Probably my biggest mentor in woodsman knowledge in my life Thank you for all you do and your service Dave !

[@BrianRoosa]

Love how snow doesn't stop filming day

[@backwoodsbrooksknives4625]

It is always nice to see lashings being demonstrated on video. I have looked at this same lashing multiple times in D.C. Beard's Field And Forest Handbook and it never made much sense. It is probably because I never actually wanted to use it, I was just browsing the knot section.

[@builderbear6618]

Great improvised back set up. Thanks for sharing. I always watch the poisonous KZbin ads on your ads. Best I can do to support you beyond a thank you. I love your knot videos and am also glad to see you were brave enough to share the knowledge on trapping even though it would bring heat from society. Crazy to me how people are okay with infanticide but trapping is an issue. God bless

[@HamsterPants522]

That is freakin cool, man.

[@bigbear9439]

Awesome video thanks for all the great advice you give. I am also the proud owner of your books read a little bit every day. Thank you for sharing all your great knowledge.

[@adriannewton6688]

I have not seen this technique since my metal work teacher showed it to be me, 40+yrs ago. Take a rod of steel, hit it constantly on the anvil with a large hammer, and it will heat up to the extent you can use it to light tinder. Thought it was magic when I saw it when I was 15yrs old.

[@RatdogDRB]

Neat and tidy. Anything truly genius, has simplicity.

[@richardmarsh9257]

I have learned and relearned so much since following your channel. Thanks for sharing your survival and woodsman knowledge with us all.

[@williamrobinson4265]

dave you have to be one of the leading practical researches in frame packs - I think its one of your greatest contributions thank you

[@WisdomInTheWoods]

Damn Dave you’re getting buff! Thanks for all the teaching!

[@papaschuette]

Just more awesome knowledge for my mental toolbox. Thanks for sharing.

[@chrissonik]

Gosh darn, never ceases to impress me! I can't wait to get out there and take some pathfinder courses!

[@maxr236]

Love the the knot vids, Thanks Dave

[@johnburgin7478]

Outstanding. Learning more knots and lashes is always helpful. Thanks

[@Flashahol]

Excellent knot demo. Now I just have to practice it 100 times so i can reproduce it in the field next summer.

[@lisawagner421]

Caught this on TikTok. Very cool. I saved it on here as well. Thanks!!

[@DavidCanterbury]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@jamesgroves5294]

[@kongandbasses8732]

Another real helpfull tip. Thanks a lot for this!

[@JamesGOutdoors]

It amazes me how much great knowledge you know thanks brother.

[@Lucasalastuey]

Great video like always

[@shaunlloyd5724]

Wow, that’s cool AF. I just got my bedroll cooker, thank you!

[@SaintRegime]

If you've got a heavier load, and it's pinching your neck, tie up your upper rung knot so the straps have two inches of space between where they stretch out from the pack. Knots will vary based on your material. That'll reduce the pinching.

[@Misanti888]

Awesome, sir! Stay safe...

[@Hummingbird-ns1fp]

Mule tape makes amazing rope! Rated from 1250 to 6000 lbs it’s not gonna break. Overkill for this, but I thought I’d share. (I love knots) Walmart has 600’ of 5/8” unmarked white 1,600 lb rated mule tape/pull rope for $49.99 with free shipping. They have an assortment. I found out about it from a lineman friend. I use it for tarp lines and webbing chairs. It’s soft on skin. It’s polyester so it’s waterproof and you just melt the cut ends, you could use it as an elephant leash! 😂 Made in the USA. You can often find it on eBay, but I was happily surprised to find it on WM online. I like unmarked best, but it doesn’t really matter. Just sharing in case others don’t know about this. Happy lashing!

[@Gunny-nq1pb]

Thanks David

[@filhipp9260]

Wow, that's amazing

[@donaldeugenealford4080]

[@benchacon4983]

Wow that’s cool and as heck!

[@Chevrolet1994]

Great video Dave

[@DavidCanterbury]

Thanks for the visit

[@Chevrolet1994]

@@DavidCanterbury I watch all your videos have for years, and have purchased from your website a few times, keep up the good work!

[@josephmountford2292]

Well done

[@hitman4u222]

Yep. Very cool

[@uncletomscabin2073]

Been watching a lot of the older stuff. Just wondering how the Flex seal on the bottom of the canvas bag went over time. Think that video is 5 years ago now. Or if anyone else tried it.

[@herbsmith6871]

Good stuff 🤠

[@Gunny-nq1pb]

Hey! That's my line. lol

[@michaelchurch1592]

That is some more great stuff!!🇺🇸

[@SK-qc6fb]

Looks Good, cant help but wonder if Dave and Corporal scour the boy scout websites for many of these tips...one suggestion, if using rope is create a Monkey Braid for each side of the strap, distribute the load a little better. Diamond hitch is one of my favorite knots! Thanks for showing! Also, I find it helpful to tie a block and tackle...truckers hitch to finish it off.

[@evantemple4341]

Old seat belts make great straps

[@hiddenwoodsben]

wow, that'd be perfect for my ötzi-frame!

[@RustyGunn7]

Otzi the ice man? Now THAT is old school. Cool stuff.

[@WyomingOutofDoors]

Good video friend

[@valuepurposemission7517]

love your stuff brother .... but i keep waiting for ben the bear to come sit next to you while your talking lol . keep up the great content.

[@brianhetrick1301]

I really like this. I am curious if it essential to go under the center line of the diamond or is it just more secure. Just thinking in terms of time, it would be faster to go over top, but is the time worth it to avoid collapse down the trail.

[@nathanyazzie9044]

Cool!! 👍👍👍

[@nutthrower4415]

Say Dave, do you have a vid on making a frame as you have there? Just wondering, thanks

[@josiahovick1209]

What is the warmest wool blanket that is readily accessible

[@wadedog4280]

Do you have any videos on fishing?

[@Kitiwake]

Your a strong looking man.

[@datnotme9921]

👍👀

[@scottymoore5706]

What jacket donyou have on in this video love want one

[@sdr22630]

This is great. But I have to learn how to make the pack frame first. 😉

[@jwatson15]

Dave looks like camo Santa.

[@Sir.Leonardo.Scherer]

Honest question here, isn't that overcomplicating it? Are there simpler ways to do it?

[@GUNSLINGEROUTDOORS]

👊🇺🇲🤠

[@ToadrixAce]

[@joelarson3528]

Doesn’t look like 550 cord

[@mattwatts4672]

Dave, will you be my dad?
