I'm currently having a great time going back through some of your old videos. I'm loving your new quick build take on the old Sammi lavvu - pure genius. Much food for thought about how to make life more comfortable when out in the wilds. Many thanks for your efforts.
Ya gotta' love Nick. He adds that special something to the videos. Typical teen at the time. And it's all great. I'm pretty sure Dave wouldn't have it any other way. No matter what, it's a great day when your son will be by your side and go on the adventure with you. I salute all you Dads out there that take the time to do outdoors with your children. There are no better memories. Trust me on that.
David... These people that want to complain are just that... complainers... Their opinions in my opinion are, for the most part, worthless. In my business I have found that people that complain are not worth fooling with. Your channel is one of my favorite channels. It is obvious that you are a good guy, with a good heart. The information that you provide is great. All of your inventions are very interesting and I will most likely copy many of them. Your videos are a valuable resource. Please don't let those petty complainers bother you. Just keep up the good work.
Thank you John! You are so right brother. I often get comments so bad that I don't even answer them. Its just a delete and block because some folks you can tell them anything. Take care and thanks for watching!
Love to see you & your son together... memories you are making him for life. God bless you both! Love your videos.... thanks so much for taking the time for us! Come on up to NY and do one in the snow!
Thanks, I'm glad you like em all Earl. Man that would be cool to see NY. Ive never been further north than Indiana! Thanks for watching and may God bless you too!
You, sir, are a national treasure. These videos are getting me through the quarantine right now. I think this one is my favorite of your inventions so far, but I still have many more of your videos to go.
As soon as I get my Phd in engineering from MIT I will try this. Seriously, I am addicted to your hilariously entertaining projects.. A relief to see Nick is a chip off the old block.
Another awesome addition to the library of videos. I think it's so great that you and Nick are able to have these special moments together. God bless, stay safe, and always enjoy your time together.
Great vids as always David!! Nick, you are blessed to have a Dad like this... it is increasingly more rare these days. My Dad was/is like this too, and I never knew until I was older that most people don't get these experiences growing up. People like my Dad and your Dad inspire me to be a better Dad for my two daughters, who went on their first real backpacking trip last year. Cheers, Boys!!!
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it Derek. Man great to hear your Dad was like this. It is rare for these types of experiences and relationships to happen these days. Fantastic you are doing the same with your girls! Thanks for watching
Dave: we've watched Nick grow up from a precocious boy to a confident, talented, handsome young man. Nice to see him included personally in the videos. He is funny without being a smart allack. Hope you've taught him how to gas weld, TIG and MIG weld. Who knows where he's going in the future. You and your family are raising a wonderful young man. As for the ingenious tent/fire pot setup: pure Dave!
Thank you. He has grown up and turned out great. I'm proud of him and hopefully he will do well and go far. Thanks for the comments and thanks for watching!
Thanks again Dave for such a wonderful video! I REALLY love seeing you and your son enjoying the great outdoors and each other's company! I wish I had videos of my Dad and I and our family on our many camping trips and outdoor fishing exploring trips...what a wonderful gift to pass on to your children and your grandchildren! Enjoy it while you and yours can, life will never be the same again sooo cherish it while you and yours can! May the Good Lord Bless you and yours and safe camping, bushcrafting to you and yours ALWAYS!!!
You are very welcome and I'm happy you liked it! I guess most folks go camping and the last thing on their minds is filming it all. I wished I could have filmed some of the guys I used to camp with. Thanks for watching and may God bless you too brother
Now this is a base camp!! I wish I had this when I was younger and deer hunting in the snow. Just goes to prove you can make things yourself and now spend a fortune just to enjoy the outdoors. Thumbs up Dave!
Hey brother David,it was so very nice to see you and Nick together again.We have watched that boy grow up and become a man,and from what I can tell,a very good young man indeed. Like always,I really enjoyed your video and your very thoughtful inventions.You & Nick keep up the good work,and May the Good Lord bless and keep you and your family. Randy
Hello Randy! It's always great to be out here with Nick, and it is cool how Nick has grown from 12 years old to 19 on here. Take care, thanks for watching and may God bless you and your family
I love how real this video is, real guys out in the woods just being themselves no showboating or product placement just real life, and important information. I can't wait to watch your other videos and so far I'm a big fan
It is really great to see someone having ideas and trying them out. That’s the only way to learn. Do it, then see what worked and what needs to change. Love it.
Wonderful video! really enjoyed the father and son banter...none of that yes sir, no sir here....just two friends enjoying life!!! i love the Fire pan and pretty much the whole system...Thanks David and Nick...awesome!...woods
This is a GREAT one! You wrapped a " AIN'T THAT NEAT VIDEO " with your son Nick giving it to you with both barrels in a good natured family ribbing style. Thanx guy's!
My favorite shelter yet. I had a three tree Teepee I built as a teen and spent most of my summer there. This has so much room and very efficent. Thanks for the videos. You and Nick get me so tickled. This shelter gave me some ideas to use at the family camp and plenty of room for my cot to fit with space to stretch. Dave you make things fun and let us laugh at ourselves.
Hey Dave,(and Nick), Thanks for making my day sirs,...another good one for the archives... it was good seeing the two of you together spending some outdoors time in the woods...Well Dave, you've taken yet another awesome idea of your mentors, added your own spin, and gave us all something brilliant.Awesome ideas,...I'd have loved to see how the original was cobbled together without the ''Daveisms'' applied, the hubcap idea is just priceless...What minds your camp-mates had,... you were so fortunate to have had the experiences of learning from such talented gurus of the woods. Back in ''the old days'', when I was younger, we would camp a lot as a family, and many times would forget a key item or two...Well, after actually omitting a sleeping bag once, I came up with a simple system...A CHECKLIST !!....I compiled that list and added to it whenever we said ''I sure wish we had a ....." I made about 50 copies, and used it every time we went camping from then on...now, of course the list was huge, and not all things went on all trips, but it was so nice having that check-list to refer to...It made preparations a breeze....( Seems like a no-brainer I know, but so many folks do actually prepare without a list, I'd thought I'd mention it, ) Thanks again for another fun video man...'Till next time, you guys stay healthy, and God's Blessing to you and yours Brother...ATB...CHEERS !!
Hello Steve! I'm glad you liked it brother. Well the set up they had was incredible. They had a hubcap up top with four holes punched in for legs sockets. The used bailing wire to hang another hubcap to hold the fire. Man to them guys, junk was treasure. Everyone needs lists, you just cant remember it all before a trip. Thanks for watching and may God bless you too!
It is so refreshing to see such humble, good natured people about. Very encouraging. As far as content, this channel is very good. easy listening, good humor presentations, practical and easy to assimilate instruction and information. . . .And David, Nick has your 'HEY EVERYBODY" line down really good. Very funny!
