National Parks Poachers
Just came across this channel on YouTube, two guys who claim to do survival / bush craft videos, and this one video / series takes place on a lake in Banff National Park. The lake is not mentioned but I know which lake it is. Several infractions are committed, including the use of drones, keeping of fish where it's not allowed, use of bait, probably random camping. Feel free to share the videos far and wide in order to shame these people, and if you happen to know these guys don't hesitate to tell them what useless trash they are.
Also, Parks Canada is fully aware and are investigating. Update: Both individuals, Greg Ovens and Zachary Fowler, were contestants on season 3 of Alone. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oB8LlILAo40&t=5517s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3RZ7...vCTPR&index=24 |
They need to be locked up !

I'd like to hear what PARKS says!

I find this hard to believe. Which lake is this supposed to be? Mountain lakes all look very similar on most video clips.
I think they were somewhere in the Columbia valley area between Invermere and Cranbrook. Also they would have to be very dumb to put up a video of themselves on You Tube if it was in the park. |
I can guarantee for survivalists they would of brought worms with them and not dug them up at a mountain lake.
Worms are introduced and found only around where people have lived for some time. |

Ya. Definitely not allowed bait there. Also they exceeded their limit assuming they had licences. Set line is also illegal. Illegal to keep fishing after reaching one’s limit. They need a permit to fly drones in the park boundary. Fires are only allowed in designated fire pits when a ban is not in effect. Cutting down of trees is illegal. Building a structure is illegal. These guys are idiots. |
The whole thing seems just so very odd. These guys have a large viewership, sponsors and a plethora of places to go that aren't as restrictive as a park setting to sustain them for a month, especially in summer.
I'm a little skeptic to the level of ignorance that seems to be on full display here, my gut says there has to be some sort of catch or misinformation. Interested to see how this one plays out. |

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/fishi...gling-1.165298 Do these guys even know there are rules and strive to follow them or just do what they want? Time will tell. |
Good thing you got a sharp Eye Fishpro. glad these turkeys got caught and hopefully get whats coming to them.
The audacity of some trying for fame and fortune or just for plain greed at the expense of everyone who follows the law saddens me. |

Wonder if it’s the same guy 🤔

I’m thinking that product suppliers who get behind theses kind of guys should be taken to task.

I believe this youtuber is bc based and most of his videos are filmed there. |
What is the mystery lake that is not mentioned? My deduction from the videos are that they are shot in the East Kootenays. Ovens video (first link) says he is from Canal Flats. Fowlers video (second link) says "This time I went up to The BC Side of the Canadian Rockies with fellow History channel Alone show alumni Greg ovens". Maybe they went over a pass and into BNP but it seems a far stretch to go hours north of Canal Flats when there are lots of places to film in closer the East Koots. I could be wrong though.

Another illegal act was killing the gophers in BC. They are only open on private land with permission. |
