I love the fact that he constantly drives the point it doesn't have to be equipment from his store, get what you can. It tells me he really loves doing it and profit isn't his main motivator
Dave seems like a totally cool dude. Not some douche that is full of himself. Dave i respect your knowledge and the fact that you obviously enjoy sharing it. Been watching you for years .Thank you for the many useful things you have taught me just from watching the videos you make,
Finally! A professional! Someone that knows what they're talking about. AND...you have NOTES to help you remember what you want to cover, in what order. You have to be the first speaker I've seen on YT that has notes! Most folks just wing it and it shows repeatedly that they are just talking off the top of their head with little or more likely NO preparation. THANK YOU for your presentation.
Hey Dave, love the videos brother! Along with the items you have shown through out the videos I have also added a onion bag to my kit. I have found so many uses for this from a fishnet, or a crawfish/minnow trap to stuffing it with grass for a pillow. Not to mention the storage uses of it. Just wanted to share it with ya all I havent seen it on any of your videos but then again I havent watched them all yet either. Keep'em comin bro you are a walking encyclopedia of knowledge!!
i'm finally satisfied that dave is a real dude! so far i thought i had a great understanding of the outdoors. all the great stuff he comes up with helps me to remember what i forgot! thanx and keep it up. i live for the outdoors and more amped up than ever before, great teaching's. V.Mtz
I go back and watch these over and over. You remind me of my uncles but with an internet presence. I grew up in the woods but I’ve been able to build a good collection of bullet proof gear to make staying in the woods more comfortable.
I've been shopping at the pathfinder school store for about a year. Not only does he carry all of it, but the prices are better than I've found elsewhere. It always arrives quickly and is nicely packaged. Best part is, there is a tremendous sense of satisfaction from the fact that you are supporting the channel. It has become my go-to place to shop.
Can't wait to attend this class with my bf next year for our joined birthday present to each other! What a great experience it will be, and I can't wait to meet you to learn from the best!!!!
I would really love to see you do Alone, I remember when Dual Survival first aired I was a fan from the git. Love the fact that you share your knowledge and that you are a humble man. Your an awesome guy Dave!
The thanks are all from our end to you and yours Dave. You really are doing a tremendous service. The fact that you've been able to provide for your family, while helping so many others makes you an true American success story. I couldn't be more proud. Again, thanks for all the inspiration.
You never cease to increase my desire to come to one of your classes...and I will be coming next year for sure! I'm glad you pointed this out...sometimes it has to be said to make people understand that the best gear is the gear you have that you can comfortable use or learn what they like best. Also, it always comes across that you really love to teach and share what you've learned. Keep up the great work and the vids coming!
I love David! He's honest and a bad ass. That's why I follow him. I can't wait. He wants to help everyone survive and succeed in the most extreme conditions. This is why I'll follow him anywhere. I can't wait to attend all 3 2022 survival classes. I been waiting years to get my trips ready. This year is it. Thank you David.
Just to say dave,I'm from the u.k. you've always been one of my hero's,im a avid survivalist,i admire your no nonsense attitude!thats what you need to stay focused,and move on,not to loose hope and give up!thanks bro for your amazing insight into survival!
I also just wanted to say Dave I love that not only do you give us such detailed and straight-forward advice for free but you also interact with us on a one-to-one basis unlike some youtubers who act high and mighty. I disagreed with you on one of your other videos about hidden tangs not being as good as full tangs (given proper heat treatment & steel) and you responded respectfully and didn't talk down to me or block me. Keep being down to earth and an overall awesome teacher. :)
I think it is outstanding the training you offer fills a basic need in the modern world for this knowledge. These days few people have grown up in the outdoors like we used to do.
