Greg Ovens recipes for hooch I must watch

[@DevonCorley]

My thoughts exactly

[@blessed77777]

Greg you’re my favorite hippy!!

[@alicerafferty9595]

Very interesting to see the red huckleberries. We only have the purple and blue ones in Montana. Magnificient idea to preserve seeds of the red/pink/white bush. Its fun to see you stirring with sticks in the wild. That it is going to be good wine. Thank you, Greg!

[@justinbarrientos5781]

It's actually better to get stem cuttings if you want to same genes

[@Homelessandsoberones]

Thank you for these Greg. For those of us that didnt have a good older brother or father. These are priceless.

[@mr.g6168]

Can’t wait to see the odd huckleberry bush come back in the spring

[@rickibelden986]

KZbin creator's have a harder job than one would think. Good wine is often homemade and I appreciate the energy it takes to make. 🍾🥂 cheers 🥂

never forget that greg had to wake up, unzip, set up camera and record, then re-go back to sleep, just to re-wake up to say good morning

[@patriciatyree3936]

I love the idea of preserving the genes of these berries

[@frederickmoller]

Yes that is really cool, I hope that it works!

[@ambersmith6517]

Friend opened it up several months ago but it did not start fermenting until I opened it up few month later Sorry for my bad spelling and writing skills I am Ben Amber is my wife of well over 20 years now You ladies might just like what the bible says about how a man should treat his wife When you find the truth it ends up being like your child hood thoughts and dream Jesus says you must be like a child Also a babe will get it so give up ALL the jaded hardened heart this FALLEN world has gave you and cry out ABBA

[@mellissam3296]

Been waiting for this to go live… I just found Greg’s channel and I am thoroughly obsessed! I’ve been binge watching all the old videos and fell in love with Hop a long and Finn!!! I’ve never been camping but I’m gonna plan a trip soon! Hopefully I’ll become as comfortable in nature as he is… so inspiring ❤

[@timg6176]

It takes time to adjust to camping. I'm talking camping... Not glamping which is what most people think camping is.

[@kingrafa3938]

RIP Hop-along

[@zulu5320]

Thanks for all this effort Greg. I enjoyed the video

[@niezohe7392]

As a home brewer I loved this. I'm ready to make elderberry, plum and blackcurrant this week. I will only drink it when watching your channel ♥️

[@CrispyBarOfSoap]

Let us know how they turn out. 🍷

[@brianscott9861]

Greg, I am very glad I watch your videos. If you need to survive, your skills have improved myself. Thank you Sir.

[@blademan175]

I used to make wine years ago from everything from honey to pumpkins. I have a Cabernet I bottled in 1996. No huckleberries where I’m at but I got a ton of sea grapes this year, May give that a try! Thanks Greg!

[@roscoexparfield4319]

Thanks for your efforts! I'm working to get my Bushcraft channel going. Lost a great job 4 years ago. My first camp will be on e-scooter and backpack.😮 Fractured my hip 6 weeks ago. I have a full hip replacement . I've watched you for a long time. I refuse to give up. You are a true inspiration to me. I just turned 65 hopefully I'll make it to 66 hahaha. March on I'm right behind you.

Love the image of the three colored berries in your hand. Also love that you got stranded twice! Once in the bush and once at the motel. Ingenious way to get out of the bush.

[@HirnsOnPoint]

I learned o much over the years from you and your buddies. I just love this man living in peace and doing things we all shouLD do,

[@carlRenner]

great video greg. i have been making wine for 45 years and love this process. you can absolutely, with minimal equipment, make very palletable wine from fresh fruit. the kit wines dont hold a candle to fresh fruit and patience is the key. do not hurry the natural fermentation.. been following your vids for years now and thanks for the vast buscraft knowledge you share.

[@Guanopup2830]

Love your content, Mate. Wish we could have some longer videos! 😁

[@JeremyDoesThings]

Looking forward to watching this one. The Huckle berries this year were big and juicy.

[@clairekennett5102]

Good things come to those that wait 👍

[@ThomasQuigley-b1b]

Love these segments. Please keep it up my man. I love all of these and thank you sir.

