Master fire starting and build your skillset with survival expert Greg Ovens. The more you know, the more likely you'll make it out alive in a survival situation.
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.

Your best video yet. I might never need this but, it's great to have the ability to start a fire when you have to.

@jfields343 10 месяцев назад

I totally agree that starting fire is the most important survival skill. Warmth, boiling water, cooking and light. Without the basic knowledge of creating fire civilization wouldn't be what it is today.

Hi Greg, if you remove the metalpiece from your lighter you have still a chance for a little flame. Put the lighter in your hand for a while to warm it up. Now press the gas permanent with your left thumb and ignite with your other hand, and you get a very little flame. By removing the 'metalpiece' there is more oxygen around, and you can start a fire. Stay well and a big PETRI

Thank you very much Mr. Ovens for showing me how I can still do the bow drill with your log method, I have hip problems and find it difficult to to it the regular way now, though I had succeeded in the past , now I can try a new way which some day could be a lifesaver.

This is great learning. I seen this guy on RU-vid, the king of fire. His names David west. He polished the bottom of a coke can and started one with that. Awesome stuff 🐸🍺🔪🔥

@grizzlgrnMike 10 месяцев назад

Hey Greg! Love the videos man and appreciate all the hard work you put into them. This another great video and I'll definitely be learning how to do some of these tricks. I thought about something when you lit that last fire in the video with a lighter that had no fluid it became very apparent how quick big forest fires can start. I'm sure you know all about that and I'm also sure you've dealt with them actually.. I know y'all have because I watch your videos lol. Just an idea but using a lit cigarette and showing viewers how easy a forest fire can start by flicking a cigarette out the window of a car or even walking a trail in the woods or something, I just think that would be a awesome video and bring awareness to ppl how easy these fires can start. Even using these seeds you using in this video and or the dandy lion heads, Dry grass etc... Thanks for being awesome man give Fin a big hug for me it's always cool to see him. I'm disabled and can't really get out and about but if I'm ever able to It'd be cool to do a overnight survival or even just meet up and do some fishing or lobster catching lol. Have a blessed day and be safe out there. 😎💪💯 26:21

@OwenF1988 10 месяцев назад

Awesome tips. Ive used almost all. I remember Les Stroud [Survivorman] used a bit of chocolate to polish the bottom of a pop tin, angle it to focus the rays and then left it on a tinder bundle while he went looking for food and it was smoking when he got back

Powder in the lighter is a good one. I just spent five weeks hiking in Idaho. I can't walk past the hundreds of down and rotting stumps without thinking about your hacks. My hiking partner thinks I'm nuts but it makes a hike so much more enjoyable grinding up some powder and kicking stumps looking for fatwood - smells great. I need a partner like Finley. My Shepard / Lab mix dog died a few days before you drove up to pick up Finley. I miss her so much.

@NewHampshireJack 10 месяцев назад

When attempting any solar ignition, may I suggest wearing sunglasses to protect your eyes? At the least, keep a few pair of those disposable shades often handed to you after a dilated exam at the optometrist's office. Using the "floating log" to keep pressure on the drill while bow drilling was brilliant. I have not seen that trick before.

@carltonlhulings3815 10 месяцев назад

Nearly forty yrs ago, whenever coming down to the flatlands, would pick up any lighters as I walked along the road. Generally the trek back would be in the dark. Holding a lighter out in front and shielding your eyes with a cupped hand, the spark would light your way. Could end up with a sore thumb but better than falling off the trail. Mountainman Carl