Hey dave. I was recommending your channel to a co-worker of mine who has recently taken an interest in self sustainability and self reliance. She's gotten on a smaller scale facebook version of survivor, and she really did well, really surprised me! She is undertaking a life changing diet type of situation starting this past week. I think that the pathfinder school is exactly what this kiddo needs. She's searching for her calling right now, and hasn't discovered yet quite exactly what the search is for. I consider myself no expert by any standards. I've watched thousands of yours and others videos about the outdoors hunting surviving striving videos, and have practiced many of the skills I've watched. I posess almost every item you mention in the video, but have never actually gone deep into the wild to test my ability. I offer advice and gear info and whatnot as much as I can, but this video is how I kept growing too lol. She doesn't earn a ton of money, which is also an attraction for her for self sustainability. Just by chance, I know this videos from 2012 this makes it perfect! I don't have the funds for her gear that she'd need, but I'd loan her almost all of my stuff that could help her..maybe for a Christmas special edition, could you possibly gift this gal a weekend at the pathfinder school? It would make my day to help her, it would make her day to blossom, and it would make your day to teach and encourage the youngsters how to survive in the wild! It's rare to hit the trifecta! Peace dave.
Love it! Just letting you know. i got a kit together and started going out into my woods this year because of you dave! thank you man! one thing i like a lot is stuff about frontiersmen and pioneers
Thanks for sharing so much info online, I'm from the UK so I can't attend, but even if I could I'd have to pick some things up, I'm new to bushcrafting and love going basic and ultralight, skipping the luxuries. Camping out in the UK is a pain, even in summer (it rained all summer and we only had 154 hours of sunshine this year) but I like to think being used to rain is an advantage, it's the only way I can enjoy myself. Much love Dave! Keep being real.
This is great pre-training video! I attended a basic class in July, & it was great. Everyone brought different gear, and you get to see what works for you. If you don't get something, just ask. The staff has 100 ways of doing the same thing and 100 different ways of explaining the same thing. The end result is your will own the skills (I still owe a bow drill fire) if you make an effort. You think like a possum after this class. I am greatful to have had this instruction. Thank you Dave!...USAF
You are the coolest. I made the sling arrow as per instruction on your video. Works great. Thanks you are a true and straight arrow. I slapped a whisker basket right on top of a Barnett. the newer whisker baskets fit right on top dead center.
I, too, can attest to their usefulness. I've always got one in my pack. I live near Boston and have found plenty of uses for them in the city AND in the wilderness.
4 of us are signed up for he basic class in March. Can't wait. I have watched all of you videos, Dave. Learned a lot, looking forward to learning more.
We thank you for supporting your students in whatever way they need. You are truly a rare breed of people, and I support you for all that you do for us. You are why I buy from you. Products can be purchased anywhere, but character is something you can't find just anywhere. Thanks again Dave, and I will be praying for you, your family, and your business to thrive, and that yall will continue to gain a higher relationship with Jesus Christ our Lord!
Great videos I learned a lot from all your knowledge. I just found out that paracord planet makes a 3000 pound tensile strength paracord called paramax 5/16 in.But I don't see anybody on the internet making a video on this maybe nobody knows about it. Going back to watch some more your videos now.
The issue of taking your classes isn't in the cost of supplies, or the cost of the class; it's in the travel costs! It would be great if you/your instructors traveled to major areas (ie: Sacramento, CA) and held classes. I belong to a non-extreme 'prepper' group that would easily take up 20+ places in just one of your classes, if we didn't have the travel expenses.
Dave, I've always thought that candles were great to have in a kit, so much so, that I usually carry two, one in a dedicated candle lantern and one as part of my fire kit. The cheap dripping candles work great at starting fires in wet conditions,(assuming of course that you can light the candle) and they can add a few degrees of heat inside your shelter. Candle wax can be used in waterproofing, lubricating and a dozen other applications. They don't need batteries. If you break one, you get two. They're reliable. They even start with the letter 'C'. But I've never heard you mention one. Am I wrong about candle power?
Thanks Dave. Yes, I am familiar with your store as it has become my "go-to" place for gear. The last delivery was your PLSK1. Fantastic tool! Did a "belt-knife" video on it. Thanks for developing it.
Nice video Dave! Great way to try and include everyone in your classes and the outdoor lifestyle! Common man gear and common man prices doesn't mean you can't have quality dirt time!
I have seen some of your videos and I like to see how to survive in the wilderness, one of my favorite videos is is how to make a bundle bow in the wilderness, but wouldn't it be easier and more effective if you made a finger-sling or a shepherds sling instead? A properly made finger sling can even throw a projectile farther than a bow can shoot. tell me what you think.
