Survival PTSD | History’s Alone Show Amós Rodriguez and Greg Ovens

How does the mind respond to loneliness and a restricted diet? How many days would it take for YOU to call the fire your “friend”? Greg and Amós revisit their Alone experience, discussing the psychological trauma and other mental health issues related to long-term survival.
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.

Conversations infront of a campfire is were some of our fondest memories were made.

[@user-ez5eh3xe9k]

This was the best video content from both Gregg and Amos! They were both so real. Would love to hear Amos talk more about PTSD and El Salvador. He lived a life most people don't know about & could probably help so many by sharing( if he is inclined ) Both of them are such good facilitators of this type of conversation. Camp fire talks ;)

[@jimsimmons8736]

Thanks Greg

[@traveltectours6561]

Absolutely addicted videos for me since the pandemic. It has gifted us so many beautiful things and personalities like Camping, Greg & clans. Much love from Sri Lanka 🇱🇰☺💚

[@swim2kill]

Greg should feel proud of all he had achieved as an outdoorsman. 51 days in Patagonia is tough. It's legit. There is no shame in not wanting to put your body through that again. Greg and Amos are 2 of my favorite contestants on alone.

[@Dewcing]

I clicked this not sure what type of content I was interested in watching yet and couldn't turn away! Two very cool human beings interacting over survival like this was a treat tonight.

[@foxrocksinsocks488]

Thank you for putting this together. This instantly became one of my favorite videos from the Fowler family of content makers, as their raw honesty and unscripted banter is exactly what two friends who have similar shared experiences would talk about while chilling by a campfire. Well done.

[@bay9876]

And Finn makes three all around the campfire. The cool night mountain sitting air around the campfire brings out the life and fish stories.

[@kdproductionsvlogs]

You did such a good job on alone!

[@nancyl3843]

I surely loved this campfire talk. It's kind of like poetry; it never lies because there is no need or even inclination. Beautiful conversation, and I am grateful for it. Much love to you both.

[@frederickmoller]

A great trio in my eyes, Thanks Greg, Amos, and Finn, I loved all of it!

[@karennewbury6430]

Thank you Greg and Amos. Insightful, reflective, deeply personal for both of you. Friendships forged for life.

[@myself3209]

It seems like they learn a lot from each other, thats awesome

[@troybranaman316]

This was an amazing insight on how you guys are effected by low food and being alone ! That you for posting Greg!! Great informative video as always Greg! Take care and stay safe my friend!!

[@jaketehan9178]

You two should start a podcast!

[@nearlynativenursery8638]

Amos you taped out in a blaze of glory. It was to keep you warm until they picked you up. All the Very Best to you both. Jim Rodgers

[@jerrytalley802]

Greg, you have earned the right to tap out, stay the course, or whatever you choose. People need to realize, you guys are flesh and blood, very talented flesh and blood, but humans none the less. Cool story on the fish retrieval Greg. Greg and Amos, you guys have already proven yourself, maybe just some one or two adventures so we can stay in touch, and live your adventures with you. If you can do longer things that don’t stress you out, that’s ok too. I now understand PTSD but from car accidents, got hit again March 30th. T-boned a guy in 1994 at 55 mph, now every time people roll up to stop signs, your mind thinks they are not going to stop. Imagine that happening 1000’s of times a year every time you drive. Now even more edgy that I’ve been hit in the side. Greg and Amos, you guys are a great team, thanks for sharing.

[@jamescanjuggle]

i remember hearing for ptsd memories that usually go into long term storage dont and end up being relived as active memory over and over again. Makes ya think what traumas we have ourselves and how it could even begin to compare against stuff like this.

[@ReclusiveMountainMan]

Would like to see more of Greg in his element (Rocky Mountains) even if it's just sitting around the campfire cooking. Hope he is okay. Regardless of the lack of uploads recently, I'm a die hard fan of Greg and thankful of anything. I'm not going anywhere.

[@wallytidwell1439]

Ya I was hoping Greg is ok as well.

[@chrismc.4437]

He was fine after a carton of cigarettes and a 12 pack of Coors😂

[@NZComfort]

Spending time out in the woods has become a kind of therapy for me. God willing, I’ll be able to spend more time doing that. Thank you for sharing this. I’m working through some things, and this encouraged me.

[@kingrafa3938]

Can't wait....

[@P3T3RXIII]

[@johnnyharperscoutstable5386]

Greg you rock! We’ve been watching for a long time now and you have the best personality ever. We would watch u read the dictionary mate. Keep being you, it’s your personality that makes your channel so special. So glad you decided to do you tube! Amos u are epic too! Right on guys!!!

