- Greg returns to Vancouver Island after the 30 Day Survival Challenge with @amosrodriguezsurvival to search for his camera and the important footage it contains. He revisits the challenge locations and finds more adventures along the way, catching salmon, overnight hammock (stealth) camping, spotting wildlife, gold panning, relaxing with old friends, and more!
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 never really lost a camera. He just needed to go back and beat those elusive fishy's. 😉😉🙂🙂
Ha, yeah man, we know how he thinks! He does know how to fish., he just had no catch earlier in the challenge. I was looking forward to seeing the radishes. 😥, Ohh well, things don't always turn out the way you want them to., esp. Outdoors in the country. Trial and error, living off grid is a huge challenge in itself.
Cool comment. NZ. ✌❤😁
Too bad he didn’t bring the bow Amos gave him! I bet he would have got a grouse too!
@@normazarr3106 you’re 100% correct. He just had some bad luck in the beginning. I think this video lifted a lot of spirits. It’s awesome to see Greg back at it! Even if it was just because he forgot a camera.
Lol
“Fish”
You and Amos will definitely have to do another dual survival. Yous are onto something good as yous get on so well and are a perfectly suited,humble people.
Absolutely agree 💯
Yes, please do a longer spring time Plant and Harvest series 🤘
Along with the catch and cooks of course 🔥
It could be hard to do since when he's not in B.C. He could be in Australia, Maine or Hawaï... And vegetation is scarce in the spring in Canada. 🌲
I planted two blueberry plants last year and it will take them a couple of years to turn into bushes. 🐻
Thank you Greg for liking my comment just remember to take it easy we need u still around 😊 keep up the great work from UK England
This was unreal to watch,Greg should just be relaxed and random, Great to watch...
Love from Victoria Australia 🇦🇺❤️
i don’t blame the pup one bit for missing Amos, i feel quite similar. the two of you coming together was like the discovery of salt & pepper, ham n cheese, spaghetti & meatballs, lamb & tuna fish.. nearly perfect combination. i hope to see another series w greg/Amos.
Lamb and tuna?

Hey don't exaggerate, they are not homos...

A Greg/Amos/Zach 30 day survival would be the bomb.
Heck yeah ...but 30 days is to short for that... I like fowlers pirate ship
I’m so excited and happy, can’t wait to see Greg doing what he love to do, I appreciated him so much and loved (:
I was just watching his 30 day rocky mountain challenge with Zach again for the 10th time lol never gets old. Then I get a notification for a new greg video...hell yeah❤️😁
Definitely never gets old I watched it a few times and probably keep watching it.
Super happy that you guys are back, this really mentally helps me, thanks for your wisdom greg wish I was there every time to learn with you man. Inspiration Greg.
Can't wait so excited been waiting for 3 hours not going to bed until I have watched Greg
Greg is such a cool guy Appreciate you sharing your experiences. I only wish the best for you buddy Peace and God Bless
REDEMPTION OF THE RADISHES!!! :D
This was a surprise treat indeed~
Lol yeah I finished his sentence 🤣"but I'm gonna eat em anyway "
Blessings from England Greg. I hope you and Amos do another trip together soon.
Thank you Gregg for all the hard work and content watched all the Vancouver Island episodes great great times thank you
WoW Greg, Are You Lucky!!! Awesome!! Now, that's a sharp knife and that steak looked yummy. I love Finn. What a Great Dog!! That was a Great Walk and Talk. It's so pretty there. Greg Thank You For Sharing. Stay Safe!!
Now that's one bath I wouldn't ever have a problem taking!!!!!! Mr. Greg thanks for just taking us along and letting us enjoy the 30 day's adventure again.
Amazing the camera made it through🤯 and I can finally rest easy knowing what happened to the radishes😉 Can’t wait to see what footage you have to throw up from your Aussie adventures. Cheers Greg.
