Ovens 30 Day Survival Challenge: THE MOVIE (Canadian Rockies) 

I clicked on this video expecting to watch like 10 minutes then go to bed. Somehow it's 2 AM and I have seen the whole thing. This is some good content right here.

"If girls don't find ya handsome... they should at least find ya handy." Best line in this segment. Hats off to you and your knowledge and skills. 🇺🇸

You do more "living" in one month than most of us do in thirty years. There's all sorts of reasons why most people can't do what you do. Either because of obligations or medical conditions, disabilities, and so on. If we can't get out there, then the next best thing is to see it vicariously through someone else. I don't expect I'll ever get to visit Spain or Japan or South Africa, but getting to see it through others is nice. Plenty of other people say something to this effect, but I'd have to literally tap out a whole book on my phone here to even come close to conveying the depth of this: Really, truly, sincerely, thank you for sharing so much of yourself with all us strangers out here. I don't know if you've ever been kept from going out there for an indeterminate amount of time, but... I guess imagine it like you were kept from someone you love, and you know that you may never see them again with your own eyes. How appreciative you would be to still be able to see them remotely, through pictures, little recordings, video diaries. To be able to see how they've grown and changed, and to know that they're alright, and doing well. Living happily. So many people are practically kept from the natural world these days, and we're very appreciative to be able to check in. To see that the plants are still growing, the fish are still swimming, the world still provides, and that there's still such beauty out there. Over the decades some of the beauty and wonder of the world was only visible through things like documentaries and publications. As wonderful as some of the things they've captured are, they don't convey reality too well. It's all so corporatized, and over produced. It's like it's all an act. When there's movie stars we enjoy, we like listening to interviews or personal takes because the reality is inherently more compelling than only seeing them in a role, on a film. What if when you spoke with your daughters they only read from a script, and played a role. That would be heartbreaking, because you don't want them to just read from a script, you want to see "them" and know "them". The "real" them. Not an idealistic version presented by the British Broadcasting Corporation. You bring more to us than just yourself, you give us a front row seat to the natural world, in all it's rawness and honesty. And you're the shepherd. I could easily go on until I exhaust the character limit of the comments section. Never has so few words been used to convey so much, in so little time: Thank you, for everything.

So good to have someone that knows plants.

this man just snorted fire to trim his nosehairs... i've never seen anything more genuinely badass

i feel like the real challenge for this guy is surviving in a city

anyone else notice between 5:30 and 5:35 something big swimming off in the distance of the lake? or am I seeing things?

I usually don't watch long videos of this type of stuff, but hey this man got me hooked up . It's been a long ride, i felt like i lived with you throught your journey . This video is perfectly balanced with entertainement , knowledge and wildlife.

For anyone who doesn't live in Canada; this guy basically IS the physical embodiment of western Canada

never thought id watch a 2 hour movie about survival/living off the land. but holy hell. the editing, the music, the jokes, the sheer entertainment. thank you! it was worth every second.

i always admire people with survival skills. these ARE the kind of things that SHOULD be taught in schools.

I discovered greg from alone, he was my favorite,very knowledgeable and funny ,,he's 60 but feels like a kid ! I'd love to hang out with him ,he could learn me alot!👍👍👍👍

I watched this with the intention of having it put me to sleep lol. Now I’m close to 4:30am and the movie is over. I loved every minute of it. Great content, thank you for sharing!

The most Canadian I've ever heard someone sound, I love it

This was on my autoplay and I ended up watching the whole thing and loved every bit of it.

I love the hand movement every time you make a cast, it's like you're trying to steer the lure with your mind.

This guy deserves more subs than what he has he puts in more work than most people out there.

Respect to the old guy notice how he snaps the fish to kill it instantly instead of leaving it to suffer out of the water, true gentleman and survivalist.

i think alot of peopl dont realize this man is 60 years old and still killin it :) i thought buddy was only like 42 or so , greg ovens , your're the man :)

My gosh I love Canadians. Such a positive attitude to life.

Has no one else noticed, that they edited weird stuff in like a shark fin ( 5:31) or an ufo? Love it :D

This video taught me a lot, but I also realized how little I know about edible plants. What beautiful country they were in.

