Dave, I'm with you brother on the bucket. I raised my three girls camping with a five gallon dry wall mud bucket with an oval cut in the lid inside the tent. My oldest is now 22 years old and I still have that bucket. Thanks again for sharing.
Thank you for doing this Dave. This is the best. Seriously, even after you quit the Yurt Journal keep coming back here and show us what you want to teach. We will be watching for sure. Thank you brother.
Dave I'm a superfan and you always teach me something with every video. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and being an all around badass. I have turned many people on to you and your website because i believe you are the most knowledgeable and honest woodsman I've ever seen. Please never stop doin what you do and thanks again for educating me and all my fellow common men
Wow Dave, you really are enjoying yourself in that yurt. I'm so happy to watch your videos, I too have spend a great deal of time in primitive huts in the winter. Your videos brings back a lot of memories. Love your enthusiasm and way of life, live strong brother.
One of the things I like the most of your videos is you always have great information. But the best thing is you offer to sell most items from your Website, But you always let folks know you can get it from places like WAL-Mart. You are here to teach not just to make a dollar. Thanks for being a honest and true friend to all.
Good video ! i think you may be the first self reliance teacher to talk about and show how to sow. Thats why your ahead of everyone else. you show true self reliance, not just about making a fire or boiling water. Good stuff
Great video Dave. Thanks for sharing-sewing is a skill everyone should know-no excuses. I never through my clothes away until they're completely beyond repair. In today's mass produced buy/throw away/replace society people toss out perfectly good items because they don't smell new anymore. Meanwhile in other countries people have to make due with the barest of means.
Thank you very much for this series of videos. I wait in anticipation for every new one to come out. Every one so far has been very informative and educational. I believe you to be a true pioneer in the field. Keep up the good work!
Dave, thanks for sharing all of this with the UA-cam community. I have learned so much from you. I love the long hunter/yurt series! Keep it up! God bless!
You keep it very simple Dave. Thats the way to do things. A simple meal anyone can prepare and you do it right!!! A couple of chickens with you on a long term survival sceem and you're going to be alright. A little bit of dry sundries and you're laughing. Prepping is important but like you say. "live food never spoils" Love this series....Take care...Rod
Great info. Bank line seems like the best way to go. Iris is fortunate to have you as a back stop. Your videos are quite instructive thanks. Stay sharp and live long.
Thanks for the Bank line tip, I have been religious with para cord since 2001. I have used 35lb and 60lb fishing line for traps to include trip-lines.. Obviously they failed pretty often, but this Bank line Idea seems like a must for my kit. Thanks Dave!! Time to go shopping again
CONT> This is great for darning your socks as well and it won't be too thick and uncomfortable on your feet. Use something round inside the sock to facilitate your sewing and just sew in one direction across the hole without pulling tight then sew across the weave on the way back keeping it flat. Viola, flat darn and comfortable feet. Use the same stitch on any hole on any garment. With USMC background and eleven kids to care for you find ways to save and to repair almost everything.JJD
Thanks Dave another great video. glad you said something about the ash i was one of the people asking. i am only been into bushcraft for about 2 months now. i have a nice kit going including bankline amazeing stuff.i forget how i even found the pathfinder page but i love learning this stuff. thank you. i just got the stay alive book and the build the perfect survival kit, and the peterson edible wild plants. great books ready for the next vid
Great video Dave.... I found outdoor threat at a fabric store and I made a small repair kit out of an pen. I just pulled the ink out.. and wrapped with some duct tape and electrical tape.. then wrapped the thread around,.. tied a needle on it and dropped it inside the empty pen tube. Weighs very little.
I'm 12 years old and looking at all the survival guys and out of all of them you are the best and smartest I have watched all your videos and even made a ten c's of survival kit
Great Dave. A couple more suggestions. Try single thread sewing. Its neater and just as strong and you get more from the line. Thread the needle and pull an inch or two through and twist it between your fingers.and like you said it will stick to itself. You can knot the other end or I like to start a stitch and pull to a small tail then stitch over that tail to hold it and continue sewing.When your finished just put the needle through two or three times in the same stitch to tie off. JJD
Big fan here. You're an awesome dude and have learned a lot from you so far. Really enjoyed your TV debut as well. Please keep up the work and doing what you do.
now i know how to sew ....umbiatcha i was always doing it wrong , I never looped over like that and my stiches never stayed in place long , they always seemed to fall apart. Thanks again Dave going to watch no# 9 now ...
dave, i was a paracord fan till i ordered some bank line BUT i'd like to make the following recommendation: paracord takes a little room, bank line takes up hardly ANY room. therefore, take what paracord you normaly would and add 100 feet or so of bank line. this way you have 100 feet of the super strong stuff and 100+ feet of bank line for whatever you need cord for. if you take both you still don't waste a lot of room and you have a lot of options. just my suggestion.
My new cordage combo? #36 Bankline and I forego the #12 Bankline for Spiderwire. Spiderwire IMHO is infinitely better for sewing, fishing (the #36BL can be used for larger fish lines), material repairs and even suturing . I'd still prefer paracord for shelter set-up and I think keeping a hundred foot hank on board is never a bad idea. It doesn't weigh anything. But if I had to pick just one, it'd be the #36 Bankline for sure.
Ty for sharing the information you have learned... Most people refuse to remember this is where we can from, and this is where we are more then likely going back to... The people that had nothing, as some would say (Indians, Asian culture. Settlers, Cowboys) you name it the people with out modernized life. They are the people that will survive the (Big collapse)... I have to laugh when people think it hurts my feeling to be called a redneck or a hillbilly.. Your right, I am I don't need a TV.
Great Vid Dave, that bank line seems like the best stuff. I use a big spool of this coated string that's strong as heck, but I got it out & about in an auction or something, don't know what to call it. Just use it because I've got it, along with some super strong UV resistant new fangled twine, because I found 6000 foot spool laying on the side of the road. I kinda scavenge my way through life : ) but I'd lay down some green for that bank line if your site had any I could find.