You always make me smile Greg thank you again for a brilliant video. I'm glad you found your camera, It's nice to see A kind of debrief video of the adventure and a look again at the spots
36:05 "Anyway enough about Yew, let's talk about me"
😂😂😂
Hi Greg, great to see out were you and Amos had a cool adventure, Amos Is a cool guy
I love Greg’s videos so much it’s really a blessing from God. I watch the videos over and over again and I’ve been struggling with maybe not having the picture perfect family and childhood so when I’m at my lowest the content has really helped me find inspiration to go out and spend time with my dog in the swedish nature and heal🙏🏼❤️ wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for Greg and Fowler love to all of you
Greg, it might make a cool video series to pick out a spot for a 30 day adventure, but actually go several months before hand for a short trip with the goal to semi cultivate a spot and plant a variety of vegetables you can then harvest and eat during the 30 day challenge! Sort of a glamping adventure, where at least you can have a supply of vegetables each day so you can then concentrate more on hunting, trapping and fishing. I know having more food available might be less of a survival challenge but it would definitely be something different. 😁😁
Id watch just to see if any vegetables made it a couple months unattended. Every garden Ive ever had has been a constant battle against critters and has required a lot of attention.
Greg I would love if you held a course on wild edibles.I live in Calgary and I'm sure if you put the word out you could get a group interested! I would pay for that knowledge 100%
Same
Unfortunately that has been done many times....
What a brilliant video. Recovering a lost camera, finding an old friend, taking an outdoor bath with bear fat soap, truly awesome Greg!
Bear fat soap with cedar… gotta love the randomness of this man, and that sunset between the mountains was epic.
Best part of my day is when I get a notification saying Greg posted a new video
Hey Greg, cool adventure as always. Did you take Finn to the vet? Please update us on his prognosis'. Finn is so young, loveable & happy! Want him to be healthy for a long time to come.
Sadly he passed away from parasite 😢 r.i.p doggy u will be missed
So sad rest in doggy paradise Finn.
Happy for you Greg, good things happen to good people. Keep doing what makes you happy and we’ll continue to watch, ur kind heart comes right Thru the screen. Stay safe out there and let’s see another survival challenge with Amos soon, u two have great chemistry.
Hey Greg, I won't be able to comment much anymore, health issues, but I will always catch up on your vids. Gotta shorten it up. I am happy to see that you caught the dang fish's, I know you always respect the nature and the guidelines wherever you are.
Fin, is such a Sweetheart. Bring a pie tin wherever you go, you never know! As so far,...
You SHINE!, As well as the gold you found. Keep collecting the little flakes, they do add up. I'll take some berry wine, Anytime! Ha! I Thank you, appreciate you and your efforts bringing us your experiences in the wilderness. Always watching for the next one. You really make it personable, and from reading some of the comments, alot of people do! Keep them coming Please., you are the real deal. As always GBU.,SM.,NZ. ✌❤😁🤟🤗
Yeah 👍👍 bonus Greg video 📸. I'm glad you got to go back and check out the radishes
Yer a solid dude. consistent and a real man. much health and happiness to you.
This was so cool. I can't even imagine the nostalgia it must've brought to be back there on a sunny perfect day after a tough 30.
Thanks for this video Greg, it was cool to see you go back and see the radishes and just listen to your bush talks!
Thanks for the video Greg! Glad you had a chance to revisit things and it's nice to see Brie again.
Cheers Kyuss! I’m on IG if you wanna find me there
Great to see you back in action Greg, glad you found the camera too.
I am from vancouver Island I have been working in the Caribbean and South America for 7 years my Kids and granddaughter are all still on the island where they were raised your work has made me miss what I have taken for granted for many years , Great respect and loving warm vibes as always brother

Look good Greg. I would love any video with you & Finn. Don't over do it. Stay well!
Wow. we have a native larch, my dad's family here in Maine calls them hackmatack, Abenaki for snow shoe trees.(tamarack in Algonquin, also meaning snow shoe trees). I've frequently described the nice young red cones to people. One fall many years ago, I camped at a site that had tree plantings. I thought they were hackmatacks at a glance but looking back at my memories, the cones looked closer to yew.. I wonder now... They did look more like the inverted smooth drop shaped cupped cones you are showing us here. Hackmatack cones are a very similar, red but not cupped and more differentiated, as a close cluster of petals. Thanks Greg. Really enjoying your channel but I want you to watch me cast a fishing rod. My nerves are getting frayed wondering what is going to happen next with you, It's endearing watching you clumsily cast about but, my God man... ;0)
Greg, this is, by far, my most FAVORITE video of yours!! I LOVE all the different aspects and settings that you took us along! My dad's a Professional Engineer that's taught all over the world and he and 2 of his friends encountered an animal in the 80's in Northern California that can only be described as a Bigfoot. He rarely talks about it but when he does, it's intriguing!!
