How I Survive Wet Conditions in the Rainforest

It's still winter in the Vancouver Island Rainforest and Greg hikes into the wet and stormy woods to test his survival mettle. Facing floods, rain, and snow, he tries to stay warm and find shelter within his soaked environment.
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.

I'm so glad youtube exists for people like Greg. Man is living an adventure and we get to learn so much from his knowledge of the outdoors. So thank you Mr Ovens

@ellenkillough8752 Месяц назад

I've been watching you since you played on Alone. I've learned a lot from you. I no longer play in the woods because of an accident that left me in a wheelchair. I still love watching you. I a 56 year old granny.

This was a good example of "be aware of your surroundings and be ready to adapt". Thx for doing this, filming it and sharing it with us.

You’re freaking silly famous Greg. I had some guests at my sushi bar the other night and we were talking about salmon fishing and I brought you up. They were from Canada and said they knew you and watch your show too. Awesome!🐸🍺🔪🔥

@billt6116 Месяц назад

Tree bark from a half rotten evergreen tree is easy to remove. Placed "cup up cup down" Like a ceramic tile roof, they form a fairly waterproof roof. Then densely folidged branches on top help insulate. Try not to get wet, unless you already have a fire going. Starting a fire when you are dripping wet is nearly impossible!

@jacquisouza5008 Месяц назад

Greg, you need to put Fin to work. Carrying a stick is not helping. Get some Saddle bags for him. He's young, he can handle it. Enjoyed your video, thanks Greg!

@karennewbury6430 Месяц назад

Another great video Greg and Finn. This 'adventure' really shows us how difficult it can be to survive with changing weather and temperatures. I'm looking forward to your next fireside chat. Stay safe. Blessings from Ontario.

@101doreen Месяц назад

That's what I'm thinking. It just goes to show you how unpredictable the situations can be, and how to adapt. I think this is a perfect video. May not have been with Greg expected to show us, but, in hindsight, it shows exactly what we needed.

I swear we have crossed paths in my 46 years of life here. I’m five years sober. I as well have spent years in the bush as well. Love ya man.

@tamonettX500 Месяц назад

Excellent video! Proof that adventures in the wilderness don't always go perfectly to plan. This shows that you have to keep pushing on until you find what works in order to survive. Great lessons, dry creek beds filling, weighing the risks between hypothermia and safety of shelter (tree possibly falling over). I love the rock shelter and I'm glad you got a good night's sleep :)

@jimmullen3921 Месяц назад

@jimbunda46 Месяц назад

Great video Greg. The creek rising as it did was perfect for you to be able to warn of the hazards of setting up too close to one. Look forward to your next adventure!

@KnifeCrazzzzy Месяц назад

Man goes to show how big having a tarp/(shelter) with you really can make a huge difference. And the lightweight hammocking tarps that can be had for a reasonable price these days. You should have one in every kit. Turn one of these possible hypothermic situations into a nice day watching the rain out in the woods. Always enjoy your videos brother, keep on 🤙🏻

@suezaple4950 Месяц назад

I appreciate you showing us the different survival situations and what type of shelter area to look for and what to build. Fire being first makes sense Greg. Happy you found a shelter under the rock overhang and did get your fire going and nice one at that. Impressive video Greg and yes sometimes things dont work out in a certain area for the shelter but you looked for another area and it worked for you. Thanks for this .

I told you I would watch and comment on your video we had a short introduction at the shell in calgary before you headed west. myself and family love watching your videos. You my man are an inspiration. I would love to take a trip and have some adventures with you. If you ever find yourself in the kootnays come by for a visit and I could show you some great spots. I'm also a island raised man and have done alot out there. Cheers Mr Ovens. Let's do some stuff!!

As a Canadian Native myself. I used to watch Outdoor Boys as my go to outdoor vids, until I came across the one and only Ovens Rocky Mountain Bushcraft! Everything from the land, and to the accent, is all so familiar as a fellow “Neechie”. I myself wasn’t blessed with a teacher of the outdoors. I am currently in the process of self-teaching on the lands, have just received my PAL and I am saving up for a 7mm to get my first buck. This is a passion I want to/look forward to pursuing in the future, and most of my early knowledge (incredibly enormous knowledge) is coming from ORMB! Miigwetch

@allaraaver8432 Месяц назад

I've learned that the best way to get a good strong fire in with damp wood like that is to build a small fire and then stack logs around it in square shape. That will act as sort a chimney and create an upward draft over the fire. It burns hot even with wet wood and you can keep feeding it from the top until the side walls dry out enough and catch fire too which you can then pile into the fire.

@johndc7446 Месяц назад

One of your best videos.

@sohoceansurferor5929 Месяц назад

33:17 sasquatch watching you in the background, hehe. I've seen three cougars on Vancouver Island so far, one came down to the San Juan river for a drink, watching us the whole time, no threat. I saw one up while up in the mountains near Strathcona Park as it was getting dark - that one was huge and it was unusually dark brown in colour - it was moving pretty fast and in the dusk I thought it was a deer until I saw its long tail.