@TheGordonjd Not sure if he still has it posted on his channel, but Dave did, once upon a time, sew a cut and filmed it for our grizzly pleasure. It was an earlier vid, so it may not still be up. I'd look in 2009.
@wildernessoutfitters I live in the Ozarks Mountains on Planet Arkansa. My home came with a storm cellar in the back yard.I wondered what would happen if a tree or other object fell across the door and trapped me after a tornado.For under $20 China-Mart carries a Reliance porta potty.Under the airtight lid is a place to keep a roll of toilet paper and a few blue biodegradable deodorizers.It would stop the questions about pooping in the "bucket"and your lady would be more comfortable in the Yurt.
dave! just went to your web site to buy both spools of bank line because you said you always have it and you dont have any...you must have sold quite a few today....lol let us know when you have some again and I will get some.....for now Im stuck with my old para cord I hope I don't end up stranded and need to build a trap. :) love the videos, showed some to my high school class today I am now an "awsome teacher"
He goes to the kitchen to make his own sandwich. He can do more with a single bucket than most men can do in a hardware store. Bacon grease is more than a condiment He's is the "World's most interesting survivalist" I do not always need cordage, but when I do I chose bankline
@TacticalAngel86 I remember reading that they had Cody first, then they auditioned a bunch of "military" survival experts. It's not surprising to me that Dave won out with his traditional tendencies and respectful demeanor. I don't think the others could put up with Cody!
Great info brother. I bought a spool of bank line. It smells pretty bad. It seems like it would keep animals away from your snare. Doesn't it smell unnatural. Please let me know. I still haven't put it in my pack for fear that my whole pack would reek of it. God bless you and your wonderful family. John
Look up the old Chouinard Expedition Sewing Kit on the web - I still have one from the late 70's or early 80's - I've been carrying it for that long - Dave, if you could re-create this kit there would be some mighty happy folks ( me included) - my two boys want to steal it from me, so I need some new ones to give them...
Dave, when are you going to come out with another book? Are you going to have a book published with all your pathfinder concepts? I have your first book, and I think that it is terrific! You definitely defined the essence of what wilderness survivability is all about, while taking out the nonsense that other books use as a filler. I look forward to seeing more videos. Keep up the great work!
@tblbaby I agree about the paracord fad. I think the main reason is that it's so plentiful and in so many different colors...but yeah, the "cool factor" is probably a good 50% of it too. I have to disagree with you on the "cordage" term, though. I guess you can call cordage "twine" if you want, but technically cordage is what lies between string and rope...to me it implies a very specific size range.
Outstanding, I really enjoy watching this series. Thanks for your dedication to sharing your knowledge in a simple and to the point way. You mention your book 'Survivability of the Common Man', I can't find a paperback copy anywhere, is it still available? Thanks again for your videos.
You used to be able to buy a pretty heavy duty set of needles at the grocery store and local dime store (showing my age) that were designed for sewing up a turkey for roasting. I'm wondering if these would work or if there is a special advantage to the canvas/sail repair needle and it's flat edges?
LMAO "famous bucket".....Great vid! Bring on Number 9........lmao When you repair your Wool blankets do you still use bankline or do you switch to a wool yarn type thread? Thanks
@TheGordonjd he is a "helluva man" he lit his arm on fire with black powder to cauterize his wound after he sliced his own arm open just to demonstrate how to do it. He's pretty badass!
@wcropp1 (continued) catch fire easier, or waterproof the cord in case you need to use it as tinder? Obviously the tarring has some benefits, but it also seems to have some draw backs. Is it really the way to go? I suppose if it doesn't spook critters or melt in my pack I can get over the smell. It's still harder to break down than the non-tarred kind, though. Any thoughts?
@Mpanattoni03 never use "para-cord". Use "parachute cord" para-cord doesn't have the 7 strands used as a core. There is def a difference between the two. Or definitely use the bank line as Dave suggests.
Dave, I could be wrong, but I think each strand isn't as strong as 1/3 of the strength of all 3 strands combined. I think that when you combine threads like that, the combination and the braid actually give it additional strength.
Ya know Dave, I just ordered a spool of the #12 bank line and while you were commenting in your video here about tying knots with it, it dawned on me that I can probably use this bank line to tie my arrow nocking points on my bowstring. I'm almost out of the waxed linen I've been using. The bank line may be a good replacement for the purpose. see my video /watch?v=x3Y5PUIodVA
I'm wondering why the tarred bank line is so much more desirable than the non-tarred kind? It obviously knots easier, and doesn't fray as bad, but this could be a bad thing if you separate the cordage into individual strands very often. It also kinda smells, which isn't a big deal, but does this not deter animals from your traps? I guess they're only afraid of human scent and not necessarily synthetic, chemical smells? Does it melt in the sun and get on your other gear? Does the tar make it
I just sort-of wonder how long until a reality series is done with others doing what you are doing with this Long Hunter & Yurt series. I think it would sell well.
@Montyfiable English class we are reading Lord of the Flies Its a class that struggles with reading so for each chapter that we do I teach them some wilderness skills, or show them soem vid's its been fun
wouldn't a curved needle work better? especially in tougher materials like canvas or leather where the curve can be used to push the needle through the material, straight needles seem to have a hard time to do this since the eye end is often too narrow to be pushed hard without hurting the person whose sewing.
You dont look like yourself with that beard brother, i'm sitting here watching Dual Survival and it's like you are 2 different persons; Santa and Dave canterbury xD !!!!!!!!
Canterbury is such a stud. You can see how passionate his is about survival and teaching others. Thanks for all you do!!!!
Dave, I'm with you brother on the bucket. I raised my three girls camping with a five gallon dry wall mud bucket with an oval cut in the lid inside the tent. My oldest is now 22 years old and I still have that bucket. Thanks again for sharing.

