Wicked Cold Winter Survival Truck Camping | PLUS Wood Fired Lasagna Cook!

Ovens heads back into the Rocky Mountain Bush for some freezing solo overnight camping in his truck, cooking lasagna on the campfire, before testing the heating power of hot rocks, AND grilling a steak on the searing stones INSIDE the vehicle!
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.

My grandmother who lived through the depression,they used to put hot rocks under the bed.

[@Chadok89]

Here we used to have " bassinoires " (I didn't found translations out of bed warmers...) It's a kind of pan people used to put the remaining hot charcoal of the fire in, put the lid, and use it to warm the bed before going in.

You've never cooked on rocks before? Yeesh, I did that in boy scouts in the 80's, it's not some magical knowledge you just work with what you have. No big pan or griddle? Find a big flat rock and now you have one! And not to be mean but it doesn't sound like you spent a lot of time in the bush it sounds like you spent time camping with a lot of camping gear and not roughing it at all.

THE NATIVES BUILD SOME KIND OF SMALL HUT AND PUT HOT ROCKS IN THEM WITH WATER AND IT BECOMES A STEAMY SAUNA YOU SHOULD TRY THAT I DONT REMEMBER THE NAME

[@radikaali]

Sweat lodge maybe? It's warm place but different to a Sauna, Saunas are Finnish invention and they are heated over 200°F before going in and the water is thrown on the rock multiple times and you stay in maybe from 15min to an hour then come out to chill and then go back, Sweat logs usually stayed under 100-120°F and they stayed there for hours.

I've learned so much from Greg's channel. I've been a fan for a few years and picked up so much from him. I did get a backpack about a year ago and stuffed it with things he utilizes though nothing at all the things he has. Recently, we was hit with a record winter storm here in Texas. We had capped off our fireplace a year ago because honestly here in Texas it was rarely used. So prior to the winter storm, I removed the cap as I knew the possibility of loosing electric was a high possibility. I filled up the bathtub with water as well. I got my backpack out of the truck and placed it in the house and waited for the storm to hit. Well, it hit. No water, no electric and that unsettling feeling sat in. What do we do now? I utilized what I have learned from watching Greg's channel. Making a fire isn't impossible but to be honest, but takes a minute to learn to use a fire starter. Yep, I had one in my backpack! Thank you, Greg! Anyway, I had a nice fire going and maintained. I cooked, heated water and made some awesome campfire coffee in the fireplace. Honestly, I really don't think we'd had been very successful had I not been prepared from watching this channel. We'd had to call for help as so many others had done. My wife was impressed with the knowledge I picked up watching this channel and loved the food! Also, heating rocks work! We used one BIG ROCK to heat the bathroom. It lasted a few hours, but didn't mind reheating it and placing in the bathroom when needed. Again, I don't have a quarter of the survival equipment you have, but I did get the bare minimum and it got us through this record storm. Thank you, Greg, for sharing your skills with the world. Much respect to you, brother.
