One Armed Bow Drill Fire

Greg shows us his preferred method in starting a friction fire with a bow drill, which only requires the use of one arm. If you’re in a REAL survival situation, there is a good chance you are conserving energy, if not injured. This method gives you the tools and strategies that will make it easier to start a fire in these dire circumstances.
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 I JUST SEE AN ELEPHANT SAUNTER ACROSS IN THE BACKGROUND?!? You never know what Greg is going to show us next. Love your videos, man!

[@luludawg1]

I may be stoned but I thought I seen an elephant with tusk walking in the background

[@jorgen628]

Hahaha the mammoth in the background was awesome lol. How many of us went back 10 seconds to rewatch that? LOL

[@danny88dh]

[@mellownessuperstar2618]

You dug into Zach's secret storage for grass! No wonder his pet elephant showed up! Lmao

[@TheEdub.]

Greg...the uncle we all want...

[@Fresjr66]

Just when I'm watching carefully for a clear shot of bigfoot to walk by, the elephant has to steal the show.

[@brendabest9086]

I'm just going out on a limb here 😂😂 ..... I think he will demonstrate that the Bow drill can be done even if you were injured out there . ????

[@flavadog17]

I died when he breathed in the smoke at the end and then said he wasn't going to start a fire because he didn't need a fire. haha

[@colemanharris5950]

Hey Greg! Fellow dry waller/mudder here. I love watching you show off your survival skills! Thanks for the videos- I am jealous of all the time you get enjoy in the wild!

That little wedge tip is not something I’ve seen before, thanks for sharing it. So simple and logical, but it never occurred to me.

Saw one of those posts on Facebook “You’re stranded in a post apocalyptic world. There is only you and the person you last watched on TV/Device etc., how screwed are you?” I posted “[Greg] Ovens Rocky Mountain Bushcraft on KZbin. I’ll be more than fine!”

[@willythomas584]

Thanks Greg for sharing. I really enjoy your knowledge on plants. I’ve been working on knowing my plants in the past ten years, mostly the medical plants. Food plants is my weakness and needing to physical touch and test them myself. I have a friend that Thought he knew his mushrooms and made a bad call and ended up in the hospital over it. I’m not sure what he ate or even what though he was eating. He’s embarrassed of the or deal. Being cocky can get you in trouble quick. Knowing every detail of a plant is very important. So thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@austincrazie886]

HI FROM MAINE!!! I TOO HAVE WATCHED EVERY EPISODE! SO GLAD KZbin IS WORKING OUT FOR YOU AND HOPEFULLY YOU ARENT STILL DOING THAT BACK BREAKING WORK! TAKE CARE💗💗💗

[@tommycapps9903]

Greg you are very good at mentioning the details that a lot of others leave out! For example you mentioned that you have to use dry wood for your bow construction! Thank you!

[@kentondurrant8017]