You really are an inspiration, sir! Since i found your videos a few years back, i've watched every one and currently working through the regular uploads of Vancouver 30day challenge, but do find myself coming back to watch this one, probably the best 30day video on the internet :) You've inspired me to start Vlogging my little walks and hikes around Mid Wales, but also as my lads grown and we watch you together, we get more hyped about getting over to Canada and experiencing some of the amazing locations you venture to. You're the best Canadian Tourist Advertising Board there is...!!! Thanks for everything and especially the time you put into your videos. With love x

When he slipped, fell and split his legs 😂 That face was some amazing acting!

You know, most of us have a handful of experiences like this in our entire lives, and they're often among the best memories we have. These clever bastards have figured out how to make these memories their day-to-day. They've won at life.

5:29 Is that a CGI shark I'm seeing out in the water? lol

I got nothing done today. I couldn’t stop watching,this young man and this elder was amazing together Much. ❤💕 ❤️

Sat and watched the whole movie in a cottage with my mum in the south east of england! You guys are great we really enjoyed this thank you!

lol whoever edited this video put in little easter eggs XD I love it! 21:42 UFO 21:56 Creepy ghost

I love that greg knows so much about the plants and what’s safe and not safe.

Its nice to see humility in humanity. Oven you're wonderful. Wish for safe and happy experiences to you!

Do a 30 day winter challenge. Now that would be interesting.

this dude has taught me more than my teachers have in two hours . lol

I am 74 YO and have done some time in the bush (Africa, Honduras, Caymans, Yukon, Northern Ontario, Alberta, B.C., etc.). Seeing this video is so nice to remember the great times. THANK YOU!

Leaving a boat at the lake for anyone to use is the most Canadian thing I’ve ever seen

You guys are amazing and such a hoot 😂🤣 LOL. I thoroughly enjoyed your movie and really appreciated the teachings around all the different native plants. Thank you so much for sharing your experience, the things you built, the education, and the beautiful outdoors. Nothing like the Canadian Rockies. 👍👍👍👍🙏♥️🇨🇦

The pacing of this was done literally perfect. Absolutely flawless balance of information, entertainment, scenery, wildlife, everything. Best one I've seen yet.

"Once you break their neck they don't fight" me at laser tag

I watch them all, well working on it. I enjoy watching Greg's adventures. Well done Greg

Greg I’ve recently started watching you, and I think you’re awesome. Keep up the awesomeness. Finn is an awesome fella too. 🐕

The way Greg casts his fishing rod is very unique, I like it!

Greg is a really special guy, its hard to find someone so care free and goofy. I hope that he can earn enough money from his awesome channel to actually live off the land. I really love the inventive trap design videos!

Two years ago :( How time flies. What a great adventure :)

I am learning so much from you both!! It looks so challenging yet..sooo rewarding to have survival skills knowing GOD PROVIDES MANKIND WITH ALL HE NEEDS ON THIS EARTH TO SURVIVE AND ENJOY THE MAJESTY OF HIS GLORY AND HIS POWER!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤PRAISE ALMIGHTY GOD!!!!!❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

He casts his fishing pole like a wizard casts his spell

I just love this guys voice could listen to him for hours talking about nettle tea.

Worms and drones and unapproved fire. I wish the world would go Away. I love what you all do. What a great time.

“If the girls don’t find you hand some they should at least find you handy”😂😂🙏🏾

I'm pretty sure it's impossible to not Love Greg! Such a genuine guy. Always look forward to these Videos!

I miss being outdoors so much. Thanks y'all! Comments were great! Good show! Wish i was there! I'd be the wimp! Thanks!

You were so great on Alone! Thanks for getting me inspired to start a channel. Fellow BC girl here. ❤

As the challenge progressed you looked better and better, by about day 20 you were looking 10 years younger than the start of the video. This is the life you were meant to live for sure.

I didn't even realize what i was clicking on.. i have had to pause to go get myself a beer!

Hi Greg ans Zak, your videos are so heart warming to watch. And the way you guys just relax in each others company is just video gold. Much love and light from Bonnie Scotland. Paul.❤😇👍

“ the girl dont find you handsome, at least find you handy “ 🤗🤗🤪..love him

Is anyone going to talk about the shark lmao

Here's your sign you may be a mountain man, if you burn off your nose hairs with fire. 😂 Your absolutely awesome Mr. Ovens!

Can't believe I finish watching the whole thing.. oddity of nature,can't forget that... Well done on your challenge..