Awesome video David super inventive nick did a grate job! All keep it short and simple but thank you for your creativity content I'm thankful for coming across your amazing outdoor channel😎🌲🌲
Yay! Happy Friday! A new video from David 😊 awesome! This is very clever, as usual 😊 I could see where you were going with this one immediately.. Lol thanks for sharing it with us! The hardware you assembled for the top ring and fire pan were great.. I've been checking out different types and gauges of chain to carry in some of my kits.. I have some of that cable already too 😁 .. I found a really interesting looking pot at goodwill a couple days ago.. I thought of you immediately!! Lol I'll have to put together a care package for you with all the weird odds and ends I've found, just to see what you come up with 😜 thanks again for the video Hon, always nice to see Nick get out with you too! Talk to you soon!
LOL, Thanks Ruth! I'm glad you liked it. Aint it a great feeling to find something just awesome or one of a kind at Goodwill? I love care packages! Thanks for watching
"Peek a Boo" just an example of the humor of your videos. Interesting but a lot more prep required than I would care to do especially with some of the simpler designs that you have shown. Love your channel.
Great Video as usual, I really appreciate the way you show the honesty of how not everything goes as planned like some of the "Reality" TV show guys do!! It's refreshing. Glad to see Nick back on the camera, hope he's doing well in College.. Thanks again Dave, will be sharing this in multiple places!!! See Ya in the next one
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it Michael and thanks for the shares! Man I keep it real and want to be known for keeping it real. Good or bad. Nick is doing well in college. Thanks for watching
Cool! The idea of the 🔥 being higher than you, saves you from a lot of smoke. I learned that the hard way. Found a nice shelf on a cliff, that's where I'll sleep. With the fire beneath me. Well... Great upload thx.
Hi Dave and Nick. Hey whippersnapper, I loved your shirt! (I can use that term cause I'm that old. Lol). Really enjoyed this setup. I guess I'll be heading to the hardware store. The use of the cable appealed to me. I would like to play with a few different configurations. You always inspire me my friend! It was great seeing both of you together. All the best!
That's a cool shelter, Dave. It's great to see you Nick having such a great time together. He's becoming a natural in front of the camera. Thanks for letting us join you!
Now that was a great excursion and demo of a fantastic shelter, looks very cosy with the hanging Fire pan, great chemistry with you two also. Congrats on your competition win, well deserved, enjoyed that Fire lighting challenge to, Thanks..
This is by far my favorite shelter! I truly appreciate your ingenuity. You are very talented at everything you do. And btw.... I appreciate the relationship you have with your son. I wish my Dad was still here so we could still be making memories. The bond of a son and his father is probably the most important relationship for the son. They watch everything we do and they copy it... good or bad. You are a good father and your son seems to be following in your foot steps. Keep up the good work both of you! And Nick.... cherish these moments and do the same with your kids!
Another great video Dave. Hope you and Nick had a wonderful Christmas. Finialy after all the time I have been watching your videos and gathering me gear so I can go out. I am now a proud owner of a Mora. Got one of them because of all the ones you have shown and your glowing recomendations. I can say this, it is sharp. But looking forward to praticing making feathers and notches soon with it.
Thanks Nathan, I'm glad you liked it. Yes, we had a great Christmas. Man that's fantastic you got a Mora! Youre gonna be hooked on Mora for life. Thanks for watching
I just started watching your videos and as a US army vet who loved being in the field, I love how you organize your kits. Not only do you have great ideas but the way you organize and execute them gives me inspiration to take a new look at some of my set ups.
I love your videos. You remind me of my brother. We grew up with his weird, crazy and sometimes useful inventions. Just like you, he created all kind of things in the woods and everywhere else possible. We had a good size working ranch, but also farmed our own foods vegetables and meats. Our family learned to work hard but played hard too. The ranch was a place the whole town felt comfortable visiting. We grew acres of ribbon cane and every year family, friends and town folk came out to watch the syrup making on the mill my grandfather and dad built. This was the one and only time during the year our big old spoiled rotten horse Nancy worked. Guess she paid her keep walking round and round as the town folk gathered. When the lids were tightly screwed onto each jar my grandmother and her quilting friends made sure they were wiped clean. Pure warm gold is what it was. A hush would fall over the crowd as a line quietly began forming. Dad would tell mother to get enough jars for the 5 of us till the next season and the rest was divided among the others. Everyone went home with a jar or two i assure you. I miss those days. I love that you tell people to get off the couch and make some fun memories. And the woods is the absolute perfect place, especially spending time with family. I have learned some neat things you've shared. Keep doing this. It really does make a difference in others lives. Thanks for your time and efforts.
Thank you so much Debbie and I'm glad you liked the video. Sounds like you had a wonderful child hood! I miss them old times too. We didn't have a ranch but we had a garden and raised chickens and rabbits. That kinda lifestyle is slowly vanishing. Thanks for watching
awesome setup. One thing though, You might wanna flip the last cable upside down, and attach it up top with one of the loops and a hook, then use the fixed hook for your pot..that way you can adjust the height and not have any "extra" cable hanging down into the fire Also, I loved your video about the tarp tent with a fire place made with sticks and a fire blanket, gonna try that one out soon, thanks!
I built this set up about six months ago and stuck it on the shelf. I pulled it down to camp and film and completely forgot that I did indeed design it for the loops to be at the top.
Howdy!!! Good to see Nick has lost his shyness (much to the chagrin of his father.) Virginia says the fondest memories of Dad were the teasing between the two of them. The best heated shelter with an open fire on U-tube....good job!!! By the way, Virginia loves your new camo (looks like I'm going to be spending more money on a new outfit,) Thanks for the show, Clark and Virginia
Hello Clark and Virginia! Yep, Nicks shyness is long gone. Just like Americas interest in VCRs. Lol. I'm so happy you liked the shelter. That camo its what's known as multi cam or a similar version called Scorpion. Take care and thanks for watching
you two are amazing together i wish i had a relationship with my dad like you and nick have .i love your content its amazing learning all these skills from you thanks
If I was shown pictures of various camp set ups there is one thing i would be able to identify every time......Yours!..... your style and craftsmanship is unique to this environment. Reallybigmokey1 at its best, great watch....
3 signs of getting old. 1. You need glasses. 2. You start to forget things. 3. Your son carries the bigger ruck. ;) Greetings from Germany from an old bald guy with glasses.
A tip for the pot/kettle holding wire. Invert the wire, putting the loops at the top. One you don't burn your hands on the fire, when lifting the kettle to a new position, and the excess wire is not in the way. What is that fire blanket made of? I like Nick' shirt. As always, a great video. Just remember:- Your memory is excellent, it has not failed you yet, the only things you cannot remember, are the things you forget.
Funny you mentioned that, this set up was built six months ago and put on the shelf. I got it out and filmed and camped in it and completely forgot I designed it for the cables to be at the top! The fire blanket is just a fiberglass welders blanket. Thanks for watching Terry.
