Dave should be given his own TV show Forget the past He isn't lying about how to survive He shows how to handle all different conditions and how to live comfortably while in the while
Amen Dave! I would be suspicious if you didn't want to make money--nothing wrong with a man supporting his family. I'm VERY appreciative that you found a way to do so that also helps and teaches so many people like myself. I've seen nothing but integrity from you--you've always been upfront about any products you sell/promote and I've always appreciated your opinion on just about everything. Don't worry about trolls like this guy. 99.99% of us love you, respect you, and appreciate all you do.
Dave's entire philosophy is summed up here. It is one I buy into 100%. In the modern age, IF YOU ARE IN DIRE STRAITS, you need CERTAIN ITEMS as well as certain skills to sustain yourself. He calls it as it is. You are not Dave (who needs a lot less than anyone else). Many people have the idea that they are going to go back to the year 1815 and "SURVIVE." Ain't a gonna happen.
God Bless Dave.....he's awesome for giving out all his knowledge. He's not only got solid skills, but they're based on a solid philosophy, which is almost more important. Love watching and absorbing his wisdom.
Just Pulled My PathFinder Pocket Hunter "Sling-Bow" Outta the Mailbox! I'm So Happy I Finally Got One! Thanks So Much Dave! I Kept Tryna Make My own at home But It just wasn't Very stable, But Now Im the Proud Owner of The Pathfinder Pocket Hunter System! Great Addition To the "Critter Getter" Pocket in My Pack! Once Again Thanks for All the Priceless Knowledge you Hand Down FREE Daily! So Forget All these TROLLS on here, Just Know You are Helping Many others! Alot of Us APPRECIATE what you do!
I cant say how much I personal enjoy the historical information and all the historical data you have on your videos Dave . I hope that the people that put togther tv shows take note and can put togther a historical survival show of new ideas based on historical teachings and ideas ! Also I could not help but think of Cody when you talked about the shoes . Dave thankyou Sir the videos are great .
I love these sustainability videos. I come at this from a prepper standpoint. We have practiced self-sufficency for the last 6 years. We have bug out bags, and it's really a last resort for us. This video validates what we have included in our bags, which gives us some sense of assurance. But there is nothing like practicing, and we do that as well. I would love to see more videos in the future about your farm and long term self-sufficiency. Like raising birds, or rabbits, goats, etc...
Hey man !!! Most of the folks that watch and learn from Dave's videos are not ass kissers, we are for the most part everyday hard working folks, that like the outdoors but don't often get enough free time in their daily and weekly shedules to enjoy what nature offers. Now you can ramble all you want about how much you dislike Dave, that's your right as a free American, but most of us here including myself are here to learn and expand our own self sustaining capabilities.
My respect for you has grown even stronger now, after the manor you dealt with a troll. You've shown that not only are your tools bullet proof, but so are you. Kudos brother!
Hey Dave ! Let me tell you , I like going over things , gives you peace of mind . My wife tells me she's seen my gear change over the years and she can't keep up anymore but she knows I'm safe . 15-20-25 pound pack or just what's in my pocket for a stroll in the dirt , this is my church I think . THANKS DAVE !!!
Dave, I do appreciate your 'tarp talks' with your common sense. A shot gun and descent fishing kit would be top priority for me in a long term survival situation in my humble opinion.The 23 pound bearded tom turkey I shot last week with my 12 gauge would have been very difficult for me with a trap or sling shot. Every man needs to know their capabilities and limitations. It is a great life!
I'm not sure how you can even begin to "question his integrity". I've viewed most of Daves videos and have read many of the comments. Dave is as good as a man can be. Seems pretty honest and straight forward. Willing to admit to a mistake and learn from it. Well, enough of tooting Dave's horn, he doesn,t need it anyway.
I love all your Videos Dave but i have to say that this one is one of the best informational Video's on Sustainabilty you have ever done.Great job and i as i am sure many others learned alot.I have to agree with you Dirt time and knowing your suroundings is huge when it comes to Survival and Sustainability.I have also noticed that many of our frontiersmen Treasured there cooking pots as well or just as much as there Rifle.Thanks again for one of the greatest Videos out there on sustainabilty.
