dave is an american treasure

[@MG.50]

Thanks, Dave! I carry a very similar belt pouch and load, but the chain and the round blanket/cloak pin (pennanular or Celtic/Viking/Roman style pin) were EXCELLENT additions. I was gifted a "gentleman's flint & steel", a chain, worn as an old fashion watch chain (with a smaller button hole version of the metal toggle you demonstrated on one end) affixed to a small "U" shaped fire steel on the other end and a wire bound flintlock flint set 6" or 8" back from the steel. It might just work with the addition of a hook or two for my pot, as well. After 40-ish years in primitive survival and bushcrafting and 25+ years _since_ I was into Buckskinning and Living History of the Fur Trade period, IT IS FANTASTIC TO COME ACROSS IDEAS I HAD NEVER ENCOUNTERED BEFORE. Oh, I have used the pins, but to carry one in my belt pouch as an emergency item never crossed my mind. Again, thank you, and keep the videos coming!

[@JeffGloverArts]

Dave, thanks for these shorter videos. I don't always have the time for an hour long session. These - like this and the ice creepers - where you can get to the point, show what you're doing and get the point across in a compact manner are great! Informative and inspirational!

[@vonsprague7913]

Another simple no nonsense film from a man who lives it. Thanks DC glad to see you're busy.

[@Pharto_Stinkus]

Thank you for addressing the Lighter vs. Ferro rod thing. I always take a ferro rod with me when I camp, hunt, etc, but Iv'e also always carried a lighter, and used that 99% of the time. Doesn't make me any less capable, or less of a woodsman, but some in the community think it does. As always, you are the voice of logic, and reality.

[@Kwendtster]

Thanks Dave! Staying busy is a good thing so don't sweat it, you always bring quality and informative videos!

[@coryballinger85]

We really need more people like you. You're teaching a set of life skills that will be forgotten if not. Please keep making videos as they show your skills and save them for generations to come. I feel like you will be remembered like Elmer Kieth or Jeff Cooper.

[@wildatheartwilderness2887]

Great video Dave! Interesting to see how your kit develops over time. I rally like the idea of that piece of metal and chain. Gives me the idea of starting a series on scrape yard bushcraft items. The simplest of things can go along way. Thanks for the new ideas.

[@dennisleighton2812]

Dave, I applaud your up front support for modern inclusions, like the use of the Bic lighter as your primary fire starter! To me, that raises credibility, and is a pragmatic approach. It also shows that you deal with serious survival issues, as well as the fun of the old traditional skills of days past. It's good to keep the two separated. Well done!

[@seannrob]

Thank YOU for everything you do Dave

[@markmarin1]

agreed

[@jamesaritchie1]

You'd better be able to keep your own ass alive.

[@TheKimjoh560]

FlyingAxblade Dave can probably outlast most people in the wild.. but I'm pretty sure Chuck is impervious to cold and that he doesn't need to eat, drink or sleep. But I guess one should never underesitmate the power of primitive technology either... I mean there's a reason there arent any dinosaurs around anymore!

[@sosteve9113]

seannrob great pouch

[@davidharvey5672]

Congratulations on being so popular Dave.

[@MrRahim1988]

dave is a Legend . modest outdoor master i ever seen. he is number one .

[@tomstrickland2142]

I want to thank you Dave for all that you do to teach us all about bushcrafting and a lot more! I buy the majority of all my bushcrafting items from your store. Believe me, that I have bought a lot. Everything that I have ever purchased is first class quality and at a reasonable price too. Keep up the great work and please know that all of your followers have your back and understand that this is your busy time of the year, so your ability to make videos is limited.

[@Primitivebearknives]

I'm going to agree on the lighter as well. I always keep one on me just for that reason. that's the first go to way for fire making. easy and effective

[@jamesaritchie1]

If you're as good at building fire in all the primitive ways as Dave is, then using a lighter first is fine. If you aren't that good, then save the lighter and keep using the primitive ways until you can do them in your sleep. Otherwise, you'll be up the creek without a paddle if your lighter runs out of fluid, or the flint wheel breaks, which I've had happen several times.

[@lonewolf209]

They're cheap, small, readily available and effective. There's really no reason NOT to have one in any fire starting kit.