I know, as a general rule of thumb, you don't ever sell any of the things you make but, I sure would like to get my hands on one of those teepee rings. And no, I can't weld. Great idea.
And pretty much the reason its a rule is because I have zero time to make any gear to sell. Believe me, I would love to make gear and sell it but it just wouldn't rake in the money that my full time job makes. Ah who knows tho, maybe one day I can. Im happy you like it Matthew.
So far no one has been interested in buying any of my ideas. As a matter of fact, no one has even ripped off any of my ideas! I guess they would cater to such a small market no one wants to invest in them.
I wish I had a friend (woods companion) to share the outdoors with lol I'm a 39 yr old who absolutely adores the outdoors and hunting/fishing. Especially bushcraft which me and my cousin used to call "pioneering " back 20 yrs ago when I had a buddy lol! But anyway it's nice to see you guys hanging out in the woods I can tell it's nice to have that company and u guys enjoy what your doing! Someday soon I'm going to just walk my useless butt into the woods and keep walking until I can't anymore and where I fall, that's where the story ends......
Wow what a video! And what a channel, you guys got a lot going on over here👍 I love the camera personality you guys have and how well you play off one another! You can truly see the bond between you💪👍
Its good to see you & Nick again, David. I like your design on the Top piece you made up and the Cable System & Fire Plate and all. Very Nice System. Dave, you getting like me now, you need to make yourself a "List" to pack your Pack. he-he. 😊
Always great to hear from you brother Danny and I'm glad you liked it. LOL, man its getting harder and harder to remember anything! Thanks for watching
Hello Dave and Nick!! Loved this video. You must not have bad winters in Georgia. We had a pastor of our church from Georgia once. It was so funny when it came about a foot of snow here in Va. to watch his family. They were so happy because they said it didn't snow in Georgia. I personally absolutely HATE snow. Think his name was Preacher Renew. We really loved him. As a mother to you Dave, "Don't forget your light!". LOL. Really, really loved the tent style setup. The inside fire pan and cooking is a brilliant idea. Take care now and love you both.
Hello Rebecca! I'm happy you liked it but sad you hate snow. Lol. You're correct tho, we rarely ever get snow in Georgia. Take care and thanks for watching
I love it. I think this my favorite cooking/sleeping set you have done. It's clever but so simple! I have no idea why you don't have a million subscribers. You teach us stuff and you make us laugh. Lovely to see you and Nick out in the woods together. He has such a dry sense of humour. I wonder where he gets that from. Anyways thanks for the video.
Thanks Annette! I'm glad you liked it so much! This is probably going to be one of my favorites too! Nick gets his dry humor from my brother. Lol. Thanks for watching!
Love, love, love your videos! Thanks for sharing! I'm learning so much from you. I love to camp, hike and backpack with my dog, Cooper. I'm going to try and get out there with him a bit more often then I do now. I love Nick's shirt!! Thanks! Vic (Cooper's mom) and Cooper
This very important bushcraft channel and the video he’s makes are great way to help people learn about bushcraft activities and education people learning about outdoors and I am glad to support this amazing man and his experience exciting bushcraft channel 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀👍👍🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴
donna pratt, I couldn't agree with you more...Dave's style and the talents he shares are truly one of a kind indeed...I hope all subs remember to like, share, comment and hit that notification, so we can get Dave's channel to 100,000-plus subscribers, he definitely deserves his Silver Play Button...He's earned it....Take care Donna.
OMG, Nick cracked me up with that "Hey everybody" impression! Congrats on winning the knife! Dang Dave, I'd save up some pennies to buy one of those tent rings being on a retirement pay! This was probably one of your best ideas! Maybe show the umbrella attachment next time n how you reinforced the tarp top. What was the tarp dimensions?
LOL, man I had no idea Nick was gonna do that! I'm glad you liked it. All the umbrella thing was is a common umbrella with the handle smashed off and it sticks in a hole. That big tarp is a 19 X 21. Thanks for watching
I really like the connector you made to tie all the poles together. That's the key to the entire shelter and it comes at almost no weight penalty while performing many important functions. Well done Dave. The teenager in Nick is really showing.
Dave, Nice work. Like that you can have a fire in the shelter, with a pretty simple design. Odd seeing you make a shelter without several hanks of rope. You should have hidden Nick's flashlight! Take care.
You sure do have really good tricks and ideas for the back country. But is hard to go about your own life and responsibilities, make a video, and teach at the same time. Great video, you guys are very entertaining to watch, and still learn. God bless you.
you are truly a bushcrafter. I don't get out enough anymore to do that kind of stuff. I sure would like to cuz I've learned quite a bit from you. Thanks!
Hey Guys, i just wanted to say that Nick, pull a great "HEY EVERYBODY" I understand thats is your intro, but it just got better Nick... Keep up the good work, is nice to see a Pops and Son, Bushcraft video....
Reallybigmonkey1 It was totally cool, like looking at young version of you.... Also, i'm going to take this opportunity to thank you, for being more conscience about not harming live trees.. If you love Nature, Love is what you'll get in return every time You two are AWESOME! keep doing what you are doing, don't change a thing..
Nick sure has grown over the past couple of years (seems he might be getting a bit obstinate too!!!). I'm sure he's a good kid (every once in awhile 😉). Just remember to tell Nick that "You didn't forget the hole in the tarp (this time 🤣). I thoroughly enjoy watching the videos with Nick in them. Seems that Y'all have a wonderful relationship. I hope it stays that way for many, many years to come. Thanks for the great videos Dave and keep'em coming!!!
Love it... Nick is growing up, pretty soon he's going to be making his own videos. Nice to see the 2 of you having so much fun teasing and cutting up together. Wonder if your tipi style tent would be warm enough for winter if you lined the bottom third or half with emergency blankets. Message for Nick: Please keep extra charger cord for the camera/phone in your bag.... dad's getting old, memory is slipping, it's all up to you kiddo.
Thanks Shawn, I'm glad you liked it. Oh yes, with a reflective inner wall? Im guessing even the smallest of fire could keep this baby warm. Nicks watching out fer his ole dad. LOL. Thanks for watching
You 2 DID A GREAT VIDEO together. I LOVED IT!!! I haven't seen Nick on camera for awhile. You 2 look so much a like. You can tell he's your son... My youngest daughter looks just like me to. Kinda of scary, poor girl going to look like her mother all her life... lol... I tease her all the time. Thank you for sharing your video on this tee-pee. It's so neat how you can weld up something like this & plus have a fire pit in the middle & cook up some grub & coffee. You just amaze me. It's another great video of David in the woods productions! Thank you for teaching me something I had no idea how to do or you could do something like this unless your David.. lol.. Chris
Thanks Chris! I'm so happy you liked the video and the shelter. I think it's cool how our kids look like us. A few years back I saw photos of my great grandad and my great great grandad and was astounded at the resemblance! As far as the shelter goes, I figure if I can dream it, I can build it! Take care and thanks for watching.