Fun solo adventure. Glad you found the camera. 💞
Hi Greg, happy to see that you found your camera, why don’t you pack a tent on your adventures, what’s next, as always I enjoy following you on your adventures ❤
I'm almost glad you forgot the camera. The scenery that we didn't get to see much of in the 30-day challenge is beautiful!
Radishes not failed. Planting vegetables is never a fail. You learned.🔥
5:40 ....Your Not ALONE, Greg !! I too can't figure out 😟🪢these fancy Rachets or buckle strap hook ups 🪢either...A good old TRUCKERs hitch is good enough for me also. lol😂🤣👍
Oh yeah sir glad you found your camera gear and it stilled worked for you that was awesome. That was just mother nature looking after you just like you do her!!!!!!!
The French Creek and Qualicum rivers area can be great salmon fishing in the fall and you passed close to them on your journey. Greg never fails to entertain.
Blooming love the content man! Regarding the garden, an idea could be to sprout them before you plant the, give em a better chance to grow and skip the first few steps in the wild.
Enjoyed the video Greg,so much beauty there.seen things we didn’t see last time.glad you found your camera,you got to tell us next video if it was salvageable.chow dude.😊☮️
Greg you are a true Canadian Tarzan! Me and my boys love your adventures! Great job!!
Hi Greg....good to see You and Fin....Glad you found your camera, hope you were able to recover the footage...Awesome to see the wildlife, glad Fin is ok , especially when Bears are around...Lots of Fish there, i am trying to do some winter fishing here, and it's a real learning experience for me; interesting to say the least....Bummer that your Radishes weren't bigger, it would of been awesome to see them fully mature...YUM...i'm looking forward to more vids, keep 'em coming...Much Love and Be Well💛💛🕊🕊
Another great video Greg. Panning for gold is on my 'to do' list. I always enjoy watching your adventures. 🐝 Bee well.
Thoroughly enjoyed this vid! Especially your scenic bathing area ,🤎
That was pretty cool Greg you went to the Old spot where you and Amos were 👍🐟🐺❤️
I live off grid full time Greg
And I still find a way to watch your videos..and believe you like to suffer alot more my friend!
I inviter amos to ontario if ever you guys want some property to survive on in northern ontario 😀
Loved you two ❤️
Awesome Mr. Greg****🤟🇺🇸 that's a cute dog****
Thanks for the awesome video that I truly loved, though I still miss having Amos and You together doing your adventures together with Finn of course!
Man that really sucks that you forgot you camera. I hate when stuff like that happens that was totally avoidable but just out of rushing things or not being careful enough. Like your videos and I hope to see many more for years to come.
Hey Greg 👋 love ur vids and I was wondering if you are still planning on getting Finn checked out about eating like he's starving and being so thin? I know you love him and we do too! 🥰👍
yes, love you, but finn needs help two months ago.
radish are a cool weather plant. We had much to hot of a summer an fall in southern BC for good radish this year. Try planting them in March
Nah pack isn't lighter Greg's just getting buff 💪
#buffgreg
And yep the ol spit on the rock trick very useful survival technique saves burning ya fingers..your a legend mate gotta love ya give fin a pat please...
I just had a BRILLIANT idea !!! For your next adventure, how about you and Amos come down and try to survive for 30 days living on the wicked, mean streets of Hollywood, CA. If you want to eat, you must catch it, find it growing in an alley, Dumpster Dive for it, and/or panhandle for it. ALSO, you are allowed to have a tent on the sidewalk, and fires (if there are no cops around) heck, everybody does.
Also…..bring LOTS of large plastic bags……….that’s what you will be pooping in !!!
It's really wonderful that. although you spent quite some time camping it that same spot, when you returned it was as if you had never been there (apart from the camera of course :D ) .... But it speaks volumes as to how well you remove the trace of your presence for both anyone who comes after you and also for the natural inhabitants ... Great work 💯 ... Best wishes from Australia
Great video, Greg! Totally redeemed yourself for leaving the camera behind. 😆😉🥰
Watching Greg on some of these scenic adventure's is like meditation for me, what a sound guy ! Right on Greg.
