I watched your apology video for dual survival today I don't know how I missed it...I didn't even know or care because your character naturally carried you beyond the screen, beyond the tv antics and you honestly expressed yourself. Dave I hope all the good things in life happen to you and yours...you have brought out my love of carving and creating...I've made several slingbows, deer antler and broken file knives, pack frames and so much more...lately ive made 11 canes for veterans and family, supervisors and friends...all for free...I've made many things in my life including bongs n pipes when I was a young moron. but you brought my ninjaneering back. I work hard and poor and it killed me for a long time but because I've been crafting again the past few years my mood has done a complete turn around. I give away all my crafts and ive made more than a handful of hard men tear up handing them a surprise cane made just for them. I'm a simple man and get squirrly writing this...I owe a lot to you sir and never thanked you. so Dave thank you for giving my life back and even though I can't afford any merch I've told so many people about your channel and why I smile now...
Dave, I am so thankful for your channel. You've taught me so much. If not for you I would definitely die my first week in the wilderness. But because I've watched many of your videos I've been able to teach my friends how to survive and hunt. I thank you, from the bottom of my heart. As soon as I have the money I'm buying a lot of stuff from you website. Thank you for being an excellent teacher.
That is a good complete kit. You can live pretty well around the water. We do right now. Too many people think that they can live off of larger game. They are not always around. Plus, once you start moving around an area in the woods, the larger game goes someplace else. Fish are always there. Especially panfish. The water is the first place I think of when I want food. Thanks for a great video.
Just a tip, the 3/8" ammo for slingshots can actually be stored in older damaged sections of slingshot tubes, its a good way to keep them from being loose in a pouch or pack and they wont clink against stuff and scratch anything up, you just force one after another into the tube until you have filled it, its a good way to keep loose ammo from getting spilled. It also makes them more compact, just tie the ends or use tape or string to close the ends.
That is an awesome idea. Costs nothing and works. Thanks
That's a really good idea, I had never thought of that.
Like your videos. Don't stop. Like your shows from Dual Survival.
Excellent . I have a food procurement kit in my utilities dry sack that consists of a fishing PVC tube with tackle, a pair of rat traps, 2 frog gigs and netting + a net needle. A slingshot is in my future for sure.
Good stuff, as always, Dave. I have a very similar kit. Found an old FG takedown bow like that at a yard sale a few years ago, bought it for 2 dollars, it tested at 42 lbs. and shoots great.
Toss in a few cheap pair of reading glasses
DAVE YOU ARE AWSOME! I always learn more than i expect. thank you for all you do, a True Patriot
Learn something new from a lot of your videos. Today it was Steel Rat Traps. I had no idea they existed. Will have to look into them and possibly gradually replace the standard wooden rat traps I use now. (and btw people they work great for squirrel especially when baited with peanut butter). ,Never was all that good with a bow so will stick with the "sling bow" and save some space in my pack. I actually do better with it than a conventional bow. Also can use it for bow fishing and a couple of sets of extra bands weigh practically nothing. I would include a few "yo-yo" in my fishing kit. Quicker to set than making "spring" type fishing set ups. Set a few of those out....a few rat traps out and allows me time to scout an area and/or see if I can procure game by hunting while gathering any edibles that might be in the area.
Hey dave have you tried coldsteels big bore blowgun? It can also be a way to gather meat in the wilderness.
That simple frog gig can be surprisingly productive on fish in the shallows.
You know I'm not that suprised, but probably still wouldn't have thought of it having never used one (wetlands are drying out around here, long drought, development, cities abusing them, no amphibians left b/c of crop and mosquito spray, no snakes).
+Bobby Harper Worked great for me on the carps...
Thanks Dave, Great video. Thanks for keeping it practical! Thanks for not including a two foot long "Rambo Knife" Every time I just about get my scouts convinced that those things are B.S. Another so called "Survival Expert" makes a video extolling the virtues of the things and I have to start all over!
Really good and thought provoking video, Dave. I really had not thought about the trapping aspects of such a kit before, but now believe it should be included. One question, though. With your take-down arrows ( which, by the way, I think are a brilliant inclusion to the kit as they allow for so much versatility ) couldn't those also be used with your sling shot, provided you had the right type, to gather smaller game at shorter ranges if you were without a bow? Again, a great video, Thanks for sharing.
+TheRealWorldPrepper For sure brother, I didn't include my adapter in this video because I wanted it to look a bit more informational and less sales pitchy if you know what I mean
+wildernessoutfitters Yea. The comments section EXPLODES with negative comments as soon as you try to sell a product. Calling you a sellout, etc. Everybody has a family to feed. Keep the great videos coming
Another great video, thanks Dave!
I'd love seeing Dave on the Alone show.
