Cooking Gopher Up a Tree - Day 29 Of 30 Day Survival Challenge Canadian Rockies

Fowler gets a pair of gophers with his slingshot, so the bushcraft duo cook the gopher catch on primitive fires up in their tree shelter platforms.
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.

Greg Ovens is now one of my favorite people on Earth and I’ve never even met the guy

[@Socooomfy]

Greg needs a wizard's cloak. It looks like he's casting spells when he casts.

[@cansfloatbottlesdont857]

Rhy Don He needs a wizard coat sponsor 😂😂🙌

[@atozer2547]

I cant put my finger on it ...but he reminds me of Mick Jagger when he casts 😂

[@Socooomfy]

Ato Zer So much kek 😂

[@williammorris8158]

Does need to learn how doesn't he!

[@daveygivens735]

PISCES HOOKATUS!

[@karennewbury6430]

Thanks again guys. You both look so cozy on your tree house platforms. Greg, you are the Crocodile Dundee of the Rockies. Namaste ...

[@olene6199]

Loved the beard "Father time". You always catch me off guard with your humor and I laugh out loud. Wonderful. Keep making videos. Your knowledge, humor and skills plus that wonderful hair will always keep us entertained. Til next Olene Out.

[@victorgarcia4145]

He catches everyone with humor. Survival is a serious thing that you forget Greg's funny moments

[@drdeadbeat1604]

This series is gonna need a sequel! Oh and I'm watching every episode!

[@SapioiT]

Only one sequel? To be honest, he could make a whole youtube channel about bushcraft homesteading, including making a wild-plants garden, keeping wild birds for eggs and meat, and so on. And it wouldn't be surprising if he built a 2-story house with a balcony and a rain-catching roof using only what he can find in the woods. The ash would be saved to make cement and whitewash out of it, and resin would be collected and molten over a fire to be mixed with the woodash cement whitewash to make a waterproof whitewash which needs to be liquid hot to be applied.

[@JollywoodJoel]

He casts his line into the water like a wizard casting a spell. The spell is called Food Conjuration.

[@saratht5807]

That's Cute!! Haha

[@EvertfromNederland]

Tap to add 2 mana

[@littlebrraatt]

I cant wait to see what other videos you have coming here soon. Thank you for making these for us and taking your time out to entertain and teach us something you care and love very much. Its appreciated.

[@OvensRockyMountainBushcraft]

Thank you very Amanda

[@OvensRockyMountainBushcraft]

[@davidashe7843]

Bro the old mans beard was classic 😂 I’ve never seen someone cast a rod n reel like u but hey it works. Watching every episode great video.

[@CyrusCageSCWS]

I've finally found someone who casts the same as me! I don't feel like a freak now 😀✌

[@BlazedWeed]

My second rewatch of the thirty day series is coming to an end... very sad

[@johngergen1215]

I'm watching every episode. Sad to see it coming to an end.

[@manfredovwales6338]

We still got one mor ep at least for naw

[@HowlingWheelsAdventures]

Casting master dancing, love it.. and the bear has his personal spa in that tree..amazing. We can't wait to see how you got home and what's next. Hopefully you will keep filming Greg, we love your videos and will be watching every episode again and again

[@xmonseortiz]

This series does need a sequel. Watching over for a second time. And it's so darn inspiring and relaxing

[@tylermarsh2211]

The fire in the tree Fort is my favourite part of the whole challenge. You move up that ladder like a pro Greg

[@aaronwilliams9424]

Honestly Greg, one of the best KZbin video series I've seen, please upload more though even just to let us know how you are mate, much love from the UK

[@TerminusVox]

Both my father and brother have 'repetitive use' injuries of their shoulders and Greg's cast reminds me of their sort adaptation to get the job done in spite of the pain. There's no doubt Greg has the knack for fishing 🎣 I'm just glad he can get it done no matter how it looks!

[@Thiscatsgotclaws]

Don't know how I stumbled upon this series. More than happy to have stayed for 29 episodes!

[@slipperygypsy1366]

The best description I’ve heard of Greg’s majestic casting style was it’s like he’s casting a spell

[@haileyjo6236]

"I'm watching every episode!" Tree beard musta marked that bush when he set up the trail cam and it got that bear all excited lol

[@MrNatebain]

The scenery is AMAZING Greg ... I must say, there;s some envy in you getting to enjoy such a beautiful spot... I've watched all your vids and Zach's ... It's been a great adventure ... Thanks for sharing

[@kennymay3036]

Most unique cast I've ever seen goes to Greg. What ever works for you. Watching every episode

[@fabsprout5301]

Loved watching all this series. For the last few days I've lived vicariously in the Canadian wilderness. Greg I love the way you present, you have an honesty and directness and humour which is a joy to watch. Thank you.