[@stealthysteve1]

hey I'm in SC as well

[@MrLordofthepies]

Done my belt kit and pouches all wrong... right back to the drawing board. Great video. Was so glad to meet Dave, legend! thank you

[@JonJon205]

Dave. Your channel might have been one of my first KZbin Subscriptions. I have been a long time subscriber anyhow. When I watch one of your old videos, I realize how you have come so far. You have really outgrown free You Tube Videos, but you haven't forgotten what you built your business off of. The common man. Good for you. It took guts to get where you are. We have had articles published in the same magazine at the same time. I was proud to be in the same monthly addition as you. Keep up the good work. Jon

[@thomasjohnson3793]

From the Great Northwest public Duck Blind thanks Dave you do have a busy schedule we appreciate what you can put out for we do watch I'm sure a lot of these things much like the piece of chain is what item that I never thought of when I saw it I knew right away what I would use that for and the buckle real nice wool blanket great content is always God bless from the northwest keeping it safe

[@alexanderweaver4838]

Brother Dave, you are awesome! Thank you for sharing the contents of your incredible leather pouch...gotta get one! I use a Nite Ize pock-its I found in 1981 while a paramedic in the Air Force. I still use it to this day but instead of medical emergency accessories I keep a S&W HRT folder, Smith DRET sharpener, 40 lumen pen light, a mini multi-tool, a mini Ronson fuel lighter, a tick remover and a Swedish light my fire rod. That chain (looks like a chain out of a toilet reservoir) and the twisted metal rod are great ideas. I was trying to figure out a method of hanging my GI canteen over a fire to "decontaminate" my water source. Check...add another two items to my pouch (rear pocket). Congratulations on being busy...you deserve all the success. Of all the survivalists on TV you were the real deal. I'm looking forward to attending one of your courses.

[@tomwilson7202]

Thanks so much Dave, for the work you and your family and friends do. I remember, stumbling on one of your videos years ago in the beginning and you were talking about knives. You were talking about good bullet-proof knives for survivability and featured both the K-Bar Fighting Knife and the Cold Steel SRK in Carbon V. I found an SRK in Carbon V on eBay, stripped the blade coating off and it's still one of my favorites. Many of us weren't aware of how to make good choices in woodcraft knives back then. But, we've learned a lot from you since then. Now when I grab a knife for a day in the woods, it's usually an antique Marble's Woodcraft pattern made by the Elgin Cutlery Company, after Webster Marble's patent expired in 1930. You're right, Dave, that what worked back then still works today. May the smoke from your fire carry your prayers to His ears and may He continue to bless you and yours.

[@ebony5766]

You changed my life, Dave you are the best.

[@inkredableone8029]

When an emp takes out the grid Dave will survive

[@THELanceParrish]

I'm really thankful for the "real talk" about using a good ol' Bic for normal use. I carry and practice all forms of primitive fire-making so I can keep skills up, but for everyday fire starting, it's hard to beat a flick of the Bic! Thanks for this candid video, Dave!

[@GrandMaMaYT]

I love the honest swiss knife not like the other fancy multi tools

[@moorshound3243]

Trust Dave to come with the best dam belt pouch video on KZbin. Very good Sir

[@Ozarkwonderer]

very interesting load out. was not expecting the chain

[@toneyjohnson8910]

Glad you are as much practical as you are traditional as far as the lighter goes. Thanks for the videos.

[@veteranpatriot4474]

Thanks Mr. Canterbury, I do so hope that we will be able to see you doing your own Television show one day. Yourself and Myke Hawke are better at presentation than any of the others I have seen. I do like Cody as he is laid back but you were always my favorite on that show as I felt I learned more from you as I am more of an outdoorsman Hunter type that Cody, And Myke Hawke was born and raised close to my region as I live in Virginia and can relate to the terrain he describes better. Again, Thanks, God Bless and God Speed.

[@Psychonaut273]

Pretty nice little leather pouch. Exactly the one I'm looking for

[@ppetrey]

Thank you Dave for your videos.

[@michaelallen9571]

Thanks for all your time you have put into these videos, I have learned so much from your channel as have many of us. I just wanted to say I appreciate it brother

[@thynerdnation5555]

nice to see your face Bud feel like I haven't seen you in a while. you're so busy it made my head spin. much love and sending all my blessings your way p.s. your hair is getting long I think Cody would be proud LOL

[@lukemiller4613]

Man I watched this vid so many times.. I love daves content. Your a legend man really. Thx for the knowledge. Im every Video.

[@autoozero2131]

Good for you Dave!! Stay healthy.