It is all so "KISS" keeping it simple Dave. However, we forget too, so thanks for keeping the knowledge flowing!
Haven't watched the Yurt series for a while. Safe to say I'm binge watching tonight.
This whole series has been excellent... Thanks Dave!

Thanks for sharing

Thanks Dave! Great series of vids. Lovin it!
The beard just keeps getting more epic every video Dave.
Big fan here. You're an awesome dude and have learned a lot from you so far. Really enjoyed your TV debut as well. Please keep up the work and doing what you do.
2:47.....But you use 6 cs.....the last one is coco powder.
I use a Stitch Awl, never leave home with out it! Loving the videos!!!
now i know how to sew ....umbiatcha i was always doing it wrong , I never looped over like that and my stiches never stayed in place long , they always seemed to fall apart. Thanks again Dave going to watch no# 9 now ...
Great video Dave!!! Keep these vids coming! Can't get enough of 'em! Later...
Very good video. I love these videos.
When you said 'choke up on it', I pictured someone trying to swallow a foot and a half of bank line... ;-)
dave, i was a paracord fan till i ordered some bank line BUT i'd like to make the following recommendation: paracord takes a little room, bank line takes up hardly ANY room. therefore, take what paracord you normaly would and add 100 feet or so of bank line. this way you have 100 feet of the super strong stuff and 100+ feet of bank line for whatever you need cord for. if you take both you still don't waste a lot of room and you have a lot of options. just my suggestion.

