A Day OFF in the Life of a Rocky Mountain Bushman

[@francdejong]

Just Greg being Greg doing Greg things, loving it!

[@Doreana48501]

I believe you have Greg's number 😅

[@MikeyCooney-rq4uq]

When society as we know it collapses, it's men like Greg that will adapt and survive 💪

[@MichelleMarie-z2k]

Mr Ovens I can not thank you enough for the joy you have given my heart and soul whilst my body is still recovering from a terrible leg injury. Watching you is just wonderful when one can not get out and about. Never change. Love to you and Finn from a lady of 50 in the 🇬🇧 God blessed us with you and may the world bless you darling. X Kindest thanks Greg Michelle

[@antton8575]

speedy recovery!

[@ALIENCHASE-qv9ei]

You speak with such love. Much respect from the west coast of 🇨🇦

[@Doreana48501]

Feel better soon Michelle. 💞from Canada

[@shaunwild8797]

Greg and Amos got me through a hard time last year when I was bedridden. I hope he knows he's much apricated.

[@vvogt4252]

Prayers for Michelle. Be Well Soon. Best wishes from South Carolina, USA.

[@scottcarlson6012]

A true "shade tree" mechanic!! Thanks for taking us along.

[@nancyl3843]

I've had some rugged camping, meaning being cold and damp, but I always had fire and food. What I've learned from you are ways to better prepare for cold and rain as well as some foraging skills. I still don't feel prepared to survive on my own due to my age and lack of strength (just over 5 foot tall and almost age 70), but with help and luck, I'm pretty sure I could survive thanks to you.

[@timhaywood1100]

Geez Greg I'm worn out just watching you relax

[@JohnSmith-nj4zq]

He is a true survivor. Not only in bushcraft but a mechanic out there in the woods as well.

[@bobmiller7502]

its great Zacs helping him with the video editing,makes all the difference, Gregs a nice guy he deserves a break, love and contentment from Liverpool UK,xx breaking firewood with a winch only you would think thats a good idea, we know the truth, you just want a excuse to play with your new toy, its very sweet seeing the enjoyment your getting,,xxxx

[@xpanda2469]

nothing gets better than winching your truck to change the breaks love it!

[@the-trusteeship]

Sundays are like that for me. Even if I really need rest, if I have work to do, I won't be able to, so I just get 'er done.

[@the-trusteeship]

I'd love to be able to share my skills more often, but what draws a crowd is the unmanageable situation, like a messed up log because names are showing.

[@robc5520]

This is the best comedy substitute on U tube... the guys in the office must laugh endlessly...Pure Gold!!!

[@fullmoonmaiden777]

When you said "We're doing brakes tomorrow, Finn" Finn stopped instantly and whipped his head around as if to say "What do you mean 'We', man? You're on your own sucka!" What an absolutely loveable pair! 👍 👍

[@HelenNetoken]

You were supposed to take it easy says the man dragging logs 😂..those crabs looked delicious!!

[@KentBDouglas92]

Brings back memories! Thanks Greg and Fin!

[@dsgarrett7568]

You blow me away Greg!! You just merged auto maintenance with "glamping"!! You are such a motivator, I love it. We need more people with your work ethic!

[@bassackwardsbushcraft8961]

I don't usually comment on videos, but am concerned about your safety. Love your videos by the way. Always use a sling or chain for attaching to something. Never hook the cable onto itself. It will break right there. Always open your hood on the truck while winching, if the cable breaks, it won't go through your windshield. This is also why you want to stand off to the side as well. Cable won't come straight back at you. Dampen the cable with weight, like a coat, as to force it to the ground as opposed to whipping up in the air. I'd get a couple snatch blocks as well. You'll find all kinds of uses for your winch. Really enjoy your channel and what you do and would really hate to see you get hurt and have to change your way of life that you seem to love so much. Best wishes and stay safe.

[@theodorerooseveltcharlesto1555]

I just replaced my transmission the other week. What a job that was but it is done and I thank God I was able to do it.

[@joeb3n]

I found this video pretty interesting pretty entertaining I like this day in the life of a regular old Greg ovens Bushman

[@karennewbury6430]

Looking forward to this tomorrow. Stay safe you two. Blessings.

