[@PotbellyTurtle]

You offer a great service to your viewers with videos like this. There are many folks who can't afford to spend $500 to $1000 dollars for a brand new, high end bushcraft/survival system. It's good to have someone who reaches so many people, to share the common sense approach. Thanks brother and keep up the good work.

[@DeanReadYorkshire]

I have said it before and I know I will keep on saying it, thank you Dave for your generosity in making and sharing these videos, I am learning so much from you and passing it on to all my family. Kindest regards Dean

[@DementedMutt]

It would be really cool to see a video on the process of finding an axe head and how you refurbish it and fit it to a new handle.

[@rbljackson]

Another comman man series...these are by far my favorites because anybody can put a decent kit together using your ideas, and recommendations without spending a fortune. Looking forward to the rest of the series dave...thanks!

[@RandomButtonPusher]

The leather 7-inch Ka-Bar sheath (under $10 on Amazon) fits the Old Hickory 7-inch butcher knife perfectly -- stitched and riveted, with a tie-down hole at the bottom. My two vintage OHs stay in even when turned upside down and shaken.

[@foxelcoate8903]

These videos are brilliant, this has been my personal one stop shop on everything I need, I have personally with this mans guidance set up a sustainable kit. This man two thousand years ago could have created a city. Well done Dave I really like these videos on bulletproof kit.

[@keikuru1]

Thank you for constantly looking out for the "common man" and doing these types of videos, it shows how truly dedicated you are to sharing information with us and not just to promote your store/site. That just shows what an awesome guy you are. Keep up the great work, thank you for all the videos. :)

[@b7camp]

Another great vid Dave. Back in the 90s I was a leader in the scout troop that my son later became an eagle in. I taught alot of the things you teach to the scouts and their parents for about 10 years. I've since then retired but miss it. It's in your blood ya know. I have watched all your vids at least once so keep up the great work brother !

[@WuLe993]

Excellent video, looking forward to new ones. Being from Bosnia shoestring budget is all I have, so seeing a well known expert talking about it is very helpful. Thank you very much for all the things you show us for FREE, you simply can not beat that.

[@maisetas]

1095 high carbon steel full tang knife for 11 bucks ? wtf ?

[@jrmakawoody]

Glad to see that you are continuing the budget bush-craft series!

[@TheRobq7]

Yes Sir!!!! This series has got me excited! This just might end up being my favorite set of videos ever!!!! I can't thank you enough for sharing the wisdom,Brother!!!!

[@randybadass5904]

Kabar sheaths fit the 7 inch hickory butchers as well

[@jelkel25]

If you have the patience, catering auctions will get you a bargain on knives, steel pots and maybe even Dutch pots. Restaurants are one of the most common businesses to go belly up so there's always lots to bid on.

[@sloanemcgarrah4644]

Smart man.

[@jelkel25]

Smart man/cheapskate it's a fine line!!

[@inflictionsurvival]

I love these videos. they really show us all what you can do with your money with things you may already have (pliers & saw etc). many times companys use backpacking/bushcraft as a marketing tool to get you to buy their product and mark up the price when you already have the common sense tool in your garage.

[@walleyefishinrod3115]

great idea for a series Dave. Great idea!!! Can't wait for the next one. Take care brother...Rod

[@wildernessshouter]

Out of all the videos I see on these subjects Dave, you always have the most bulletproof ideas. My survival pack is tool heavy.

[@alwaysdriveing]

Nice, looking forwards to more of this series. I have been convincing people of the usefulness of a bow saw for years.

[@DesertBushTechAZ]

Dave, my dad got one of those Old Hickory butcher knives at a soup kitchen he volunteers at about a year ago. Really old - beautiful patina on it. I made him a leather sheath for it and he absolutely loves that knife. I have to admit, it is a great knife and the blade design on his is very useful.

[@beaverclanapacheb]

Going to be yet another great series, keep up the great work Dave. Love your posts.

[@208stroker1]

In 3 hrs im leaving for a 3 day bush survival camp in the mts...about to start packing my truck just wanted to watch a few vids with Dave....HIS videos are the very first thing i look for everyday on utube.!

[@RobSmith123456]

Nice to see you getting back to your roots Mr Canterbury.