Awesome video sir. And I love your bushcraft book. My wife got it for me for Christmas and I’m really enjoying it and learning a lot! And, it led me to your UA-cam channel!
Dave, this was just about the most informative vid you've done. And very well, I might add. If anybody wanted general info about wilderness survival, this is the one to watch. Like hearttyc said, I, too, would watch a 4 hour ramble. I've watch hundreds of survival vids, but you're the King Silverback of 'em all. No doubt about it, Bro!
Once again, Dave, another awesome video with tons of info. I love the way you teach this. You not only explain WHAT to do, but the WHY and the HOW! It doesnt get any better than that! Watching these videos you make, really gets me pumped about heading for the woods! Cudos brother and keep up the great work! Jeff
you are such a smart person, people like you make the world of outdoorsman much better. i respect you and your knowledge of the outdoors, and thank you for making these videos. ever since i started watching your videos, my knowledge of the outdoors has been doubled. sincerely, a very satisfied viewer.
Great Dave as usual! No one informs better. With the forecast difficulty's, I was making up a starter list of traps and kept thinking about the 101 Conibear for food. As a kid, I became expert at tracking rabbits to their holes but never had a conibear. Just my homemade box. I got enough of them anyway but the trap makes it a piece of cake. Been the camp tracker for a long lifetime. Coolest ever was tracking up my Grand daughter's first big game kill. Yes, it was not practice, just rookie jitters. Seen it a ton of times. Keep doing the good work, Dave!
GOOD TO SEE YOU BACK ON THE TUBE DAVE!!! Been watching your videos since back when you made a selfbow with the TBT in the winter time, great lessons, Thank You.
Great video Dave this is exactly why I subscribe to your channel. Don't let the arm chair survivalist kids get you down your never going to please everyone especially the mama's-basement-armchair types.
good video, dave. i really enjoy the historical references. another aspect of the frontier life was how these early explorers were constantly defending themselves from the native americans. surviving/sustaining all while looking over their shoulder, or being ready for night raids in their camp.
Dave, you always thank (us) at the end of your videos. I just want to Thank You Brother! I might be going homeless shortly and you might be helping to save my life. I will be able to pay a storage unit: shelter, gym membership: shit shower shave. While I look for empoyment my food will have to come from sling shot, cast net, fishing, snares. I will not be pan handling. Public Library for internet connection(job searching) Not off the grid, but my survival senario. I am almost excited TY
Dave i never really cared for that pot before until you made that adjustment and made the top a pan that was a nice surprise. also you should look into the fishing yo yo's there made in the USA and are 60 lds test not only do they work great for fishing but they also make a nice self springing snare.
Dave I am glad you are in the business of selling useful outdoor gear, shows me you stand behind your products which I have bought a couple of great things from your store. Also I thank you for making videos for people to watch learn from&pass on your skills FREE of charge.( I dont think people remember the time y'all put in for free) Because of watching you&others then trying the skills out I have learned so much. I like the "common-man themed videos alot, Thank you for sharing the knowledge!
I've seen all your videos, or so I think I have, we have the Internet bill to prove it and I must say this was one of my more favorite. I've been thinking of ways to manufacture a clamp or some kind to keep my cook pots closed but I might upgrade soon even though these have seen very little dirt time
Another great video! Conservation of resources is something I have always heard you preach, and it is very interesting to think how the people of Louis and Clarke's time had to live it, and what they used to do so.
But regardless of where we live or how we secure our food. I really enjoy being a part of the outdoor survival brotherhood. We are all like minded people with common interests.
Damn Dave to my way of thinking this is your absolute best and informative video yet (well at least as important as your 10 C's). Thank-you much for your knowledge and insights here. Much appreciated. Now I'm going to watch again.
Another great video Dave!! Thank you so much for freely sharing so much of your knowledge and experience. Much respect brother.... be well and stay frosty!!