[@karennewbury6430]

This was very interesting Greg. Stay safe, and keep bringing us videos. I always learn something.

[@survivewithjon]

What you learn on this one? How to destroy your truck to have a fire?😅😅😅 I love greg but C mon. He needs to think things out a bit more...

[@karennewbury6430]

@@survivewithjon Hello. Thank you for the opportunity to qualify my comment. I learned how to cook crab. I learned how Greg used the winch on the front of his truck. I learned the difference between disk brakes and drum brakes. Have a nice weekend.

[@ZonDog]

Another goodie! Thanks Greg!👍😎

[@MrNickoTime]

Nothing’s impossible for Greg Ovens

[@zaydentyson4872]

Greg ovens i been watching you since you started even on the alone series. We have talked over gmail a few times but you have taught me so much and ive came so far in bushcraft because of you

[@johnnyharperscoutstable5386]

I love how you make it like you’re on your weekend this time and taking it easy. This one’s a day off from roughing it.🤣 dude, always at it🤣🐸🍺🔪🔥

[@sherrybrown2464]

I don't know a lot about camping survival but I would feel safe with you

[@LFish637]

You’re so 😎, love Finn so much.

[@Crazyclips18]

Amazing job Greg you inspire us all

[@Wideranger]

I cannot believe it. I just replaced rear brake pads on my car. Drove for a couple of days heard bare metal on metal and had to do the front as well. Now I'm watching Greg do his. I feel like my life is just one big calliper assembly at the moment! 😅

[@AdventuresMadeFromScratch]

The sticker on the door is GVWR meaning 5,700 lbs is the most the truck and all cargo can weigh safely. That truck is about 4,200 lbs give or take so you can haul 1,500 lbs in it. I’ve learned a lot about the bush from this channel so I thought I’d return the favor with some vehicle knowledge 😆

[@forestwitch13]

Snow was beautiful. Fin looked like he enjoyed his steak. Awesome vid. Maybe I'll try doing my own brakes next time. 👍💚

[@AirstripBum]

I know he enjoyed it. After he finished, he sat there looking over at Greg as if to say, "Hey! I love you man!". LOL

[@gregorypyeatt1961]

Right on!

[@truckedupevs]

Nice looking truck 🙂 Glad to see the winch working out and the Ranger back on the road!

[@JeanetteHill-jm7fn]

Good to know how to do it yourself changing out disc brakes. Now I am thinking about having crab & steak yum. First time seeing Finn sit still for awhile waiting for his steak dinner 😅 I would too! ❤ your show.

[@johnnyharperscoutstable5386]

I can’t believe you still got that snow🐸

[@PRINCESSDREAMYLYN]

brings back the good old days of making do with what you had and inventing ways to get the job done. Thanks Greg!

[@iainpaton1865]

Keep the great videos coming friend and please keep safe from Scotland 🎉🎉😊

[@deebrake]

Thank you Greg another great episode

[@Destructor429]

Grab yourself a couple of 5 or 6 ton Snatchblocks. They will double the pull strength of your winch and it won't have to work as hard. I use a snatchblock and a tree saver strap and they work like a hot damn!

[@williamtomashowski1486]

Hay Greg and Fin,nice truck.I had a jeep with a winch,ain’t they great!Tanks again for a grand video “A”!

[@fishslayer62]

Hi Greg this is Marcie.Thankyou so much for the brake lesson.Im always alone in the bush.You may have saved me 1 day.Kootenay Life..Cheers!

[@erichorton9621]

Greg this is one of the best videos you’ve posted , absolutely love this one and would love to go on an adventure like this one and yes I laughed about hauling those trees on your front bumper.

[@jimsimmons8736]

Thanks Greg

[@icecoat009]

Always look forward to another video cheers to you and Fin godbless and stay safe

[@maxmac7845]

I take the cap off the brake fluid reservoir before compressing the brake pad piston to give the brake fluid somewhere to go.

[@redneckhippy2020]

you needed narrower trees. you wedge the log between the trees, and put the cable on one of the outside ends. you get a fulcrum bonus. would take a fraction of the energy required. if i remember i'll make a quick demo video tomorrow and post it.