Thank you so very much for sharing. I was hoping that you could give me some tips on how to prepare for a survival class. I’m a disabled veteran and I have a lot of chronic back pain. I would love to take your class I just don’t know how to prepare for it so that I can make it to the end of the class. Thank you for your time and patience. God bless you
Very well done. I like how you emphasized not to duck out if you don't have a specific thing. If I could, this one would be a 2 thumbs up. Good list and quick reasoning. Enjoy and stay safe. ~ Chet
I bought most of my pack gear from wilderness outfitters, like the 32 oz. SS canteen & cup, cooking ring, and the Hudson Bay tobacco tin. The bank line I purchased at Wal-Mart. They call it Catfish Tarred Setline. #36 x 486 ft. 235 lb. tinsel strength. About $ 8 bucks.
hey dave, you really need to do a video of the contents of the "Pathfinder Basic Survival Pack" kit. what suunto compass does the kit come with? will I need anything else for the basic class? thanks again for another great video. :)
Great video for the items for class. We going to start saving money for your school and will probably drive out their to save more money. Thanks for the tips Dave.
i learned most of my woodsman skill in my youth going to black powder meets and going on woods walks with friends and useing skills i learned from the meets
Great video's and subject matter Dave! I am only guessing why the #0000 steel wool would be needed,but i had an incident in my garage,while i was grinding on steel for a smoker i was building,long story short,a spark landed on a roll of #0000,it was smoldering at 750 degrees! Core temp,this would be a very useful item to have to help in damp conditions.THNX
Dave i,m getting my gear together so i can take your basic class. I have a 16" axe,, so I was wondering which knife to get. A condor nessmuk or a condor bushlore. thank you answering.
Great vid Dave! Attending your class is on my bucket list :) Would a CS outdoorsman Lite suffice? I plan on picking up a Condor knife soon as well. Thanks!
I've just started buying gear from the pathfinder store and am impressed with the quality and service given. Any chance you'll do a series on urban survival and/or disaster preparation for those of us in the city? Dave
thanks for this video. excellent information! it would be nice to see this bundled in your store to get a good deal for all the kit you need. different bundles could be created for different needs/classes. it would also be nice to see a list of the equipment in the description along with links to the items in your store. no reason why you shouldn't be able to generate additional revenue by drawing those connections, and we would all love the convenience of the links. keep these great videos coming!
man,guess i live in a hillbilly town,LoL. our wallyworld has 3 different kinds of bank line,great run down on the list of supplies Dave hope to make it to your school some day .
I just watch a vid by Wranglerstar about your pocket axe. Did you not like it, I've looked but can't find a vid by you about. I thought it turned out great. Love your work and thanks for your service.
I think that would be a great video aswell self reliance with a dog, considering I have two dogs I recently started building med kit for them in the field for small injuries but would love your input Dave!!!
I plan on buying the 10L dry bag off the pathfinder store but I am just trying to get an idea of the size of the 10L dry bag, the orange bag you have there is that a 5L or 10L bag.
I will be signing up soon look forward to taking as many classes as possible i have tools in place now need extra training that mora bushcraft black would add nicely to my kit hint hint
Hey Dave, thank you for the great videos! I have a question, what do you recommend for shoes? I know this is not a question Cody would be able to answer haha
I just took Daves last Basic Class, He is not lying....When he says he will loan you tools! He loaned me a High Dollar Axe and Knife..That was his personal gear..He would probably give u everything..if u didnt have the money and really wanted to take his class! He is that kind of person! He is the real deal...I can not saying enough about his Crew and family! They are in this to TEACH.....Dave leaves no one behind....and when you leave his school..You will be able to light fires in your sleep !
I have been ordering gear from ya guys, its quality and I am thankful. Also I have a question, (i may be out of the loop here)...are you planning on doing another television series?
the closest i found in europe is whipping twine. (Takelgarn in german) it is used to finish off rope ends as well as sewing up awnings and sails. it is not tarred, but it is waxed. i dont know the breaking strength, but i have not mannaged to break any yet. hope this helps
Hi Dave I got a question for you I know you're going to video on it but I'm not sure specifically what your answer is to my specific question if you would carry two knives only two knives and you were going to spend the rest of your life in the woods what two knives would you carry... How thank you in advance for your reply I really enjoy your videos and I watch them and I try to implement what I watch in my daily life I do live off-grid
Yo Dave, in a "SHTF" scenario (and just your opinion) would you look to stay in one place, stay on the move, or a combonation of both ? Thanks man, REALLY enjoying these videos !!!
