This is easily the best intro video I have ever seen... Mr. Canterbury, you sir are a terrific educator. Command of the knowledge as well as an approachable pace of instruction... Very rare, indeed!
I never get tired of Daves fire making an shelter building videos. Thanks Dave!
I love it when Dave takes something and totally breaks it down. I feel completely confident that I have another tool in my tool box. Wow
Has to be one of the best fire building videos on YT. Very few really push the "process" instructions. It's like the carpenter "measure twice and cut once" so process your tinder twice and light once. A newby could have all the right materials and still not get a fire just because of improper procedures. Absolutely great instruction.
Other than being there to smell the smoke, this video could not be more superb. I am SO glad to live in the right area for this all to be my back yard, so to speak. The main ideas are basic enough that it holds across all areas of the country, if you know your resources. Thanks again, Dave.
Growing up around fire and building fires almost every day from an early age one developes an instinct for these things but understanding it is a whole different thing. Eventough I concider myself very experienced in building fires I went looking for Daves take on this because he provides knowledge rather simply instructions. From knowledge comes improvisation and that is key to a positive outcome of so much in life, not just around the woods.
I've seen you make fire hundreds of times and I always learn something or feel that I better understand the process every time you include it in a new video. Thanks for re-hashing the basic stuff, I always enjoy it.
I love that you take the time to answer viewer questions. You're awesome Dave! Can't wait to take a class from you.
Brother David, you just gave this old retired geezer an idea for a new hobby. Think I'll plant a Tulip Poplar a few feet away from the campfire in my backyard and watch it grow. Might be the most excitement I've had in quite awhile.
Of all your videos, this is perhaps the most basic and most important.
Thank you for this video Dave. I have to admit, I was one of those people that thought you need to tend the fire until it was raging. I love this technique you demo. I will have to practice this method.
Hi Dave, been awhile since I've got to be out and camp. I like to watch a person that knows how to start a good fire. Good Job. Mike
It's pine where the pitch has been concentrated and the Wood is saturated with it. You can identify it by a strong smell of the pitch and the feel of the Wood is just that, fat. Usually it's found in damaged trees near the stump or broken branches from what I've seen. hope that helps.
Thanks for taking the time to explain the details Dave.
very well taught and explained Mr Canterbury,thank you
Every skill level can learn something from this video. Thank you for sharing with us Dave. God bless.
Dave, Great video. I've been around doing this stuff a long time and this was still a very informative and very well taught video.
Thanks Dave, the best I've seen yet. I like seeing more clips from classes.
Thank you so much for sharing, Dave. I appreciate your videos and you have taught me a LOT!
Wow...one of the most informative and best videos I have seen in a while...Dave you are a great teacher.
Dave is the man,love all your videos
Dave: After you make a quarter size pile of fatwood do u just scoop it up and put it under your triangle lay or is there another step?
Excellent video Sir! I think this could be one of your best instructionals so far. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Dave very good class on starting a fire. I have started my share as well, not friction, tho with alot of other means. I am thinking of presenting a class in the future on the same topic. I like how you presented the differences in tinder, and how you process each material and how it will react to sparks or flame. You did very well, thanks for sharing bro.
Great video Dave
This guy is THE guy. Thank you, sir.
this was a awesome video. You are an awesome teacher. thanks Dave.
Another great video Dave, thanks for sharing it with us
Good video full of great information thanks Dave
Thanks for the great demonstration Dave.
Excellent video, very informative and helpful. Thanks for the hard work and all the intricate detail - Great Teacher!. Jon
your a great teacher keep doing what your doing
yet another great video dave!
At 19:35 the video goes from you processing the fatwood to you igniting it behind the sticks. I couldn't see if you added anything once you got the fatwood burning. Would you ignite the dime-quarter size pile and pull the smalls directly over that, or would you also need some of the other material you processed? I just couldn't tell if the fatwood shavings perform as a standalone starter (like the mini inferno) or if they burn quickly and need to be suplemented by birdnests and the like. Thanks.
Dave, I've dedicated this year to improving my skills. Is it possible to make feather sticks with oak? In all the video I've seen, all have been soft woods [spruce, willow, poplar, etc]. In my area, the vast majority of dead standing is oak and have found it extremely difficult. I can produce shavings, but they are extremely difficult to light from a ferro rod [impossible for me]. Thanks for any help.
I was camping with my Scout troop and I'd like to implement your stratigies to our camping trips
Thanks for the online instruction in this video. Learned more. Actually seeing the use of the fat wood in that way was very informative. Also, good information on the tulip poplar.
Excellent class , wish I was there.
dave i like the fact that your posting reposting old videos for your new subscribers .. alot of questions have already been answered in previous videos. anyway keep em coming
Thanks, great video. One thing I am curious about that was mentioned briefly was how to harvest fatwood. I'd definitely be interested in a video about that!
Thanks
great attention to detail, good teacher
You're a wild man Dave.
This video is great, I'd love to go to one of these classes someday.
He's the best...our modern day Mors...thanks Dave
@ Musky Hunter Like Dave said, if you was in a survival situation, got lost, car broke down ect, being able to stay warm is not "camping" its the key to survival. Knowing how to make a fire quickly and efficently can be the diffrence between life and freezing to death. You can die of Hypothermia in the summertime man.