[@QuicheDude]

Nice ranger my man!

[@Honk21]

I love it! Gettin learnt with Greg Ovens!

[@williamwert9684]

Love your videos Greg! Greetings from Pennsylvania 😊

[@antton8575]

love the videos man. greetings from Finland

[@chrislaughland7668]

U.K. here great videos Greg love the 30day challenges aswell, hopefully lots more to come, stay safe 💪🏻

[@majklnedic6358]

What a legend

[@dansapach552]

headed into deep bc myself right away with squeaky brakes....fingers crossed greg , seem to always make it out alive

[@codyhiebert1654]

Damn that snowfall is beautiful. Southern Manitoba we got very little snow this year

[@johnknipe7793]

Bro, I agree tomorrow the brakes will still be there. Keep on doing this awesome content that’s why we follow you. I love you, brother.

[@suezaple4950]

Interesting way to change the breaks in the woods and it works sucks that you had to do it in the snow, winter just doesn't want to leave . , Looked like Finn really enjoyed his steak such a good well behaved boy.Interesting watch Greg Thank you

[@jasonburns9320]

Outstanding video Greg! Love seeing a day in the life of a bushcrafter videos.

[@bigpimpinRay]

Nice truck Greg! Those ford rangers are built really well.. tough little trucks give that thing some love and hold onto that gem 👍

[@purelightlove8888]

Your idea of a day off is much different than mine. I sure in the heck wouldn’t be changing brake pads or thinking about how I left my chainsaw at home to cut firewood… Haha!! You Rock Bro! ☀️🌎☀️

[@ginawright3299]

Hello Greg and Finn. Great video thanks for the lesson too 😃😎

[@preachta]

Absolutely love this! I always wanted to know about the daily life of Gregg and Finn when you're not doing challenges or teaching us folk how to survive. Awesome Gregg-thanks.

[@davidbrennan869]

Excellent video Greg ,, you make it look so easy,, people with a garage would find that job a testing one 👍🤠

[@Dav3Campb3ll]

Great moments in Canadian history

[@Doreana48501]

Doesn't get more Canadian than this😅

[@oncenterline]

I cannot wait to camping too! Just as soon as I can get the brake fluid so I can FINALLY GO RELAX and bleed my brakes out in the GREAT OUTDOORS! AWE SO PEACEFUL! lol

[@ReclusiveMountainMan]

Two of my favorite things....fixing stuff that needs it and camping. Love the video. Thanks for bringing us along, again.

[@Rataxes_olsson]

Love you buddy!

[@lalaalalala]

finn is the cutest dog ever

[@roostermbakb6727]

I love these kind of videos. Not just bushcraft but just working with what you have. So entertaining and Thank you Greg for the adventure with you.

[@billellis3137]

Man after my own heart. There is always a way. I love it, bought all the conveniences. Except, the jack, the chain saw, the battery operated power tools. Yup sounds like me. Great video Greg......on your day off. 😁😁

[@pitterpatter917]

Really like the truck greg, I hope it goes good for you man

[@seths.8135]

Greg got a million dollar view while working on his breaks. God that country looks beautiful.

[@Doreana48501]

Canada is the most beautiful Country in the entire world. Thanks Seth💞

[@michellestoppa6162]

Thanks for that refresher course on doing this Breaks. I really appreciate it and the night before when you had the crab and steak and you hanging out with the dog that’s just awesome. Keep doing what you’re doing Greg, We appreciate you and your videos.❤️💫❤️🔥🔥🔥

[@calebtheobserver]

This was a great video, I love the simplicity of the day to day and its cool seeing the brake pad replacement, all necessary components of living independently.

[@PenntuckytheCrag]

Great video. So glad Flynn’s there to keep the two of you’re selves busy

[@gregorypyeatt1961]

Greg...you're the man!

[@danny88dh]

Good video greg I love the bush brake job very remorseful mister

[@Exoticformula27]

Amazing content!!!

[@leifallen2358]

Wow Greg you wernt lying when you said metal to metal 😂

[@Falorik]

You are such a great calm guy, I really enjoy watching you. I just watched 40 minutes of you changing breaks haha. Greetings from germany!

