dave is an american treasure

[@GertrudeFilthbasket]

Thank you for the video, Dave.

[@davegoodridge8352]

Backwoodsman magazine is a great magazine!!

[@craftybynature3760]

living legend. . we are lucky

[@colinmackay92]

First comment!!!! Awesome video so far!! Love this channel

[@inkredableone8029]

When an emp takes out the grid Dave will survive

[@Ozarkwonderer]

very interesting load out. was not expecting the chain

[@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

[@BX138]

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

[@Kwendtster]

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

[@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

[@GrandMaMaYT]

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

[@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.

[@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!

[@autoozero2131]

Good for you Dave!! Stay healthy.

[@enzowarren9832]

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

[@AlaskanFrontier1]

man, this is really cool, thanks for sharing, and helping me learn how I can improve!

[@Hesric]

What about 10m string? I think it would come in handy.

[@DavidCanterbury]

In my Pocket with my compass most of the time brother

[@greatscott6755]

wildernessoutfitters what type of compass do you carry as EDC?

[@henryvandentop920]

Not entirely sure, but I believe he carries a Suunto MC2

[@salottin]

No need to apologize, Dave. I guess people can read the magazines you're writing for, if they need their knowledge fix xD

[@urbanranger2071]

Tumbs up Dave thanks

[@OscarLopez-gi2sm]

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

[@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

[@asheradensein]

3:50 I've been looking all over the internet for a match case that is similar to this one. What style is it? Does anyone know?

[@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.

[@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

[@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

[@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!

[@ppetrey]

Thank you Dave for your videos.

[@adrianwolf4570]

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

[@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.

[@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.

[@saiaddict]

3:35 i love that part ,i hate to say it but ya i got sucked into the whole "a ferro rod the best thing for a fire " mind set lol . thx for this vid sir , we all know youre a busy man so please only make vids when you got the time , we dont want you to work yourself to death lol

[@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.

[@viczzz]

Hi Dave!! Thanks for all the useful information! Do you know if your store will be carrying more hand forged belt buckles? Forgot to mention I have the same SAK, love it!!

[@rientb8783]

great video, where did you get that leather pouch? Rien ter Beek

[@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.

[@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

[@Cain0078]

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

[@cmoss192008]

keep up the awesome videos. just purchased a marbles 20" axe, you should check them out.

[@Psychonaut273]

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

[@WildTuscanyBushcraft]

Great edc !!! Love the pouch too

[@Blakehx]

Great video as always, thanks! I'd add a pack of gum and some cookies :)

[@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!

[@rfhero71]

Dave, what is a good Swiss Army knife? Also, YOU ARE AWESOME! thank you for your videos! Love watching them.

[@BorealWoodsrunner]

do you think a jewelers loupe would work as a burn lens? i know they can be high in power but lack size

[@jamesaritchie1]

They work, but it's easier with a bigger lens.

[@mysss29]

Ooh, good idea! I know he's emphasized magnification rather than size in the past...though I suppose more area does mean more light and thus more energy. That said, loupes come in pretty high magnification, don't they? So that might compensate for less light, since it's being focused into a smaller area? This demands to be tested.

[@fishhooks100]

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

[@tennesseesmoky9012]

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

[@cchgn]

Agree 1000% on the bic liter. I'd much rather practice primitive anything in front of a blazing fire, after Lunch or Dinner.....lol

[@davidharvey5672]

Congratulations on being so popular Dave.

[@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.

[@greedygringoprospecting6941]

you need a small water tight container for dry tinder the leather can absorb water oh go to craigslist (free) the big projection TV's 60 inch ones have lenses that will set anything on fire in under a minute I also carry a huntsman knife I love the ferro rod that's how I start most of my fires I also have uco matches mid sized ones I just carry my back pack all the time

[@ronwright2777]

Hi David. Could you show a bigger knife for survival though the path finder knife company

[@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.

[@unicron24]

Where can you buy belt pouches like that?

[@abefrohman1759]

Eyesee Check out Deep Woods Handcraft. I don't know if he made that pouch but Dave uses a lot of his stuff. The guy has a channel here on KZbin.

[@The_Dreadneck]

Eyesee he adresses that in his old belt kit video. He got it a renaissance type convention and had no idea who made it. he does recommend deep woods handcraft. I just got the campcraft rugged neo sporran pouch and like it so far.

[@3wholepunchjim]

I tried to order from Deepwoods but not able to reserve a site all I can find his KZbin videos.

[@jasonshaw3267]

any ren fair or celtic type festival. you can always make one. that type of pouch can even be found as a beginner kit for leather craft. making your own is much more satisfying.

[@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

[@explorationoutdoors752]

Do you carry a firearm in your EDC?

[@thomasbarrett9928]

Nothing wrong with carrying a couple of lighters, I do every day, of course I'm a smoker,,, you got to have a lighter lol

[@justincox938]

Glad to hear everything is going so well

[@candiced710]

Thank you Dave!

[@Nostri1824]

You were a Boy Scout weren't you? While I know it probably has just much if more to do with what you do day to day as soon as you said most of your EDC is ways to start a fire I was brought back to my days in the Scouts.

[@TruckerPhilosophy]

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

[@mikel8638]

Amen on the cigarette lighter! Everyone is way too hung up on alternative methods. I like to carry one good long life source of fire and about three or four lighters. They've never let me down

[@AdirondackAmerican]

When you need a fire.... yup bushcraft bics are the best :) always stay in practice w alternatives. but once you have them down, practice for fun and to stay sharp at it.