Reallybigmonkey1 I'm thankful my 2 youngest kids love to go camping. My Mom keeps telling me my son looks a lot like my great great granddad. I'm going to stay after her until she either shows me a picture or print me off one. Technology what a great thing now days. She should give me a picture bc I gave her the dang printer. One of the 1st to print wonderful pictures of its time. My printer isn't working @ the moment. Dang it... peed off.... Oh well there CHEEPER now days. I paid over $499.00 for each of those printers. Top of the line you know. It's all good but I keep thinking I could of bought a nice sleeping bag system & mosquito net for that price I spent on those fancy all-in-one printers. But it was nice to give my Mother a printer. Which she doesn't own a computer either. But you can stick your sd cards in them & print your pictures. Also I LOVED Nick's shirt. That was to funny. I loled @ that for awhile. My husband to. So tell Nick I give 2 thumbs up for the shirt alone..... lol...... Looking for another great video FROM THE 2 OF YOU SOON, so you need to tell Nick the people love him & need him in the next video,Chris from Missouri.
Technology is amazing. The older pictures I have were from a printer too. Five hundred bucks is bad for a printer. I bet I've bought and thrown at least ten printers in my life!
Great video and nice tee pee set up. Love that you can cook right there in the tent. Tell Nick to treasure every moment he spends with you. I wish I could have done these things as a young man. I got to do some but mostly on my own and from reading. Nothing like a good father to share these adventures with.
Thanks Wayne, I'm glad you liked it. I understand what you're saying. We try and enjoy every minute together in the woods. Take care and thanks for watching my friend
I'm currently having a great time going back through some of your old videos. I'm loving your new quick build take on the old Sammi lavvu - pure genius. Much food for thought about how to make life more comfortable when out in the wilds. Many thanks for your efforts.
Thanks Boris! I'm glad you are liking the older videos! I had a lot more energy back then. Lol.
You raised Nick well. He's a young man of his own now and has a respectful relationship with his dad.
@@margaretlemmon1143 Thank you Margaret! I'm very proud of how Nick turned out to be. Thanks for the comments and thanks for watching
Ya gotta' love Nick. He adds that special something to the videos. Typical teen at the time.
And it's all great. I'm pretty sure Dave wouldn't have it any other way.
No matter what, it's a great day when your son will be by your side and go on the adventure with you.
I salute all you Dads out there that take the time to do outdoors with your children.
There are no better memories.
Trust me on that.
Very well said! And the most fun trips are made with Nick. Take care and thanks for watching
i like all your videos, but the videos with you and Nick have some great interactions and I really enjoy when he's a part of the video.
Thank you Zachary! I gotta say the videos with Nick are definitely the most fun to film! Thanks for watching my friend
I lost my dad a couple of years ago and we were the same way with one another. Miss that, thanks for sharing these moments man.
Ah man, I hate hearing that. It's good you two had the times together that you did.
I know what you mean, lost mine about 8 years ago, miss being in the woods with him.
A man that loves his father is a beautiful thing to see.
I agree and I'm a lucky man. Thanks for watching Andy
still my favorite innovator hope you write a book with all your knowledge in it one day i would buy that
Thanks, I'm glad you like what all I do so much Henery! Ah who knows what I'll do next. Thanks for watching
So would I. Buy the book that is.
Yes, a great idea! I am ready to buy this book!
David... These people that want to complain are just that... complainers... Their opinions in my opinion are, for the most part, worthless. In my business I have found that people that complain are not worth fooling with. Your channel is one of my favorite channels. It is obvious that you are a good guy, with a good heart. The information that you provide is great. All of your inventions are very interesting and I will most likely copy many of them. Your videos are a valuable resource. Please don't let those petty complainers bother you. Just keep up the good work.
Thank you John! You are so right brother. I often get comments so bad that I don't even answer them. Its just a delete and block because some folks you can tell them anything. Take care and thanks for watching!
Love to see you & your son together... memories you are making him for life. God bless you both! Love your videos.... thanks so much for taking the time for us! Come on up to NY and do one in the snow!
Thanks, I'm glad you like em all Earl. Man that would be cool to see NY. Ive never been further north than Indiana! Thanks for watching and may God bless you too!
You, sir, are a national treasure. These videos are getting me through the quarantine right now. I think this one is my favorite of your inventions so far, but I still have many more of your videos to go.
Fantastic to hear that Jana! Thanks for watching my friend
As soon as I get my Phd in engineering from MIT I will try this. Seriously, I am addicted to your hilariously entertaining projects.. A relief to see Nick is a chip off the old block.
LOL, sounds great Steve!
Another awesome addition to the library of videos. I think it's so great that you and Nick are able to have these special moments together. God bless, stay safe, and always enjoy your time together.
Thanks Brother Rick, I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching and may God bless you too man
Great vids as always David!! Nick, you are blessed to have a Dad like this... it is increasingly more rare these days. My Dad was/is like this too, and I never knew until I was older that most people don't get these experiences growing up. People like my Dad and your Dad inspire me to be a better Dad for my two daughters, who went on their first real backpacking trip last year. Cheers, Boys!!!
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it Derek. Man great to hear your Dad was like this. It is rare for these types of experiences and relationships to happen these days. Fantastic you are doing the same with your girls! Thanks for watching
This is my favorite channel👍
Thank you Ike!
Dave: we've watched Nick grow up from a precocious boy to a confident, talented, handsome young man. Nice to see him included personally in the videos. He is funny without being a smart allack. Hope you've taught him how to gas weld, TIG and MIG weld. Who knows where he's going in the future. You and your family are raising a wonderful young man. As for the ingenious tent/fire pot setup: pure Dave!
Thank you. He has grown up and turned out great. I'm proud of him and hopefully he will do well and go far. Thanks for the comments and thanks for watching!
Thanks again Dave for such a wonderful video! I REALLY love seeing you and your son enjoying the great outdoors and each other's company! I wish I had videos of my Dad and I and our family on our many camping trips and outdoor fishing exploring trips...what a wonderful gift to pass on to your children and your grandchildren! Enjoy it while you and yours can, life will never be the same again sooo cherish it while you and yours can! May the Good Lord Bless you and yours and safe camping, bushcrafting to you and yours ALWAYS!!!
You are very welcome and I'm happy you liked it! I guess most folks go camping and the last thing on their minds is filming it all. I wished I could have filmed some of the guys I used to camp with. Thanks for watching and may God bless you too brother
Great invention of you David! Thanks for sharing this quality time with your son with us. :)
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it and I'm always happy to share!