I think people must be prepared on two levels. First, to have the supplies/food/water/shelter, but more importantly, have the ability to protect what you have. If that situation were to become a reality, people will regress back to their basic longing to survive, and will do anything to survive. I pray we never come to that state of existance, but everyone must prepare for that possibility. It's not those you have supplies will survive, but those who can securely protect those supplies.
What a fantastic channel. Everyone should watch your videos at least once. Who knows when you'll need to know little things like this. Thanks for taking the time to make these videos!
I've been using a similar set up. I use a .50 muzzle loader but a caplock not a flintlock, I have less problems with wetness and a .22 pistol.A sling shot but I removed the arm rest for easier carry,. 4 110's and 2 220's. I cut the loop off the end of a GI Issue spoon to make a fork. I use a boy scout cooking set and a metal canteen and cup. A decent sized fishing kit cause it doesn't take much space and your going to lose tackle. Good one Dave, Keep up the fire!
I'd die in a long term situation . . . but I know where I'm going so, no big deal. However, I did like that little trick you did with the lid from the MSR Stowaway Pot. Sticking the fish mouth spreader into the lid's loop to make a fry pan was pure genius. I, certainly, had never thought of it before. Thanks Dave!
dave keep up the great work,because of your teachings i am more aware of my surrondings ,and place in the wild,also not afraid of being lost i know i can make it if i have to until im found,as you say knowledge replaces fear thanks ...
I think I understand something...because I haven't thought about it quite enough. Then you put out one of these videos. Thanks, Dave! I say this every time, but I really appreciate the history...I assumed moccasins were the way to go, simply because they're used in all the fiction set at that time and I haven't tried them; and it's really cool to know that pots were THAT important.
Yes, I'm tracking with you, Jay. The key is to be able to survive under any circumstances. Special skills can save a fellow's butt. Not question, brother.
your the best Dave. thank you so much for theses i love them all. theres no shitty video you make. they are all the most informative amazing things ever
Your right. Most people might have issues with securing enough meat for long term. That's why Dave said some of this stuff takes a lot of dirt time and special skill sets. I've been hunting for almost 15 years since I was like 13. And I've harvested almost 4 deer per year, each year. Also pheasants, ducks, geese, squirrels etc. I can bow hunt in my area for 4 months straight. Rifle hunt for two months, shotgun hunt for 3 weeks, and muzzleloader for another month. And that's just for deer.
You and your videos are absolutely awesome. I've always wanted to get into this more seriously. I live in the city, but all my life I've spent my weekends hiking and fishing. I've never hunted, never shot a gun, never even gone camping though. I'd want to so, so much but my asthma is constantly keeping me back. Then again, inhalers aren't all that big or heavy.
Doesn't beat around the bush and gets straight to the point. 1128 likes as opposed to 8 dislikes says a lot about the guy. Appreciate the fact that he's taking the time to pass on his knowledge.
Very sensible, especially in todays space. Where alot of tvs shows show how to survive the night, but are NOT sustainable. As mentioned if you have time to prepare and do not thats just not wise.
Best overall 3-season, multi-terrain boot hands down: Salomon Quest 4D GTX Hiking Boots. They're light enough to scramble or sprint out of tough spots, but rugged enough for relatively long backpack trips, both breathable and waterproof, with contragrip (anti-slip) tread.
Great vid Dave! Great content and info. I like the direction you are taking with everything, your explanations are clear and very easy to understand. Very pertinent, practical and no non sense. It seems to me these things will get it done as best as possible in the context of the situations you are talking about. Thanks for passing on you knowledge..
As always...Thank You for the video. My fishing kit is basic; line, hooks, sinkers. What I like are my yo-yo reels. Set and forget and very effective. My opinion on long guns differs from yours. I consider my shotgun to be best as a defensive weapon. My favorite carry for taking game is my Marlin 'Papoose' with a 22 scope and 10 round mags. With its removeable stainless barrel, it packs down efficiently. 22 ammo is light, cheap and effective for small game or harvesting deer. Be Well.
