Gold Prospecting and Gem Show on Vancouver Island (feat. Dan Hurd)

Greg meets ‪@Danhurd‬ at a Vancouver Island gem show, then goes hunting for gold in nearby riverbeds.
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.

How fun to just be by those creeks. I grew up with a large creek near home and love them to this day.

[@michaelcurtis6157]

Greg, been watching you since Alone. Watched your dog grow up. It was great to see Dan Hurrd, I've watched some of his videos. Being from Oregon, I really appreciate the things you all do

[@leifallen2358]

Hi Greg hope all is well, you have to be the most watchable person on KZbin I really love all of your videos but mostly the 30 day challenges I'm.sure I've watched them a couple.of times over now. Much love from Wales, UK 🙌

[@ScotteM]

Braided line and a great knot for that Hook!

[@cannibalwarlord1884]

2 of my favorite KZbinrs! You guys rock

[@karennewbury6430]

I always enjoy the variety of your videos Greg. I have to admit, I'd be swept into 'gold fever', and panning for gold is on my bucket list. Stay safe. I'm looking forward to your future video with Mr. Hurd.

[@MrSlickk]

He looks like a very wise man. And of course good looking too. That beard is Sharp! ✨

[@summerrainsong7506]

How could they not know who you are? You are amazing!

[@ThatvideoGuy81]

[@preachta]

Love this video. Can't wait to see more prospecting-gold-gems-precious rocks-scenery etc. Just fantastic Gregg. Prospecting and bushcrafting -survival really go together well.

[@Tania-CherieMical]

Kia Ora Greg. I'm a kiwi watching you from New Zealand 🇳🇿 . I have been a fan of yours for a while now. Hugs, respect and safety ❤ your vids are amazing

[@vernbolstad3956]

Dan has some really good sucker bottles to get everything you see in the pan as you go along. Great video! Love to see you out there looking for gems and gold on that long journey. It’s like my mom always told me “ you can do anything when you put your mind to it”.

[@22SAMURAJ]

Thanks for sharing, 😊 Best Regards from Sweden, 👍🇸🇪

[@ashandkenzmorris]

Two of my favourite youtubers, Greg and Dan are just some of the nicest coolest guys around!

[@jimsimmons8736]

Thanks Greg

[@AllenKeithKochovski]

Marvelous video my friend love your videos.

[@darthbader6506]

Fascinating! There's always something to learn from your videos, thank you!

[@daninreese2434]

My wife and I love you, Greg. You’re an inspiration and we want good things for you. We can’t wait to see what the future holds for you as well. We want to encourage you to build your cabin. It would be amazing to watch and a shame if you didn’t live out your childhood dream. Right on!

[@johanrynjah8241]

100% AGREED . .👍👍👍

[@HighPlainsHiker]

Hey Greg. In 6 hours, i've got a 19-hour flight to help some jungle researchers in Borneo for a few weeks. Needed some stuff to watch on the journey out and back, so I have downloaded 80% of your playlists. A total of 108 videos. That should keep me more than entertained. I will be taking one of your t-shirts out there with me and flying the Greg Ovens flag in Sabah. Great video, as always. All the best to you and Finn

[@jasonyoung3974]

I just changed it from 3.7 to 3.8... love it lol

[@forestwitch13]

Gold is cool but look at all the awesome rocks just laying around the river. My pockets would be full 💚👍

[@pwokus]

Wow, nature creates such immense beauty in all forms, across all different living and non living mediums

[@kingrafa3938]

[@OvensRockyMountainBushcraft]

[@pattibrown1809]

Great video Greg! I loved seeing all the beautiful gemstones (rocks)! Currently trying to escape the city (😵) to enjoy some nature. Love ya!❤✌

[@tails_on_the_trails]

awesome video! I am a new subscriber to your channel and wish I had found it sooner. your videos have tons of life saving tips and first hand survival knowledge. I am a gold prospector in Colorado, I offer some tips for gold panning... 1 use something to stop gold floating away like "jet dry", "dawn soap", one or two drops in the pan stops gold from floating. 2 when the pan is about half full tap the edge of the pan as it is tilted, tapping helps more than shaking back and forth at the end of the panning process. 3 don't pan in the river you will loose a lot of gold due to the fast moving water, dig a small hole 24" wide and 10" deep or more and fill with water. this way you don't miss anything and plus it's better for the fish in the river and the wild life, some of the dirt and rock that you find gold in also have a lot of toxic metals like "lead", "mercury", "cobalt", and so on. I truly love your videos dude! and I hope my tips help someone out there ✌😎

[@josephlwallssr6166]

Good job Gregg! Yes, the bank across the creek looks , promising,! This is a nice change up and interesting. You might hit it big!🙂

[@OvensRockyMountainBushcraft]

Biggest nuggets come from Australia. But gold seems to be everywhere even if its just colors.

