Finding My New Bug Out Location - Rocky Mountain Bug Out Camp: Episode 1

Ovens starts his hunt for an off-grid bush bug-out location for his predator-proof chicken coop and garden plans. Along the way he discovers an abandoned teepee and a variety of interesting forest findings.
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.

Did anybody else see the awkward missed hand shake between Greg and his friend when he introduced him? 😂 Happens to us all. Loving the videos, great fun.

[@24bidy]

lol yes that was awkward

[@bonahisme]

Totally 🤣🤣

[@arnljot9030]

Yea, you could see the face of his friend lol

[@mcbnj]

yea dude i kept running it back until i came

I love at 7:41 the guy goes in for a handshake and completely misses his hand.

[@tristanwinkler3659]

7:34 So funny when lloyd try to grab his hand to shake it and Mr. Ovens just get on with his introduction. 🤣 love ur videos. They are funny, smart and full of all that nice nature. Never Stop it pal. Big up!

[@aprilk141]

Friendly reminder, when using a chainsaw the proper PPE is ear pro and eye pro. Great video!

I love watching Greg's channel, it's the only channel that I can watch for 30 mins and the time just blow by lol.

So true.. I thought I 'd watch a bit...and the sun is already coming up😯..

[@experimentalsurvival7142]

YES! This will be AWESOME! that tipi in the forest was massive too!!

[@ZebraFacts]

Sorry for sounding like I am complaining Greg, but I'm sure we all would love to have more than ten minutes with you. Longer videos, please! Props to your editing crew. The creepy guy in the truck was a nice touch. Love the sasquatch strolling by once before as well. I still think sasquatch should be Greg's mascot. Fowler has the hat and beard. Greg's could be bigfoot strolling by off in the distance in each video. Just a thought.

Hey Greg, good luck with making a weasel proof chicken coop in the Bush. I will certainly be watching for the results of this project!

[@twolilfishies]

My dad is a salvage logger in those parts[naturally fallen cedars for shakes n shingles] He used to tell me *only loggers and pot growers go into the bush so far* ...Now theres Greg !🤗

Hi Greg, glad you found a location cor the chickens and garden.

[@danielsacco3103]

I say either, build new or rebuild! Both would be cool to watch!

[@gutspraygore]

LOL! that phone conversation was great.

Well that was short and sweet. I can't get enough of your videos. Hope the next one lasts longer.

[@Baltamore.the.chosen.]

Resorect..!!! Rebuild teepee and nothing like a CHEVY!!!!! Can't wait for future series videos..!!!

[@montanamann7237]

“Yea hi......I wanna order some chicks”.....”yea big Cornish ones”.....😂🤣😅🤫

[@markdavis9480]

Your the real deal man. I’m doing in the Bush every weekend here in BC too. Hurry up and make more videos your gonna be rich!

[@chrisregpick]

Always start under the log, if it is a clean attack. Do a pinch at bottom. An angle. I avoids accidental pinching of blade. Trust me, Start at bottom, when cutting log to pass on road. Love it bro, Van. I would love to learn some stuff from you.

[@bobscorpion9722]

Great job Greg!! Watching you from Pennsylvania, keep up the great work.

[@samoverlockme]

I think it's a good idea to have permission for the land. Also having some reception, though not as "outdoorsy", is good for safety. Stay safe out there! :)

[@shoshanafox727]

In Canada it's legal to camp on Crown (government) land in one spot for up to two weeks. Not sure about the chickens though 😁

[@scottroberts7875]

Greg doing outdoors stuff.. Perfect

[@LittleMikeStarCraft]

I find those old cabins and houses out in the woods all the time-- it is crazy, what a time it must have been to be able to just find a place in the woods, and settle down.. the times sure have changed.

[@SpinnGuitar]

wish the videos were longer I love GREG!!

[@dragondane4807]

that man?in your car, while you where cutting the tree - holy crab, that was scary!Who was that????

Access to clean running water. Beautiful plot. Gonna be fun and prosperous. 😃🍺

So excited to be watching your journey unfold

[@supersabra]

Those Waterworld references! Awesome!

[@joybickerstaff194]

Hello Greg! I sooo wanted to have a drink from that spring! I liked the design of the TP, I’m guessing the plywood were the beds, cool idea, I could go for that if I were younger, for me, they would be great for a storage area! but being n my 50’s, It would be fine for the weekends, but if I were to live n it, I’ll settle for having the bed on the ground. Sounds like u need to make a bed big enough for two 🤭, u might consider getting a few layers, u, she might want eggs for breakfast! U crack me up! Thank u

[@jeffs2905]

The flow is looking sweet in this one!

Best KZbin channel by 100 miles and I’m a big fan of plenty

Greg you should do one wild edible in each episode as the summer goes on. Awesome concept looking forward to more.

[@cherryseventeen]

Big fan of yours! Greetings from Japan🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵 love all your videos! Looking forward to upcoming episodes/series or even movies like 30days with fowler!

[@kamala5585]

Loved the video Greg, a little short.....loking forward for your next video.

[@abbo4600]

Gosh that phone call towards the end had me belly laughing 😆 💀

[@ZonDog]

Good to see another adventure from you Greg!

[@SwirlingSoul]

I would not use the old tipi. Somewhere you are allowed to be feels a lot safer. And you don't need chicken wire, you need anti-weasle wire! Looking forward to the build. And as this was in april, I bet there has been a lot of work done already. Really looking forward to see more!

[@todd4480]

Remodel that teepee! Looking forward to whatever you do. Thanks.

[@Stinger9516]

Really enjoy these videos! Been binge watching since I found these videos. Keep them coming really like how informative they are!

Way more interesting than all the other televised survivalist shows on tv It’s funny Greg reminds me of my uncle In which I shared this with him lol

Nice to see you about. Watch everyone. Cant wait.

[@Da_Pimp_Nugget]

Hey Greg. Good to see your still posting great videos. I’m back and thought I’d comment on it as I always do. Now this time I’m commenting before I watch the video. Haha it’s a little backwards. Stay well and safe bud.

Looking forward to your chicken coop build! Just got chicks, bought a small coop. Want to see what your building material will be! Had skunk problems before with a previous coop. Was told to use wire mesh underneath to deter predators digging.

[@CTS-USA]

There was a ghost sitting in your truck watching you cut that tree out of the road 😳

[@reidmcm7334]

Great video as usual Mr Ovens. Keep up the good work! Love how you consistently keep it simple and appreciate that when imparting bush knowledge to the KZbin world whenever possible you always show and tell instead of only the later as many in similar fields do. Much respect from Santa Cruz Ca. 🤙

[@desertriderukverun1002]

Good luck with the chicken coop Greg! We've tried chickens in Alaska and between bears, lynx, owls, eagles and neighbors dogs they just get picked off one by one.

[@jeffclarkofclarklesparkle3103]

That's awesome how nice people are or can be when you ask permission for things like this. And just resource collecting in general too. Most people love it and encourage it and want to learn even 😁 i can't wait to watch more. You should also consider rabbits too...best and easiest meat animal some say

[@josiahw3219]

This is going to be great I can't wait for more God Bless yall stay safe

[@mrd6438]

So awesome I'm hooked!! please don't stop making these vids!!

Sometimes around those old cabins you can find hops, which the settlers brought with them as a yeast sub. The vines can last for 100 years easily, I've found them growing in those places.

[@corollaae8645]

Man I’m pumped to see what you do Greg! Best wishes.

[@MtGMagic]

This is gonna be a great little series!

[@Archimark1]

Might want to read up on hens vs roosters, those males can cause quite a ruckus fighting.

You should do some Metal detecting by the old cabin. Thanks for video
