  • Greg hikes into the cold winter mountain bush with one item, determined to build a shelter that can help him survive the windy snowstorm and long dark night.
    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.

Greg, I think when you are doing these you should bring a few backup items with you, like some food and water backup communications, and a couple of other things. just because you are showing us what to do doesn't mean you have to take a chance on not making it out alive. no need to put yourself through this every time, we will still learn. we are getting older and you never know what can happen when putting yourself through this stuff. we may handle it fine when we were younger but there is many things that can happen when we get older. protect yourself!

Fowler only has 1.5 M subscribers, and he's been doing this a hell of a lot longer than you. That says it all. I bet you never thought you'd have nearly 800K followers. It's awesome that you stuck with it. Because you're literally the only one that "Lives" a Wildlife style of existence. Instead of all the others, like Mr. Fowler, that only do it on weekends or holidays. You're the real deal. So, thank you for continuing to do what you do so well.
