48 Hour Survival Challenge with 2 Items | Bushcraft Heated Moss Bed and Grass Blanket

Greg and Finn venture back into the bush for a 48 Hour Survival Challenge with only TWO items, battling wet weather and other adverse conditions.
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 most peaceful times of my life started camping with my mother on the edge of the Atlantic Ocean with just a tent and we would eat whatever we caught on the fire.. My favourite memory to go to in my head when life is tough is in the woods, I remember every detail. Life lately has gotten so difficult.. I am 50 have just been diagnosed with early onset dementia along with a slew of medical issues, my husband is in the end stage of heart failure, my bosses are horrible, I’m about to lose my home. Greg helps, his demeanour, his patience and positive attitude helps me distress and fall asleep. I am ever grateful for Greg and his team. Thank you

I had the moss and it was also wet so I laid about 6 or so inches of pine needles on top and changed them out a few times to absorb the moisture and it worked great . Once the hot rocks were blended in to the others and the moss was dry along with the rye grass , it was a good night . Continue to bring these great videos to us and others that never done survival.