Oh I see... like that! Thanks Dave.
Awesome video brother thanks for the knowledge.
Ok so shelter is the first priority, fire is 2nd, sounds like I need to regulate core temp and these 2 are almost equal.
Thank you Dave enjoying what you do. to help me learn...SargeFaria is an asset too.
im jealous im on the west coast and see in all them guys there...it would be rad to get involved with these classes in person.
Great video Dave, your natural born teacher!
great class.
Good video brother.....Im sprucing up and been practicing a bit. Getting handy with my ferro rod but thats just one means, and may not always be there.
Mr Canterbury you are on fire brother!! pardon the pun. As always great video great learning from you.
Really had fun the other weekend putting some of your teachings into practice out in the woods, oh & I think I am in love with pine sap, that stuff just freaking rocks!
Take care.
Great video, thanks for the upload.
awesome video dave! i was thinking you should talk about when you get back to your fire or wake up and its just embers. when you can blow it back to flame and when youshould get another tinder bundle. should you have one waiting? great work dave ty!
I'm glad I found this. I'm practicing this like mad before I ever even get to Ohio. I'm determined to get my patch at all costs. Now where's my drum liner.... I need to go get some smalls lol
Un video muy bueno, gracias por compartirlo.
hmm are these 3-leafed vines wet or dry?
Nice. Another great video.
I was practicing with my ferro rod the other day and decided to try out a few paper products that I had around the house to see how they light up. I tried some toilet paper since I always have some in my pack and it took a while to light. When I tried a paper towel though it lit up in just a few strikes. What caused that? It seems like the thinner toilet paper should have lit up better for me. Then I watched you light that tinder in one strike and I was like "dang ive got a ways to go"
Not very pertinent to this vid but as Dave says we teach and learn together plus knowledge is power and the most meaningful economy. As a young boy carving little 6-8" sail boats I took to a piece of dogwood and found out with a quickness that it is one of the hardest woods in the southeastern forests. I'd say it's comparable to muscle wood in hardness. Hadn't thought of it till now but it might make a nice drill for a bow drill set, but my limit experience tends toward liking soft wood4both
Dave off topic, but are there going to be more Cabin Fever videos this winter with Darick and Jim? I was really getting into that series. Thanks Brother! Keep doin what you're doin!
Thank you
The new intro is *puts on sunglasses* explosive
can you please do a video on fire starting w/out getting on your knees? some of us have no way to get down to the ground and can't get on our knees
Dave, I just wanted to let you know how truly appreciated all this superb information is! I've often wondered how many people are still alive today because they took the time to watch the videos and TV shows from folks like you, Les Stroud & Ray Mears. (Although neither Stroud nor Mears has put out anywhere near the quantity of useful information that you have!)
BTW, do you know anywhere I might be able to find a copy of your book "Survivability For The Common Man"?
I see sacks on ground, I have been thinking for a while a good burlap sack or even a sheet.. to haul wood and other items. For example i was on a trek and had a lot of pine needles and cones but where to put it? Haversack right but thats full of junk already..?!
Great video Dave...
Personally... I just need to get out more and practice.
Thanks for the video
good vid as always Dave
this was a real nice video! thank you for it.
processing...Learn It, Live It, Love It!!!
Good stuff to practice, and remember thanks.
One if your best, brother!! I shared this on my Facebook page. Blessings from Upstate NY ( tax & personal-freedom Hell)
THANK YOU.
Thanks for the lesson/presentation. Nice upload xD
Dave what was the first primitive fire you every started?
Any videos on how to collect fat wood?
Nice.. Thanks dave
great vid presentation on fire
Like he knew what he was doing, good demonstration
Great how to video
Hey Dave, I live in Florida and am interested in takin your basic class. With plane ticket and class cost, I'm looking at $800-$1000. Do you do like payment plans for your classes?
Good Stuff.
good lesson..
Fatwood is Heartwood! The wood from the center of large branches or the trunk.
the VID is actually excellent , but cam operator hazta remove buttons and hard items from sleeve . mic is excellent and it adjusts well ... but close noise causes gain drop off :)
of course you can use red cedar for ALL parts of your bow drill set. you just have to be sure to stay away from the heart wood.
Wow I,m having tech problems. Wanna ask you to make more vids showing properties of different woods. I do not know poplar and neither do many others. Please talk about the properties of the wood not specific species. In different regions of the country species vary. Always look for the same properties.
I reallylike the music lol
AGREE 100% he does a great
Dave I wish you were still on Dual Survival it's weird now watching it..It's like watching Ren and Stimpy, But without stimpy...
love to learn the brain is like a sponge always absorbing new information to process .
I love how Musky Hunter can praise Dave and spit in his face at the same time. Sure if u go out to the local woods its camping. But ppl get trapped in the wilderness all the time and die without these survival skills. Ppl like u.
I really envy you all in these thick jackets and pants. Still shorts only weather in my part of the world.
It always seems so much easier when u do it ahah
Mini inferno rocks! Buy it. Try it . Love it
Love mine
Socketman - there is a video on fat wood
are you ambidexter Dave.
pine sap....