You have a gift Dave, I must give you that. Ive learned so much from watching you. I must say this, from your teachings, I posses in my arsenal many of the items you discuss. Was at the store one time and I grabbed a few sling shots, momma said why in the hell you getting those, and I said because Dave has them so they must be important. I'm pretty good with a sling shot now. Funny I have a metal box full of guns and ammo but my favorite things are all my traps, gear and my EDC side knife.
You knocked it out the park with this one Dave, and thx for for the trap info... very important if homesteading or for hunting. Glad that you made the distinction between the two for seprate purposes. USA AWESOME!
A pathfinder takedown fiberglass bow would be king,
The bushman can help make the gig and figure 4 trap as well as other things, plus it's a spear. I bought one at such an unbelievable price.
Great video!! I was wondering if you could tell me where I could find the Ben Pearson bow that you mentioned?
outstanding information! i didnt know they sold steel rat traps. just ordered four!
Awesome video!
Those df4's were pretty cool. I've never seen those before. Right on👍
Nice kit good vid & not forgetting that the sling shot can fire arrows as well many thanks Dave
Really liked this one. It's important to know how to catch your own food useing different methods, and to carry some of these items, if and when its needed.👍
Great video. Great ideas on tools to have that can save a life in an emergency. Some of the tools are new to me and I have no clue where to acquire them. I.e. Figure four dead fall trap. Fishing ring. .
Unless the wire or cable actually breaks, I've never seen a snare that couldn't be used over and over and over and over. You can't straighten and reuse most snares by hand, but it's easy to do with the right kind of wire gauge, or with one you make yourself. Anyone who grew up poor enough can tell you how to reuse snares over and over. You don't really think poor people treat snares as use once and throw away, do you? There's no such thing as wire or cable that can't be straightened and/or reshaped, as long as it isn't broken.
+illyounotme For this can be done however hard to practice this in a state where powered snares are illegal so I would probably do this if it was an emergency but I think most folks are kidding themselves with the amount of force it take to lift and hold a 20-30# animal off the ground-
Great video dave :) personally i carry a small foldable fishing rod wich i just strap onto the outside of my pack, and a light airgun with just enough power to take a rabbit, ofcourse i cannot always take those with me so ill be looking at some of your options in the future for a light carry
Great vid Dave, all purpose, no fluff!
Good morning Dave.... As usual this old hillbilly thinks you video was great. Your videos are required watching for my grandkids. Back in the day this was "Way of Life" knowledge for us. Hunting and gathering was not about sport, but about not starving.... lol. Not so much today when these skills have become a hobby. Every time I took a walk with Grandpa, Dad or Uncle Bill it was a learning expierence. God has gifted you as a teacher..... thanks so much for passing these life skills on.... BTW - I have seen $300 knives that were throw away knives because they were of no long term use. Pretty handles often break when used.... and blades that dull with one use... well, lets just say they don't do the job. I have given all of my Cold Steel knives away for the previously mentioned reasons except for their throwing knife which my grandkids and I play with....
the one thing i would ad to the net and fishing gear is a trot line. seems like that would be more effective than a single hook on the fishing kit.
Neat list of items and tools, gave me a few ideas. great video Dave.
Awesome video as always Dave and your reference to He-man made me like you even more thanks for the new knowledge.
great video as always Dave! now I've got a little shopping to do LOL! just thought you might like to know I think you got a new fan today! my son (20 mos old!) sat and watched this whole video with me! he tried to bark at your dog when he "photo bombed" you LOL!
i like those df4 trap triggers. those rock. i will be stocking up from your website when i get some money.
A Shemagh would do the same thing that the net rag you mentioned. There not that tightly woven.
Thanks for the many suggestions, Dave. Wheels on a bow are quite durable, but not necessary and add weight and take up room. I have an old compound that I believe came with two sherpas to help carry it. Are the takedown arrows made to different spine? Correct flex of the arrow on release makes a difference in accuracy. Seems a person's chances of getting a meal would be better by going for shallow water carp rather than land game, from my experiences, so the fishing reel seems valuable. And too, in a real situation, it would be hard to have too many arrows. They can permanently disappear in a back yard, even moreso in the field - even with a lot of effort evaluating and looking. Thanks again for all the information- packed videos.
I would definitely add one or two dozen YoYo fishing reels. For the size/weight they are one of the most effective food gathering tools available. With even the most basic game knowledge you could keep yourself in small game and fish with next to no effort.
Between the YoYo traps, a pack fishing kit, and a .22LR pistol or take down rifle with 100 rounds of ammo, you wouldn't need any of that other stuff on the table. Not sure why you included the caveat about non-firearm, because I don't go into the woods without one, and haven't since I was about 13 years old. The time a snapping turtle snapped the tip off a Buck knife when I went to dispatch it while fishing was the last time I even went fishing without a firearm.