[@tennesseesmoky9012]

Looks like a great belt kit. Would like to see more about the use of the chain and S hooks

[@timroseberry9079]

Very cool. Be safe in your travels and congratulations for being so busy.

[@justincox938]

Glad to hear everything is going so well

[@dennisleighton2812]

Ditto with that light chain! I learned to use a length of mattress chain (when I was a Boy Scout!) because it was so readily available, and dirt cheap. Just pry open the last link, turn it around and you always have a hook! Great as a pot-hanger in camp!

[@darrinmartin8247]

God bless you Dave, you are the king. and great news on the new book

[@chadf1034]

I'm married with two young kids. have to work my ass off to get by, but I'm trying to find time and dough for one of your classes for sure. I'm out on my own but feel I could learn a lot with you's guys.

[@siksikaoutdoors5203]

Complete and utter respect for you and your ways Dave, another inspirational video. It was a sincere pleasure to have the opportunity to meet you at the Bushcraft Show yesterday afternoon 👊 ♠️ ✨

[@carternelson9704]

Love seeing the old Dave videos with the long hair and goatee. The Dave abides

[@OscarLopez-gi2sm]

Thanks Dave. You're blessed man. Keep up the good work!

[@knarlygnivesandoutdoors8034]

I have been a huge fan of your for years Dave, i have been watching you for years and you are quite the inspiration my friend. Your videos have inspired a lot of skills I have since tried learning and have to some success haha. Stay safe and healthy. God bless. -Kyle

[@josephholman1713]

backwoodsmen mag is my favorite thanks for everything you do great vid

[@islanddog211]

Dave,I just wanted to pass on I just purchased one of your knives. The Mountain lion and I'm in love with it. Thank you

[@patriotmaine1851]

You are a professional my brother! Love the vids Dave keep up the good work. Lots of useful knowledge I'm gaining watching them.

[@blademartyns]

Very good Dave, congratulations on the work!

[@fishhooks100]

Enjoyed! Glad you're busy with your success! Good to hear!

[@poetessaloud9385]

I so wish I could get your magazine.I love your videos.thankyou for sharing your knowledge I appreciate learning survival skills.

[@BX138]

If the Victorinox Huntsman is good enough for Dave, it's good enough for me. I always wondered which SAK he liked best.

[@WildTuscanyBushcraft]

Great edc !!! Love the pouch too

[@gacalu7150]

Brother that is a cool practical EDC, the little pouch awesome!😎

[@jeromebruening6134]

again thank you dave for all you do,keep up the great work, wish you were back on "dirty rotten survival"

[@Cain0078]

Thanks Dave, good inspiration for my own edc-summer kit.

[@michaeltheiss749]

Congrats on your success. You deserve it. Great content.

[@YankeeWoodcraft]

That's the same size as my PSK just about that I toss into every iteration of hunting loadout that I use. My PSK is a Condor Gadget pouch that's 6X4X4" with a 5X7" nylon tarp, 55 gal contractor bag, mylar blanket, emergency poncho, 1qt water pouch, Aquamira tabs, a USGI canteen metal cup, an ESEE folder or a multitool, a folding mini bread pan, 3' of aluminum foil, 3' of wire, a fire kit that includes a ferro rod, a Bic in a birthday balloon, an Altoids filled with goodies (fishing bits, 100' Spiderwire, sail needle, razor blade 12' duct tape, 80' bankline, fatwood, Fresnel lens, etc...) and a PFAK. Along with that I have a MagLite LED Solitaire with an extra battery and some bouillon cubes in flat packets & a MiO + Emergen-C drink packets. I'm going to do an overnight with it using everything in the kit. Last time I weighed it, it was 2.2lbs. Might be less now. In 3 or 4 years, I've never had to use it though. However, it's good to know it's there. I MOLLE it to my belt if I don't take a pack out with me on a scout, but I NEVER go into the field without it It's like a belt or boots or a cap. It just goes with me automatically. It's my own woods EDC kit even if I'm just stepping away for a few hours from my base camp. I gotta do an overnight with this thing utilizing all of the contents to show just how much can fit into such a small kit. I would actually like to use my Pathfinder Canteen Pouch for this same set-up while upgrading some of the bits for a more substantial kit without growing it so much. Along with the Canteen kit, I think that'd be the ultimate PSK/Woods EDC set-up.

[@stevestringham1095]

sounds like a good kit. make a video on it. i'm looking up the gadget pouch right now.

[@lesliesadler8524]

Good video. Thanks for all you do.