[@survivewithjon]

When i pan for gold i dont shake the pan.. It trembles in my presence. Greg Ovens. ❤❤❤❤

[@LeeInMaine]

Great video Greg! I’m a gem and rock hound! I can’t wait until you do more with prospecting!🙏

[@ryguy5929]

I just picked up my first pan, so this video was perfect for me. I wouldn't want anyone else to teach me the ways of the pan, but Mr.Ovens

[@MrNickoTime]

Awesome video ya handsome beast! You should sell custom firerods with inlaid garnets!

[@that__one__guy5405]

Love your vids man. All y’all Canadians making videos like these are chill and just great. Nothing against the others doing it, I just prefer the cadence better. No cutscenes and loud silliness, just facts presented black and white. You’d be someone I’d be down to show you my trout spots in California. Thank you for making videos

[@Cozy08]

The thumbnail for this video is amazing

[@Led420canadian]

Dan rock same as Polly wish they make more videos I really enjoy watching them!

[@Williamleo71]

[@suezaple4950]

Interesting looking gems at the show, i feel it would be fun to go out to pan one never knows what you'll find . the garnets are pretty . hope you can get together with Dan for a video that would be cool. Thanks Greg for showing us how to pan very interesting.

[@darlynandersonvailatti2145]

It's incredible how Greg makes it look easy to find gold! what a legend

[@jadedchick.4352]

Yes a new video. I have been watching videos from 3 years ago. Binge watching. Lol😅

[@laurabutt4686]

great video..beautiful rock show, nice garnets you found too

[@bonnielouferris8888]

Great video Greg 👍 just getting into gold panning excited!! You inspire and motivate me!! Thank You 🙏🤍

[@JamieWright-hw7ll]

Time for an Australian visit yet Greg??? Huge fan down under 🙏😀

[@jdsevz]

I appreciate the content. Really relaxing.

[@Guanopup2830]

You're a bloody legend, Mate! Love ya stuff ❤

[@serenepeacefulrelaxingmusi3874]

Wow! I think I would have been jumping around, (metaphorically speaking of course) in excitement. I've never panned for gold or garnets before and it looks like so much fun. Of course, you need patience, but I have plenty of that so one day, maybe I will be in a place where this is possible. Just for fun, of course. 😀 I'm just as happy to see someone else find some too.

[@jackcarterog001]

Look at that stud!

[@CrispyChips007]

The mans looking like a gigachad in the thumbnail 😆

[@ActionMattGreen]

Makes me think AI. Its being applied everywhere now. Not complaining just observing.

[@S9UV]

Nice bit of flower gold and garnets 👍🏻

[@frankmarks713]

HAY my name is frank and I live in Palestine Texas been looking at your movie for a Long Wal now I really enjoy your movie doing a really good job if More people would Take there' kid's out in the woods it would really be great 😃

[@brianshort7921]

Thank You, for your content, Greg your videos are always so refreshing and I do appreciate that. Prospecting videos you are absolutely awesome it is something I want to do soon but I live in Michigan and there's not a lot of places to get gold here and the places that do have any gold it is miniscule LOL but I do spend a lot of time in Washington state so next time I'm there, you have inspired me to do some prospecting out that way. Thank you again for your content. Your videos are awesome

[@chrishorning7853]

Awesome collaboration. Two of my favorite content creators in the same video.

[@trishwest1809]

Your editors did a great job on your title page for this video. We were thinking you might want to change up your look to the one you have on the marketing page for the video (we like the editors style of hair cut, more trimmed up, and the shirt style ). It would make you look even more famous. From the video title, we thought you were going to pan for gold with Dan Hurd - we were disappointed that this wasn't the case. Thanks for this video and keep up the great work.

[@alan_whoneedstiedye]

Fun show and panning.

[@garrettmillsap]

Well done Greg.
