  • เผยแพร่เมื่อ 6 พ.ย. 2020
  • Greg and Hopalong explore the Vancouver Island Pacific coastal rainforest, taking in unique wildlife, catching crabs with a bushcraft trap, foraging the forest for mushrooms and berries, fishing the ocean, and meeting a cool cast of characters along the way!
    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.

    The production value is getting better and better each video. Hats off to the editor/producer for the quality. And Greg does a bad ass job of making bushcraft seem fun and interesting

    You sir have enspired me. I spend 98% of my time in the woods- preserving trails, mushroom hunting, land ecology and my best attempts to swort a never stopping growth of poaching in the pacific northwest. My significant other and friends have been telling me for ages that I need to film what I'm doing just to show people what I see and what I keep coming across, but I've never though that my personality would come across well. You sir are so calm and informative that I think I'll give this a try too. Not to steal views, but just to document so others can see what's happening to our wild resources that are constantly on the short end of the conservation reality.
    Thank you for being you Greg.

Sober 5 years and always look forward to your outdoor adventures. Your content means more than you think. Tell us more about what we can source and eat in different outdoor settings? Thanks again