[@NorthernMIPathfinder]

Does your store happen to sell that magnifying glass and tin combo, as well as that match case? I would buy!!

[@Kennynva]

Is there anyway someone could send me a more knife, just starting out in bushcrafting and have no job and flat out dont have the money. Thanks

[@campcrafter4613]

It is great your having success but don't forget to spend some time in the woods for yourself and not do a dang thing other than enjoy it. Come up for air so to speak.

[@SurvivorMetalMan]

Great video Dave!

[@chrisxx012]

would like to see a video on you using your primitive fire starting with the accurate

[@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.

[@susanp.collins7834]

David, from which end to which end did you open up the belly? Without the head and tail it was a bit difficult to tell.

[@cujimmy1366]

Was surprised no Torch or Flashlight. But that is experience for you.

[@thirdlantern]

That leather pouch with the embossed raven is awesome. Are they for sale at SRO?

[@scottwilson1258]

I’ve leveled a few forest with my Hunter saw blade while Fishing over the years!

[@Trueffelschwein93]

Could you show making your own belt pouch from thin leather like this ?

[@josephholman1713]

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

[@davidleasure9138]

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

[@michaelcagle4662]

Dave, thank you. Always good information.

[@Lars1540]

Great stuff Dave! Hope you're having fun at Mora! =)

[@marcusmckenzie9528]

Busy man! Appreciate your time and efforts Dave :)

[@MrMadhouse70]

How do you make a knot on that pouch when its on your hip? Must be irritating

[@xjeepmanx]

hey Dave .when is the next issue of American frontiersman coming out?

[@God8-O]

I can imagine him w/ a Metallica T-shirt and black jeans.

[@Atkrdu]

Dave (or anyone that can answer): What are some good wilderness jobs that'll keep me in the woods for large amounts of time?

[@Blakehx]

Atkrdu Good question, let me know if you find one!

[@roryemms7484]

Atkrdu exploratory geologist

[@evildeadedd]

Atkrdu I'm no expert, but seeing as no-one else gave you any ideas, figured I would throw some out there. I would think the most stable employment would be with your regional fish and game wardens. depending on where in the world you want to end up, and if you are skilled. you can make a living trapping. you likely will never be rich, but if you willing to live a simple life it can be done. lastly you could try being an instructor in wilderness/survival skills. this would probably be the most fun and least "job" like, but you are completely at the mercy of others. getting students who are willing to pay a decent tuition for you time/knowledge can be a huge challenge. most instructors I know have jobs and teach on the weekends. if you have a good personality and are knowledgeable, you could always start a KZbin channel and try parlay that into books/TV deals. the market pretty saturated, but if you have drive and talent you can do it. good luck, and hopefully someone else chimes in with more ideas.

[@indianasquatchunters]

Hopefully I’m not too late posting this, but if you want to be out in the woods you’re looking at mostly government jobs and even then you’re probably won’t be spending many nights out in the woods. The list off the top of my head is any type of wildland firefighter some of the highly trained firefighters like hotshots can get airdropped into areas and are expected to stay there for possibly several days. There aren’t too many hotshots though so unless you’re passionate idk if this is a job for you. There is also other types of wildland firefighter jobs. There are other jobs through the US forest service, possibly the US dept of agriculture, US Dept of the interior, and the US land management bureau. Of course you can always check out working in national parks and being a ranger. There are positions for rangers across every state. There are also dept of natural resource officers for each state. States that are more remote like western states may have you in the wilderness longer than east of the Mississippi. You could look into logging or any type of lumber job especially out in remote areas. Another thing could be a hunting guide or even a general wilderness guide. In remote areas say for instance a hunting trip in Alaska you’re going to be living in the woods for several days. If it’s your main income source you’d probably be out there all the time. Same with fishing guides to remote areas. You could also be a guide for areas for people to hike. Long distance hiking especially through national parks would place you in the woods for awhile. If you’re passion truly is being in the wilderness then you might not need a job. There are loads of people on KZbin that are thru-hikers. They hike the Appalachian trail and the pacific crest trail ect ect. They love it, but these hikes take forever. These people don’t work. There are several youtubers who explain how they hike and still afford to live. Most of the time they work random jobs until they get enough to get them through the time it takes to hike. Again check them out and see if it’s for you.

Dave u need to come back to the gun shows man. I miss u brother

Good video Dave , what is the purpose of the polished agate ?????

Keep it up Dave. I love everything you do.

[@javiergimenez9621]

I might have watched this video 15 times over the years

[@sidorgan969]

could you do a video on using the blanket pin?

[@LifeFirstPlan]

If Daniel Boone had a Bic lighter he would use it.

[@treedirt10000]

I haven't seen or read a boys life magazine in so long.

[@bluewaterpines8323]

May i please ask who made your pouch?Thank you.

[@offroader9488]

Are you Dave or David...which chanel is his

[@JoeS322]

Any suggestions on where to get such a cool pouch??

[@eaglesnest2881]

You are the man.I enjoy your viedos

[@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.

[@paulwatterson5992]

I like you leather belt pouch .... nice

[@MrCalamine]

what is the slice of agate used for?

[@phillipdavis5241]

I almost froze to death once, so I carry AT LEAST 5 different ways to make fire. 1) matches 2) Ferrow rod 3) mag glass 4) a bic 5)flint & steal 6) steel wool ( lites with ferrow rod) ( I like your match case, where did you find it?)

[@scottsullivan9454]

Improvise, overcome...the chain and toggle...improvised spit, small game hangar for field dressing, etc, etc and only limited by imagination.

[@slowtaknow]

You should sell that style pouch on your site.