Semper Fi
Good information as always :)
Thanks - Martin
I have all of this in some form in my kit except the rat traps. Id rather eat cadmium than rat, haha. Nice to see the Cuban yoyo get some exposure. I love mine. I put 50lb test spyder wire on it that had a 12 lb diameter size. I can catch the smallest to the largest fish.
Great Video !
Think this your best, easily afforded, concisely, presented video yet.
Those 10 items would make for some excellent target rich environment videos on their how to usages. Water's Edge Mentality... Indeed. -gilpin 3-11-16
David Canterbury you should go on the A&E show Naked & Afraid!!! You would absolutely kill it!!
Amazing video. Thanks for the knowledge. You're seriously one of the best.
and add extra rubber slingshot bands for the sling shot
I don’t carry a gun, so I appreciate this. Thanks.
Could you please put a list of the gear displayed in this video?
Howdy Young'n! Back in the 50's, I had made a simple "survivel" kit, everything fit into an old enamel coffee cup. Everybody thought I was paranoid, stupid etc, but most everything I needed to last a few days was in there, except a sleeping bag. I just stuck it in my pocket, a little tight fitting, but it worked😁
looks like a well rounded kit to procure meat In any situation
Awesome video, Dave! Now I really need some of those gig spears! Would really make my life easier and be a great one to learn some new things hehe
Gill nets are good but the Gill net can snag on river debris
awesome video, very informative, thanks!
For those of us not in-the-know, how do you dress and cook a mouse or a rat? Seriously.
another down to earth real world video that actually helps people, what size pack would you use for a short term scenario as you mention in the video 25-30L ?
cheers steve
I always brush up on these old videos once a year cuz his info is great
Dave, what can I say that the other haven't said already......Your the man. sharing video brother.
good recommendations Sir.
I prefer a 1975 Chevy Blazer. You can't be as picky with the type of meat you get, or the condition, but I figure it's the best chance for survival us lazy folks are going to get.
That and cow hunting.
So for the instance of needing to make self made arrows would carrying say half dozen glue on broadheads and a stick of glue in a small container a good addition to a kit? I carry 1/2 dozen Del Ma Penetrator MA3 broad heads. Awesome and it's easy to fit a shaft
@Dave Canterbury , Explain to me exactly what you mean by (common man). Because that is very insulting. I kmow we are just peons compared to the great Dave Canterbury. But we don't deserve to be belittled and or insulted, I mean after all we helped make you who you are
Mr. Meyer
Common man means someone who wisely spends their hard earned money and picks the gear the use understanding quality vs cost, it is in no way an insult
How in God's name could you take that as an insult.....it is a compliment.
Great vid Dave- so many possibilities with these choices - makes alot of sense and practical when a firearm is out of ammo or lost -
I noticed your choice of the cold steel bushman "throwaway" knife and implicated it as a possible spear - im wondering if the "spear" tip that you sell on your website wouldn't be a great thought too - or would it be too "specific" and not multipurpose enough ? and speaking of the spear tip and other "arrowhead" items what are your thoughts?
I'm always learning from every vid - thanks much !!!
I prefer a good rat trap, a bag of bird seed and jar of peanut butter to catch mice, rats, squirrels and even rabbits over arrows and bullets. I have caught as many frogs as fish with artificial flies over using spears and arrows. I only want guns and arrows to defend against the human threats. I would not use my knife to baton wood when I could use a carved wooden wedge and log baton to get the job done. Maximum utilization of available resources often involves conservation of uses. One knife that can do it all is less than one knife that can help create many other tools. I would rather use a bow drill to burn a hole in a piece of wood rather than risk the tip of my knife. I would rather use rope to bend a tree over so I could slice the trunk with my knife rather than chop it down. The ability to think and create is far more useful than brute force.
I am surprised you added a bow rather than the "Pocket Hunter" adaptation for the sling-shot. I did a search for metal rat traps and could not find one, where would I find those at?
I've not thought about all those uses for a gig. That's interesting. Also, question for anyone who can answer. Does the breakdown points in the arrows affect the flight of them? The flex that arrows do when they leave the bow.
I would just throw a gill net in the kit rather than have to manufacture one.
+Tony Alexander I disagree too many mesh sizes, better to match the net to the location of use, and that is not possible before the fact, my experience as a commercial fisherman tells me the gills nets are most effective when matched to the intended prey
Good point and one I haven't had much experience in. Thanks for the insight! Rivers around here, north central IN, we have everything from huge gar to small creek chubs and minnows.
Dave I took a length of pic pipe and glued a cap on on end then mounted it to the side of my bucket and put my bow in that and slip another cap on top to store my bow out away from the eliments! For my trecking lpack I sewed up a leather pouch to slide it in with a flip over tie down flap!
