Greg heads inland to the Australian Outback and decides to hike into the bush for a solo overnight adventure. He brings limited supplies, but still manages to catch and forage food for a satisfying cook on the water. Along the way, he marvels at wildlife only native to Australia, remaining cautious of the deadly snakes and insects that could end his trip early.

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.

loved this video mate, as an aussie and a avid watcher. Just be careful around those river rocks, buggers can explode like grenades if your not keeping an eye on them. Im sure you already know that, long time fan here, So good to have you in our backyard. enjoy it.

Here in Australia we dont even give carp to our mother in laws let alone eat it ourselves lmfao

[@And_so_itgoes]

The start of the outback is probably another 4 or 5 hours drive north west of here. The landscape Greg is in is just what we call “the bush” and is quite lush in comparison. The official NSW “Gateway to the Outback” used to be at Bourke, but they moved it back to Nyngan, and rightly so I think. It’s where the red dirt/ Mulga country starts and becomes proper semi arid. It’s an obvious change beyond the Bogan River. It’s probably similar to describing ‘the tundra’ I’m guessing. Which has a rough boundary and can be described as distinct but variable types of landscapes, because of natural forces and phenomena. Love everything you do Greg. Humble, knowledgable, wise people are so great to spend time with, even if it’s through television. You’re a very calming human to me ❤

[@quintenputnam4578]

It’s always awesome to catch a fish within a couple minutes of starting. Very clever boiling water in the rock depression. Hot rocks are awesome! Lots of interesting creatures so far too. Very interesting! I hope you got to enjoy some happy times with your daughter and grandkids as well.

[@TheNordicfrost]

Hey Greg. I know the whole point was to show us how to use hot rocks to boil water and what not, but for the nettles, all you had to do is wave them over the fire a few times. That gets rid of the needles, and I find it even tastes better that way. Would’ve saved you an hour heating those rocks. Cheers

[@davidboesenberg9712]

Never heard of that. Thanks for the tip!

[@TheNordicfrost]

@@davidboesenberg9712 NP. I discovered it watching an episode of Ray Mears. He's an old school British survivalist. He has a few series on YT, but this was pretty much before the internet, so don't expect HD quality if you go look it up. He has a series on wild edibles with a botanist that might be up your alley.

Ovens is here down under! Love it! Nice little creek there, those water dragons are fast as lightening and can vanish under the water for good amount of time too. I’d say that burrow, could possibly be wombats home. Ain’t no kangaroo that’s for sure, too big for fox. The Aussie heat gives the energy!! No way I’d survive in the Rockies with all that snow! Great to see you down under!

Keep at it Greg. I've been watching you from day one. Your humble and genuine personality makes your shows so enjoyable and easy to watch. I have gained so much knowledge from you that ive applied into my own life of a hunter and fisherman. Youve inspired me to have the confidence to try so many new things I either never thought of, or didnt think i was able to do. (shelter building in particular) The progress of your channel has been super exciting and great to see. Everything so far has been an amazing adventure. But now Australia! Unbelievable! Keep up the hard work, I wish you the very best, I cant wait to see where your next adventure takes us, and above all thank you so very much for sharing your wisdom with us all. 👍

[@lpschick7237]

I can imagine even on the “hottest” days in Canada it is no comparison to the heat in Australia during the summer. It’s kind of like people who grow up in warmer climates can’t handle the cold & snow like those of us who grew up that way. I think our bodies truly adapt to our climates & surroundings. Can’t wait to watch these adventures Greg! Thanks for reminding people about open burning. As a former FF woods/field fire were almost always an “accident” by a person who wasn’t prepared. Being aware of what’s on the ground surrounding your fire, making sure you have a water source to put it out & keeping an eye on it are all very important. You can always dump water around the outside of the fire pit to ensure the fire doesn’t spread or make sure it’s just plain dirt with no debris in it. Dirt/sand does not burn. Rocks are also a good idea to help contain the fire.

[@alanbalderson9765]

Yep. A very hot day in BC would be around 30, summers usually only get into the 20s and it will be even cooler in the mountains or by the water. 40 is hot for a Canuck!