[@candiced710]

Thank you Dave!

[@sebbe4717]

sweden! im from northern sweden, really enjoy being in the outdoors from when I was a little kid :) hope you have a great time here.

[@willames363]

Cool video, thanks Dave. Hope you and your family are doing well. God bless

[@newenglandfb3995]

After a year and a half of not watching any bushcraft related videos I stumble on this one that time ago I got into a huge car accident got hit from behind and sadly lost all of my gear just went camping camp back and got nailed the pack and kit o worked hard on was gone, took all my my knives in that pack and everyone was crushed didn't have the motivation to watch any videos but dam maybe it's time to start over

[@erikparker9900]

love the chain Idea, but I think I'd go with stainless steel so as to minimize the rust. The blanket pin was a pleasant surprise, I am definitely going to figure a way to add that function to my outdoor edc kit. (again, likely in stainless) Thanks bro, excellent info as always.

[@Tristansfather]

hi Dave, the chain (for tripots etc.) and the Fibula (back to antique roots) are such great ideas...thank you for that, from germany !

[@dillotexan]

Great video Dave! Thanks! I was laughing because that belt-pouch started looking like a clown-car... stuff just KEPT coming out of it! I was looking for a trap door behind it. Keep 'em coming!

[@GertrudeFilthbasket]

Thank you for the video, Dave.

[@sheenabakos3075]

Hello Dave, I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoy your videos. I also wanted to ask you if you could do a tips and tricks on avoiding bites from ticks or mosquitoes in both a survival situation and for hiking/camping enthusiasts. As a person with chronic Lyme disease I think it's important to educate on this topic. Thank you for all the work you put into making videos.

[@eaglesnest2881]

You are the man.I enjoy your viedos

[@tomritter493]

staying busy that's always great never thought id see you do an edc dump great little pouch well thought out like that match case b.t.w you stay safe brother

[@chaosvolt]

Same way of thinking here. I keep the ferro rod and practice with it, so that I have something if the lighter runs out or breaks. And of course I have a second lighter in my usual pack anyway.

[@kodew229]

Hey Dave, just wanna let you know I'm a big fan of your videos. very informative. thanks allot man

[@enzowarren9832]

I carry a belt pouch myself. Different contents, but similar ideas. I’ll do a video on it someday.

[@TruckerPhilosophy]

Thank you for pulling out that bic and matches. I've always thought that ferro rods were kind of silly.

[@OutdoorScandinavia]

Great kit, sir! Just a thought, correct me if I'm wrong. It might be a good idea to keep the "needle" on the blanket pin not centered, so in case of a fall it couldnt pierce through the back of the pouch. maybe unlikely, but better safe.. I would also like to thank you for all the amazing tips and tricks I´ve picked up from you. The arrow slingshot is my favourite. So far.

[@Fiddlemaster56]

I think the frequency of the videos are enough to satisfy most viewers. The subscribe feature on KZbin is made for this. We don't have to worry or cry for more videos. It notifies us when you were able to make a new one. Keep doing what you're doing, leave the folks to learn patience while you're doing other things.

[@5in1killa]

Congratulations on your success.

[@salzer1000]

I really agree with your philosophy about preparedness. I find that I can align easily with it. The end of the world thing isnt for me either. I like that you are well spoken and that your videos are well presented, and i can appreciate that. I've been preparing for years and honestly didn't consider it as such in respect to trade skill building. Cool pouch. I'd like to make something like that. Keep up the great work.

[@billwolfram412]

Good Idea !!! Going to take my pouch that my pocket sling came in and use it with EDC for my neck of the woods !! Thanks

[@davidleasure9138]

Interesting video Dave. Like that belt pouch. Keep up the work and get some rest too

[@newageselfreliance]

Keep it up Dave. I love everything you do.

[@Eli-ie1yv]

This is a really nice video Dave!!!

[@mab0852]

No pouch, but I do EDC a Clipper lighter, ferro rod, SAK, mini multi-tool, and a stout folder. I wish I had the option of a fixed blade EDC, but I'm lucky to get through security as is.

[@ronhart288]

Great information about the edc pouch. Thank you

[@adrianwolf4570]

nice and usefull pouch , i like it , but i think you need a fishing kit and sewing kit inside your puch aswel .

[@eachday9538]

Interesting stuff. My only thought would be that I would choose a bright red multitool and lighter for when I loose those suckers in the leaf litter!

[@woodswalker64]
