Dave Thank you for being a stant up guy and showing us your skills for freeee Because some of us cant affort the money at the moment You are a true man and decent person Thanks again
Dave DOES NOT DISAPPOINT. He is a true Patriot that served our Nation, and he continues to serve the American people by sharing his vast survival knowledge - a vital service in these uncertain times. His videos are all substance and no bullshit, and he is a great teacher that shows you how it's done rather than just telling you. Hooah.
I come back to watch the videos in this series every few weeks. This is the best survival advice you will ever find anywhere. Surviving for 72 hours would be tough as hell, but knowing these skills holds off the panic and allows you to make very good decisions. Thank you Dave, you are the man!
I purchased the reusable space blanket you do your demonstration with from your store a couple of months ago. It is a great piece of gear. I have used it multiple times this summer with the reflective side out and it works extremely well for reflecting heat. Highly recommended for any emergency kit.
Hey man awesome stuff here. In scouts when I was a kid our motto was be prepared. In the army this was reinforced. A little planning will go a long way in any situation. Guys, practice these skills before your life depends on them(training witch teaches you what and how to practice will go a long way in mastering any skill). Thank you for your service to our country brother.
OH MY GOD it's you!! I have tried and tried finding anything about you since you left D/S Nice to meet you sir. Love your info dvds. Just found you so got a lot of looking learning and listing. Thanks a million for doing this brother. TOM
Dave, my 16yr old son loves this. He spends all his computer time watching your videos. I was always very active outdoors but became disabled four yrs now. I would love to be out in the woods with him. Hope he gets to meet you someday......
Dave, your videos are one of the greatest contributions to bushcraft in the entire world. Your unique understanding of "necessity" and equipment needs is far and away more instructive to those of us who try to be well informed and adequately supplied. Owing to you, I have purchased traps and other gear. I have ordered your book, "Bushcraft 101" and continue to learn from you. Keep on keeping on brother!
I love the way you demonstrated the setup procedure for your tarp in case of an emergency. That is something the Air Force didn't teach me when I was in service and glad that you took the time to make this video for us who didn't know the meaning of the duct tape on the tarp.
If we tabulated all the videos on youtube, Dave, you would probably be the one who consistently has the lowest amount of dislikes. This is a true testament to the quality of your information. Keep it up!
I saw every episode of Dual Survival and thought you where great. I have just found you on UA-cam and I am so appreciative for all I have learned. Thank Brother, keep up the good work and God Bless you and your Family.
Thank you. Such a deep wealth of knowledge. I first started watching you in Dual Survival and I could not be happier you've started and maintained this amazing collection of videos. Thank you again!
Dave, i have been watching your videos from 11 pm too 4 am, i find your survival skills/description of wilderness videos very usefull and helpful, i live right next too woods and im going too love going in there now cause theres so much ill be able too do know, thanks!
Excellent video Dave! I learned something new today.....XXX on bright contrasting surface meaning: 'no longer able to proceed, need assistance!' Very cool ~ Thanks for sharing your vast knowledge!
he gave the dvds away at the show he did. thats awesome i have learned well ill say i have been refreshed because he has made me remember my career soldier ex drill instructor grandpa taught me that i had forgot. but we never really forget anything just lose it for a while
Dave! Thank You for posting these, you put alot of work into all that you do and make it available for all of us! "Life's a Garden, Dig It"- Joe Dirt Thanks Again Brother!
Great series, Dave. Me and my two sons follow them carefully, learning with every single video, and then whenever we get a chance we go out and practice these new skills. Too bad we live so far away (Honduras) and travel is so expensive... Maybe one day we'll be able to come to the school and learn first hand. Thanks again, Dave. Best wishes.
Well that's clearly experience talking right there. It's inspirational to see such knowledge and competence and the skills explained in so clear a way.
Thank you Dave. Always a help. I bought that tarp and the field guide on knots from you but haven't tried using mt stakes as toggles before. Really easy. Really cool. God Bless. CURRAHEE! Oh yeah. I bought that companion from you too. LOL.
Thanks loads. Like UKFamilPrepper I'm in the UK and would love to get to your school. Your videos are excellent stuff. Informative and educational beyond most of what's out there. Again - thanks so much.
So intelligent. Man That was some good stuff. Big props to the PathFinder. Thanks I learned a lot on that one. I like the fact that he doesn't bring all kinds of gear with him. Unlike some other videos out there. Sheesh, How many ways of starting a fire do you need.
