 hope you understand Greg ❤.
Hey Greg, the toggle style hooks work well. I used to catch Bluegill with them as a kid. Unlike all of the other designs, they can't get unhooked because they wedge in the mouth. Just keep the pressure on and pull them straight in quickly. Using the right bait as part of the design is important, like a nightcrawler that slides up and keeps the line straight and the tip sticking out. You can even feed a small strong bone toggle hook through a nightcrawler to the tail area so its like a worm with a barbed tail and your worm stays on the string to save bait. The best part is the simple skinny easy to swallow profile, and it doesn't even need to be very sharp to get wedged in. Also unlike J hooks that have to be set in, there is no way for the fish to unhook it. Definitely worth mastering the toggle hook especially since you can get very small fish with it to use for fish or trap bait. Thank you for the videos and keep them coming. All the best!
Another great episode! The traditional ways are so much harder and time consuming than the modern ways, it gives me a great appreciation for our ancestors and how difficult subsistence living is. Keep up the great videos, I'm working overseas so seeing the Northland (I'm from Alaska) does my soul good.
Even when I can't fully pay attention, listening to your videos and your voice and energy is very calming and keeps my thoughts on a constructive and positive track.
Thanks a ton for your uploads. Be careful out there, would hate to loose you.
Maybe I'm not much of survivalist but I do fish as much as possible so it's great to watch these old school fishing methods 🙂
I am sitting here in the UK by my window watching your video with the Welsh mountains in the background I am dreaming about getting out there and catching some fish. Catching a wild trout on equipment you made yourself looks so satisfying... keep making these brilliant videos Greg!! ...right on!!!!
He’s Just happy in nature living life to the fullest. Makes me want to travel again, you’re an inspiration Greg! Cheers
WooooW congratulations, this is real bushcraft, not what they show on TV!
Greg you freaking rock. I really enjoy watching your videos. Keep being you brother.
I appreciate that!
I don't know if it's your skill or your enthusiasm which makes your videos so addictive.
Hello Greg! All I can say is, is that if SHTF, u will never starve! Keep up the good (can’t say work, cause u truly enjoy what u do)!!! Keep up the good pleasures n life...n Nature! Enjoyed this! Thank u
Greg can u make a video about zombie apocalypse survival series? Like zombies are not far from being possible in this modern era. It's better safe than sorry either ❤ you're the best possible instructor that could definitely teach us how to survive zombie apocalypse for 5-10 years!
The way life should really be. You're an inspiration Greg
Greg, you got lucky getting Findley. He looks to be a great young dog, and companion!!
There's lovely people and then there's Greg, You should set up an Ovens bush craft camp for people to visit for a week and learn about survival, id be straight over from the UK in a flash😃
Love all your videos Greg..keep em coming 👍
Knowing you is a blessing, imagine continents apart and yet I know so much from you. You and Zack Fowler you are family man.
I love how he gets all exited every time he gets a bite!
Good too see you!
Just started watching and binge watching to catch up last few days. You mentioned a sign off catch phrase, "I am Greg, that's how u do it".
Thank you so much, that was amazing! In case someone gets lost without tools, the thorn hook looks like a very good option!
Hi Greg hi Finley love your videos
I love your happy personality and the way you speak to animals and fish.
GREG, congratulation from Portugal 👍👍👍👍👍
Love seeing Greg so happy
Anyone else find themselves smiling every time Greg does?!
Gregg that was fun thanks, I really enjoyed hanging out with you making hooks 🪝😀
Oh my gosh.. Those succes just made my day.
And this is the first time i see greg cut his chicken with knife. Usually he just devour it by hands.
I started with Fowler, began watching Greg through Zach, but quit watching him because he went commercial. Greg, you're carrying the torch!
21:31 casually rips fishes head off
This guy is everything that is right about being Canadian!
im from Malaysian,u know what??i love what u do..i watching all the videos..Can i get Love from u greg??
Greg ovens is a living legend , thank you for your tips 🙏 from brize norton village, England
You reminds me of my father. He was a Handy guy too and I learned everything that is nothing social from him 😂 glad I have a mom for the rest ❤️
Loved this haha especially that ending of “I told ya” it’d be interesting to see you and Steve Wallis collaborate.
Your doggie is absolutely precious!
Rosebush hook was awesome Greg! Love the Bushcraft Bugout specials.
