ok, it was me that suggested another piece to stabilize the shelves. now, i want to compliment you on the old as dirt in a good way, REALTREE camo. i bought that pattern and another just about the same, man its been 20 years ago, nope more than that. as you know i like the Tigerstripe like you do but back when i was hunting a lot i noticed that Realtree pattern goes up and down . its a great match for our brush and trees that look the same. great job David. you keep makin em and we will keep watchin em.
Very cool David! Your idea definitely helped. Someone mentioned another tweak to your idea I'll try next. That Realtree is some good camo. Thanks for the comments and thanks for watching brother
There are takers and givers in this world Dave. You're a giver. Always freely sharing. Think of the people you've helped and inspired over the years. Many thanks.
Great tips and tricks David.But what I really liked about this video was in your closing seconds of it. I needed to hear your words about drama and worrying about this rotten world and enjoy what time I have left with my loved ones. Thank you so much for reminding me of that brother.
10 year old me: watching Bugs Bunny, Roadrunner, Ant & the Aardvark; 61 year old me: watching some mad genius roll around in the woods on an exercise ball LOL. The tip with the tent pegs blew my mind. I personally haven't had any issues but wow, that was a brilliant solution if there's a problem! I've considered making such a table but I think I'd use 3 legs only, 3 points make a plane and it's less to cut. But considering you used 4 I bet I'm wrong!
Lol! Well either way Im glad you liked it. I have three and four leg tables. The three leg are better but this one worked best as a bike shelf. Thanks for watching
It's like magic, when you post these videos.. the timing lol. Subtitles for this show, "al oo mini- uhm" in the woods with our forest favorite. Holy crap, you need to start a company so you can patent your ideas, reallybigmonkeys innovations. I can see it now.. everything but the outlet store. 😂
Thanks Kelly! Im glad you like them! Id love to start an outdoor company if I had financial backing. Too much competition to just run out and try it on my own.Thanks for watching
If it wasn't for things like the weather, certain animals, and protection from other humans, the woods could easily be home. And excellent life advice you gave at the end!
Re: tent stakes and holes in bags. Been watching for a very long time and, given what I know about your love of recycled clamshell plastic, I thought that segment was going to end with you making a plastic pocket for the bottom of the bag. Anyway, thanks for keeping me company while I ate lunch.
Great episode. The ball idea is also a great idea for travel for those of us who need to sleep on a wedge for GERD. I laughed so hard when you rolled over in that carriage cover!😂. Thanks, haven't really laughed in a couple of months.
Thanks Diane! I'm glad you liked it! Yep, a ball would be great for GERD and beats bringing 6 or 7 pillows. Lol, I truly did not plan that bag part. Take care and thanks for watching
It’s 4:00 am here in California, and I’m watching Dave…… a perfectly normal thing to do. If I could figure a way to bring a lazy boy chair into the woods, that would be great. 😂 Now back to the video. ✌️
Dave and a bungee sitting in a tree, C,O,O,K,I,N,G! Love these multiple-idea videos, Dave. Particularly the use of bungees; so much emphasis nowadays on using paracord for ridgelines and tie-downs but bungees don't pull the material too tight. Keep up the good work!
@@Reallybigmonkey1 always a pleasure, Dave. Other channels have dropped by the wayside over the years but yours always stays fresh because you're a born innovator. Plus, I'm really envious of your gear room. Not that I'm wishing it on you but I hope you get some poor weather soon because I really like seeing your gear.
It's amazing what monkeys can teach us about being human! Like how to deal with downpours and to make life more comfortable in the forest. They show with just a little improvisation how one may thrive when venturing outside the city walls. Thanks for the tips and smiles! Stay lifted and enjoy your weeks end, Dave!
Awesome collection of creative and ingenious ideas here Dave! That viewer suggested shelf mod was downright clever too! That's definitely one of the great things about UA-cam... that we can all learn a useful thing or two from anyone. I know that I've certainly picked up several great ideas from my viewers over the years for sure! And I just gotta say... you are the absolute undisputed master of the machete my friend! I'd likely injure myself if I tried that, lol. Loved your message at the end too buddy... Life's too short - Get out and enjoy! 👍 If I don't see ya here again before the end of the year, I just want to wish you and yours a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year brother!
