Equipment List Discussion for Pathfinder Basics

[@Shannon_Lacey]

The new stainless stove top for the Pathfinder water bottle is even better than I imagined it would be. I thought it was just going to be a stainless version of the ring, but this is even better. Thanks for listening to folks regarding product improvement suggestions. I appreciate that.

[@YankeeWoodcraft]

That's my exact MOLLE II Assault Pack set-up. Canteen on the left, 200RD SAW pouch on the right for my USGI Mess Kit, Waist Pack underneath with my shelter & USGI Poncho (soon to hold a Woobie too). It took me a year to get it all in Woodland Camo. Super comfortable and great for high speed movement. Just can't beat USGI quality for the money.

[@bryanfaulkenburg462]

I use that headlamp at work. I have used it for 3 years daily. Hands down the best headlamp I have used.

[@dhession64]

Mr. Canterbury, Holy Cow, dude. Talk about a whole bunch of info in a short period of time. This doesn't surprise me anymore but I had to say something about it after watching at least 30-40 of your videos. I can only assume you've been at this for a long time (instruction and teaching) to have your "spiel" down so cold, with very few pauses and vocal fillers, to be so organized and efficient with what you say and the order in which you say it. I'm a cheap bastard so I very much depend on KZbin and my own experiences, limited though they may be, to learn MORE bushcraft and get tips on gear. I hope to someday take one or more of your classes, though there are so many others (Thunder Ranch, Patriot Nurse, etc) I wish to take as well so I need to do be frugal. Just keep doing what you're doing (like you aren't, right?) and PLEASE keep making videos. Your service to the rest of the cheap bastards is very much appreciated. Thank you.

[@thomasandersen2534]

My little brother is autistic. He teaches me something new everyday. Thanks for the video keep them coming!

[@gman77gas]

Dry Bags are excellent to own. We use them on the boat during SCUBA dive trips. Keeps what you want dry, dry...

[@CitizenUnpluged]

Yet another awesome vid Dave - thanks. FWIW, I've found having my First - Line Kit ( knife, water bottle with canteen, maxpedition M2 waist pack with combustion, first aid, nav, survival blanket, cutting tools, light, trapping gear inside) on my belt reassuring. I keep hydrated as water bottle is easy to access and if I was to lose my pack - river crossing gone wrong - I will still get out of the bush down here in NZ alive. Cheers.

[@malaihiboi]

Its been a while since I checked out your online store Dave. The new layout looks awesome! 100% easier to navigate, and some awesome new product. Thanks man.

[@VladVenev]

This is great entry-level video. With compilation of what is needed not only for this course, but in majority.

[@MrEvilWasp]

Excellent top tier advice - This guys knowledge is so good i did the holy trinity just from this video - Liked, Favorited and Subscribed. He talks fast so i would urge you to watch this vid several times over because it is packed with information between the bullet points you might otherwise miss. Peace

[@ericathompsen8110]

I got to tell you I enjoyed the video and I've been a fan of yours since dual survival you're amazing keep doing what you're doing you're awesome.

[@SirBoot32]

You are well spoken and very informative. Thanks for all you do.

[@Kirakat]

Hello Dave, You should set up a 72 hour Survival kit that would be sold on the website. It should be a low enough price that the normal man can buy it. Good enough that you'd trust going out with it for 3 days. I'm building a 1 week pack right now And It's so hard to find good brands/ good stuff to fill the pack while staying within a normal price range.

[@kullcraven]

Very nice equipment list, You covered everything you need. I tend to do the same when i go out, just what i need for the trip and multiuse. I'm still wondering what surplus blanket i got, if it even is wool lol. I'm noy june 5th vid you can see it. If you know let me know bro, thanks

[@frankgon4]

Really like that water bottle. Interested in when it would be released for sale.

[@palexanderrice]

hey dave, can you make a video on what you consider the best way to pack a pack

[@MetatronsPubes]

They sell it at any bank like Wells Fargo, Chase, etc.. It's used to tie bundles of money larger than 10,000 amounts for transport. You just have to ask the bank teller for it usually.

[@YaddaYaddaWarden]

Dave, I know that knives made with 1095 and O1 steels will throw sparks when hit with a piece of flint. Will a knife made from A2 steel also throw sparks when hit with flint? I'm excited about the stove set-up for the Kleen Kanteen water bottles! How long before they will be available?

[@thel1zardking]

Hey Dave, I've been able to start fires with my MC2-G using char cloth. I'm sure the extra sunshine here in AZ helps. Thanks for the vids brother!

