Fire Starting Jeans HACK

Greg demonstrates how to start a fire with a pair of pants in a survival situation!

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.

I appreciate you showing "mistakes" in your videos -- I learn so much more! Thank you for sharing your skills and your life. I really love watching your videos! 😃

I am in my van full time traveling the US and living off grid for over a year now. I appreciate this fellows videos as I watched him survive for a very long time on Alone, and I know he knows what he is talking about.

Just found your show & subbed up . Man, I’m loving your content . I used to be a big outdoorsman until I got in a really bad car accident . That accident put me in a wheelchair for a little over a decade . I fought to get out of it & am now walking again, with a cane but I can walk ! Anyway it’s time for me to get back out & your channel has been & is a huge inspiration . Thank you so much for sharing it with us all .

Videos like this one is why I watch. I truly learned something new today. Many thanks and God bless you.

This is the only YouTube channel that me and my girlfriend actually anticipated the videos coming out because we've watched every episode so We need more Greg...😂

This is handy to know Greg. I've often cut the outer seam from the denim fabric, (using old worn out jeans of course), so I can prepare the fabric for denim rugs. I've braided many denim rugs over the years. I've always felt uncomfortable about 'wasting' the outer seam. I wish I'd known this fire starter jeans hack years ago. Have a great week, and stay safe.

I am quite certain Greg has a new buddy that's going to hang around with him for a long time. I just love that Bowie knife. The sheer weight of that knife completes a lot of task's with great ease and at the same time saves a lot of time. Well done Greg.

I appreciate you showing the mistakes. Even someone who’s done this many times. Tweaking the bow drill until it’s right. Great content

[soulstorm]

This guy is full of just excellent knowledge for physical life! Also he’s packing legit wisdom sometimes too. Which is more precious than gold itself if we listen to it and then apply it to our own lives that is.

I work as a tree planter Im always camping out in the cut and your tips are so useful to me!

[Hotsauce-cjkj]

Absolutely, of course, undisputedly, without question; that I appreciate you teaching new fire starting techniques bro.
Likely my very favorite survival topic!

[jamesellsworth]

This was another great bushcraft/survival lesson. Outdoorsmen can lose a lot of things but we (probably) won't misplace our jeans!

[andreasmann]

Thanks Greg for this absolute outstanding demonstation of this prehistoric method of fire starting with modern tools, like a... Jeans and a Bowie knife. Really great!!!!

[AngelaM-ye]

Good morning, just when i thought i had run out of ideas of how to use my old jeans! This is such a helpful video! Thanks Greg and have a lovely weekend!

[johngordonhouchen]

ill say it, if I was alone trying to start a fire I would want Greg with me. and yes I know I wouldn't be alone its just some British humor . great videos man !!

[martwilman]

Thanks Greg, great video as always. I love your keeping-it-real- style and that you are not afraid to make a mistake on a video. I'm always learning from Greg 'Bushmaster' Ovens keep 'em coming! 👍 Martin from Switzerland 🇨🇭

[thevirginiabushcrafter]

Wow, I'm glad to hear you say that, "if you have to stay up all night to keep the fire going, then that's just what you have to do".. I've tried to tell people this and they've come back with an excuse. That's one reason I go to the Bush alone. Stay Safe

[DONOCARSON]
