I Ran Away from Home to Live in the Woods at 13 | Fireside Chat with Greg Ep. 4

[@LongRider47]

I did the same thing in 1972 at the age of 16. Read and studied the same books. I grew up in the desert but had mountains nearby. My father dropped me of at the foothills and I was on my own for the summer. Fortunately my father had taught me a lot. Best summer of my life. Nowadays I live in my woods off grid in a tiny cabin. Life is good.

Man, Greg, i love your teen adventure time story! Reminds me of my first time i tried bushwacking/ surviving on my own (lasted half a day 😅). I was 10 or 11, started out early in the morning, around 8 or 9am, nice sunny summer day. I had a tiny paper sack (for candies) filled it full of fish sticks, grabbed my walking stick (a branch broken off our old tree behind our house) and set off down the hill looking for adventure. No water, nothing to eat but my greasy fishsticks so after trying hard to ration them out, i managed to last til noon. From then on i foraged for wild strawberries, buffalo flowers (wild yellow peas), saskatoon berries, chokecherries, anything i could find to fill my growling tummy. By mid afternoon i was so thirsty i thought well, i could drink from the hose out front of the house, that wouldn't really be cheating. So i went back up the hill, drank as much water as i could, very tasty drinking hot water from an old plastic-tasting garden hose 😅 on a hot smmer day. As i turned to leave i could smell my gramma's home cooking: nothing in this world beats the smell of fried flank, fry bread and fried potatoes in butter. Man i was so starved i ran inside and sat down to a delicious home-cooked meal w/ my grampa watching me, laughing as i gobbled up my food, washing it down with glasses of milk. Forgot all about bushwacking that day, i tell you what 😆.

When I was 21 I went into the deep wilderness lived off the land without any electric power for 20 years. Saw very few people. Now I an 67 and because of what's going on in the world I am going back in a year or two to live out the rest of my life.

I had the same inspiration from Jeremiah Johnson . I'm 58 and live in my van while I travel around the forested parts of the UK. I'm in the Cairngorms in Scotland at the moment in amongst the Douglas firs and Scots pines . Me and my dog just soaking up the beautiful woods and lochs . The spirit of Jeremiah Johnson still inspires . As a kid I was always building shelters and lighting fires , I think it's just in us and always will be . I always enjoy watching your videos and love the fire side chats . Cheers Greg

Great story sir, much respect to you for surviving out there. I think many of us want to live out there in the wild but don't have the guts to actually do it.

[@jerrytalley802]

From what I recall, Dick only intended to stay a year, but stayed until he couldn’t stay he was too old. My Dad loved and introduced me to Dicks story, and I loved it too. When my Dad went into palliative care in the last 3 months of life, I sat with him and we watched some of the story on Dick. He passed away March 23 2018, and getting teared up thinking about it. Thanks for another great chat Greg.

[@rickyshappenings]

Mr. You make a lot of sense to me. I just saw you for the 1st time today on KZbin. I am a 54 year old grandmother raising 3 grandchildren. I always wanted to 'live off the land'. I learned to cook with sourdough, knit, and split wood . My husband and i used to put up 13 cords of wood every fall for winter. I used to garden, growing our vegetables and flowers. Long story short, i now live in a town with 3 grandchildren. I cant even have a garden here. Keep pursuing your dreams. God Bless. Im a new subscriber.

[@Vhalior666]

So few people ever realize their dreams in life. You truly are a Mountain Man and fulfilled your lifelong dream. You are an inspiration to us all, Greg. May you always be blessed, brother.

[@OlyCerrito-si3yy]

Life is good when a Greg video is on

[@oldgrizz8720]

I grew up just outside of Pittsburgh. There were wonderful woods and creeks behind our house. Weekends, after school, and especially in the summer, we lived in the woods. It was a great place to grow up. Close enough to home that our parents felt we were safe, and let us sleep in the woods for a week at a time. We built "forts", dammed the creek, learned to make traps and snares, and to pilfer from the neighbors' gardens at night. Wouldn't trade those days for anything.

[@marijuonko7092]

I'm from the johnstown area. We did the same things as kids in the 90s. Awsome times

[@erikkibler3466]

I’m from the York area and we did the same in the 90’s.i miss how the world was then…

[@zeldanrj3]

Love watching you Greg.. thank you for this story. You know, I too ran away at 13. It was 1983, my father had just passed, my mom was in her own world, and I split! I slept on the beach, in a tent, for a week. My 2 friends and I. We caught class, and ate them, had some canned goods. Would go swimming if it was hot, and enjoy the quiet evenings at night. It was the perfect peace of mind for me.

[@N2freedom]

I had the same plan when I was 14. I was inspired by the book, “My side of the mountain”. I had some skills back then in the sixties. Needless to say my parents also put a stop to my plans. When I was older I built a rock cabin in the woods and spent my time there and in the adjacent national forest being a “ mountain man”. I am too old now, but I enjoy your stories and videos, thanks for sharing.

[@Alsatiagent-zu1rx]

I was just thinking about that book. Thing is, a hollowed out tree makes for a crappy shelter.

[@debbieherrera1605]

Yah I loved that book but was never brave enough to follow through with it. Kinda wonder how many people would have been better off today if they had.

[@Tonyzipporah]

I also loved that book and would dream about living in a hollowed out tree with falcon to catch food- a great story.