[@BlackthornBushcraft]

Another great vid, it never ceases to amaze me the money some people spend Thanks Dave

[@ldn0224]

Love all your videos Dave. I would add that for saws I carry a small hand saw that our local gardeners use on a daily basis. I bought one and granted it was 27 dollars but level of sharpness is amazing and they actually do last very well. The sharpness reduces the amount of energy needed and they weigh basically nothing and yet tough. The maker is Barnel and i've used it repeatedly and works very well if your energy is low. I just wanted to throw that in. Works great in desert regions.

[@Wanderer_of_Sol]

I gotta say, I'm pretty excited to see the rest of this series. You've got some good opinions and advice, Dave.

[@1BattleRattle]

Keep on keeping on! I'm constantly amazed at how knowledge - able you guys are. Thankfully prolific too, because I really enjoy your videos. So drop em like they're hot.

[@Rendar600]

Really excited about this new series your discount series is what got me thinking that yes I can do it can't wait for the next one thanks for all your hard work

[@elbauzan]

I love these common man themed videos!!!Keep them coming and thanks so much for taking the effort and time to make them for our benefit

[@smallcat121]

Excellent new series Dave. Hell knows I am common man, living pay check to pay check. Thanks for the great info Dave.

[@hebrews412alan]

glad to see the plain ole bow saw straight from the hardware store, one of the most under rated tools in all of bushcrafting.

[@The420Landshark]

Two thumbs up to your intro! Great video, going to be another great series. Your the best Dave!

[@Boxerpapa1]

Dave, this going to be an excellent series. Many thanks !

[@busansanai]

have my opinel 8, old hick 7", and my new Victornox Huntsman waiting to be shipped... so stoked cant wait till it arrives!

[@bfxp63]

Dave, I have always loved the Old Hickory knives...Like you stated bombproof and low cost not cheap! thanks, Jeff

[@neptunesgirl11]

Yet, another great lesson. Thanks for all your efforts in teaching the masses, Dave! You are selfless in your quest to helping all of us get back to basics. Your videos should be required watching in schools everywhere. If more young people were to learn how to be more self sufficient in a survival situation, he/she may in turn be more apt in solving other life problems, as well.

[@HullBushcraft]

Loved the first series looking forward to your updated approach to it and the camp cooking one, sounds like some great vids coming up dude.

[@juggalo8787]

I love when I watch your videos and I see a suggestion I sent you being implemented. Makes me feel all special and fuzzy inside, lol.

[@outdoorsaddiction1085]

Just ordered the Old Hickory Butcher Knife...looks like a awesome blade for the price. Going to order the unmarked KaBar leather sheath to go with it. Thanks Dave and for the person in the comments that said the KaBar sheath will work with that blade. Absolutely loved this vid. 👍

[@zyraxes23]

thx Dave, your work (videos) are truly inspiring. i am really a fan. i can hardy wait the weekends to try some of your advices.

[@goriverman]

Thanks Dave for all the common man common sense idea's. watching your video's is a real eduction thanks

[@yerdone4]

great information on mentality to follow when getting together your kit nice vid dave really enjoying them

[@jmdavis45]

This is going to be an excellent series. I love all of the "common man" videos.

[@steveyb1901]

I really enjoy your "on the Water Series", can't wait for it to come back.

[@LordAlexVSWild]

I am partial to my Corona professional folding pruning saws, they are very similar to your Laplander folding saws that you have mentioned before. They come in 7" and 9" blades, have red handles, and I have climbed trees with one for years. They are extremely sharp, have red handles, and run around $15.

[@CanadianCanoeist]

Great vid Dave. Gonna love this series.

[@tommypk86]

Great video. America is extremely cheap. A pocket knife like that in Australia you'd be looking at over $50, similar with those axes. Pretty much anything you guys have triples in price when it hits Australian shores.

[@erickitt]

YAY! Budget Bushcraft, I was hoping you'd do another one of these. Thanks Dave!

[@Fretfeeler]

Another great video. I have also personally been intensively researching and testing the absolute best quality gear that you can get on a budget. I love everything you display in this first video, but if you live in an area where you can't frequent flea markets, gun shows, and garage sales, you can still get high quality gear cheap, even with shipping costs. I can't say enough about Morakniv, they just work, and the ones with the plastic handles and 3/4 tang are damned tough!!!

[@kylemcgeever]

Man that old school multitool is awesome, love it! I have the exact same old hickory knife, my favorite knife.