Hey Dave, I'm not much of a survivalist myself but have you ever considered including a shamagh in your kit rather than bandanas? They're somewhat unorthodox but I can attest to the fact that they work great in a variety of environments. I live in Colorado so the weather's always changing and I use mine all the time. Also, they're huge when unfolded so that might be useful. Thanks for the vids!
I was wondering what brand or style Axe would you recommend for a survival tool. price is not to big of an issue because it will be a gift for my dad and I would rather have a quality tool so it doesn't break easily. Thanks. Love the videos by the way.
I love the fact that he constantly drives the point it doesn't have to be equipment from his store, get what you can. It tells me he really loves doing it and profit isn't his main motivator
Dave seems like a totally cool dude. Not some douche that is full of himself. Dave i respect your knowledge and the fact that you obviously enjoy sharing it. Been watching you for years .Thank you for the many useful things you have taught me just from watching the videos you make,
Dave Canterbury provides the clearest, most concise, and most generous instructional videos in the Self Reliance community. Long live Canterbury!
Finally! A professional! Someone that knows what they're talking about. AND...you have NOTES to help you remember what you want to cover, in what order. You have to be the first speaker I've seen on YT that has notes! Most folks just wing it and it shows repeatedly that they are just talking off the top of their head with little or more likely NO preparation.
THANK YOU for your presentation.
Hey Dave, love the videos brother! Along with the items you have shown through out the videos I have also added a onion bag to my kit. I have found so many uses for this from a fishnet, or a crawfish/minnow trap to stuffing it with grass for a pillow. Not to mention the storage uses of it. Just wanted to share it with ya all I havent seen it on any of your videos but then again I havent watched them all yet either. Keep'em comin bro you are a walking encyclopedia of knowledge!!
Dave is one of the absolute very best! Real and practical! He is fantastic!!
One of the most down-to-earth guys I’ve seen on UA-cam. Thanks for the great video and please keep doing what you’re doing !!
i'm finally satisfied that dave is a real dude! so far i thought i had a great understanding of the outdoors. all the great stuff he comes up with helps me to remember what i forgot! thanx and keep it up. i live for the outdoors and more amped up than ever before, great teaching's. V.Mtz

Your Military background teaching style works for me. I hope to attend a class or two in the future. Good job on this and other videos!
Great recommendations! If your looking to recommend a heavy needle try sail needles.
Well, I always enjoy learnin from ya. Your videos you post here are really more knowledgable then the cut up tv shows any how.
You are the coolest. I made the sling arrow as per instruction on your video. Works great. Thanks you are a true and straight arrow.
I slapped a whisker basket right on top of a Barnett. the newer whisker baskets fit right on top dead center.
I, too, can attest to their usefulness. I've always got one in my pack. I live near Boston and have found plenty of uses for them in the city AND in the wilderness.
4 of us are signed up for he basic class in March. Can't wait. I have watched all of you videos, Dave. Learned a lot, looking forward to learning more.
Great vid Dave! Love the way you stress to people that its not about the gear but the knowledge, mindset, and skill :D Cant wait to hit up a class!
I love how David is not saying that only his brand works it is amazing
We thank you for supporting your students in whatever way they need. You are truly a rare breed of people, and I support you for all that you do for us. You are why I buy from you. Products can be purchased anywhere, but character is something you can't find just anywhere. Thanks again Dave, and I will be praying for you, your family, and your business to thrive, and that yall will continue to gain a higher relationship with Jesus Christ our Lord!
your vids are by far the best on youtube and I will be attending a class this year
Great videos I learned a lot from all your knowledge. I just found out that paracord planet makes a 3000 pound tensile strength paracord called paramax 5/16 in.But I don't see anybody on the internet making a video on this maybe nobody knows about it. Going back to watch some more your videos now.
I always wondered what exact items you needed for the basic class. I'm gonna try and get down there to see ya for a class Dave.