Now this is a base camp!! I wish I had this when I was younger and deer hunting in the snow. Just goes to prove you can make things yourself and now spend a fortune just to enjoy the outdoors. Thumbs up Dave!
Thanks Scott! Oh yes, this would be a killer deer camp. Not only is making the gear cheaper but it's half the fun!
Hey brother David,it was so very nice to see you and Nick together again.We have watched that boy grow up and become a man,and from what I can tell,a very good young man indeed. Like always,I really enjoyed your video and your very thoughtful inventions.You & Nick keep up the good work,and May the Good Lord bless and keep you and your family. Randy
Hello Randy! It's always great to be out here with Nick, and it is cool how Nick has grown from 12 years old to 19 on here. Take care, thanks for watching and may God bless you and your family
This is the best quick set up I’ve ever seen. I’m definitely going to use what you’ve taught here. Much appreciated Dave!
I'm glad you liked it Adam!
You can’t beat spending time out with family. Great vid you guys and great idea Dave. Take care look forward for the next 👍
I gotta agree 100%! And I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching
Really good to see you two out there and putting that together. Thanks for the video Dave and Nick. Have a great great night out in the woods.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. Man we had a great time out there! Thanks for watching
And Nick is back! With a sense of humour!
Twice as much fun in the woods!
Yep, and he always makes it more fun!
Fantastic shelter once again!It’s always great to see you and Nick out for an adventure together..
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. Man I love spending time with Nick
I love how real this video is, real guys out in the woods just being themselves no showboating or product placement just real life, and important information. I can't wait to watch your other videos and so far I'm a big fan
Thanks Dominic! You pegged us right, we are just ourselves on these videos. I aint selling nothing. Thanks for watching
Shelter, fire, and hot chow! Man, those are the creature comforts. Thanks for the video as always.
We had it all! Thanks for watching C.M.
So good to see Nick with you again, loved the double intro.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it Todd. Its always more fun with him around.
It is really great to see someone having ideas and trying them out. That’s the only way to learn. Do it, then see what worked and what needs to change. Love it.
Exactly! Ya gotta try this stuff to see what needs tweaking. Thanks for watching Lane
Wonderful video!
really enjoyed the father and son banter...none of that yes sir, no sir here....just two friends enjoying life!!!
i love the Fire pan and pretty much the whole system...Thanks David and Nick...awesome!...woods
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it Woods! At home it can be yes sir no sir, in the woods its game on! Thanks for watching
Nick: "Handy to carry things you dont need" Lol - - - great you are showing great stories with such humor. Dave, I like it, Michael
Lol, Nick is a load of fun to be around. Thanks for watching Michael
This is a GREAT one! You wrapped a " AIN'T THAT NEAT VIDEO " with your son Nick giving it to you with both barrels in a good natured family ribbing style. Thanx guy's!
LOL. Thanks, I'm glad you liked it all Glen! Thanks for watching
My favorite shelter yet. I had a three tree Teepee I built as a teen and spent most of my summer there. This has so much room and very efficent. Thanks for the videos. You and Nick get me so tickled. This shelter gave me some ideas to use at the family camp and plenty of room for my cot to fit with space to stretch. Dave you make things fun and let us laugh at ourselves.
Thats great to hear Gina and I'm glad you liked it so much! Teepees do have a lot more room than most shelters. Thanks for watching
Another great, great video. What a creative mind you have, yikes!You both make a wonderful duo.
Thank you for sharing.
Thank you Oscar! I'm happy you liked it that much!
Videos with you and Nick are the best. Father and son banter.
Thanks Paul! They are certainly the most fun to film
I am AGAIN, truly amazed at what you can do!
Thank you so much my friend!
David, I enjoy your, Nick, and Dads videos. Neat family!
Thank you Jim!
Hey Dave,(and Nick),
Thanks for making my day sirs,...another good one for the archives... it was good seeing the two of you together spending some outdoors time in the woods...Well Dave, you've taken yet another awesome idea of your mentors, added your own spin, and gave us all something brilliant.Awesome ideas,...I'd have loved to see how the original was cobbled together without the ''Daveisms'' applied, the hubcap idea is just priceless...What minds your camp-mates had,... you were so fortunate to have had the experiences of learning from such talented gurus of the woods.
Back in ''the old days'', when I was younger, we would camp a lot as a family, and many times would forget a key item or two...Well, after actually omitting a sleeping bag once, I came up with a simple system...A CHECKLIST !!....I compiled that list and added to it whenever we said ''I sure wish
we had a ....." I made about 50 copies, and used it every time we went camping from then on...now, of course the list was huge, and not all things went on all trips, but it was so nice having that check-list to refer to...It made preparations a breeze....( Seems like a no-brainer I know, but so many folks do actually prepare without a list, I'd thought I'd mention it, )
Thanks again for another fun video man...'Till next time, you guys stay healthy, and God's Blessing to you and yours Brother...ATB...CHEERS !!
Hello Steve! I'm glad you liked it brother. Well the set up they had was incredible. They had a hubcap up top with four holes punched in for legs sockets. The used bailing wire to hang another hubcap to hold the fire. Man to them guys, junk was treasure. Everyone needs lists, you just cant remember it all before a trip. Thanks for watching and may God bless you too!
You are the man Mr. P.....See ya' in the next one Amigo...Stay healthy.
Awesome tent & fire pan! You get the best ideas! And Nick, great camera work and hilarious t-shirt! Thanks, guys
Thanks Becky! We are glad you liked it
The Volcano Tent !!!.....Another cool tent you made I like the metal ring and how it holds the legs
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it Brother! Man I know you can make one of these rings!
Love seeing you and Nick doing things together. I see he has your sense of humor. Lol. God Bless
Thanks Janet, I'm glad you like what we do. Lol, hes a chip off the ole block.Thanks for watching
Great Video I always enjoy your videos. It inspires me to go camping.
Thanks Marlon, I'm glad you liked it. Get out and camp any time you can! Thanks for watching
It is so refreshing to see such humble, good natured people about. Very encouraging. As far as content, this channel is very good. easy listening, good humor presentations, practical and easy to assimilate instruction and information.
. . .And David, Nick has your 'HEY EVERYBODY" line down really good. Very funny!
Thanks! I'm glad you like what all we do!
One more thing love father son stuff. Your team not just. Father and son but a team of love that hard to find these days
Thanks Jackie, we always have each others back!
We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun....thanks for the video Nick and Dave.
Thank you my friend
Awesome video David super inventive nick did a grate job! All keep it short and simple but thank you for your creativity content I'm thankful for coming across your amazing outdoor channel😎🌲🌲
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it Jeff! Thanks for watching Brother
I used o do this every weekend, but its been a long time now. you both inspire me to get back out there. I enjoy watching you both. thanks for sharing
Sounds great William! I used to camp every weekend too but it's gotten to where lately about once a month due to the heat
Yay! Happy Friday! A new video from David 😊 awesome!
