0:36Greg discovers a split seam while preparing his inflatable boat beside the lake.
3:55Without patch gear, he shapes wooden pieces to clamp over the tear.
7:35A forest walk yields a cauliflower mushroom, which he later fries in butter.
9:20Greg launches the repaired boat and trolls for trout with a pink spinner.
18:48Two trout and gathered chanterelles cook together in a skillet over the campfire.

No patch kit, no duct tape, and an inflatable boat with a split seam: Greg Ovens has a little woodworking to do before he can fish.

In "Living Off the Land in the Rocky Mountains," he whittles two flat pieces of wood and uses a metal C-clamp to pinch the damaged seam shut. The boat holds air. While he waits to see how the repair settles, there's a forest full of mushrooms to investigate.

It's the channel's busiest video right now, approaching 390,000 views, despite arriving before this upload-free week. Greg makes a useful distinction once he's on the water: this is a camping, foraging and catch-and-cook outing, not a survival test. A cauliflower mushroom fried in butter supplies an early snack; later, two pan-sized trout and golden chanterelles become dinner over the fire.

Ovens Rocky Mountain Bushcraft added about 270,000 views across the week, while its subscriber count held steady. Daily viewing is currently below its usual level. Among nearby outdoors channels, Serkan Doğada had a particularly substantial week, while Tackle2thePeople is drawing more daily views than usual.

Greg's older "2 Day Foraging Catch & Cook No Food No Water Survival" also remains among his busiest uploads. But the gentler lake trip is doing the most work at the moment: enough fish for dinner, mushrooms in the skillet, and an improvised repair that gets him off the shore.