Thanks Brother John, Im glad you liked it. Man I hear ya, any time I ever invent or create any thing I get great suggestions from commenters for ideas and improvements I never thought of! UA-cam has been a great place for me. Thanks for watching and a Merry Christmas to you too brother!
I love multi-functional items. A seat and a pillow, the exercise ball is such a cool idea! Thank you for the special message at the end. It's something we all need to be reminded of. Happy early Christmas to you and yours. -Hollie
In this episode of Chef Dave in the Woods... How to build a complete dining room with shelves, turn your regular bed into an adjustable bed, practice isometric exercises and much more all packed a single episode!
You will have to forgive Chris. Our neighbors were gifted California sparkling wine ( poor man’s champagne) and left it by the mailbox along with donated church food. We had a bottle with strawberries from the farmer’s market last night. His family are coming out to meet me. I’m making coffee . He’s dangerous half asleep. We loved visiting as always! Amanda
Another good video, Dave. Always a bonus seeing your ideas. I like the shelves and the mod. That would make them more versatile and more user friendly. Couple those with the standing cooking system, and that would be great. As you stated, the more you don't have to squat or kneel on the ground, as you get older, or have knee and / or hip issues, is a plus. I still love camping and taking the grandkids out, but just don't enjoy the getting down on the ground much anymore. You use your noggin and think, then come up with something. Then that makes us have to think as well. God bless ya'll, my friend . Ya'll stay safe out there on your adventures.
Thanks Brian, I'm glad you liked it. Ground cooking is for young people. Lol. I'll probably be using these shelves with my Tree grill. Thanks for watching and may God bless you too brother
Great video Dave. The exercise ball is a neat idea. The new bag looks like it will definitely come in handy for a bed. Or a potato sack race 🤣. I agree with another comment I seen. You have to be the most inventive/resourceful bush crafter there is. Take care and stay healthy. Can’t wait till the next video.
Thanks Matt, Im glad you liked it. Man you wouldnt believe the comments for ideas for that stroller bag! I love making and modifying gear. Thanks for watching
Dave: I was gratified to see you using the "billy club grip" with the lanyard on your machete. I've written and told folks about it for years, but you're the first I've seen who actually uses it. It is so much safer than the typical "thong around the wrist" method. (Ask me how I learned that lesson, some forty years ago.)
So fun!!! Keep those wheels turning Dave…the end products of your churning mind is always so innovative and useful….besides we love watching! Thanks for sharing as always 😊… btw for the corded tree chair, just a caveat I guess it’s important to recognize to find a configuration of trees that will fit one’s butt!
Love you're videos Brother Dave. You never fail to spread some knowledge and insight in the art! Appreciate you. God's Good Will to you and the Family buddy~John
Always a pleassure to see you Mr RBM1! Nice! This is almost a throw back to the good old days with your rope beds and stuff. Hidden in here is alot of materials knowledge and creativity - bungee, plexi, aluminium, steel bungee ball and more!
Always great to hear from you and I'm glad you liked it! I still love rope for beds and chairs but I try to not show them too much. Might get boring. Lol.
Dave you never cease to amaze. So many good ideas. The next thing you know you will figure out how to make a Laz-e-boy recliner out of steel rods and bungee cords, pile it all in your backpack and take to the woods.
Lol, thanks James! Actually I did make a bushcraft recliner out of canvas and webbing several years ago and put it on video. Take care and thanks for watching brother
Was not able to watch this until tonight. A LOT going on. It felt like the last few minutes when you stepped closer to the camera you were talking directly to me! Not trying to make it weird, but I really needed to hear that right now! God Bless Dave, and thank you.
One of my favourites Since the beginning. Love the content And honesti of your channel Always back for the next vids. Keep doing what you do Dave. Big Shouts from Spain ....