This is very clever, as usual 😊 I could see where you were going with this one immediately.. Lol thanks for sharing it with us! The hardware you assembled for the top ring and fire pan were great.. I've been checking out different types and gauges of chain to carry in some of my kits.. I have some of that cable already too 😁
.. I found a really interesting looking pot at goodwill a couple days ago.. I thought of you immediately!! Lol
I'll have to put together a care package for you with all the weird odds and ends I've found, just to see what you come up with 😜 thanks again for the video Hon, always nice to see Nick get out with you too! Talk to you soon!
LOL, Thanks Ruth! I'm glad you liked it. Aint it a great feeling to find something just awesome or one of a kind at Goodwill? I love care packages! Thanks for watching
Greetings to my fellow Southerners from Sunny Florida,USA!...love your channel!
Thanks! And greetings from Georgia!
I think that's the best thing you have built so far! I think you need to patent it quick and take it to market.
Thanks Cory!
"Peek a Boo" just an example of the humor of your videos. Interesting but a lot more prep required than I would care to do especially with some of the simpler designs that you have shown. Love your channel.
Lol, I don't mind the work in setting up a shelter, that's actually half the fun!
Great Video as usual, I really appreciate the way you show the honesty of how not everything goes as planned like some of the "Reality" TV show guys do!! It's refreshing. Glad to see Nick back on the camera, hope he's doing well in College.. Thanks again Dave, will be sharing this in multiple places!!! See Ya in the next one
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it Michael and thanks for the shares! Man I keep it real and want to be known for keeping it real. Good or bad. Nick is doing well in college. Thanks for watching
Cool! The idea of the 🔥 being higher than you, saves you from a lot of smoke. I learned that the hard way. Found a nice shelf on a cliff, that's where I'll sleep. With the fire beneath me. Well... Great upload thx.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it my friend
Hi Dave and Nick. Hey whippersnapper, I loved your shirt! (I can use that term cause I'm that old. Lol). Really enjoyed this setup. I guess I'll be heading to the hardware store. The use of the cable appealed to me. I would like to play with a few different configurations. You always inspire me my friend! It was great seeing both of you together. All the best!
Hello Cheri! I'm glad you liked it all. Oh yes, that cable is the way to go when it comes to fire! The possibilities are endless. Thanks for watching
That's a cool shelter, Dave. It's great to see you Nick having such a great time together. He's becoming a natural in front of the camera. Thanks for letting us join you!
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. Our best times are spent together. Thanks for watching
Great place to spend a day or two! Thanks fer the share Dave & Nick! ZZ.
Oh yes it was! Thanks for watching ZZ
Now that was a great excursion and demo of a fantastic shelter, looks very cosy with the hanging Fire pan, great chemistry with you two also. Congrats on your competition win, well deserved, enjoyed that Fire lighting challenge to, Thanks..
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. Oh yeah man, its a fantastic way to cook, sleep and chill! Thanks for watching
That is one hell of a shelter thanks for sharing Dave & Nick
Thanks Brother Dave!
This is by far my favorite shelter! I truly appreciate your ingenuity. You are very talented at everything you do. And btw.... I appreciate the relationship you have with your son. I wish my Dad was still here so we could still be making memories. The bond of a son and his father is probably the most important relationship for the son. They watch everything we do and they copy it... good or bad. You are a good father and your son seems to be following in your foot steps. Keep up the good work both of you! And Nick.... cherish these moments and do the same with your kids!
Thank you my friend!
Another great video Dave. Hope you and Nick had a wonderful Christmas. Finialy after all the time I have been watching your videos and gathering me gear so I can go out. I am now a proud owner of a Mora. Got one of them because of all the ones you have shown and your glowing recomendations. I can say this, it is sharp. But looking forward to praticing making feathers and notches soon with it.
Thanks Nathan, I'm glad you liked it. Yes, we had a great Christmas. Man that's fantastic you got a Mora! Youre gonna be hooked on Mora for life. Thanks for watching
I just started watching your videos and as a US army vet who loved being in the field, I love how you organize your kits. Not only do you have great ideas but the way you organize and execute them gives me inspiration to take a new look at some of my set ups.
Thank you my friend! I've always been a believer in keeping things organized. That's the only way to find out what's left behind.
Remember when Nick had to be begged to comment during taping? Ahh, they grow up so fast. Great video, y'all. Informative and entertaining, as always!!
LOL, oh yeah. And now he just won't clam up! I'm happy you liked it, thanks for watching
@@Reallybigmonkey1love his banter
I love your videos. You remind me of my brother. We grew up with his weird, crazy and sometimes useful inventions. Just like you, he created all kind of things in the woods and everywhere else possible. We had a good size working ranch, but also farmed our own foods vegetables and meats. Our family learned to work hard but played hard too. The ranch was a place the whole town felt comfortable visiting. We grew acres of ribbon cane and every year family, friends and town folk came out to watch the syrup making on the mill my grandfather and dad built. This was the one and only time during the year our big old spoiled rotten horse Nancy worked. Guess she paid her keep walking round and round as the town folk gathered. When the lids were tightly screwed onto each jar my grandmother and her quilting friends made sure they were wiped clean. Pure warm gold is what it was. A hush would fall over the crowd as a line quietly began forming. Dad would tell mother to get enough jars for the 5 of us till the next season and the rest was divided among the others. Everyone went home with a jar or two i assure you. I miss those days. I love that you tell people to get off the couch and make some fun memories. And the woods is the absolute perfect place, especially spending time with family. I have learned some neat things you've shared. Keep doing this. It really does make a difference in others lives. Thanks for your time and efforts.
Thank you so much Debbie and I'm glad you liked the video. Sounds like you had a wonderful child hood! I miss them old times too. We didn't have a ranch but we had a garden and raised chickens and rabbits. That kinda lifestyle is slowly vanishing. Thanks for watching
awesome setup. One thing though, You might wanna flip the last cable upside down, and attach it up top with one of the loops and a hook, then use the fixed hook for your pot..that way you can adjust the height and not have any "extra" cable hanging down into the fire
Also, I loved your video about the tarp tent with a fire place made with sticks and a fire blanket, gonna try that one out soon, thanks!
I built this set up about six months ago and stuck it on the shelf. I pulled it
down to camp and film and completely forgot that I did indeed design it for
the loops to be at the top.
Hey David and Nick! Another good and very creative video. Good to see y'all again. Glad to see your channel doing so well. Thanks for sharing.
Hello my friend! Always great to be back on here and we are happy you liked it
Howdy!!!
Good to see Nick has lost his shyness (much to the chagrin of his father.) Virginia says the fondest memories of Dad were the teasing between the two of them.
The best heated shelter with an open fire on U-tube....good job!!!