Bear Grylls secretly watching for pro tips and tricks.....

Quote of the day: “If girls don’t find you handsome, at least they should find you handy!”

Every time i watch you guys, it makes my day better. Thank you so much for getting me through a hard time. I will always love you guys.❤❤❤

That was a true adventure. Thank you guys so much for this. I wish that i could do something like this one day.

Every time he casts I expect the rod to go flying in the lake lol

Love the UFO’s and aliens that keep appearing in the background 😂👍

Greg's a wealth of knowledge between making traps and his knowledge of plant's....

Man that scene with Fowler dreaming about losing that fish rings so true. Weve all been there.

These guys found something they couldn't find in cities..... a peace

5:30 wow be careful with the fresh water sharks mate, they're deadly🤣🤣

Both of these guys were on my favorite seasons of Alone!!!!!!

Greg I think it doesn't matter weather you were the winner on alone . What matters is that you were GOOD ENOUGH to be there. Weather you win or loose you were chosen with your skills to get on.

the knowledge these guys have is wicked, the production is raw and relaxing. I'd watch these films over Bear Gryll's any-day.

It’s odd how something so uncomfortable like this seems the most peaceful for me..

Just started watching you Mr. Ovens! Top notch information and adventure!

Wow, love the space ship in the right side high corner at 21:41! Good show! Thank-you!

"If the girls don't find you handsome they should at least find your Handy"

Now imagine someone who doesn't like fish and finds himself in this situation!

yum time, outdoors, love it. been replaying your vids and it cures me until my next expedition. Thank you Greg, Finley Ovens and company. Thank you lingcod. Thank you lamb quarters. Thank you firewood

The dude making his way across the tree....and loses his balance....well, his eyes said it all. Interesting adventure.... amidst breath taking country.

This one video taught me more stuff than my entire 12 years of school

i never thought I'd see Frank Gallagher teach me about foraging, but here i am.

My friend Greg you can survive in any environment from here to Antarctica , you the man GOD bless

The VIEWS are Absolutely Magical & I learned a lot, thank-you 👍🏽 at 2:42 minutes into the video top right there’s a circular 🛸 ship in the sky, did you guys put that in there to see who was paying attention…? HaHa!! Good one! 🛸🌎✨And you never did show us all how you got your gophers! The snippet from “Waynes World” it sucks as it cuts, well I was laughing so hard my dog had to come see if I was OK… haha! Congratulations to you both you did it!!! 🎉😊 I grew up in Western Washington hiking/camping, Love it ALL!! ✨💧❄️🌎❄️💧✨

Love how he just wears jeans, a t shirt and an old jacket. No expensive gear for this guy 😂

I would love to see a competition where the winner or winners get to come out and partake in a wilderness challenge adventure with Mr.Ovens and Mr.Fowler.

You guys did so well that you built stuff you didn’t. Need to. Love it

Man....those eggs are killer bait. I don't blame you for jumping in on that trout. You did a Chainsaw Dugan on him....pinned him to the mat. What an incredible spot. Beautiful. Good song and great singing

I love how one is like "this plant does this and this that and..." and the other one likes to build stuff and eats anything Very good team

The kind of uncle I want to have if there's a zombie apocalypse.

Many adventurous faces of Greg oven 30 days we loved it

Just brilliant!! Stunning scenery 😊

how many people have mentioned the shark's fin surfacing on the lake when Zac is fishing (5:30 minutes) into the movie? I like little things like that! very impressed with the whole movie and how it's all put together...top guys

These guys: literally forging for food and surviving off the land Me: lying in bed eating my Halloween candy praying I would never have to snap the neck of a fish. Keep workin hard seriously this is so impressive.

Greg. Your an oddity of nature and don't ever change lol

Greg you're awesome I just watched your video when you went back to your hometown thank you for sharing your life

I love how he used the necklace to light the fire then a minute later dude lights a lighter to burn some string

THIS WAS MORE EDUCATION IN A MOVIE THAN I COULD ASK FOR THANK YALL SO MUCH SERIOUSLY 💯💯

Oven, you must bet the greatest storyteller of all times, it's so fun to watch and learn from you! And i never go to sleep cold and hungry. And those sharks looks angry 😁

I love this, these guys are so wholesome

He should have 1 mill by now

These guys: *survived 30 days in the wilderness* Me, sat at home: ahh yes just some enjoyable content