Gregg you are a true gentleman of the woods!🤠🌲🏞🎣
This makes me appreciate how easy it is to purchase hooks. Great video!
That was nothing less than awesome. From the Master of bushcraft himself. Not just showing us, but doing it.
Cheers, Greg!
I am so glad you got into the TH-cam game and have started documenting your adventures. You are an inspiration
Love watching some Greg and Zach. Greg, you are truly amazing.
Greg you're a 1 of a kind, never change ;D
Always looking forward to these videos! Lots of knowledge being shared!! Thank you Greg!
Hello Greg, I'm always here for yr Chilled Life and Scenery, and yes The pup! 🤙
Thanks
Best wishes from Germany 🇺🇸🇩🇪
I agree, Greg is a role model to us all!
Fin is a very sweet dog, so happy and content.
Bit like my boy Jacko, our Dog friends make life that much sweeter
I've always kept a roll of thick gauge wire in my bag with a leatherman multi-tool to make my own hooks.
I cut ½ an inch of wire and twist one end into a loop to tie line onto and bend the hook end the cut the hook tip at an angle to make it sharp, make smaller hooks as they won't bend as easy, I can get probably 1000 hooks from one roll of wire.
I also like to use thick guitar picks for makeshift arrowheads.
You love what you do and it shows. This is what makes your videos so warmfull and inspiring
I remember my German Shepherd...exactly like him! Watch the cougars! Keep the videos coming! Beautiful BC...
Hi Greg. I enjoy watching you and your videos. I love the way you explain everything. Stay Blessed and thanks for sharing. Best Wishes from Nazmin Narine . Transfer Village . Debe South Trinidad./ Caribbean.
Great video, you wouldn't think you would be able to catch fish on a wooden hook but that was pretty cool
Fin got so big so quick just like this channel. Love it Greg, keep it coming!
You had me laughing when the fish swallowed the hook and you said "Wooodennn hooooks maaaan!"
You're an inspiration brother, thanks for sharing these cool experiences with us.
Greg , love your channel mate .
No BS bushcraft .
Would love to see you down in Australia some day , you would love it .
It was great to see just how excited you were when using the rose thorns in particular.
This is my favorite woodland wizard.
Just watched season 3. So happy to find Greg thriving on TH-cam.
Trout is very good and delicious fish. I love trout fishing it’s always interesting and fun
Fantastic, thank you Greg, WOODEN HOOKS MAN 🪝👍🙂
man leave me stranded in the wild with Greg anyday
Super Video 👍👍👍
A frayed fishing Line is a great advantage.
Carp anglers user them consciously, because fishes don't see a line, they see something like a plant. It is a great camouflage.
I found you. I’m playing catch up. Just started last week on the series “ALONE”... You were my favorite from your season! After you left,my new fav became the winner!! I digress~
Your so fun to watch.. ! Thank you for having a TH-cam channel!!
Ps. Have you ever come upon a Sasquatch? I’m a believer! If you have already answered.. I’m sorry..
Dont pay any attention to the few Trolls and Haters. They hit On Everyone’s Channel... Way more people love your content! Thanks again! Carry on!~
You have a unique approach to bush crafting and survival, truly self taught. Your willingness and excitement in experimantal approaches makes it fun for your viewers and draws us in. 100 yrs from now bush crafters and survivalist will be studying your vids. Your 1 of a few u-tubers that stand out. Your the Mors Korhansky of U-tube. If you ever deside to write a book , reserve ne a copy. In the mean time i hope for your continue success. Keep demonstrating your hard learned skills ,your experiments and your love of the outdoors.
Mors Kochanski was a friend of mine and showed me a trick or two
Your a smart man that I would trust being stuck somewhere and I know that I would not get to bed hungry you try everything and you have patience and you never give up and Finn is getting bigger and he is so gentle with food that is a dog that is well fed too do that and now you look more happy since you have Finn with you and he will be a very good looking dog and he is not starving that is for sure love all your video and take care of you and your family and friends
Whoo hoo! Caught a fresh upload right after dinner, this made my Friday night.
Very interesting. You are definitely having many blessings happening! Good job on training your doggy to be gentle. I think more people need to work on that one.
I live in Saskatchewan the most boring place on earth so I like seeing your videos they inspire me to get out of the house and at least do something with my time 👍