i hope you keep the daily "vlogging" from the yurt dave, awesome vid.
fashionable is cool,
practical is warm.
keep making the vids dave. ( loving the beard )
The now famous bucket. I love that
@wildernessoutfitters I live in the Ozarks Mountains on Planet Arkansa. My home came with a storm cellar in the back yard.I wondered what would happen if a tree or other object fell across the door and trapped me after a tornado.For under $20 China-Mart carries a Reliance porta potty.Under the airtight lid is a place to keep a roll of toilet paper and a few blue biodegradable deodorizers.It would stop the questions about pooping in the "bucket"and your lady would be more comfortable in the Yurt.
that is also how to perform the "blanket stitch", which is good for securing the raw edge of cloth.
@kphifer1 the beard is awesome!!!! Go Dave keep it for Dual survival season #3....
you are the coolest man on UA-cam. Keep up the good work =0)
dave! just went to your web site to buy both spools of bank line because you said you always have it and you dont have any...you must have sold quite a few today....lol
let us know when you have some again and I will get some.....for now Im stuck with my old para cord I hope I don't end up stranded and need to build a trap. :)
love the videos, showed some to my high school class today I am now an "awsome teacher"
@donthelawdog Agreed, I enjoy this series and its helping me learn a lot.
@avair12 If you are showing vids like this, you are an awesome teacher!
He goes to the kitchen to make his own sandwich.
He can do more with a single bucket than most men can do in a hardware store.

I do not always need cordage, but when I do I chose bankline
Another use for the needle could be to bend it and make a hook to fish with if you had a plier or multitool

I like to keep both the tarred and non-tarred with me. The white is lighter weight and I use it for non-hidden things.

I like the way you have this staged in this video! It looks a lot as though you are being lit by the grease lamp.
Hey Granny, after we get done knitting the sweater, can we have some tea and cookies?
xoxo
Ya know Dave, I just ordered a spool of the #12 bank line and while you were commenting in your video here about tying knots with it, it dawned on me that I can probably use this bank line to tie my arrow nocking points on my bowstring. I'm almost out of the waxed linen I've been using. The bank line may be a good replacement for the purpose. see my video /watch?v=x3Y5PUIodVA

dont worry man, i was right there with you with the ashes/lye bit. im edumacated.
I just sort-of wonder how long until a reality series is done with others doing what you are doing with this Long Hunter & Yurt series. I think it would sell well.
i assume you know what assume means!!!!! HA! classic... you rock brotherDave
-dilla
@TheKodiak72 either you didn't read all my question or your making assumptions. He doesn't say "Blanket".......assumption is MOAF
He gets really excited about the bank line in this one.
@Montyfiable English class we are reading Lord of the Flies Its a class that struggles with reading so for each chapter that we do I teach them some wilderness skills, or show them soem vid's its been fun
he should auction off the bucket at the end of the series for charity. hahhah.
Sweet part 8.
@joker52mlb
If he keeps that beard growing, pretty soon he'll be contending with Brett Kiesel (#99 - Steelers). lol. You're the man Dave! Later...
I think that needle is a little on the big side for sewing up skin... But i'm sure will work if needed..
i wonder if you can make a needle like that out of bone
only thing is i'm not sure how to make the eye without messing up the bone
Have you ever had an issue with the line grabbing onto itself and not allowing a trap to fully close on an animal?
Dave what about the wiki you going to make a journal of the wiki soon?
@TheGordonjd He did say "absolute emergency", if it's that or bleeding out I think we could all suck it up. But yeah, it would smart a bit.
he's starting to look like the "Worlds Most Interesting Man"
i use that same pattern to sew heavy materal good strong stich.
wouldn't a curved needle work better? especially in tougher materials like canvas or leather where the curve can be used to push the needle through the material, straight needles seem to have a hard time to do this since the eye end is often too narrow to be pushed hard without hurting the person whose sewing.
I use a heavy duty leather needle and they are dirt cheap you can buy 100 for like 10 bucks
please go over the wood burning stove and the baffles you were taliking about to maximize heat and using less wood
You dont look like yourself with that beard brother, i'm sitting here watching Dual Survival and it's like you are 2 different persons; Santa and Dave canterbury xD !!!!!!!!
@jraybu09 I would believe it would be because this is his Yurt Journal Series thing. Watch some of his other vids. They are really informative.
