How to Catch a Trout with a Mouse Trap (Ice Fishing)

Published 2020-03-21
Greg builds an ice fishing set line with a mouse trap and hikes around the local Rocky Mountain lakes, drilling holes in the ice, until his contraption starts hooking trout!

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.

    Watching his Videos is almost like having a father that is enthusiastic to teach you stuff. Im really grateful for this Channel. Keep it up !
  • @p8ryot
    I'm surprised you didn't invite Sasquatch at 2:56 to join you for trout dinner, but watching him teleport himself out of the scene at 2:58 explains why he's so difficult to find.
  • @fueymanchoo1291
    This guy is a man's man. He carries a spare steak in his pocket in case he can't go ice fishing for a day. I like your style sir.
  • Greg is a really nice, honest guy. Its refreshing to see on youtube! Keep being yourself Greg! I really enjoy your videos, especially when Im not feeling the greatest! <3
  • @Mr_Web
    You know this guy is the real deal when he says "I'm going to drill a hole" using his knife 😂
  • @mechanicjobs
    Some Person sitting in a ivory tower thinking they got it made not realizing this man is the one who is really has it made.
  • @risinoutlaw61
    He never asks you to like or subscribe; one of many reasons why this man is awesome.
  • @Nashthekid
    How have I only just found your channel. What a great guy you are, keep being you, NEVER CHANGE
  • @bt9925
    Greg Ovens is a legend. Protect this man at all costs.
  • Great survival tip for all of us sheltering in a cabin up north, where every cabin comes with a mouse trap.

    :The world: There's no toilet paper, food is scarce, and we're quarantined to our homes :Greg: Let's catch a fish with a mousetrap
  • Genuine, simple, and pure - I even let my toddlers watch you. One of my fav channels in YouTube.
  • @PeterJames143
    canadian backwoods man... heavy accent, walks through a foot of snow in a sweater, digs through the ice with no gloves, refers to one person walking through the woods as "traffic", is in "town" when one other person is in the woods :)
  • Did anyone else realise the Bigfoot when he was tying the paracord to the mousetrap
  • You trolling your audience while being an instructional is epic humor. Your log trap brought me here, but your friend in the background made me subscribe.

    No matter how much money you have, what others think, but what you experience and see in life is important. That's why I love hiking and bushcraft
