What an opportunity to find those historic and special items. I agree 100% that cordage is so essential for life in the bush, and my weakest skill! Thanks Dave for continuing to teach and reinforce these super important points!
I was just skimming through videos and didn't even realize you were on Alone until after you had already won haha. Congrats :). I was first introduced to your videos when I was trying to find the best way to prepare a knot for hammock camping. Thanks btw, worked great.
Terrific video Bro.. People have no clue how important it is to have this skill set in their head! I remember when I used to sit in Burger King and practice making yards of cordage out of napkins when I was first learning. People thought I was nuts.. LOL! But it taught me an invaluable skill that I will always carry with me!
Those are some great insights about your time there. Thanks for putting them all in a video. I wish more of that sort of thing made it to the show... 👍🏻. Well done.
Haha met you at Founder's in Grand Rapids and you told me about your dogbane cordage, and now another video on cordage - you really have a thing for cords man. Inspiring story you told that night, and seriously encouraging, thanks.
I shot this as an intro to the second part of the Dogbane series but I had too much material so I put it up as a stand alone video. Founder's was a good night.
Dave, thanks for posting. Looking forward to that footage on prime time! wink wink! I have an alert when you post and enjoy following your channel! God bless
I am also a compulsive cordage creator.... my husband thinks I'm nuts, because he's always finding bits and pieces of different material all over the house. (He can thank our 2 kittens for that!)
I'm thinking if Joe from your season is watching this he's kicking himself and thinking, "He used the ribbon to make that visible!? Why didn't I do that with my ferro rod?"
The first step to getting better is admitting that you have a problem, LOL! I too make cordage compulsively. Drives my wife nuts! Great video and it had to be so cool to find your gear still there like that. Hope you and yours are well.

I saw that video when you went back to the cove Dave I wonder if you had taken back the black stone you sharpened the hook on nice fish you caught too just did not understand what you said you used the steel ring and chain you found ?
Enjoyed this show and tell! Thanks Dave.
The garbage of some is the treasure of a survivalist, well done Dave!

I used to harvest yucca fiber from ornamental plants downtown and get strange looks in the dentist waiting room.
Thank you for sharing! that is so cool that you found your stuff over a year later.
Cordage is useful stuff, thanks for sharing this video. I make my own Flemish twist bowstrings so I'm familiar with the skill.
A bowstring is a true test of the skill. You've got skin in the game every time you draw a bowstring.
So glad you found the gear you had used! Priceless!!

It's not easy trying to survive in the wilderness like that. Congratulations on winning

Great video Dave. You are right cordage can get you a long way.
I am also a compulsive cordage creator.... my husband thinks I'm nuts,
because he's always finding bits and pieces of different material all
over the house. (He can thank our 2 kittens for that!)
When I'm in the woods I always twist samples of every fiber or bark I find.
Great tip. I usually carry limited but specific cordage. Gonna have to increase my skill.
Thanks!
Great video. Super important skill set and it seems you a master for sure.
amazing
Interesting inside information on your time on Alone. Have you made or will you make a video on making cordage from natural materials.
great stuff ,i bet you joe robinnett thought of that too for his fire steel cheers from the uk
Sensacional Mac, obrigado por compartilhar!

...and that, ladies & gents, is how it's done. P. S. tying your firesteel to your body = The Robinette Rule.
Why do they dismantle the shelters...they could be used for anybody who end up needing

I used the chain with the iron bar and ring in my fireplace to hold up my pot.
Seria massa se tivesse como colocar legenda em portugues em seus videos. um abraço