[@brenka4572]

Hi Dave or anyone that has done a class: Is it outdoor camping bring the time we are there for a basic class? Do we bring a cooler with food and drink for the entire time? Thanks so much for all you do.

[@Theantichrist9Tails]

Thanks Dave for the video. I do some hiking and I do a lot of urban exploring and I was wondering how much is this kit's weigh out and is there a way to lower some weight on some of that gear without severely lowering the quality of the gear. BTW I have most of that kit.

[@jaxboonie]

just bought one of the little magnifying glasses...works great and is good quality,not cheap plastic.

[@Gia_Mc_Fia]

Hey dave :) What do you think about putting some mosquito netting in there too. Love the video! Thanks so much for the great info

[@bigjake1965]

Hey Dave what is your thoughts on knife sharpeners with plastic handles that have a honer and a sharpener in a V configuration...I've never been able to any sharpening stones.

[@eatmorenachos]

I love getting lost (to a point) it's a good way to find new places and things! Get lost in the woods for a an hour or two and have a great day.

[@Patriot36]

Dave, can you give us a rough idea of what that kit weighs. It doesn't matter to me if it's "light" or "heavy" I'm just curious what it comes in at before water or food. Thanks brother.

[@coolkat10001]

Why the emphasis for Gorilla duct tape over regular duct tape? Great vid Dave!

[@ClaudeWhitmyer]

You had a cloth sail needle taped to the mora sheath, but I didn't hear it mentioned. Did I miss that? Or is it not neede in the beginner class?

[@catalystman]

Hey Dave, hoping to take the basic class in October. Will the pathfinder SS bottle with the new pack stove be available for purchase before then? Thanks!

[@killamenjaro60]

Hey Dave do you approve of carrying a Gerber multi-tool? I really like them compared to a Leatherman. Also i know more about them.

[@UKfamilyprepper]

Another Great Video Dave, answered many questions, Thanks

[@MrLashaKobi]

Dave bro, I've got this stainless steel mora bushcraft and I also bought a lansky sharpener rod but I can't sharpen it as sharp as I want it to be...am I doing something wrong or is it just about the stainless steel?

[@popswrench2]

LIKE the bottle stove ; i modified the old perforated stuff oval and similar . but this one much better , hope you have it separate . will replace ours .

[@wyattoneable]

I always learn a lot here, thanks again Dave.

[@logibearkyt5691]

Excellent info again ,this Channel is Bigger the DiscoveryCh already & Quality without the bullshit & ads

[@asudebate3009]

If you want a great, cheap bushcraft knife. Get a Mora. The Mora Robust is $15 and has a 3/4 tang, scandi grind, and thick blade.

[@theuncreditedworks]

I’m curious Dave, what everyday-wear waterproof boots have you been wearing this spring and summer? In the past I’ve seen you recommend Muck boots(for a rubber type boot) and Danner Pronghorns…

[@Outlawme1990]

hi dave love the butcher knife on the store site but having trouble sharpening with a stone. any help?

[@EatCarbs]

Seems pretty straight forward. I have to ask though.. out of curiosity.. has anyone brought anything really surprising to class?

[@Skills2survive]

Bass Pro, Cabelas, Fishing shop, Walmart (but I think they stopped carrying the tarred version)

[@survival919]

why did you stop using the silva ranger compass?

[@krodd24]

Will you be doing videos for the scout/intermediate or advanced classes?

[@crill777]

Dave, which knife do you carry most of the time: the PLSK1 or Scout? Any why? Thanks!

[@elpadrino1024]

Dave whats the story with the new puzzle piece?

[@kevinjameson8011]

Greg, I've been rockin a military grade ALICE pack for a few years. Picked up the whole pack for less than $50 at surplus. FYI

[@woose441]

could you recomend a good knife for woodworking and for cleaning fish?

[@tomkelsch]

How much is the new stove going to cost?

[@SIOSpawn]

I have all this stuff, just waiting on saving up enough money to go to a class, been saving since the class was $300 :/ in do time, i can hardly wait.

[@Beasthornen]

Good stuff. The more I watch the more I become interested in checking out a class.

[@picklestamps69]

I love watching ur videos keep it up brother

[@Aleeeeeeek]

Hey dave, i am new in the outdoor community and want to become more self reliant, any tips and or books/places to get started? Thanks a lot.

[@Outlawme1990]

Hi dave what types of clothes should I bring?

[@megamiddie21]

hey dave, would you recommend a plastic canteen if i have a stainless steel canteen cup?? thanks

[@Jhenao23]

Dave most of my food containers are tin. I've heard some rumors that tin is toxic and bad for you health. Do you recommend I continue to use tin containers.