[@cowboy477989]

Great start to this series! Looking forward to the rest as always.

[@EmmonsThomas]

I have a 20 year old Old Hickory butcher knife that I 3D printed a good set of handles for that is my go-to knife for camping and hunting. You can hone those things on your boot and shave with them. Great advice.

[@stevepourciau]

My mora is the 511, big thumbs up for fingerguard while skinning and glad to see them included I was gettin nervous when it hadn't come out

[@TheMontanaBushcraft]

Always enjoy watching your videos. Keep up the great work.

[@poolmann29]

Common man tools at a common price. Thank you for all the great advice . Be save and God bless.

[@bowdog62010]

I really like the budget bushcraft but then I like all of your vids. Thanks Dave C.

[@HunterBeforeTheLord]

Hey Dave! My Name is Chris i Really have been enjoying your videos, Learned a lot, and still learning. You know how it is. But i just wanted to say the Yurt Series was Great, I'm in a Missionary Training School in Crown point, Indiana called TheRoar and before i graduate i am Going to Mongolia to help start a branch of the school there, and seek out unreached Mongolians in the steppe, gonna be living in yurts most likely. Appreciate you Dave, keep it up Sir. Stay Sharp and may God Bless you.

[@wyattoneable]

I remember that video about the old Germany multi-tool for .25cents. You were very excited to find that. I can't blame you either, that was one heck of a deal! Great series coming up, I can tell were going to learn something!

[@jeffgrey663]

Gerber lmf2 is a great knife option as well. Saved my life last trip I went on

[@donnya1000]

Great to see this, attainable for just about anyone willing to do some work.

[@TexasNomad]

Great Series Dave, Love budget Bushcraft

[@kumbackquatsta]

very excited about this series

[@cigarsboozeandnews9726]

Great video Dave. Thanks for all you do.

[@fredfreiberger7878]

thanks dave i do alot of what u say as far s getting gear i have to shop around the places mentioned in this vid thanks and keep your axe sharp

[@shorty430551]

Dave, on the small saw what I like to use is a long sawzall blade then wrap the back half of it with cordage till it fits my hand. That way it's duel purpose and I know you love multipurpose so I had to share.

[@longrider42]

All I can add, is the single edged axe, you also have a hammer. As for a saw, and thanks for talking about that. A small Drywall saw, very handy. Also Stanley, who makes tools, at one time made a small folding saw, that used sawzall blades, that you change out with a screwdriver. And you can carry extra blades in the handle, but only up to the six inch blades I think. As for a knife, I have the Condor Hudson Bay knife.

[@stoneman886]

great vid Dave.. looking forward to this series

[@ther1kid]

Great info! I'm looking forward to this series.

[@ther1kid]

Great info I'm looking forward to this series.

[@congamike1]

I love everything about this video. but, I could say that about most all of them. I am totally caught up (again) and can not wait to see what videos the future brings. I do allow myself 1 luxury cutter, a small pruning shear. It will clean index finger sized shoots off a branch in a hurry. Get the plastic one for a scout, the metal ones for sustainability. On to the next video... can't wait. Thanks brother! (Wow do I appreciate what you do)

[@Hefferman1]

This is going to be a great set of videos. I like the bow saw, and will add one to my pack. I still carry a survival saw, that looks like a chain saw with two handles, but this will add perfect to that. The bow saw will be better for exact work.

[@GuardianEthos]

Along with the same lines as a Mora, I bought a Old Hickory paring knife when I picked up the butcher knive a while back. It's not full tang either, but as a backup or fine work knife, I think it works quite well.

[@thomasgoodison6294]

Bought one of those Old Hickory butcher knives for a dollar :) Got the paring knife for free. Made each a leather sheath. Total cost $14.

[@Lazydogsleep]

I like common man kit the best. Taking something and making it better makes me feel like its mine, not just store bought. I have purchased a ton of gear over the years and most of my favorite items are refurbished, old and crusty looking. Reminds me of my Grandfather, feels like home.

[@blueberrywine69]

this was such a great little series

[@congamike1]

I love everything about this video. but, I could say that about most all of them. I am totally caught up (again) and can not wait to see what videos the future brings. This was a good benchmark for me; I have secured satisfactory cutting tools. On to the next video... can't wait. Thanks brother! (Wow do I appreciate what you do)

[@milesstoneman]

Hey, Dave. Great video. You are right in saying that some "bomb proof" items are more expensive and require a little discipline to save for them. Lesser items will do in the meantime, as you know. Thanks for showing the way to self-reliance without either relying on "cheap" stuff, or breaking the bank for pride's sake without getting anything more reliable.