[@ZonDog]

My dad used to make dandelion wine. Thanks for vidio Greg! 😊

[@PretENDOgolf]

We make it here. It's all over the place why not

[@Dave-ss5pk]

What is all the ingredients and process Please. Much appreciated. Dave from Queensland Australia

[@OverlandOne]

Too late now probably, but Greg, if you have a tool kit, just put a socket on the crankshaft pulley bolt and rotate your engine clockwise. I had to do this with my 318 v8 in my van when I did the timing chain. I did not have a breaker bar, just a 1/2 drive socket wrench and I was able to do it. It does not turn easy but, it is not all that hard either. If it is too hard, just pull out a few spark plugs, but I doubt that would be needed. Probably need to replace the starter now too, or at least the gear on the bendix drive so it does not tear up the new ring gear.

[@capixabatupinamba]

The first time I saw ovens I think this is another Krazy surviver guy know I have a big respect and admiration for his work and lifestyle. This is how I want live all my life. Greats from Brasil brother we stay together. boa sorte e muitos bons momentos como deve ser a vida. Peace for everybody.

[@VinnyWanker]

Great idea with the bush, would love to see that

[@wehrmeister]

LOL, I guess you'd be the man to know in the joint, making hooch! Seriously, that would be a huge morale booster, and potential barter in a SHTF situation.

[@moegardner1]

Great ideas about preserving the seeds, you can never tell with those things but it is worth a try. I have experience with tomatoes of different types and found if I grew them together they would sometimes cross, like I had yellow cherry tomatoes and red pear tomatoes next to each other and ended up with yellow pear ones. It might be an idea to plant them a couple hundred metres away from each other just to try. I stored the seeds on paper towels and let them dry then put them in a paper bag for the winter. Worked great. Good luck, and thanks for the video.

[@ReclusiveMountainMan]

Hope your truck is back and you weren't stranded too long. Great video. Can't wait for the next one.

[@clivemacken552]

Hope the truck gets fixed and no more trouble. You can add a teabag for tanning. I am going to start brewing I sometimes change it to spirit to by distilling it for home purposes and I then put in small barrels

[@SamBass-dm2ow]

Wine looks tasty!

[@winner3733]

This is more than 3 years i waching your vedios from kurdistan the another part in the world . i hope one day i see you because you are my LEGENED .love and respect MR.Greg Ovens

[@PKAdventures]

i can not wait to see how your Huckleberry bushes turn out! i would absolutely try to grow them too. if you are able to grow bushes that produce the 3 colors like that, you could probably earn quite a bit by selling the seeds. i know i would want some

[@nancyl3843]

Pretty wine! Thanks for showing us how it's done.

[@tammieturner35]

Can't wait to see how you do it. I got tons of wild grapes, I may have to give it a go

[@blessed77777]

You should! It’s so good! 😊

[@mtgAzim]

Greg's truckside, bushcraft, home depot bucket wine is still infinitely better than any of Cobra's vile concoctions.

[@AllofJudea]

What you don't like mango strawberry baja blast mountain dew wine?

[@outdoorloser4340]

Lorne Armstrongs Budlight would EASILY destroy any of Cobes nasty concoctions 😂.

[@MichaelS00]

This is the wildest fan base venn diagram I've personally witnessed.

[@crystalheartstar]

This was so great. Made me think of when I'd watch someone go out back with a bucket and pick a bunch of berries and just make wine without all the modern contraptions. It can be done. It was done for thousands of years :) Cheers!

[@dunravin]

Ovens Rocky Mountain Bushcraft and Botany... 👍🧐🤪 Gets my vote!

[@Mike-u5o5k]

Yes that's such a good idea greg

[@chrisknauss6727]

I did enjoy the video.

[@forestwitch13]

My Mom would have loved this vid Greg. You brushing the berries off with you hairbrush would have had her laughing. She always loved your cooking and the way you measure things.❤

[@Recklooseranch]

Maybe...❤❤❤Greg merch where he's just cramming forest berries into his face😂❤ I love when Greg says huckleberry 😊 Westcoast it's more Huuuckllleberri

[@micahestep7679]

Ive been brewing for nigh on 40 years and think you did a heck of a job so far on that wine.