[@atsp18]

wow the new pot stands looking good!

[@hort590]

Where can you buy bankline?

[@robangelakids]

Dave keep the beard short, you look 10 years younger. Thanks for another great video.

[@Akformeplease]

what back pack would you recommend I have been looking for a while and cant find one that is reasonably priced to fit the gear any help would be great thanks

[@GoodJob7117]

hi, Dave, do you deliver your products to Canada?

[@Freddy7997]

Hey Dave, greetings from Germany... Is the Lapländer Saw a good piece of equipment ?

[@griffendumbledore5807]

Dave how do i sign up........ and i have another question if you respond to this i will ask you

[@ak47citizensoldier]

i efing love that usgi assault pack useing it right now

[@koregaming123]

do you deliver your products to England ?

[@tomkelsch]

When do you think that's stove will hit the store?

[@TedsOutdoors]

I hope to join you out there one day...

[@MDwanabeePREPPER]

is it a requirement to do the basic before the the advanced class, its a long drive

[@sargefaria]

NP....hope to be back soon bro

[@nicholasspychalski9805]

As a cutting tool, what do you think of the khukuri?

[@Mast3rDan]

Would you ever consider doing a class abroad?, say in Canada?

[@saltydogsays]

go to thepathfinderstore and then click on class schedule !!

[@js55306]

When is that new stove going to be available?

[@nikosfilipino]

@killerkrow23 I dont recall the kbar being carob steel

[@hohoangel11]

Kat kira nice commet you made and I think we do need a 74 hours pack

[@57unreal]

good video Dave !

[@shadowflight762]

Great info as always Dave. Thank You.

[@ytgm42]

Hi, Dave, what is that pack Exactly...thanks in advance

[@CPLBSS88]

and a long-sleeved shirt that is loose fitting. You may ask why I say long sleeves and pants; just trust me...you will thank me later when you watch those that brought short sleeves and shorts fight with sun burn, bugs, and rash from plants/stings. I really like Carhartt stuf because its affordable and bomb-proof but there are other great manufactures. Bring some rain gear, a good hoodie, I recommend 100% wool. As for material, stick with the duck-canvas and not the cotton, nyco 50/50 or similar

[@KILLERKROW23]

would a kabar be a good blade?

[@AngelMartinez-xl3oi]

can you make a video on how to make a mayla gate trap

[@bsykes]

Thank again Dave.

[@franknpuss]

Nice work on this video, good information.

[@gabedobbs9160]

whats the youngest students you will take

[@Kastaghier1]

Hi Mr. Dave, agree with the others about the beard. Remind me first time i saw you, on YT, running along a trin trail talking about fitness. Short beard, it's way better looking sir. About the stove+canteen etc, i'm sorry but i've "stolen" the design more than 10 years ago. LOL Only the stove it's a bit bigger and a "positive" stove. Multifuel, can burn anything. Can be use to warm a decent size of shelter, undestructible steele. :) Keep going, always a pleasure to see you're videos. :)

[@Flipdaswitch]

Hey Dave i know this sounds pretty stupid, but could you make a quick video or explain how to make fire with the steel wool?i

[@sargefaria]

Nice run down man

[@Khartoum29]

Gees I need to correct my gear list I've been climbing a long time but this gear is a lot better for longevity.

[@kinghoju]

I think he's made about a hundred of those--check around on his channel.

[@thecma3]

I think the biggest thing is that it's flammable.

[@brshover]

you showed that pack and the gear you need, didn't look like much room for clothes

[@shawnwade302]

No wool blankets for me..allergic.

[@xbox360royalbenefits]

th canteen is around 75 bucks? :(

[@senormisfit]

You're the man dave

[@palexanderrice]

website

[@turbofister5000]

Assault pack! Ban it! Someone tell feinstein! Dave, why does anyone need an assault pack with that much capacity? Couldn't you go hiking with a Fanny pack? We need new legislation to limit packs to 2 pockets.

[@rickrunyon5086]

Well this was a couple days ago. 😂😂 . Do you still stand by your words dave? Just wondering. And what would you change now IF anything?

[@richbuilds_com]

Would also like to see all that go back in the pack :-)

[@Jeremy09jm]

make a video on how useful duct tape is

[@stephenrichardson5237]

Dave did you check out my common man woodburning stove I made the vids on my channel

[@griffendumbledore5807]

Dave how do i sign up im 12 and i have a really cool b.o.b. bag ?

[@SpaceManSpiff20001]

Sweet vid, thanks for this.