Greg, it was nice that you where able to catch some fish to make up from your last trip. Great video
Ayyy! Now we know about the radishes. Awesome vid, Greg
I actually wonderful video from you Greg. Nice to see you actually go back and remember it all and filled it all again and as always always good to see fin.
Great video Greg,brilliant to see you back there 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Ok one more thing…please keep your shirt on and PLEASE no more bathing scenes. Some things can’t be unseen.😂❤
Love ya man!
The Radish experiment wasn’t really a fail you did get good sprouts they are healthy and taste good . Best to you and Finn.
This is awesome! Everyone always goes home and you go right back out. Hardcore man. Pretty cool you left the camera actually. Full on treasure hunt. And yes! You answered my question on what was bugging me. The outcome of the radish garden. Still trips me out you cruising alone after having Amos around. Awesome the camera still works. Bet someone who watches this will go out looking for those chairs.🐸🍺🔪🔥
Ya maybe lol
I was SO excited when this videos popped up on my feed! Very unexpected, and a great video Greg! I think we all just enjoy following you on your day to day adventures as much as your planned outings. Thanks for always taking us along! Stay blessed brother!
Love your content. Been here for a few years. I would have gone back for the camera too, and even without the camera. I always want to go back. It's amazing to me how a location can become home and then all of the sudden life is different and the place is new. I love to go back to old places. Like you said "I'll never forget it" for me there are places that are thousands of miles away that I could walk blindfolded and I really think that's part of who I am and what I am.
Ahh more great footage! Cool man 👍❤️💛💚
What a spot to take a bath. Amazing scenary ❤. Love the videos Greg
sometimes you say something that really makes me laugh. "Sometimes my work is so secret, that i don't even know what I am doing." That's funny. Glad to see you seem to be back to your old self. Thanks for the video.
You can joke around about whining, but it’s simply not true! You were feeling poorly because you had a cold, but I don’t believe that’s what you’re like at all. I believe we can all see your character and you’re a fine gentleman! I don’t think there’s a soul who watches you who would disagree with my assessment of your character! Blessings to you Mr. Ovens! Blessings!❤
I wonder if it was being in the exposed area next to the sea that stunted the radishes' growth. Exposure to the late summer, salty air might have been a bit much for the,. Or perhaps the lack of drainage, being perched on a rock was an issue.
Just speculating, I haven't ever grown radishes.
Man, I love the way you're just chilling your life... That bathtub scene really got to me...
You are a great friend to be with you chair all this amazing adventure thank you very much
Really cool underwater shot of those fish. 👀
It's just such a beautiful State, thank you for sharing part of it with us...
Dang you having the best of luck fishing now. Haha would’ve been nice to have that luck on the 30 day. Great video . Can’t wait to see what you did in Australia. I’ve the stuff you put out. I’ve learned a lot. Thanks for the time you take to do these
That was a beautiful house on the lake
Greg engaging in a bit of stealth camping.
I love you and Finn Greg.
You just take the time to cook steaks properly.
Thanks!
I miss Amos as well Finnley.
7:00 that's not how you do the camera trick where you walk away from the frame Greg. You're supposed to come back and pick camera back up after and edit that part out 😂
Finn is a real beautiful shaperd I had one growing up along with other dogs over the years I never took them with me when I use to go out camping and fishing well I really enjoy ur videos they help a lot of people I know I’ve learned a couple things I didn’t know thanks for the videos
the final shot of greg leaving the camera killed me hahahah
Glad to see you carrying that blunder buss!! The recent tragedy with the mother and child and the polar bear is a reminder to keep yourself protected. Every 30 years is too often...
Radish leaves are wonderful too! Love your adventures! Be safe!
Agreed 👍🏼 I love the long videos with your buddies
You need to use “daisy chains “! They work great on hammocks!
Nobody, absolutely nobody has an idea how big Canada really is.
You can ask a million people how big is Canada, and not a single one will be correct.
Such a HUGE country (or lets say piece of this planet) with so few people since when the earth was born billions of years ago.
Greg I love your videos. That pack is lighter now beacuse you have got some rest and eaten. Glad you found your camera
German Shepherds are the BEST and they do remember their backwoods adventures and their favorite spots!
Much Love to you, Greg 👍
That's cool Greg retrieved his big camera and it still works. Maybe the wildlife around the area especially the bears used it and filmed themselves while Greg is not there 😂
Lol