Yeah good thing Dave doesn't make 4 hour videos; I could listen to him discuss tool options and sustainability all day! Thanks Dave!! DAVE CANTERBURY FOR PRESIDENT!!!!
The knowledge transfer here is incredible. I only found your channel two days ago trying to work my way through the videos. I am not sure if you have covered hygiene for long term several weeks or so. If you have I'll find the video eventually, but if not could you go over this subject please sir. You're a great teacher Dave thanks for sharing this info freely
Dave....Something we dont hear much about (although they are illegal for gamefish in most states) are gill nets. I have carried a gill net in my kit for many years. They are light,.inexpensive, and gain you as much protien as you can eat, plus some to dry/salt ect. 1 hr. with a gill net = 100 backwoods sardines. Just wanted your thoughts.
LOVED THIS VIDEO AND THE PREVIOUS HOMESTEAD UPDATE. AN IDEA. great job as always. have you ever thought about this course in your school? involving cultivation of plants and live stock. that to me is preparing on a sustainable level. basic caring for common plants and animals, as well as preparing them. not sure if im coming across as well as i want to, but a farming lifestyle is to me more sustainable in societal collapse.
Just thought I'd say, I plan to purchase the lion's share of my gear from wildernessoutfitters. You guys are awesome, your gear is awesome, and these videos are impeccable. Great job! Keep safe out there brother!
for folks who have an extra 90 minutes : do a youtube search for "Happy People: a year on the taiga" it illustrates what Dave just said in his video about having a base camp and several satelite camps. The people in the taiga spend all summer preparing for the winter. and then spend the 9 month winter isolated out in deep snow trapping.
Great video! You brushed on the topic of footwear. I would like to hear your opinion (the whats and whys) on proper woods footwear. My needs in the rocky mountains may be different than yours in the eastern woodlands, but I'd still would very much like to hear them.
Good insights, Jim. I just don't think most people will be able to bag enough game to sustain them. Dave once suggested that 30 to 50 traps are needed to ensure a meal. Hunting can be very limited, too.Beans, rice, corn, wheat--these are relatively cheap. Add in the fact that a neo pathfinder can expect to be less than welcome in many areas of the country.
be gladful that he gives you so much advise and help! of course he has to live from something but these items will keep YOU alive, not only him because you bought it from him.
I like to travel with your pocket fishing kit...i have made some mods to it but man it produces. I was out in bankston ia trout fishing and i got more keeps off that fishing rig than my buddy did with his ultra-light rod great product dave!
Dave's site does have some things together in a "kit" such as the 10 "C". Your self-reliance kit out side of the 10c should be built by you and all items selected are for your area. . . Dave has said it numerous times.
One thing I think you missed with the traps and snares portion is YoYo Automatic fishing reels. They are really small, really cheap and have multipurpose uses. If they break they are still useful. My philosophy is to use force/work multipliers. A force/work multiplier is anything that does the work for you while you are freed up to do other things.
Heh, like the bit on sporks, and the inadequate tines on most of them. Even the Roman KFS multitool in the Fitz William museum had decent tines, 1800 years ago.
On the subject of the MSR seagull pot....That is the name of the design company and the manufacturer. Seagull is a thai manufacturing company. The name of the line of pan when buying them is "MSR stowaway". However, once you remove the plastic label, there is no "stow away" marking, only the MSR logo and the manufactures name. If you plug "MSR seagull" into google shopping, you won't get the results you want.
awesome vid. I cant get enough of this subject. If you can make a part 2 of Survivability vs Sustainability, please do it! I just bought a wool blanket and pute my sleeping bag in the closet. Dave you are the best!
Ive been watching alot of your videos and i am very impressed by the extent of your knowledge and your willingness to share it... If i knew how to attend your school i would most definitely. But until then i have alot to practice :)
how would you survive in the wilderness if a foreign country invades the U.S. and the states turn to turmoil? I appreciate your survival teachings and am a big fan of yours!