[@jerrytalley802]

Greg, we always STEAMED THE CRABS, BOILING TAKES AWAY THE FLAVOR. If you clean them first but steam them, the flavor actually gets into the meat better (old bay, that is)

[@TheLikeButton2]

True but boiling them you can use the stock for soup or Ramen

[@shyamlynn243]

Bless you Greg and Finn. I always enjoy watching your adventures. Take good care you two.

[@williamtorres-vm1tp]

Your such a legend! Much love bro💙

[@mikegibson3388]

Lumberjacking up the vehicle is a good wilderness technique for removing the tires.

[@joybickerstaff194]

Hello Greg/Finn!! The snow is beautiful! I love a gentle falling snow! I have changed a water pump, starter, alternator, spark plugs, fuel filter, oil/filter and of course tires, (a cheater bar would have made taking nut’s off easier ) I’ve never done break pads, I didn’t realize how easy they r to change, thanks for showing me how it’s done! Thank u

[@mitchellwest174]

Love your videos

[@jckelsey]

All these compliments and nobody bothered to remember how well you sing 🎤 😂 Thanks for your time and entertaining videos.

[@gregrudanec2227]

Well done Greg🙂🙏 37:04

[@Toonsforthebored]

Fin looked back at you like, you mean tomorrow your doing the breaks. 😂

[@CodyMaughan-ez5xq]

Thanks!

[@OvensRockyMountainBushcraft]

Thanks for your support

[@nickcarrado8801]

Great video! Maybe double check the brake pedal and fluid once more.😉

[@westace8056]

Pure entertainment with old school knowledge.

[@BIGMATT1989]

wish i could go on a Adventure with you and finn he is a vary good fire wood Collector.

[@mattmatth5181]

Hook your winch cable at the end of the log rather than the middle. Use leverage to your advantage

[@johngordonhouchen1312]

ill say it again, if I was glamping alone I would want Greg with me oh and Finn. Best wishes UK

[@KOOLBadger]

No such thing as glamping. You are just living outside. There is no glamour unless you are wealthy. Ive been on the road a year now. Its not all its cracked up to be. I promise you. There are great moments but there are more hard times, for sure .

[@wilbertwallace6655]

If you aren’t out there for the love of the work then just get an apartment and a job. No it’s not glamorous, but staying outside for extended periods of time can be deeply satisfying. Key is to stay clean, bath often, wash your clothing often, and be productive, there is no rest in the bush unless your just visiting from town. You got to love it.

[@Ron-Swanson]

@@wilbertwallace6655I hunt camp and fish in the deep bush lots, just because I’m visiting from my house doesn’t mean that I haven’t forgotten more about living in the bush than all the guys that do it because they don’t want to get a job.

[@Ron-Swanson]

And yes no such thing as glamping, your not camping at all if you pull a house and power out to a very public and easy to access maintained camp site.

[@slotdemons2806]

Glamping…a form of camping involving accommodation and facilities more luxurious than those associated with traditional camping

[@kingrafa3938]

Sometimes you need it Greg!

[@johnnyharperscoutstable5386]

He can do anything 🐸

[@dickynormus4360]

Killer boots man! 🤙🏻

[@billt6116]

😂 Like the rest of us, When you finally get a day off, And it's packed with all the chores that you had to put off during the work week! 🤪 That dungeness crab is still alive,... That clicking You can hear is his gills working. I cook them the same way you do but in the same water they come out of. It seasons them perfectly! .. And he looks delicious! As an afterthought, You may want to pick up a folding bowsaw and include it somewhere inside your truck. Maybe under the back seat. Chainsaws can fail too. It never hurts to have a back up plan!

[@WheresJoseToday-im1gr]

Loved watching Finn waiting for his steak. Very lovely beast indeed!

[@johnloyd3996]

Would you be able to to a trapping series again, like 7 days in the bush trapping and hunting also -different types of fishing traps!?!? Best regards from the u.k 👍😎

[@danbasham9207]

You may not be the king of sketchy ideas. But you are definitely a prince. Stay safe my friend.

[@karldanger44199]

I had to do my power steering pump in -30 in a snow storm in Alberta before 😒 definitely know the struggle 😂
