[@grcunning]

Over the last couple of years, your transformation from "how to start a fire" woodsman, to a true teacher has been nothing short of incredible. Please don't stop teaching frontiersman survival stuff. It's why I come back again and again. Peace Brother, Gary

[@GLOCKCOPG23]

Dave, you are definitely the most "versatile" outdoorsman on KZbin. Thank you so much for all of the different techniques and different aspects of "modern" and "old" that you teach. My 9 year old son fully admires you and he wanted me to tell you so. He said when he grows up he want to be like Dave Canteberry. I was almost insulted. Hahaha! You were born in the wrong century, brother. Good thing for your fans that you were not. Keep up the good work, my man.

[@wyattoneable]

Hello again Dave. I don't always get to practice the things you teach but it's still a learning experiance everytime I come by. I know you hear this a lot, but I wanted to add my "thank you" for being here and allowing us to become students of all things concerning basic living and self reliance..

[@tcemedic100]

I learn something every time I watch Daves' videos. Outstanding..

[@stephensgate1]

Dave, that was very educational. Thank you for taking the time to share it with us. Your an excellent teacher. Stephen, Ohio

[@nuckkingfuts]

Love listening to the history , thanks for sharing Dave . Great video...

[@1950cappie]

I had forgotten how much I used to love researching the accounts of early settlers while following my Revolutionary War ancestors along the Ohio river. Thanks for reigniting that ember.

[@mirvha714]

Great video as usual Dave, concise, to the point, and very informative. Keep it up brother

[@GTC1967]

Well thought out and presented video! Nice job, Dave, one of your best yet.

[@badvoodoodaddy1]

Dave your insight and research on these subjects are great info. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge Brother!

[@jed5912]

Don't want to seem like I am nitpickin but it is said "Smooth Rifle", and I would like to say that the smooth bore was considered the gun of choice for the frontiersman. And I use one for most of my hunting. I use a trade musket, and I enjoy it very much. I don't know if you remember but I was the guy who asked you about making "Swan Shot", I'm still working out how it was made but when I do I'll let you know how.

[@galenlong3005]

Excellent Lesson Dave, great demonstration, and very effective.

[@DonnyB]

Another great video Dave, thank you for the instruction. Keep the vids comin, I am never ceasing to learn something new.

[@goriverman]

I love watching your video's, i always learn from them. Amazing piece of history too, fasinating

[@platefullofbacon]

Absolutely Fascinating video Dave! Excellent History Lesson! & Gosh, that sure was interesting how you managed to make fire with that weapon!

[@Shannon_Lacey]

I like these perspectives on history, with real figures. Thanks.

[@countrycarey]

love the flintlock series.keep em coming.

[@WanderingTheWild]

fantastic demonstration Dave! Very interesting stuff

[@FISHBREATHH]

Really like the history and the demonstration. thanks

[@FacetsOfTruth]

Great video Dave. Very well done.

[@Waldhandwerk]

Cool method for ember/fire making. Thanks for showing.

[@jimsehub]

Dave, Did you pull your video regarding the H&R 50 cal muzzle loader. I could have swore I watched that within the last week or so. Thanks for all you do, brother!! Jim

[@tomritter493]

thank god were not losing the old ways though ppl like yourself and living history ppl sarge is a good source to keep it up m friend

[@Pokedexknows9]

It depends on what you want to do with it and where you live. I recommend, becker bk2, any mora knives, esee 5 and blind horse knives. Most of these are personal preference but are good all around survival knives.

[@mikejones6898]

hi when i was 8 or 9, an old timer told me that fungus growing from a fallen tree in the shape of an ear yellow or orange in coller was the best fire starting stuff there was.. i thought he was crazzy becouse it was so wet, it could not be burnt.. but now i know that when dry and crumbled it is the best for creating a hot cole with little sparks..

[@woodlandsurvivor]

Great video Dave, would this method work with quarts if flint was unavailable? Keep it up

[@Weaselnest]

hey dave, if we're talking about smooth bore flint locks, what size barrel is gonna give you the most versatility, from shooting a ball, to small pebbles if need be? i dont know what caliber a 20ga would be equivalent to, or larger than a 50 cal rifle or there abouts.