By the way, Virginia loves your new camo (looks like I'm going to be spending more money on a new outfit,)
Thanks for the show,
Clark and Virginia
Hello Clark and Virginia! Yep, Nicks shyness is long gone. Just like Americas interest in VCRs. Lol. I'm so happy you liked the shelter. That camo its what's known as multi cam or a similar version called Scorpion. Take care and thanks for watching
Virginia Bradley I
you two are amazing together i wish i had a relationship with my dad like you and nick have .i love your content its amazing learning all these skills from you thanks
Thanks Keith! We are very lucky to have the relationship we do have
If I was shown pictures of various camp set ups there is one thing i would be able to identify every time......Yours!..... your style and craftsmanship is unique to this environment. Reallybigmokey1 at its best, great watch....
Thank you Maff! Man that's very cool that my shelter style could be recognized!
Dave, very good shelter and cooking set up......enjoyed it a lot.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it
3 signs of getting old. 1. You need glasses. 2. You start to forget things. 3. Your son carries the bigger ruck. ;) Greetings from Germany from an old bald guy with glasses.
LOL, well said! Greetings from Georgia in the U.S.A.
Franklin's, remember this: Growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional!!!
I'm right there with you Sir, I'm 60 years old and "horse-shoe" hair!
4th sign of getting older. Having the *wisdom* to give your son the bigger backpack! 😂😂😂
Great invention Dave. Looks like it worked well. Also great to see Nick participate.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it Mark. Man it worked out great! Thanks for watching
A tip for the pot/kettle holding wire. Invert the wire, putting the loops at the top. One you don't burn your hands on the fire, when lifting the kettle to a new position, and the excess wire is not in the way. What is that fire blanket made of? I like Nick' shirt. As always, a great video. Just remember:- Your memory is excellent, it has not failed you yet, the only things you cannot remember, are the things you forget.
Funny you mentioned that, this set up was built six months ago and put on the shelf. I got it out and filmed and camped in it and completely forgot I designed it for the cables to be at the top! The fire blanket is just a fiberglass welders blanket. Thanks for watching Terry.
Another exciting video! Thanks Dave and Nick! Good to see you guys again!!
Yep, and I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching Ralph!
I know, as a general rule of thumb, you don't ever sell any of the things you make but, I sure would like to get my hands on one of those teepee rings. And no, I can't weld. Great idea.
And pretty much the reason its a rule is because I have zero time to make any gear to sell. Believe me, I would love to make gear and sell it but it just wouldn't rake in the money that my full time job makes. Ah who knows tho, maybe one day I can. Im happy you like it Matthew.
Think that would be easy to improvise with a grill grate if you can find one the right size.
Man, you should really sell these ideas. And always good to see you two in action and spending time together. Good video as always sir!
Brother I would love to if I had any time to devote to it. It just aint in the cards for me right now. I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching
Reallybigmonkey1 Ever thought selling an idea. I went to invent help (not dropping any names for profit) they help sell it after you design it.
So far no one has been interested in buying any of my ideas. As a matter of fact, no one has even ripped off any of my ideas! I guess they would cater to such a small market no one wants to invest in them.
"Peek A Boo!!" Killed me. I was thinking about how your new poncho was a little too big for hiking.
LOL, man that just hit me at the time! That tarp has to be big because I never have any idea how long the poles for the shelter may or may not be.
I wish I had a friend (woods companion) to share the outdoors with lol I'm a 39 yr old who absolutely adores the outdoors and hunting/fishing. Especially bushcraft which me and my cousin used to call "pioneering " back 20 yrs ago when I had a buddy lol! But anyway it's nice to see you guys hanging out in the woods I can tell it's nice to have that company and u guys enjoy what your doing! Someday soon I'm going to just walk my useless butt into the woods and keep walking until I can't anymore and where I fall, that's where the story ends......
You can go at it alone but it's definitely more fun and safer to go with others. Go when ever you can and thanks for watching my friend!
Wow what a video! And what a channel, you guys got a lot going on over here👍 I love the camera personality you guys have and how well you play off one another! You can truly see the bond between you💪👍
Thanks Brother, I'm glad you liked it. Man we always have a great time out there! Thanks for watching
Nifty rig indeed! You two are so fun to watch, thanks!⚡️🌎🐄
Thanks!
Its good to see you & Nick again, David. I like your design on the Top piece you made up and the Cable System & Fire Plate and all. Very Nice System. Dave, you getting like me now, you need to make yourself a "List" to pack your Pack. he-he. 😊
Always great to hear from you brother Danny and I'm glad you liked it. LOL, man its getting harder and harder to remember anything! Thanks for watching
Hello Dave and Nick!! Loved this video. You must not have bad winters in Georgia. We had a pastor of our church from Georgia once. It was so funny when it came about a foot of snow here in Va. to watch his family. They were so happy because they said it didn't snow in Georgia. I personally absolutely HATE snow. Think his name was Preacher Renew. We really loved him. As a mother to you Dave, "Don't forget your light!". LOL. Really, really loved the tent style setup. The inside fire pan and cooking is a brilliant idea. Take care now and love you both.
Hello Rebecca! I'm happy you liked it but sad you hate snow. Lol. You're correct tho, we rarely ever get snow in Georgia. Take care and thanks for watching
I love it. I think this my favorite cooking/sleeping set you have done. It's clever but so simple! I have no idea why you don't have a million subscribers. You teach us stuff and you make us laugh.
Lovely to see you and Nick out in the woods together. He has such a dry sense of humour. I wonder where he gets that from.
Anyways thanks for the video.
Thanks Annette! I'm glad you liked it so much! This is probably going to be one of my favorites too! Nick gets his dry humor from my brother. Lol. Thanks for watching!
Love, love, love your videos! Thanks for sharing! I'm learning so much from you. I love to camp, hike and backpack with my dog, Cooper. I'm going to try and get out there with him a bit more often then I do now.
I love Nick's shirt!!
Thanks!
Vic (Cooper's mom) and Cooper
Thank you so much Vic! I'm glad you like all the videos. Get out as often as you can. Thanks for watching
This very important bushcraft channel and the video he’s makes are great way to help people learn about bushcraft activities and education people learning about outdoors and I am glad to support this amazing man and his experience exciting bushcraft channel 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀👍👍🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴
donna pratt,
I couldn't agree with you more...Dave's style and the talents he shares are truly one of a kind indeed...I hope all subs remember to like, share, comment and hit that notification, so we can get Dave's channel to 100,000-plus subscribers, he definitely deserves his Silver Play Button...He's earned it....Take care Donna.
Thanks Donna!
Thank you Steve!
You bet Brother, you deserve all the success that's comin' your way !!...Be well.
This is the best camping idea i have ever seen and I'm an old guy that has been camping/hiking more than 50 years. Screw carrying a stove around.
Love your videos Dave. And "Yup, that is neat" you're always thinking. Nice job!