HANDS down the best youtbe vid .... make that ANY VID ..... I've seen on my favorite subject ... surethrival, as opposed to just survival. The wise man strives to find the path to long term comfortable wilderness life that they need no rescue from, rather than simply staying alive with a 72 hour kit in hopes that someone will come to your rescue. :)
Thank you very much for this video, Dave. I've always wondered how the colonists handled traveling across the western frontier effectively without compromising their sustainability during travel. It seems like the faster you try to go, the harder time you're gonna have actually sustaining yourself.
You should sell a hunting/trapping kit in your store. Three traps, a dozen snares, your sling shot, and the pathfinder spear head. It would be a great supplement to your basic shelter kit.
If you want to increase your wifi range you can buy a internet range extender from best buy or any other electronics store. Price range of about $50.00- 150.00 with ranges up to a mile and a half. Love your vids. Mike H.
I hope Dave sells a gazillion fish mouth spreaders. That said, I made my own using small diameter SS round stock purchased at the hardware store for about a buck and wrapped it twice around a shovel handle to make the spring. Used vice grips to bend the gripping ends. A coat hanger works well also but I figured the SS will last longer. Drill a couple holes in the PF cup and you're ready to hang it over the fire.
This video is awesome! Very well researched and presented. A no-nonsense, practical approach backed up by historical accounts. Just subbed. Thanks Dave

Dave should be given his own TV show
Forget the past
He isn't lying about how to survive
He shows how to handle all different conditions and how to live comfortably while in the while
Dave's enthusiasm has me watching non stop! Outstanding teacher no doubt.
Amen Dave! I would be suspicious if you didn't want to make money--nothing wrong with a man supporting his family. I'm VERY appreciative that you found a way to do so that also helps and teaches so many people like myself. I've seen nothing but integrity from you--you've always been upfront about any products you sell/promote and I've always appreciated your opinion on just about everything.

Just Pulled My PathFinder Pocket Hunter "Sling-Bow" Outta the Mailbox! I'm So Happy I Finally Got One! Thanks So Much Dave! I Kept Tryna Make My own at home But It just wasn't Very stable, But Now Im the Proud Owner of The Pathfinder Pocket Hunter System! Great Addition To the "Critter Getter" Pocket in My Pack! Once Again Thanks for All the Priceless Knowledge you Hand Down FREE Daily! So Forget All these TROLLS on here, Just Know You are Helping Many others! Alot of Us APPRECIATE what you do!
Awesome advice in 2019
I cant say how much I personal enjoy the historical information and all the historical data you have on your videos Dave . I hope that the people that put togther tv shows take note and can put togther a historical survival show of new ideas based on historical teachings and ideas !

Hey Dave ! Let me tell you , I like going over things , gives you peace of mind .

This is one f my favorite videos Dave. Thank you!!
If I had 1/1000th your energy I could survive anything. Another great vid Dave, thanks!
your the best Dave. thank you so much for theses i love them all. theres no shitty video you make. they are all the most informative amazing things ever
Thank you Dave. Very usable, concise, and streamlined. It won't be wasted.
Your right. Most people might have issues with securing enough meat for long term. That's why Dave said some of this stuff takes a lot of dirt time and special skill sets. I've been hunting for almost 15 years since I was like 13. And I've harvested almost 4 deer per year, each year. Also pheasants, ducks, geese, squirrels etc. I can bow hunt in my area for 4 months straight. Rifle hunt for two months, shotgun hunt for 3 weeks, and muzzleloader for another month. And that's just for deer.
You and your videos are absolutely awesome. I've always wanted to get into this more seriously. I live in the city, but all my life I've spent my weekends hiking and fishing. I've never hunted, never shot a gun, never even gone camping though. I'd want to so, so much but my asthma is constantly keeping me back. Then again, inhalers aren't all that big or heavy.
Doesn't beat around the bush and gets straight to the point. 1128 likes as opposed to 8 dislikes says a lot about the guy. Appreciate the fact that he's taking the time to pass on his knowledge.
Dave... thanks for your service in the military as well as all the survivability/sustainability advice... this is all very useful information...