Great video, Dave. You got me thinking about how things in the military are commonly taught, but how few civilians know them. Such as visual signals, be they for rescue or distance communication. I would love to see you do a video covering visual signaling and communication. I know you touch on it briefly occasionally, but your knack for instruction would benefit many people if you did a comprehensive video on this. Many people might "get it" better than by just looking at an illustration.
wishmurderwaslegal, you should have come to my school on Michigan-Wisconsin boarder. Every summer I work with students on survival skills, not for if they get into trouble in the woods, but when they do. I have been doing this for 10 years now and loved every minute of it!
Probably ppl that sit behind their computers all the time and have never played in the woods as kids. When I was a kid woods was my territory, I was in woods all the time, making bows, making fire and cooking on it, it was the best thing. That's why I still love doing that.
Dave you really put out excellent videos, and efforts shows just how much you care about your students (UA-cam students or otherwise). Thanks! I hope to take all your classes in person.
Excellent videos. I'm sure you have already thought of this. But my question is if a person takes the time to prepare how can they be lost? Other than an injury. What I'm referring to is if a person takes an old cell phone and downloads offline maps. Whether the phone has service or not. It still has GPS capabilities. And if you put a solar powered cell phone charger which is just about the same size of the phone itself into the kit, you can recharge the phone whether you remember to charge it before you left or not. One step further is also having a Find My Car app. And before you leave your car set the location. Since it uses GPS. It would probably work like the map would. Though I have never used it on a phone without service but I have used offline maps and the GPS. You can also use most tablets. As long as it has GPS capabilities some do not. But all old iPhones and Android phones have GPS without any kind of service required. This would be a huge help to anyone lost. I guess you could say it would be dummy proof as long as they don't damage or lose their phone. You could store the phone and the charger in a Ziploc freezer bag. I only mention it because if a person were to take the time to download the maps at least to the area they are in and carry an old phone like this it could possibly save lives. Of course if you're injured that's another story altogether. You might know exactly where you're at and just not be able to walk out. But that all depends on a person's will to survive. The movie The relevant was based on the real life story. I'm a guy who was attacked by a bear and then left for dead. By Will alone fueled by rage. He crawled out of there and went several hundred miles. Of course a lot of people don't have that Drive to live. You have to be hardcore determined. And our society doesn't exactly breed that sort of person as much as it used to
i run a few FB bushcraft groups and decided to open my youtube channel a few moths ago to reach out and share the knowledge, we organised a tactical survival course last weekend and it was amazing, it was held in West Yorkshire UK and hosted by Sierra Survival, as I'm more of a bush crafter this was out of my comfort zone but i thought it should be shared. it would be great to get some support and comments on my channel so i can better what i do. great videos good content and a big thank you for taking the time to share.
You are right Dave, people experience "bush panic" like 2 miles into the trail. I think that was the situation you were creating...sorry for my mistake. Was the first knot you made with the shelter a fig 8 knot? If so, why didn't you just use the diamond gramite on the corner. Do a figure 8 and just tie that end to the tree and stake the opposite end to the ground. Then, I simply stake my left and right gramite to the ground. I just use sticks as my stakes. That's my version on that shelter.
Hey Dave, great video. I like your style and the way you teach things a lot! The only thing I want to mention is that the crosses on your blanket should be a little thicker. They might become pretty invisible from above when they are too thin. Take care. Greetings from germany.
Not sure if poison Oak is worse or not. But poison Ivy is a big problem for most people who are susceptible to it (most people are). It's a pain for many reasons, one is that the only real way I know of to identify it is by it's leaf structure. "3 leaves green that plant is mean" is the Rhyme you learn at an early age. It can come in many forms, but is usually a shade loving shrub. If you touch it, or touch something that has, the Resin (probably the same as in Poison oak) will torture you.
I know you are located in the eastern woodlands but it would be nice if you did some videos oriented around the desert west. I live in the Sierra desert which stretches from Canada to mexico, it's a whole different ball game here.I grew up here but I'm always looking to learn new stuff
Like the vid.,Was wondering if you have ever used Alpaca wool? I used an Alpaca serape this spring in the colorado rockies and was impressed at the warmth.
hi Dave, big fan and subscriber you should do a video on making a knife in the wilderness. iv made a couple out of slate and other rocks but they can only get a sharp enough edge for cutting rope.
awesome video dave ! thank you so much for all these awesome videos , god bless and keep you safe to keep these coming haha , these skill are definanetly a necessity
Dave
Thank you for being a stant up guy and showing us your skills for freeee