[@brothersofvalhall]

Nice video and super good tips happy outdoor camping and hunting. Ceap up the good work ,peace and love from norway

[@Timothy_Jones]

Late to this video but I love your approach on this subject!!!!

[@Cannonbo]

thanks for the history on the double bit axe. very interesting.

[@dacs67]

you cannot beat those PLUMB'S i have a collection of them that my dad and I have been picking up over the years. Including a BSA edtion. I would love to find the double like that. pretty cool. On a second note and I know youve not got there yet, but I grabed a easy up tent and frame out of the trash in my neightborhood after a huge wind storm. The darn thing was brand new but the wind had trashed the frame. The cover forit is spotless. 10X10, and waterproof.,Thats a no budget shelter rite there

[@Hondo782]

I have always liked the common man videos great job . I honestly can say that some of the older tools I have hold up much better than newer versions I have and if you dont mind looking you will come across things like the old axe heads and knives.One often overlooked area I see is not something that is as much fun as tools or knives but is really important is clothing , I would really like to see a pathfinder edition video on common man clothing that is bombproof .

[@RossGilmore]

Very good call on the saw. From a practical stand point the frame is worth the weight.

[@richardissitt8435]

looking forward to the rest of this series , check out the Swedish army surplus axes for a small 19 inch style forest axe

[@ianrickey]

Dave - I love hearing about budget bushcraft knives. I have a Mora that I've used for awhile, sharpens like a razor, but the lack of full tang makes it my backup knife. I keep looking for an old Ka-Bar at a garage sale for $10 but sadly... Looking forward to Budget packs!

[@TheRobq7]

Have been thinking about this series for a couple of hours now and a couple of conversations on another forum, and have a great suggestion. At the end of the series could you please put a pack together using gear shown in the series and go on an over night? You could even tie in a couple of the other series you are working on such as the " By the Waters Edge" and the "Camp Cooking" series. Hike into a stream or river edge or lake shore, set up camp, catch some fish and cook'em. Just a suggestion

[@Rockunstank]

Thanx Dave C!!---if nothing else---bro, you INSPIRE!

[@moduniq95]

just a joke man, you made that extremely clear in the video. i really enjoy the content, keep it coming.

[@GrimrDirge]

Dave for all the great videos you make, I can even forgive the country bumper music. Great, great, great. I'm a tool snob, but you make me want to run out and buy a budget set just to put it through its paces.

[@1anddone732]

Great series!

[@PittsvilleDirtFarmer]

281 views and no comments? Nice job Dave, I love the Old Hickory knives. Can't beat them for the price.

[@DonnyB]

Outstanding, as always looking forward to more videos!

[@jguitarz1]

I like how Dave shops flea markets for things in which all of us should do.I have found many items for cheap as well as at Goodwill thrift shops.I have got things from Wool jackets to packs,knives etc at thrift stores for cheap.Some good points guys,doesnt need to be brand new. ;)

[@MrShooter54]

Another very knowldgeable video. Thanks Dave,

[@Forgivenessdaily]

Brilliant video Dave! -Cheers!

[@scottdarden12345]

im starting my own budget kit form seeing the first series but im going more like this one. not for the cheapest i can get the one thing. i would like to see is something on hygiene and things form the woods you can use to keep clean. keep up the good work!

[@coolastro]

Really enjoying the video's Dave I got a 21" bow saw at goodwill for $2 that plastic pipe is a good idea for a blade cover I'll have to make one for mine

[@7A7ER]

And just as a sidenote Dave Canterbury breaks out what might be The Original Multi Tool! From German engineering in the early 1900s....I love it. Thanks Dave!

[@Edogawa1117]

Excellent video! Very informative!

[@fillodebreogan2955]

Hey Dave. Thought I would share something similar to that German knife with interchangeable blades. It's made by Case. It's called the XX-Changer. You can get it in different materials and with anything from saw to filet blades. Haven't tried it personally but seems real nice and made in the USA. Maybe not common man but could be common sense.

[@Ka666Boom]

love the videos idea and how you do it.