Thanks for all the videos Dave! You have had a HUGE impact on me over the past 3 or 4 years.
That's a lot of information with zero wasted time. Excellent video. Thanks Dave.
^ Real American Hero! Dave, your insight is invaluable. Thanks for using your dirt time to help us city slickers learn what is what. All the best.
Very sensible, especially in todays space. Where alot of tvs shows show how to survive the night, but are NOT sustainable. As mentioned if you have time to prepare and do not thats just not wise.
Dave, your my hero, i'd love to join your school if i had the time, and the means, but i appreciate your videos. Keep it up.
Best overall 3-season, multi-terrain boot hands down: Salomon Quest 4D GTX Hiking Boots. They're light enough to scramble or sprint out of tough spots, but rugged enough for relatively long backpack trips, both breathable and waterproof, with contragrip (anti-slip) tread.
This is one of many the best information on these topics
Great vid Dave! Great content and info. I like the direction you are taking with everything, your explanations are clear and very easy to understand. Very pertinent, practical and no non sense. It seems to me these things will get it done as best as possible in the context of the situations you are talking about. Thanks for passing on you knowledge..
As always...Thank You for the video.
My fishing kit is basic; line, hooks, sinkers. What I like are my yo-yo reels. Set and forget and very effective.
My opinion on long guns differs from yours.
I consider my shotgun to be best as a defensive weapon.
My favorite carry for taking game is my Marlin 'Papoose' with a 22 scope and 10 round mags.
With its removeable stainless barrel, it packs down efficiently.
22 ammo is light, cheap and effective for small game or harvesting deer.
Be Well.
This video was very helpful. Thanks Dave.
Really good teaching points Dave. Hearing the difference between survivalbility and sustainability makes a lot of sense. Dirt time is super important.
Keep doin what your doin these videos are great and straight facts and you dont bs around the facts.
You are awesome Dave! Love your videos, and the weath of knowledge you have. Thank you for passing it along!!!!!!!
Yeah good thing Dave doesn't make 4 hour videos; I could listen to him discuss tool options and sustainability all day! Thanks Dave!!
DAVE CANTERBURY FOR PRESIDENT!!!!
The knowledge transfer here is incredible. I only found your channel two days ago trying to work my way through the videos. I am not sure if you have covered hygiene for long term several weeks or so. If you have I'll find the video eventually, but if not could you go over this subject please sir. You're a great teacher Dave thanks for sharing this info freely
Dave....Something we dont hear much about (although they are illegal for gamefish in most states) are gill nets. I have carried a gill net in my kit for many years. They are light,.inexpensive, and gain you as much protien as you can eat, plus some to dry/salt ect.
1 hr. with a gill net = 100 backwoods sardines. Just wanted your thoughts.
LOVED THIS VIDEO AND THE PREVIOUS HOMESTEAD UPDATE. AN IDEA. great job as always. have you ever thought about this course in your school? involving cultivation of plants and live stock. that to me is preparing on a sustainable level. basic caring for common plants and animals, as well as preparing them. not sure if im coming across as well as i want to, but a farming lifestyle is to me more sustainable in societal collapse.
Just thought I'd say, I plan to purchase the lion's share of my gear from wildernessoutfitters. You guys are awesome, your gear is awesome, and these videos are impeccable. Great job! Keep safe out there brother!
for folks who have an extra 90 minutes : do a youtube search for "Happy People: a year on the taiga" it illustrates what Dave just said in his video about having a base camp and several satelite camps. The people in the taiga spend all summer preparing for the winter. and then spend the 9 month winter isolated out in deep snow trapping.
Great video! You brushed on the topic of footwear. I would like to hear your opinion (the whats and whys) on proper woods footwear. My needs in the rocky mountains may be different than yours in the eastern woodlands, but I'd still would very much like to hear them.
Good insights, Jim. I just don't think most people will be able to bag enough game to sustain them. Dave once suggested that 30 to 50 traps are needed to ensure a meal. Hunting can be very limited, too.Beans, rice, corn, wheat--these are relatively cheap. Add in the fact that a neo pathfinder can expect to be less than welcome in many areas of the country.