[@Niki-xr6cw]

ah yes My side of mountain was. just awesome,living in tree listening to the trees crack open in the freezing weather ,hiding from adults ,stayed with m for years i’m 63 now read it when I was 12 .

[@kellyrobison917]

Although I am a woman, from the time I was 12 in 72, I had the fantasy of running away and living off the land. I did not do that but have enjoyed the outdoors ever since. I continue to this day, go as far into the wild as my toyota pickup will take me. Keep on with your stories! Really enjoy your films.

[@offgrid-j5c]

I do a thing called Primitive camping. I just go as far as I can or afford and find a small opening for a tiny tent. Many times I do it in April with -5c at night. Only 1 or 3 nights then back to the grind again. But I find it rejuvenating. (im your age)

[@davidsmith8997]

Good on your Dad for finding you and bringing you back! You weren't ready and he was there to bail you out before things got too serious.

[@moniquemannaert3468]

Then he still had to face Mum..

[@debbieherrera1605]

Between the movie Jeremiah Johnson and the books where the red fern grows. And my side of the mountain, it was a dream of so many kids that were born in the 60’s and 70’s. Most of us (unlike you) never did though. The closest we got was camping with are family’s. Happy that you made your dream come true.

I love the way you said this; "it was unrealistic, but it was quite the dream of mine. And now here i am im pretty much living my dream that i had when i was 13, in a way" our dreams may not look exactly how we imagined them as children, but if you keep on with something long enough you will eventually find a way to make that dream a reality.

I think our libraries look alike. Great story and great fun., thanks Greg.

[@Mark-pp7jy]

Mad respect Greg. I think most young people dream about striking out on their own, for various reasons. Some good, and some not so good. When I was in my early teens, my dad bought five acres outside of town next to the river, and had a house built. Despite everything Mom and Dad provided for us, I still thought about running away, because I thought they were too strict. I'm glad I didn't, and to this day I appreciate more and more how much they did for my brothers and sisters and me. Thank you for sharing your life with us, because perspective can be a magnificent gift. ✌️♥️ Mark 🇺🇲

[@jonfisher9214]

Me and my friends never ran away. But we would go fishing for days on end in the Summer. When we had to go back to school at the end of the summer we would still fish Friday nights through to Sunday afternoon. Coming home covered in mud and smelling of fish and woodsmoke was a sign of a good trip!

[@dekacoombe4595]

I did something like that when I was about 11 ish 1979 , bought My side of the Mountain and How to survive from the school book club , I would spend hours down the fields building camps and trying to catch rabbits, loved it , I still love getting in the hills , The Cheviots Northumberland UK , but it was definitely those books that did it for me , I still have them too , love your story Greg and your channel, thanks for sharing 👍🏻atvb Deka 👍🏻

Great story. It's pretty amazing you had gained a level of practical knowledge by only 13 years of age. Interesting point regarding the black & white plant diagrams; I thought of Into the Wild when you mentioned that.

[@Roarmeister2]

Your story reminds me a lot about "My Side of the Mountain" - a book set in New York and Catskills (and later movie set in Toronto/mountains in Quebec) about a 12 year boy.

[@crystalheartstar]

Your story of trying to identify plants reminds me of when I was first learning about foraging for natural dyes, armed with books with black and white line drawings of plants and mushrooms! I used to love camping as a kid and exploring in the woods. Also, do you remember the tvshow "Grizzly Adams" ? I thought it was cool that he lived in the woods, even if the reason why was sad, I think the character was written well.

[@generationxdad]

Just found your channel today and subscribed after the first few minutes of this video, Greg. You emulate what a true bushman is all about and I look forward to watching your other content 👍. My back story... I grew up in a middle-class suburban neighbourhood here in Southwestern Ontario and in the early 1980s when I was in elementary school, my parents joined me up with the local Cub and Boy Scout troop (SW Ontario Troop #19). I went on several summer and winter camping trips with my Scout troop and my love for the outdoors was discovered early on. To this day there is not much at a campsite that fills me with more happiness and nostalgia than a good crackling campfire and hearing the tiny little jet engine sound of a Coleman naphtha stove and lantern running on high 😃. As I entered high school and the workforce after a year of university, I still very much had a love for the outdoors. However, life took me on some much different and often difficult roads and I lost my way from the good old-fashioned woodland bushcraft style of camping I used to do and love as a Scout, as well as the modest but time-tested skills they taught us in it. You seem like someone who always had a love for the woods and enjoyed it as I did and was lucky enough to follow that love AND live in an area where you could develop and grow into it even more. I am now a father and halfway to my 51st year on this massive spinning wet mossy rock of ours, I have found my love of the outdoors again and feel it calling to me more than ever. Sadly, I still need to go to work every day for myself and my girls (I'm a licensed automotive tech) but I aspire to live a much simpler life from here on out and spend as much time as I can enjoying the outdoors and will hopefully enter my retirement years living much closer to and enjoying nature and the woodland with my girls. Cheers my friend🤝.

Cool story Greg. According to the dates I have 1 year on you. I never ran away from home, but my dad had 15 acres in Indiana witch was connected to about 40 acres to additional woods with a creek flowing through it. And I spent alot of time in the woods. Plus dad encouraged it, as long I did my chores. I spent alot days in the woods with just visqueen for my tent and I ate alot of catfish throughout the night. Your story brought back alot of old memories and I thank you. Keep up the good work Greg and God bless you and your family. PS. My kids like to camp too, with their children
