Bushcraft Fishing Rod - Day 14 of 30 Day Survival Challenge Canadian Rockies

Uncooperative weather continues to test Greg and Fowler’s mental mettle, but they manage to catch and cook more big trout, as the two hope for blue skies in the second half of the challenge. Greg keeps upgrading his bushcraft rod and forages more edible plants, stockpiling them for the move into the deeper woods.
There's only one rule for the 30 Day Survival Challenge: If you want to eat, you got to Catch and Cook it.
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.

They should really give this guy his own survivor show. He deserves it!

[@tomsnizztomthom913]

At 490 thousand veiws id say hes made his own. Just fine.

[@vital_kool2414]

He was on alone. He survived 51 days.

[@riaranta3150]

Tomsnizztom thom exactly what I was gonna say. Give him his own show? Nope he did it all on his own (with Fowler’s help of course) 👌🏻

[@MrBlizzard769]

He has the freedom to do what he pleases this way . He’s his own boss . His channel is going to gain a lot more subscribers too . His channel is fairly new yet but he’s awesome . It’s only going to get better and better

but it isnt? WE can give it to this guy

Greg, should do some kind of regional edible plant breakdown. Could even make it a series. Good luck keep up the good work. Thanks Fowler for the good edits!!

[@lalaalalala]

i love the segments with wild edibles. every time greg gets into them it inspires me to go foraging

[@OvensRockyMountainBushcraft]

thanks Chuck i learned a long time ago that you need to know the plants to be able to survive a long time in the bush.you cant always count on catching fish or game.

[@lalaalalala]

The coffee talk the first morning about the "long pour" was hilarious. I would love to see that.

Greg, watching you and Fowler chat about coffee pouring made me crack up! I knew this episode was going to be awesome! The fishing rod build is so fun to watch!

[@emmittdariel4613]

i know it's kinda randomly asking but does anyone know a good website to stream newly released tv shows online?

@Emmitt Dariel i use FlixZone. You can find it on google =)

[@TheO416]

2:25 couldnt find anyone reacting on this so i'll do it, it actually does help a little with cooling off. another thing that works is stirring your coffee, even if you dont use sugar or milk it helps with cooling down

[@Mr30club]

I laughed so hard when you said "look at the flex in that" and whipped that switch all around haha

[@stephenwarrick8574]

Me also Good to say somebody else other than may saw the humor in Graig doing that the Because you can just tell he usually don't act like that in front of people or the camera but probly does when hes all alone then you could kind of see it in his face when he stopped his self real quick almost like he was thinking don't do that that silly lol

[@stephenwarrick8574]

I promise I do know how to spell lol I just use voice to text and my brand new phone is horrible at texting what I say but Supposedly my phone will recognize what I say and get better at texting what I'm saying but I think my phone is struggling because of my strong Southern accent I usually go back and check the spelling after voice to text But I did not this time so when I was reading through my text I thought these people must think I am a Poorly educated person just wanted people to know that is not the case I guess you could say my phone is poorly educated lol

[@peednuss3008]

who cares what people think bro

[@oneshottwokiller6831]

I felt that when you found your hook inside the bushes when trying to explain where you lost it hahaha I’m happy you found it

[@gearbanger57]

You cast that spinning rod just like an old fishing buddy did that passed away a few years ago. I always jokingly gave him a hard time over that even though he usually out fished me. Brought back a lot of good memories, thanks, & keep up the great videos.

[@stonetacular5651]

Love Gregg haha he’s just so blunt. After i’ve been camping for 2-3 days i usually start to get a lil grouchy...that’s just like soaked into who he is and i appreciate him for it.

[@lukevn1]

Love the honesty opinions that you have on these videos 😂 How nice of you to save the fish head for Zach.... Hahahahaha-:)). As you get more experience with the drone I bet we will enjoy lot more nature beauty from your point of view. Good Job!!!!

[@jocelyncallahan8937]

I'm watching every single episode! What a great experience!

[@chrisr3078]

I also love it when Greg shows wild edibles. Here my funny experience. I am really in to mushrooms. We have about 40 acres of woods and I know 2 or 3 kinds that are edible. This fall I went back with the hubby to track a deer. We have a creek that runs thru our property in the spring and fall that has about 10 feet of much one either side. As I'm walking I see this one very large mushroom on the other side of the creek. I'm sure it had a sign on it saying come and get me!! Well I found a downed tree that got me across the muck and creek. I still had about 10 feet of muck in front of me to get to the mushroom. I had my hunting boots on so said ok lets get it. Started walking across the muck and was only sinking in a couple of inches, made it ok and got the mushroom. Decided to take a short cut to get back. Bad mistake!! I stepped in one spot and the muck came right to the top of my boots. Not knowing my boot was stuck, when I made the next step, the boot stayed where it was and the liner came partially out sending me face first, flat out, into the muck. My first thought "O Shit!!". To get out of this position, (I'm 68 so you dont just get up!!) you have to put your hands down in the muck up to your elbows to push yourself out. One glove is still there!! Then in order to get my boot out I had to put my sock foot into the muck. By this time the smell is gagging me it's so bad. I finally make it out of the muck trap and find the hubby with his deer. I got that "what the hell have you been doing" look. He doesn't want me near him, says I stink!!. Oh, and the mushroom is leaving spores in the muck someplace.

[@onesadtech]

Oh man, glad you're okay! Not gonna lie I did have a good laugh at this story, felt a little bad, but you did say it was a funny one, and all us outdoorsy folk have been there one time or another. Thanks for sharing! Brightened my day for sure!