Thank you my friend!
I really enjoy watching these videos.. or as you may say, an awesome little jewel 😁👍👍
Thanks, I'm glad you like em!
That was awesome thanks for sharing. Boy Nick is really growing fast . Have a great day 📸👍👍👍👍📸
Thanks Drew, I'm glad you liked it. You have a great day too!
OMG, Nick cracked me up with that "Hey everybody" impression! Congrats on winning the knife! Dang Dave, I'd save up some pennies to buy one of those tent rings being on a retirement pay! This was probably one of your best ideas! Maybe show the umbrella attachment next time n how you reinforced the tarp top. What was the tarp dimensions?
LOL, man I had no idea Nick was gonna do that! I'm glad you liked it. All the umbrella thing was is a common umbrella with the handle smashed off and it sticks in a hole. That big tarp is a 19 X 21. Thanks for watching
I really like the connector you made to tie all the poles together. That's the key to the entire shelter and it comes at almost no weight penalty while performing many important functions. Well done Dave. The teenager in Nick is really showing.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. Yep, its key to the shelter structure and the hanging cook system. Nick is just a big ole kid. LOL. Thanks for watching
Dave,
Nice work. Like that you can have a fire in the shelter, with a pretty simple design. Odd seeing you make a shelter without several hanks of rope.
You should have hidden Nick's flashlight!
Take care.
Cantab Hiker, 👍 from sunny 🌞 Arizona. 70/40f today
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. Yep, odd for me with no rope but I do like to think outside my own rules from time to time. LOL. Thanks for watching
You sure do have really good tricks and ideas for the back country. But is hard to go about your own life and responsibilities, make a video, and teach at the same time. Great video, you guys are very entertaining to watch, and still learn. God bless you.
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it and the way I do things. Yep, with day to day life it makes it tough to find time to make videos
Great video brother! Looked like an awesome time!
Thank you brother! Man we had a great time. Thanks for stopping by
you are truly a bushcrafter. I don't get out enough anymore to do that kind of stuff. I sure would like to cuz I've learned quite a bit from you. Thanks!
Thank you Michael!
Another great video . I really like this set up.you should sale them rings, thanks captjohn.
Thanks Capt! I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching
That's an awesome shelter. This is why I've heard you were called the Tarp Shelter Guru. Love the shirt Nick. Thanks for takin us along.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it all. Brother there aint much I cant do with a tarp! Thanks for watching
Hey Guys, i just wanted to say that Nick, pull a great "HEY EVERYBODY" I understand thats is your intro, but it just got better Nick... Keep up the good work, is nice to see a Pops and Son, Bushcraft video....
Thank you Ernie! We are glad you liked it so much. I honestly had no idea Nick was gonna do that, it was hilarious!
Reallybigmonkey1 It was totally cool, like looking at young version of you....
Also, i'm going to take this opportunity to thank you, for being more conscience about not harming live trees..
If you love Nature, Love is what you'll get in return every time
You two are AWESOME!
keep doing what you are doing, don't change a thing..
Nick sure has grown over the past couple of years (seems he might be getting a bit obstinate too!!!). I'm sure he's a good kid (every once in awhile 😉). Just remember to tell Nick that "You didn't forget the hole in the tarp (this time 🤣). I thoroughly enjoy watching the videos with Nick in them. Seems that Y'all have a wonderful relationship. I hope it stays that way for many, many years to come. Thanks for the great videos Dave and keep'em coming!!!
Nicks turned out pretty good! He's a busy guy so it's tough for us to get together to film but we do every chance we get. Thanks for watching Thomas
@@Reallybigmonkey1he wouldn't be normal if he didn't make a few fun jibes at his dad. He's a respectful young man.
Love it... Nick is growing up, pretty soon he's going to be making his own videos. Nice to see the 2 of you having so much fun teasing and cutting up together. Wonder if your tipi style tent would be warm enough for winter if you lined the bottom third or half with emergency blankets. Message for Nick: Please keep extra charger cord for the camera/phone in your bag.... dad's getting old, memory is slipping, it's all up to you kiddo.
Thanks Shawn, I'm glad you liked it. Oh yes, with a reflective inner wall? Im guessing even the smallest of fire could keep this baby warm. Nicks watching out fer his ole dad. LOL. Thanks for watching
I love your camp videos. They are so enertaining and this helps me to remember the information in your videos.
Thanks Cynthia! Always great to hear that!
You 2 DID A GREAT VIDEO together. I LOVED IT!!! I haven't seen Nick on camera for awhile. You 2 look so much a like. You can tell he's your son... My youngest daughter looks just like me to. Kinda of scary, poor girl going to look like her mother all her life... lol... I tease her all the time.
Thank you for sharing your video on this tee-pee. It's so neat how you can weld up something like this & plus have a fire pit in the middle & cook up some grub & coffee. You just amaze me.
It's another great video of David in the woods productions!
Thank you for teaching me something I had no idea how to do or you could do something like this unless your David.. lol..
Chris
Thanks Chris! I'm so happy you liked the video and the shelter. I think it's cool how our kids look like us. A few years back I saw photos of my great grandad and my great great grandad and was astounded at the resemblance! As far as the shelter goes, I figure if I can dream it, I can build it! Take care and thanks for watching.
Reallybigmonkey1 I'm thankful my 2 youngest kids love to go camping. My Mom keeps telling me my son looks a lot like my great great granddad. I'm going to stay after her until she either shows me a picture or print me off one. Technology what a great thing now days. She should give me a picture bc I gave her the dang printer. One of the 1st to print wonderful pictures of its time. My printer isn't working @ the moment. Dang it... peed off.... Oh well there CHEEPER now days. I paid over $499.00 for each of those printers. Top of the line you know. It's all good but I keep thinking I could of bought a nice sleeping bag system & mosquito net for that price I spent on those fancy all-in-one printers. But it was nice to give my Mother a printer. Which she doesn't own a computer either. But you can stick your sd cards in them & print your pictures.
Also I LOVED Nick's shirt. That was to funny. I loled @ that for awhile. My husband to. So tell Nick I give 2 thumbs up for the shirt alone..... lol......
Looking for another great video FROM THE 2 OF YOU SOON, so you need to tell Nick the people love him & need him in the next video,Chris from Missouri.
Technology is amazing. The older pictures I have were from a printer too. Five hundred bucks is bad for a printer. I bet I've bought and thrown at least ten printers in my life!
Great video and nice tee pee set up. Love that you can cook right there in the tent. Tell Nick to treasure every moment he spends with you. I wish I could have done these things as a young man. I got to do some but mostly on my own and from reading. Nothing like a good father to share these adventures with.
Thanks Wayne, I'm glad you liked it. I understand what you're saying. We try and enjoy every minute together in the woods. Take care and thanks for watching my friend