[@Christian2k02]

Saving the plant's genes is very very smart. My father grows peppers and if they have a plant that grows abnormally it actually sells for more due to the plant usually having a weird feature it evolved during the growth process.

[@juikke]

We use berry picking rakes for picking berries from the bush in Nordics. It is available almost everywhere.

[@Doreana48501]

Love the subject. One of your best videos yet bar none. Thank you Greg. That was alot of work, alot alot 😂 on the huckleberry wine💞💗💞

[@philinthephilippines]

Engaging the algorithm

[@karennewbury6430]

This will be interesting. Maybe in the next video you can use huckleberries to make one of your pies or crumbles? Maybe a jam?

[@richardbuttner1989]

Great video again!

[@nealmacdonald8191]

Remember me for a future adventure. I live in Comox B.C. have plenty of camping equipment and need to get in a camping trip. Too much retirement and staying at home.

[@hans5130]

You could take a portion of the huckleberry wine and make huckleberry vinegar. Bet that would be great also. So long as you don’t use sulfites. If you live in Alaska you could take that wine and make distilled spirits for personal use.

[@alexanderdiaz0512]

Ovens, please try to preserve more of those seeds. I would be very interested in buying some from you to try and propagate. Please.

[@karennewbury6430]

Great video Greg. I missed seeing Finn.

[@KingofCrusher]

yeah where was Finn???

Great video

[@andljoy]

Cool video. I dont think you guys have blackcurrants over in the Americas but that makes fantastic wine. Blackberry also grows like wildfire over here in the UK and that makes even better wine.

[@godfreydarby8717]

Hey Greg you will likely need to cold store your seeds fore a few months for them to germinate . love the content . :)

I never saw huckleberries in my life ever, I live in Europe. So hereby your answer to comment. Actually you are teaching me about huckleberries, which makes me eager to want to learn about their taste. :) Good luck Greg!

[@watermanone7567]

You can turn the flywheel by putting a wrench on the front of then engine dampener bolt and turning it. Also if you did not get the correct starter to match the teeth of the flywheel you can strip the teeth of the flywheel off. Wine looks good. Thanks

[@hubrisnaut]

I live in Maine where 90% of US commercial "wild lowbush blueberries", "Vaccinium angustifolium Ait." come from. I know a bit about it because my dad is from "Downeast", also where Zake is from, and where most of the fields are. If they are picked by hand, (which most are because the fields where they grow is so rocky) they use a "blueberry rake". I am sure the blueberry rake would work just fine on highbush blueberries and huckleberries. Blueberry rakes can be bought in some hardware stores and agricultural co-ops, or online. Commercial operations today use a berry "winnowing machine" to remove the few leaves from the picked berries. The machine has a fast moving belt the berries are poured on. They shoot over an opening that has a blower or fan that blows away the leaves and small twigs. I imagine you could just pour the berries in front of a fan. It would take a little practice to figure out the right method. The "rotting" berries on the bush should be just fine for wine. They are not technically "rotting" yet. Because of the high sugar content, fruits naturally ferment first from natural yeasts when breaking down. The huckleberries are fermenting on the bush. Once the sugars are consumed by yeasts, bacteria go to work on the leftover cellulose fiber, which is "rotting"..

[@michelleoconnor1624]

Hi Greg :*) So nice to see you upload another new video! * I really missed you!!! Lol xD . God bless you too Greg. < 3 And hugs from me to you < 3

[@jonathangauthier3549]

Greg needs to come to the laurentians of Quebec to harvest some wild grapes too. They grow EVERYWHERE! I live in Montreal, and I can find them in every second alleyway, overtaking chain link fences and consuming large parts of forested land. I mean, we have grapevines as thick as alder branches that take over the canopies of my favourite trail. If Greg wants to try his hand at making the wine of the first peoples and settlers of Canada, THIS is the place! A bit of Canadiana in every sip

[@Serendipity-Divine]

Id love to see another wine ...like dandelion? ...video but non of the purchased additives...true bush, ancestral type wine. Great video Greg, much Love from Okanagan B.C.