Good stuff Dave. I know you already have the tables made but if you make some in the future just include a 2-3" tongue sticking out the back and bent upward at 90 degrees.....then use a bungie or buckle strap around the tree and cross over the tongue. That way you have one less part to deal with. I like those tables. The tent stake tip is awesome and of course the table that takes the limb legs is stellar.
Thanks Wayne, I'm glad you liked it. That 2 to 3 inch tongue idea would definitely work but my only issue with that is it probably wouldn't pack flat into that green bag. I need something pegged or folding. Thanks for the idea and thanks for watching
Those Bungie cords are a real piece of creative skills and ideal for fitting the different tree situations at camp sites on the fly and reduce work keeping your goods off the ground. Camping is enjoyable when it's fun and less stressful keeping things in order with improvised systems , like with the big bag bugie the open end to carry grasses and around your neck 🧣 if a monsoon sets in 😃
I can't believe the things I learn on your channel. So many useful ideas!! Thanks for the encouragement at the end there, Dave. I was waiting all day to watch this. I quick downloaded it to my phone this morning but where I was there was so little signal I couldn't get UA-cam to load. So saved the best for last. :) The balance ball idea is very doable it seems like. And the machete and knife setup is cool.
Yes, don't want a camo coloured bike when out doing stuff in the woods or you might have a long walk home.😅 Looking into seating options is definitely a good idea, sometimes when you've put in the miles or been extra busy you just need a proper sit down for half an hour that doesn't involve another 2 hours of dragging logs about and cutting them to size. If you cut 4 posts about 2 feet each, unzipped the stroller bag all the way, put the posts in a sqare about a foot apart and put the stroller bag upside down ontop of the posts so the ends are the bag, youd have a roof and your upper body covered (sat down) in a pinch.
Hey Dave great video n ideas. Never thought about the exercise ball idea👍🏻. For the youngins wondering thats old school Trebark Camo clothes. Still great Camo if ya can find it.. Merry Christmas Dave n family🙏👍🏻👏🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it! This is the only set of Trebark I have left. I only show them off on video now. Lol. Thanks for watching Gary and I hope you have a Merry Christmas too!
dave, i have an idea, get 2 of those vertical rods and run them through the table tops. you have to remove your rods in the table top to do this then, use the bungies to hold the rods against the tree. i hope you understand my explanation. you insert one of the vertical rods in the top table top and with the same rod insert it into the bottom table top. do the some on the other side and then bungy. let me know if my idea flies or not.
Nice ideas....maybe also possible..to sit in the bag...over you, a poncho or an umbrella..so you are save in rain and wind...collecting wood..for a fire and store it, protected from rain in this sack, ...have fun outdoors an stay healthy😊
Hey Dave! I like the tent peg tip. I use the nail style from Harbor Freight and made a small leather keeper for the sharp points, but suspect your tip will work even with those. I'd almost bet instead of using that large stroller bag to haul grass, just use it instead of a trash bag for a bed. Have an awesome weekend brother, see ya on the new one.
Thanks, Im glad you liked it. Yep, turn any sharp points inward and itll help. Good thinking on the stroller bag! Its like a bed with shoulder straps for hauling! Thanks for watching
that outro is amazing and very well done. thought about the tree table with the bent rod. what would happen if you rotated the bent metal rod. so that one side would span the left side for both tables and the other rod would span the right. the next thing would be to fit a hardpoint to the center bend for a bungie to pull the thing out. I would think the setup might be a bit odd with the tables not holding the rod. might have to get a folder clip or spring clamp to hold it while attaching the bungees.
Tips and tricks videos are my favorite. I loved the idea of using an exercise ball and the slow motion explanation of how you use your lanyard on your machete really helped. I have some shoulder problems and am not strong or coordinated enough to flip it up the way you do.