Thank you good job on the video for the info . That would make a good bug out hideaway bucket.
hey Dave where could I get that Ben Pearson take down bow?
i love u dude !!!
However, having the animal alive when you return means the meat is fresher. You taught me that.
Hey Dave, how realistic is it to make a sturdy net type hammock out of bank line? I know it's off subject but the neting needle made me think of that.
Also, the number 1 meat gathering tool that you have not added to your kit (I understand why) is a .22lr rifle. Anything from a scoped takedown Ruger 1022 to a Henry Survival rifle. Invaluable.
I love it on those rare occasions when I discover a series of vids with just good, effective, we'll thought out, an extremely valuable information. his vids aren't just a sales pitch an his advice is practical and field tested. when I find a channel like this it's almost therapeutic to watch an learn from. keep the vids coming... love the vids sir!! thank you
those figure fours are one of the best things i've seen in this topic, no surprise they were included here
+Hansl Lavenburg And the fishing reel amphibious bow, beautiful kit.
Cool!
Awesome ! Very informative as usual Dave, Thank you......PAPA DUKES
I just watched your common man trapping video and I was wondering why nobody talks about changing the belt with a load bearing belt with pouches.
I put a utility belt with on mine that moves the weight to my hips better than the original belt. I put a couple pouches on it. They are East German AK-47 pouches with the woodland rain camo.
Just something I noticed.
Just in reference to the cold steel bushman I looked at the price and it's not quite a throw away for the reason being its 20-40 dollars US and cold steel is a really good knife maker
+The Wildguide 20-40.00 is throw away to me brother and IMHO NEW Cold steel knives aint that good
+wildernessoutfitters how I see it personally a knife doesnt need to be you know 100-345 to be a good knife but when you want something to last I understand where you are getting at
+The Wildguide Cold steels are definitely throwaways. And their "high end" models are overpriced for what you get. Quality and design have been going down the tubes for years, as cold steel tries to get with the mall ninja market.
cold steel arent that high quality anymore bro.
+The Wildguide Nope sure doesn't but my 3.00 Butcher knife is quality and I would not call it a throw away, Cold Steel is a Throw away, if you don't want my opinion don't comment on my videos-
Excellent video Canterbury. Do you have a how to video, net construction, net making, gill-net repair... : ) Tyler
Talking about using a knife to kill game with being a no no.. Pig hunting with dogs, where you kill the pig with a knife is massively popular in pretty much every country.
Your the reason I bought my long bow
So having never snared anything what could get trashed after one use with those snares. That cable looks pretty sturdy for something that just wraps right undo the neck.
Brother David,
Let me sum you up in seven words: “You are a good man, Charlie Brown!”
Dave not sure if you will get this. Could you not make a snare out of bank line. You carry a full roll of it is it the 112 lb or the 250 lb
like to see those df,4 trap triggers in action on video dave
Great video as always!
When you use one what kind of deer rifle do you use
It's a shame that in today's America the number one item you hesitated to mention would be a .22. If you made this list in the 50s I'm sure that would have been in the top couple items. There's just too many stupid gun laws in different jurisdictions for this type video made for the entire world.
great video Dave! thank you for everything you do.
Never seen those steel rat traps before.
Where do you get those steel rat traps Dave?
+Mark Petersen I would like to know that myself.
My bushman works better for me than most knives, chopping, butchering, made a self bow with mine. So I crapped slightly when you said throw away. My discontinued mini bushman is a treasure. But the price .... You are correct! Great video!
Good Job Dave. Thank you
Thank for making this video, found entertaining, educational ,and very very useful, all look forward to your video's. ATB William
What do you don't have them just clothes on your back pick up rock make rope make spear make trap life hard ha ha not
Hey Dave, could you do some videos detailing how to use some of these tools? How to Frog gig? Where and how to set snare (Tracking)? How to catch fish with the fishing kit? I always see gear review videos, but I never see skill videos. Thanks man! Love your videos.
This is one of the best videos which you have made. I have two fishing kits, snares, 2 plastic rat traps, 5 figure 4 traps. I also have a slingshot which I got from Self Reliance Outfitters. I think the snares may be useful but it really requires more woodcraft knowledge than I have or can acquire.
I like your rake down arrows. I have a pack of three. Except for fishing, most of my food acquisition will be by passive means such as the rat traps and figure fours.
Please keep up the good work.
I still carry the same bow I got when I was 12 years old. Simple wood, about 5 feet long, 40 pound. Dad picked it up for me at a yard sale for 5 bucks. Never go into the woods without it.
Nice gear of all but one new item, the bow. I went through most comments but found nothing indicating where to find them. Dave mentioned his bow was 70 years old so I am guessing it may be impossible to build this gear set. Any affordable fiberglass take-down bows available?
DAVE YOU ARE AWSOME! I always learn more than i expect. thank you for all you do, a True Patriot