Thank You Dave , my kids 7and 11 and I enjoy watching and then going out side and trying what we have learned from you.
I follow your advice religiously. I live in a real wilderness area and I don't go anywhere without a kit. Great vid; Thank you!
I love the way you demonstrated the setup procedure for your tarp in case of an emergency. That is something the Air Force didn't teach me when I was in service and glad that you took the time to make this video for us who didn't know the meaning of the duct tape on the tarp.
It is soooo important to have clean video and audio on these outdoor instructables.
His videos is one of the most viewable.
I am going on a survival camp out with my Boy Scout troop this weekend, thank you for all these helpful hints.
Dave, you are the Best of the Best. Thank you for continuing to show us how to survive.
If we tabulated all the videos on youtube, Dave, you would probably be the one who consistently has the lowest amount of dislikes. This is a true testament to the quality of your information. Keep it up!

So intelligent. Man That was some good stuff. Big props to the PathFinder. Thanks I learned a lot on that one. I like the fact that he doesn't bring all kinds of gear with him. Unlike some other videos out there. Sheesh, How many ways of starting a fire do you need.
Cool can't wait for next part Thanks Dave for all you do
I have never heard of the garbage bag filled with leaves, that is perfect insulation from the ground. Thanks!
I super love this guy's intensity!
Great video, Dave. You got me thinking about how things in the military are commonly taught, but how few civilians know them. Such as visual signals, be they for rescue or distance communication.

You are awesome brother! That's for the great video. God bless.
the knots and tying is also very effective in "rope bridges" very effective and has plenty of uses that could save a life!
Great ropework. Great video! Thanks Dave.
I learn something every time. Thanks Brother keep'em coming.

You are still the best. Miss you onm the show. New guy sux.
Everytime it´s a pleasure to watch your vids. Very skilled...thanks for uploading.
Greetings from Germany (Marcus)

Great job as always Dave!
Great series so far Dave! Good stuff, thanks for sharing!
Thank you very much for sharing this video, you are the man Dave!

I've been thinking the same for a few weeks now. I'm gonna order some stuff from the store to support his efforts.
Great video as always. Thank you sir.
As always.... i learned something new... the 3pt shelter. Thank u, great video
I absolutely agree, even just the basics everybody should know.
Great work Dave!!!
Great videos Thanks Dave!
I really need to get up with his classes! I love watching you!
Great video dave. Keep it coming.
Thank for everything you do!
The video seems sharper and better contrast then most survival videos on youtube.
Very easy on the eyes and refreshing. 1080p someday?
Cool video. u explain everything well and clearly which is something many people cant do in videos
Another great informational video.
thank you dave your my hero......screw sports stars ...your a great insperation for me and my young boys they love u
Thank you for great tips.

Thanks Dave, Another Informative Vid! ..I picked up a couple of tips there! ..Tony.
Excellent video, you could however do a close up and slow motion shot for tying those knots, that would be helpful.
I know you are located in the eastern woodlands but it would be nice if you did some videos oriented around the desert west. I live in the Sierra desert which stretches from Canada to mexico, it's a whole different ball game here.I grew up here but I'm always looking to learn new stuff
cool tips dave. thank you for your time.
Kudos for all the blaze orange colors!
An atv is a good way to get out there and haul all your gear as well good luck dont give up
You're welcome in Tennessee anytime wearing that color shirt, brother.
Thanks a lot. Loved this DVD.
Cool videos keep up the good work Dave