Love the paracord lashing to the machete sheath. kind of like what I do. A tip to help with the cord slipping off at the bottom use a length of the cord and weave it up through the wrap and then go behind the knife sheath then do the same going down the other side. all ya have ta do then is a shorter weave to anchor in the cord then cut it to length and push under the rest of the cord. that also has the benefit of adding a little extra cord if the need arises. great vis as always Dave. thanks for the ideas that are swimming in my head. lol
![Pack Like a Hobo! [ 1930s Minimalist Travel Tips! ]](/img/n.gif)
ok, it was me that suggested another piece to stabilize the shelves.
now, i want to compliment you on the old as dirt in a good way, REALTREE camo.
i bought that pattern and another just about the same, man its been 20 years ago,
nope more than that.
as you know i like the Tigerstripe like you do but back when i was hunting a lot i noticed that Realtree pattern goes up and down . its a great match for our brush and trees that look the same.
great job David. you keep makin em and we will keep watchin em.
Very cool David! Your idea definitely helped. Someone mentioned another tweak to your idea I'll try next. That Realtree is some good camo. Thanks for the comments and thanks for watching brother
Dave is the most innovative Bushcrafter I’ve ever seen. Amazing. Love the tent stakes idea.
Thank you!
I’m thinking we’ll be seeing that stroller bag converted into many things in upcoming videos lol
Lol! Oh of course!
34:39 is RIGHT! by the Grace of God, I needed to hear that. Thank you Dave. 😊
Amen!

The woodland inventor strikes again. Kind of like a mad scientist but with bushcraft. Lol
Lol, thanks JC!
When you rode off down the trail with your backpack it reminded me of the guy riding off with his suitcase in The Great Escape.
Lol, ah man what a classic movie.
@@Reallybigmonkey1 It was the first movie I bought on DVD.

Thanks Randy! I'm glad you liked it. The world would be a much better place if everyone calmed down and left people alone. Thanks for watching brother
Your out of the box thinking is awesome. And I did not know your bike was there until you pulled the camo off.
Thanks James! Man for a bedsheet that's some good camo!
Amazing video can't wait for more fun in the woods with big monkey peace and love from 1 leg uk England
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it and there's plenty more to come!

Re: tent stakes and holes in bags.
Been watching for a very long time and, given what I know about your love of recycled clamshell plastic, I thought that segment was going to end with you making a plastic pocket for the bottom of the bag.

That would definitely work! With the trick I was showing was one that anyone can easily do
As always, loved your video. Missed Nick so tell him hi for me.
Thanks! Nick says Heeyoo!
Like the grab bag of ideas, and your presentation gave a chuckle or two. God bless you and yours. ❤❤❤

After retirement Id love to do in person group camp outings. Id probably film them.
You really should. Adaptability is key in any camping/bushcraft/survival situation and I think you've got that in Aces.
You will have to forgive Chris. Our neighbors were gifted California sparkling wine ( poor man’s champagne) and left it by the mailbox along with donated church food.

Those Bungie cords are a real piece of creative skills and ideal for fitting the different tree situations at camp sites on the fly and reduce work keeping your goods off the ground. Camping is enjoyable when it's fun and less stressful keeping things in order with improvised systems , like with the big bag bugie the open end to carry grasses and around your neck 🧣 if a monsoon sets in 😃
Exactly! Those bungees definitely make camp chores easier and more fun. Take care and thanks for watching Travis

I can't believe the things I learn on your channel. So many useful ideas!! Thanks for the encouragement at the end there, Dave. I was waiting all day to watch this. I quick downloaded it to my phone this morning but where I was there was so little signal I couldn't get UA-cam to load. So saved the best for last. :) The balance ball idea is very doable it seems like. And the machete and knife setup is cool.
Fantastic to hear that and Im glad you liked it. Thanks for watching!
Hello David merry Christmas to you and your family thank you very much for all the great tips bushcraft God bless you always stay safe outdoors
Hello Lewis and Im glad you liked it. Thanks for watching. Merry Christmas and may God bless you too!
Dave made a treecliner out of an exercise ball.👍
Lol, I like that name!
I have a similar rack I've modified,
Will have to get a vid up of it 🤘
Really! I'll have to see that!
@@Reallybigmonkey1 I did have a few vids on it but had an episode and deleted my content /shrug...