[@apkpicker]

Gorgeous gun, Dave. Thanks for the good info.

[@woodlandsurvivor]

Great video Dave, Could that method also work with quartz or a stone that can make sparks if flint's unavailable? -keep up the good work

[@guylo88]

Dave do you have any reading suggestions for the early frontiersmen? I majored in history and was fortunate enough to learn about the Louis and Clark expedition and assigned there diary, but other than I did not learn much else. I love Daniel Boone, Learned about the early frontiersmen of Chicago, but not much else.

[@sniper0614ify]

Thank you for showing us this your very smart keep up the good work

[@woodweezel]

Dang Dave. You are right. There was no hang time on that shot. It was right now. Gret info. Thanks..

[@RedBayDog]

Dave, This just dawned on me, if James Smith was not taught by the Indians how to make a friction fire just to use flint and steel, then how did the Indians make a fire before contact with Europe ?? Riddle me that ma' good man, lol... I love your videos and I THANK YOU for what you do for me in my never ending quest for knowledge...

[@Cryingwolf81r]

Dave do you have any videos about frontier style surefire? I saw a video with Keith Burgess in australia where he made a sulfur match that was really interesting. Do you have any ideas on this? I am aware of fat wood and pine pitch. But what else can I use?

[@fredfreiberger7878]

thanks dave i learn alot from you and also thing more i once used a strng activated fire work to start afireand easy on the powder use when doing it w/ the method i mentioned i burnt my self too so i learned alot haha

[@daj28479]

Dave, great video. What is your bumper music, never heard it and I love it.

[@mickeyauthement6898]

Question: With the adapter converting a modern day shot gun to 209 black powder is it possible, taking the pressure created into account, to shoot anything other than shot from them such as ball, or a more conical projectile?

[@justinnesfeder]

Dave im having a little trouble on deciding which knife to pick for my sirvival pack

[@tomkelsch]

Wow my post complimenting you Mr Canterbury on how you did the same thing on Dual survival got deleted.

[@writeinfosetup]

Hey dave, I was just curious what your thoughts are on the possible collapse of the dollar, and if you have done a video/or plan to do a video about what types of financial survival techniques people can use on a micro economic level to protect themselves.

[@EatCarbs]

Wow.. that's pretty cool.. Thanks for the video Dave!

[@1LONGHUNTER100]

Dave,is that a Pedersoli? Great video,keep up the good work.

[@TheBudgettactical]

hey Dave what happened to cabin fever series? Love the videos keep it up.

[@KyHunter0714]

Great Vid! Love the history.

[@bc46488]

HANDSOME GUN MY FRIEND! GREAT HISTORY!

[@crazyheatrocker]

Hey Dave did you build that rifle or did you buy it. Id love to have a rifle like that

[@DudeNumberOnePlus]

How much flint strikes the frizzen can take before it needs to be replaced?

[@TheDeskBombs]

very nice video dave!

[@bandido776]

Always Great stuff . Thank you.

[@valerieedenW]

Absolutely true, which is why we were practicing. Wish we could come to your class, but we are a ways away from you. Learning a lot, thanks for all the videos. (a mom) :o)

[@PrimalEdge]

great video Dave! Thanks!

[@_Schwartz]

Great video

[@MrPatriotOne]

There was an old lad, who traded guns with the Indians. As time went on, he saw an Indian repairing the lock on his musket. He declared, that he had created the devil True story from my library When all center fires run out of steam, that flinter will still keep rolling Nice flintlock, and great ignition

[@CZ-BO-HUNK]

Is there a book about him or did he write it, if so what is the name of it.

[@YaddaYaddaWarden]

Being able to light your fire makes the flintlock an extremely versitile firearm. Many people don't realize that even well into the percussion cap firearm era many mountain men of the west preferred flintlock to caplock firearms. If black powder gets wet, you can dry it out and it will still work. If you get percussion caps wet, they are dead. With a flintlock a mountian man could be much more sure of having a useable firearm.