[@MDTTE]

Hahaha Greg made a whole beard ! He is just hilarious 😆

[@josephbragdon1316]

Great content Greg, I'm watching all the episodes, I like your extensive plant knowledge.

So sad to see this series come to an end. I'm watching every episode. Thanks for sharing.

Felt like forever for you but it wasn't even a minute too long for us. Loved the series, your commentary, and chemistry between you two. Please try to go out and about together at some point. Thank you!

[@tigerdog35gmail]

That bear was really in love with that bush!!!

[@suzannetodaro5494]

Yes it was….. it acted like my cat for catnip even big cats love it apparently they have videos on YT about it so cute lol.

[@D.C1111]

Amazing bloke :) Really has put me in a good mood this morning watching your bloopers. Hope u guys end up do more trips together, or document a bit more on your KZbin channel, if you're out there on your own. :) looking forward to watching some moose runs.

[@rendziero]

I'm so glad that we live in this age. Otherwise I wouldn't have found out about this amazing person. Love from Poland my friend💪💪

[@TheOwenby11]

I hate seeing the series come to an end I have enjoyed two different perspectives and seeing how you two work together. Once this is over continue making content for us to enjoy.

[@bmc2266]

I'm watching every episode! Loved this one and I laught out loud many times! I would like to thank you for all the effort and knowledge you two put into this 30 days trip. I've learn a lot of tips I want to try on my kayak trips. Looking foward the last episode and then your own stuff!

[@angelawilliams6496]

We need more vids from you... We desire more sir, may I have more please good sir?? 🙏😫🙏🙏💓

[@victorgarcia4145]

Greg easily becomes a likeable person. Very knowledgeable and humble

[@dusseaulta]

Thanks Greg and Fowler! Keep it up, I'm really looking forward to see you building your tipi. I'm sure it's going to be as awesome to watch. Take care guys!

[@kengvang1330]

The end is near....I’m going to miss hearing: “I’m Zach Fowler’s and I’m Greg Oven’s.” Sigh

[@matthewellisor5835]

I'm hopeful for a "one year review" trip to the camp. Even just a night or two to see how it's held up to the winds and rain. I can't remember which video or post and on which channel but something came up about how long the bank line would last. That stuff is the most compact and inexpensive way to take cordage 'to the woods' that I've ever been shown. I love the stuff! Any wagers on how much was used? (My vote is that they must have used 10 rolls but 3 were partial.)

[@ta2dan66]

Zach said 9 rolls. I'm thinking it should last several years unless a squirrel gets to chewing on it. Sigh.... Don't want it to be over yet either...

[@bobbijo6818]

Me too! 😢

[@ta2dan66]

Thumbs downs are just from kids statistically or from where the video was shared and they have no interest in the subject. Nothing to lose any sleep about.

[@MrPick71]

Love your knowledge and willingness to share that info with everyone....but learn a new way of casting....i cringe each cast...my only critique!

[@paulllhunterrio2169]

Idk. The man’s caught more fish than anyone who has ever been on Alone. I definitely can’t bring myself to question his methods

[@chuckguerin8141]

Lol same here, I cast with one hand. With crazy accuracy. But I bet No one has shown him the proper way. He self learned and was succesful!

[@alyxchristophe4385]

Nothing wrong with the way he casts. We are all different, we all see the world different and make our way differently. Doesn't mean it is wrong. if you cringe, it is about you, not Greg.

[@chuckguerin8141]

@@alyxchristophe4385 I didnt cringe, I just watched him cast like a spaz. His problem not mine. He does fine, caught the most fish. But could have done much better. And, No its about you and your soccer mom intellect.

Glad you did the casting compilation. Definitely the craziest castin technique I've ever seen.

You seriously should do a video class on that fishing technique, from the "magic cast," all the way down to setting the hook. I'm watching every episode.

You guys didn't come off as some Navy Seals. You are regular guys like the rest of us. This is why I watched every episode. You are Real people. Thank you so much for showing not only your strengths but also your failures. Because this made it Real for me.

Hey Greg. Gopher cooking in a tree. That is a new one for me. Your camp is going to miss the human habitation for a while till nature takes it all back and reclaims it again. You guys had a great adventure it seems. Thanks for the opportunity to gain some ever valuable knowledge from someone new.