The issue of taking your classes isn't in the cost of supplies, or the cost of the class; it's in the travel costs! It would be great if you/your instructors traveled to major areas (ie: Sacramento, CA) and held classes. I belong to a non-extreme 'prepper' group that would easily take up 20+ places in just one of your classes, if we didn't have the travel expenses.
Dave, I've always thought that candles were great to have in a kit, so much so, that I usually carry two, one in a dedicated candle lantern and one as part of my fire kit. The cheap dripping candles work great at starting fires in wet conditions,(assuming of course that you can light the candle) and they can add a few degrees of heat inside your shelter. Candle wax can be used in waterproofing, lubricating and a dozen other applications. They don't need batteries. If you break one, you get two. They're reliable. They even start with the letter 'C'. But I've never heard you mention one. Am I wrong about candle power?
your the man dave keep doing what you do.. thank you so much. Ryan
I think helping your fellow man learn to help himself is an honorable thing. Good Job Dave.
Thanks Dave. Yes, I am familiar with your store as it has become my "go-to" place for gear. The last delivery was your PLSK1. Fantastic tool! Did a "belt-knife" video on it. Thanks for developing it.
i tell you what Dave i sure wish i could afford to take me and my boy to your class. That would be a great time. Thanks for all the videos man.
i like your programme's also the wood working and blacksmithing programmes are excellent .
Hope to come to a class this summer. Thanks for sharing. -EDC
Great video, and I love the dry bag. I am so glad I got it, the shoulder strap is a great addition.
Jeremy
Two requests. Love to see your knife collection and would love to see another over night trip.
One of these days, I'd love to take at least one of your courses!
Nice video Dave! Great way to try and include everyone in your classes and the outdoor lifestyle! Common man gear and common man prices doesn't mean you can't have quality dirt time!
You are the coolest. I made the sling arrow as per instruction on your video. Works great. Thanks you are a true and straight arrow.
Can't wait to attend this class next year with my bf for our birthdays.... Exvied to learn and meet you
Hey Dave. Attending the pathfinder school is a dream of mine. Thanks for keeping it real brother.
I have seen some of your videos and I like to see how to survive in the wilderness, one of my favorite videos is is how to make a bundle bow in the wilderness, but wouldn't it be easier and more effective if you made a finger-sling or a shepherds sling instead?

I would love to take your class I just don’t know how to prepare for it so that I can make it to the end of the class. Thank you for your time and patience. God bless you
Good job, you're a good man Dave
Going through one of your classes is on my bucket list brother!
Very well done. I like how you emphasized not to duck out if you don't have a specific thing. If I could, this one would be a 2 thumbs up. Good list and quick reasoning. Enjoy and stay safe. ~ Chet
Dave your channel is great!
I bought most of my pack gear from wilderness outfitters, like the 32 oz. SS canteen & cup, cooking ring, and the Hudson Bay tobacco tin. The bank line I purchased at Wal-Mart. They call it Catfish Tarred Setline. #36 x 486 ft. 235 lb. tinsel strength. About $ 8 bucks.
Great refresher video thanks Dave.
Blessings.
hey dave, you really need to do a video of the contents of the "Pathfinder Basic Survival Pack" kit. what suunto compass does the kit come with? will I need anything else for the basic class? thanks again for another great video. :)
Great video for the items for class. We going to start saving money for your school and will probably drive out their to save more money. Thanks for the tips Dave.
Keep it up Dave, the one and only woodsman's guide.
Hey dave you dont have tell us what knife fails .....but would you buy and use a BK2...need to know ...thanks and great video
i learned most of my woodsman skill in my youth going to black powder meets and going on woods walks with friends and useing skills i learned from the meets
Thank you sir just the information I needed.
Since this is an old video I'd like to know wether those courses still are available.
Thanks for any answers.
Great video's and subject matter Dave! I am only guessing why the #0000 steel wool would be needed,but i had an incident in my garage,while i was grinding on steel for a smoker i was building,long story short,a spark landed on a roll of #0000,it was smoldering at 750 degrees! Core temp,this would be a very useful item to have to help in damp conditions.THNX
Again thanks Dave good videos...
I'll have to look into your school...