Hooyah, another great video Dave! I look foreward to seeing how the bucket garden has come along.
Dave reminds me of a tougher "Indiana Jones" with the hat and side bag. Great video as always. Better history lesson than "History Channel".
Awesome video Dave
Your videos are by far the best thing on youtube.
be gladful that he gives you so much advise and help! of course he has to live from something but these items will keep YOU alive, not only him because you bought it from him.
I like to travel with your pocket fishing kit...i have made some mods to it but man it produces. I was out in bankston ia trout fishing and i got more keeps off that fishing rig than my buddy did with his ultra-light rod great product dave!
Dave's site does have some things together in a "kit" such as the 10 "C". Your self-reliance kit out side of the 10c should be built by you and all items selected are for your area. . . Dave has said it numerous times.
One thing I think you missed with the traps and snares portion is YoYo Automatic fishing reels. They are really small, really cheap and have multipurpose uses. If they break they are still useful. My philosophy is to use force/work multipliers. A force/work multiplier is anything that does the work for you while you are freed up to do other things.
Heh, like the bit on sporks, and the inadequate tines on most of them. Even the Roman KFS multitool in the Fitz William museum had decent tines, 1800 years ago.
This is one of DEEE best Rants on the subjects on UA-cam
Awesome video Dave! Thank you for the knowledge you put out for us all day after day! It's appreciated more than you know!
On the subject of the MSR seagull pot....That is the name of the design company and the manufacturer. Seagull is a thai manufacturing company. The name of the line of pan when buying them is "MSR stowaway". However, once you remove the plastic label, there is no "stow away" marking, only the MSR logo and the manufactures name. If you plug "MSR seagull" into google shopping, you won't get the results you want.
awesome vid. I cant get enough of this subject. If you can make a part 2 of Survivability vs Sustainability, please do it!
I just bought a wool blanket and pute my sleeping bag in the closet.
Dave you are the best!
Ive been watching alot of your videos and i am very impressed by the extent of your knowledge and your willingness to share it... If i knew how to attend your school i would most definitely. But until then i have alot to practice :)
One of your best instructional videos. Thank you again for being so squared away.
Keith
WoW thanks for the new perspective and the idea of the frying pan love it and again thank you.
how would you survive in the wilderness if a foreign country invades the U.S. and the states turn to turmoil? I appreciate your survival teachings and am a big fan of yours!
HANDS down the best youtbe vid .... make that ANY VID ..... I've seen on my favorite subject ... surethrival, as opposed to just survival. The wise man strives to find the path to long term comfortable wilderness life that they need no rescue from, rather than simply staying alive with a 72 hour kit in hopes that someone will come to your rescue. :)
Thank you very much for this video, Dave. I've always wondered how the colonists handled traveling across the western frontier effectively without compromising their sustainability during travel. It seems like the faster you try to go, the harder time you're gonna have actually sustaining yourself.
Awesome video Dave, lots of useful information and good kit mentality! Thanks for all the great videos, take care!
Dave. You rock brother. Hands down a great video.
You should sell a hunting/trapping kit in your store. Three traps, a dozen snares, your sling shot, and the pathfinder spear head. It would be a great supplement to your basic shelter kit.
If you want to increase your wifi range you can buy a internet range extender from best buy or any other electronics store. Price range of about $50.00- 150.00 with ranges up to a mile and a half. Love your vids. Mike H.
I hope Dave sells a gazillion fish mouth spreaders. That said, I made my own using small diameter SS round stock purchased at the hardware store for about a buck and wrapped it twice around a shovel handle to make the spring. Used vice grips to bend the gripping ends. A coat hanger works well also but I figured the SS will last longer. Drill a couple holes in the PF cup and you're ready to hang it over the fire.
This video is awesome! Very well researched and presented. A no-nonsense, practical approach backed up by historical accounts. Just subbed. Thanks Dave