[@jessegreywolf]

Thanks for introducing us to Amos. You guys both present really good content!

[@jasonbates2687]

Amos is a master fisherman

[@mannjaeger9158]

This was honestly so nice to watch. Gave me goosebumps. Thanks, Greg and Amos.

[@Kas3-]

I loved this! My favorite KZbin duo for sure!

[@forestwitch13]

Cool vid. Its nice to hear you guys talk about your adventures and hear your stories. Alot of what they showed on tv just looked miserable. You guys both did an awesome job.

[@ivanadams3809]

You men are both champs in my eyes 👍 two of my favorite collaborations

[@P3T3RXIII]

Its always great to watch Greg. And Finn of course.

[@johnnyharperscoutstable5386]

[@shaunwild8797]

I love seeing you two guys together.

[@Bethechange197]

Even in excruciating pain, you have such a sweet spirit.

[@gavinCZ]

Absolutely amazing viewing, thank you for compiling this video and much love to Greg and Amos for being able to articulate and talk about harsh things they have faced

[@jayvonnvargas4378]

Gold content! Thanks Greg and Amos!

[@stellaslattery3829]

How fun is this video. What a great set, relaxing, remembering, and sharing their experiences. Felt like I was sitting with them! Thanks!

[@harvardmcmillian2912]

This was one of the best Greg!! I watched the whole episode!

[@tylerlindell]

I really enjoy hearing you guys relive your experiences! I'm sorry it was so tough for you but you guys are heroes.

[@KWC0]

Probably my Favorite video of Greg and Amos!

[@ge8448]

Both of you guys are my heroes. Thank you

[@rscott1459]

Most excellent conversation! Very interesting! Thank you!

[@johnnyharperscoutstable5386]

Man’s (and woman)connection with fire is very real. It’s just all in how they acknowledge it. Love how you guys get to share your experiences of being out alone like this.🐸🍺🔪🔥

[@Stahlgewitter]

You know. If you say "man's connection," you've described what you're trying to. There's no need to go further. We are wasting ....time on this planet.

[@johnnyharperscoutstable5386]

I guess. Hypersensitive society nowadays. Bunch of bs pronoun crap… people garbage. Hard to care…🐸🍺🔪🔥

[@beatnik6806]

What do you mean "frog beer knife fire"? 😅

[@johnnyharperscoutstable5386]

Yeeeeeeeessss😆

[@Inosuke_Hashibira75]

You guys are the best

[@KraptainKrunCh]

I enjoy your conversations, real honest talk and no showing off. Even if I'm just listening.

[@RHYGAR1]

Awesome chat... thanks guys

[@michaelbell728]

Loved watching this one!! Reminiscing about some glory days. So good.

[@FBOMB_ANIMATIONS]

[@moseslebofa2701]

I really have so much Respect for this two Gentlemen....... Im learning a lot from following their experiences in nature. Thank you so much for the companionship,im always so immersed in the dialogs and experiences In the show.... Lots of love from capetown south Africa... 🌍🌍

[@LavenderLori406]

This was so great! Thanks for the stories!

[@Tune_The_Tone]

Thanks boys!!! Zach and you whole crew, Craig and Amos!! I'm getting older and having to consciously make an effort to get back to my roots.. Thanks for reminding me what I need to focus on. Thank you. I'm all about exposing my son to people of your caliber. . He's 14 and stubborn but showing him what your values are, he's slowly coming around. Again thanks for all of your hard work. It really makes a difference for us Joe shmos haha❤❤❤❤

[@olyman63]

Amazing show thank you guys. Have a great day.

[@rustbeltmachine]

The stories about manifesting were top tier. You guys were both very inspiring on Alone and I see you’re both super cool in real life

[@earlshaner4441]

Good evening from Syracuse NY USA brother and everyone else this is where the rubber meet the road this is why studying first Aid even taking classes and studying survival camping skills

[@wolfgangkranek376]

This was really something different and special in a good way.

[@stephenstephenson4594]

I really enjoyed both of you guys stories thank you so much for sharing that

[@rastaralph7154]

Fire is always your best friend when there's only you and it! 💚💛❤️👍

[@rastaralph7154]

Well we are really connected to fire especially when you need answers

[@Vivie17]

This was the best! 🔥

[@korruptedkaos1789]

Your such An amazing person Greg hearing yours and others story’s around the campfire is awesome. Hope to meet you someday and give you a firm handshake. Your badass!