But I will get something up soon on it 👍
Dave you could rivet a center tube shape on your shelves on the bottom to put the new support in to eliminate the bungee.
Good idea Bryan!
Nice one thanks Dave keep them coming till the next video see you later mate
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it and lots more to come!
Excellent 👍
Yes, don't want a camo coloured bike when out doing stuff in the woods or you might have a long walk home.😅 Looking into seating options is definitely a good idea, sometimes when you've put in the miles or been extra busy you just need a proper sit down for half an hour that doesn't involve another 2 hours of dragging logs about and cutting them to size. If you cut 4 posts about 2 feet each, unzipped the stroller bag all the way, put the posts in a sqare about a foot apart and put the stroller bag upside down ontop of the posts so the ends are the bag, youd have a roof and your upper body covered (sat down) in a pinch.
Thanks, I love that upside down stroller bag idea! Thanks for watching
Good vid.
Im glad you liked it. Thanks for watching
Soooo much fun in the woods! Thank you!
It's always about fun! Thanks for watching
Hey Dave great video n ideas. Never thought about the exercise ball idea👍🏻. For the youngins wondering thats old school Trebark Camo clothes. Still great Camo if ya can find it.. Merry Christmas Dave n family🙏👍🏻👏🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it! This is the only set of Trebark I have left. I only show them off on video now. Lol. Thanks for watching Gary and I hope you have a Merry Christmas too!
dave, i have an idea, get 2 of those vertical rods and run them through the table tops. you have to remove your rods in the table top to do this
then, use the bungies to hold the rods against the tree. i hope you understand my explanation. you insert one of the vertical rods in the top table top and with the same rod insert it into the bottom table top. do the some on the other side and then bungy.
let me know if my idea flies or not.
I understand and I like that idea!
Nice ideas....maybe also possible..to sit in the bag...over you, a poncho or an umbrella..so you are save in rain and wind...collecting wood..for a fire and store it, protected from rain in this sack, ...have fun outdoors an stay healthy😊
Thanks and I like those ideas!
Hey Dave! I like the tent peg tip. I use the nail style from Harbor Freight and made a small leather keeper for the sharp points, but suspect your tip will work even with those. I'd almost bet instead of using that large stroller bag to haul grass, just use it instead of a trash bag for a bed. Have an awesome weekend brother, see ya on the new one.
Thanks, Im glad you liked it. Yep, turn any sharp points inward and itll help. Good thinking on the stroller bag! Its like a bed with shoulder straps for hauling! Thanks for watching
Good to see you Dave! Bin stores are great for gear! Mr. B keeps asking "Is he your brother?"
Always great to hear that! Is who my brother?
@Reallybigmonkey1 You,Dave are my bin store brother.
that outro is amazing and very well done.
thought about the tree table with the bent rod.
what would happen if you rotated the bent metal rod. so that one side would span the left side for both tables and the other rod would span the right. the next thing would be to fit a hardpoint to the center bend for a bungie to pull the thing out.
I would think the setup might be a bit odd with the tables not holding the rod. might have to get a folder clip or spring clamp to hold it while attaching the bungees.
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it. I like the sound of that idea, I may try that
hey dave buddy good to see ya post . hey in case i dont get to later a very merry Christmas and a happy new year brother .
Always great to hear from you and I hope you have a very Merry Christmas too!
Fun in the woods with Dave Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching David
Tips and tricks videos are my favorite. I loved the idea of using an exercise ball and the slow motion explanation of how you use your lanyard on your machete really helped. I have some shoulder problems and am not strong or coordinated enough to flip it up the way you do.
Fantastic to hear that and I'm glad you liked them!
Love the paracord lashing to the machete sheath. kind of like what I do. A tip to help with the cord slipping off at the bottom use a length of the cord and weave it up through the wrap and then go behind the knife sheath then do the same going down the other side. all ya have ta do then is a shorter weave to anchor in the cord then cut it to length and push under the rest of the cord. that also has the benefit of adding a little extra cord if the need arises. great vis as always Dave. thanks for the ideas that are swimming in my head. lol
I'm glad you liked it and thanks for the info!