[@catfishalex43]

What's the name of the song you have in the intro ? Great vid by the way

[@woose441]

is there a book about james smith?

[@nerblebun]

Apparently Mr.Smith didn't have a very good sense of direction.

[@OutdoorJunkie1992]

Is there a book on this Dave?

[@RedBayDog]

I am reduced to dancing and hollering all night myself.. lol

[@maritimespook]

great stuff brother!!

[@hazmatops]

Is it possible to unload a flintlock?

[@jsobo11]

What is that song at the beginning of the video

[@Brian-yw7yd]

What song is playing in the beginning of the video?

[@cammie500]

what lamp is that in the shelter?

[@ArtisanTony]

Cool!

[@beefbelly]

What camera do you use?

[@terrysmith3051]

yes great video. Some day I may try fire with my Trades Mucket also 62 cal or 20ga.

[@bowdog62010]

Old hickory butcher knife, buy on line at Ace hardware for about 12 dollars shipping to your house is about 9 dollars buy 2 2 is one and one is none. I bought 2 different styles and am making kydex sheaths for them.

[@mountainwalk1169]

Who makes your hat

[@alaskankare]

Great video Dave. Now I have to research Indians taking captives. I don't understand why they would take them into their group, and then I don't understand, why the person would stay. Especially when they would go on hunting parties. I would just use that opportunity to escape.

[@ParrotEater]

that damn fly!

[@justinnesfeder]

Can anyone tell me a good survival knife to have

[@alaskankare]

Maybe it was Stockholm Syndrome. Such a strange reaction to not only take in the child of the people you killed, but then for the child to in turn stay with the people who killed their parents. I wonder if the frontier people did this as well? Thanks again for the great videos. I'm anxious for the snow to finally melt so that I can try to find items in Alaska that can stand in for the trees and rocks you have in Ohio.

[@DudeNumberOnePlus]

Grass is hard to lit. Try fine strips of birch bark for starters, its so easy it feels like cheating.

[@chrisodle6949]

you do know that they made a pistol that did not or could not fire a shout. it had a long wick that folded up inside it and was just used to start fire and by the way is worth bepending on condishion 1000 to 4500

[@valerieedenW]

So after weeks of gathering survival equipment, making a B.O.B. and thoroughly enjoying a plethora of fire starting videos, tonight my 17 yr old son and I challenged ourselves to a 1 minute fire. Equipped with a glob of pine sap from the oozing side of a tree nested into a bunch of very dry grass, we spent the next 15 minutes throwing sparks that did nothing. BIG sparks... what could be wrong? We finally got a match, lit the thing up in a split second and sat there shaking our heads.

[@tomkelsch]

Nice

[@sgthl]

KZbin has gone insane, first 3 times i tried to watch this video youtube claimed the video to be 1:12 long and at that time it abruptly ended. Finally it shows the full 12:44 and lets me watch the whole thing.

[@flyvet46]

great video dave it makes me want to break my rifle out i love the smell of black powder and there are a lot fun to shoot. again great video keep your powder dry and your eye along the skyline

[@1949RL]

No delay on that shot.

[@SESAME4ND1]

You need to shave Mr.Canterbury!

[@tmay0504]

I wish one day I will have a beard like that haha

[@digital4282]

I couldn't help but try to swat that fly at 9:04 lol

[@jorgamund07]

Messing with your wife's wedding ring usually *lowers* your odds of survival, in any situation!

[@DudeNumberOnePlus]

Well, thanks. I expected it to be hundreds.

[@samlan3637]

Bad Ass

[@weetoddtv]

6:27 instead of "buck and Ball loads" i thought you said something else..

[@Just1nFR]

You saturated the grass and didn't have fine enough fibers most likely. Use the pine resin to extend the duration of flame, not to create the flame. No expert just have done the same thing.

[@badmojo420]

Now I want a flintlock rifle :(