[@TheFLOMAN76]

This was awesome! I love learning from you guys! Good stuff 🤘

[@biclighter3854]

First time seeing first time seeing Amós and seems like an awesome genuine guy, I gotta watch his season of alone

[@Doreana48501]

I love this. A good hot fire, cup of coffee, faithful fans and a good friend to shoot the sh.. with. Can't ask for better than that❤ Thankyou Greg snd Amos you're the bestest😅

[@That1E_K1129]

Isn't it the most relaxing/fulfilling thing ever? I'd much rather do that than go some nice place and be around people.

[@Doreana48501]

@@That1E_K1129 Totally agree dude. I grew up with a forest behind our house to spend my summers tramping the woods exploring having a fire fishing and swimming in the river so it makes sense that's where my heart lives.

[@hoperules8874]

ikr? got my cup of tea right here!

[@Hotsauce-cj7kj]

GREAT EPISODE! FRIGGING LOVE YOU TWO!! I’M DEFINITELY YELLING THIS NOW!!!

[@dayminner]

17mins point. Its weird but magical! The universe just gives after taking away. It doesn't make sense sometimes lol but I'm grateful.

[@rodneymiddleton1044]

Cheers Greg & Amos for your insights, thoughts and experiences with the shows you were on it was interesting but I have to agree with that doing this type of thing with someone else does make it more enjoyable and you don't feel so alone knowing someone else is there to talk to or back you up in any situation two heads are better than one. Great video Greg take it easy but stay safe mate.

[@houndogjr4290]

Awesome conversation 🙌🏼

[@michaelarchambault217]

This was excellent!!

[@dailyvlogs6666]

So good to see You Greg ❤️ I also experienced PTSD. This video is really lovely 😍

[@chiperchap]

I love your videos Greg but this has gotta be my new favourite. Thank you and Amos for that. Andy from Yorkshire uk

[@jamesperkins5075]

Great insight really enjoyed there honesty, two guys having a coffee or beer just talking about there adventures.

[@visnuexe]

You certainly went through ordeals on you Alone episodes! My hat is off to you both for your successes! The part of being alone in a survival situation is truely the most difficult part of it all. Strange how the mind works!

[@AllenKeithKochovski]

Marvelous stories my friend awesome adventures.

[@suezaple4950]

What an awesome chat with Amos and the both of you discussing your experiences on alone. and feeling that came about, Very interesting discusion Amose and the bird with his arrow still in it, the fire, and you even with your experience having issues with the PTSD. scary for you both.Awesome you both can talk about your experience and our friends better still, weird about Amos shelter. Love your get together with Amose found your discissions interesting as to what you both experienced on alone. Ontario

[@earlshaner4441]

I saw that show when his shelter burned down

[@elisehamilton7878]

Will listen to my fire more now. It's a good way of learning as we never stop. ❤

[@ZonDog]

Amazing stories guys! 😊

[@chrisgeoss2543]

Hey brother....hey, I'm 58 close to the next birthday. I've been camping since I was 3. I thought I knew a few things but no! Lol I couldn't do what you guys did. I'd tap out in 3 or 4 days. You guys put your body through a tremendous stress not to mention on the alone adventures. Yea, about 4 days is what I could do unless it was a real survival. Thanks for posting the video. I enjoyed it very much and all the best!

[@slick7209]

Great and Amos are awesome together and true survivalist

[@jamesellsworth9673]

Some good insights about the psychological impacts of ALONE.

Anxiety and panic attacks are no joke. I have been down that road, and still battling it.

[@momo9126]

What can be more amusing and interesting then two men sharing their experiences and stories ,sitting near the fire In the middle of the forest all relaxed ❤️

[@kingrafa3938]

You should watch his older videos.

[@alanwatkins672]

Awsome video

[@Eyes0penNoFear]

The book The Body Keeps The Score is a fantastic book about the way our body holds onto trauma. The book The Emotion Code is an amazing book that teaches how to let go of trauma.

[@robinfuentes3852]

Omg oven this is amazing I have been watching your videos for the last 3 years so many memories Amos (salvadorean like myself)Amos needs to come up with a Spanish channel lol saludos amigos..Damm man thanks for sharing your story with us and oven 👏👏💪you guy’s are great

Awesome job guys I would love to hook up and camp out and survive 😀 👍

[@222NancyG]

There's signs...even though some may be subtle...let's you know that you're not alone. I grew up knowing this and afraid to talk about it. Now my husband is in awe of what I can tell him of what's going on or going to happen.

awesome episode.... all of canada is doing survival under caztro

[@filipsaprkin]

Once you understand that seeing is not just with eyes, hearing is not just with ears, tasting is not just with mouth, smelling is not just with nose and communication is not just with sounds and light waves, you can communicate with the entire universe. Our mind is limited to few basic senses, you must learn you unlock more senses then fire can speak to you, sea talks to you, wind tells you a lot.. But not everyone sees, feels, taste, and more...