Dave kicks ass, wish I could attend a class.
Dave i,m getting my gear together so i can take your basic class. I have a 16" axe,, so I was wondering which knife to get. A condor nessmuk or a condor bushlore. thank you answering.
Thanks for the info Dave!! Now do you have any videos on how to convince your wife to let you go to the school? (LoL)
Great vid Dave! Attending your class is on my bucket list :) Would a CS outdoorsman Lite suffice? I plan on picking up a Condor knife soon as well. Thanks!
When I can go to the class I'm going. I hope Dave will be teaching when I do.
I've just started buying gear from the pathfinder store and am impressed with the quality and service given. Any chance you'll do a series on urban survival and/or disaster preparation for those of us in the city? Dave

I like how you tell us about the gear needed without pushing your products on us...it makes me want to go buy all of your products lol...
man,guess i live in a hillbilly town,LoL. our wallyworld has 3 different kinds of bank line,great run down on the list of supplies Dave hope to make it to your school some day .
Question about bankline, you use it to create snares in a few of your videos i was just wondering if the tar smell would scare off game?
Did you say at least 5 power for a magnifying glass? Thanks!
I just watch a vid by Wranglerstar about your pocket axe. Did you not like it, I've looked but can't find a vid by you about. I thought it turned out great. Love your work and thanks for your service.
I think that would be a great video aswell self reliance with a dog, considering I have two dogs I recently started building med kit for them in the field for small injuries but would love your input Dave!!!
I plan on buying the 10L dry bag off the pathfinder store but I am just trying to get an idea of the size of the 10L dry bag, the orange bag you have there is that a 5L or 10L bag.
At 4:50, what kind of steel wool is suggested? Thanks
I will be signing up soon look forward to taking as many classes as possible i have tools in place now need extra training that mora bushcraft black would add nicely to my kit hint hint
Hey Dave, thank you for the great videos! I have a question, what do you recommend for shoes? I know this is not a question Cody would be able to answer haha
Now this morning s the Cantaberry I remember from the time I ran across you!
All of this and a normal 3 day cheap tactical backpack only weighs 14 lbs total.

I just took Daves last Basic Class, He is not lying....When he says he will loan you tools! He loaned me a High Dollar Axe and Knife..That was his personal gear..He would probably give u everything..if u didnt have the money and really wanted to take his class! He is that kind of person! He is the real deal...I can not saying enough about his Crew and family! They are in this to TEACH.....Dave leaves no one behind....and when you leave his school..You will be able to light fires in your sleep !
Thanks Dave
I have been ordering gear from ya guys, its quality and I am thankful. Also I have a question, (i may be out of the loop here)...are you planning on doing another television series?
"comparable facsimile" nice vocab! Great public speaking as always, brother!!
you rock man way to break it down now all a need is a passport lol
the closest i found in europe is whipping twine. (Takelgarn in german) it is used to finish off rope ends as well as sewing up awnings and sails. it is not tarred, but it is waxed. i dont know the breaking strength, but i have not mannaged to break any yet.
hope this helps
Hi Dave I got a question for you I know you're going to video on it but I'm not sure specifically what your answer is to my specific question if you would carry two knives only two knives and you were going to spend the rest of your life in the woods what two knives would you carry...
How thank you in advance for your reply I really enjoy your videos and I watch them and I try to implement what I watch in my daily life I do live off-grid
Yo Dave, in a "SHTF" scenario (and just your opinion) would you look to stay in one place, stay on the move, or a combonation of both ?
Thanks man, REALLY enjoying these videos !!!
Great video Dave subscribed 👍
What specific items would you suggest putting in a survival pack?
Hey Dave, I'm not much of a survivalist myself but have you ever considered including a shamagh in your kit rather than bandanas? They're somewhat unorthodox but I can attest to the fact that they work great in a variety of environments. I live in Colorado so the weather's always changing and I use mine all the time. Also, they're huge when unfolded so that might be useful. Thanks for the vids!
Thanks very much sir! I'm very interested in your class!
I was wondering what brand or style Axe would you recommend for a survival tool. price is not to big of an issue because it will be a gift for my dad and I would rather have a quality tool so it doesn't break easily. Thanks. Love the videos by the way.
