I've been watching you for 7 years. You finally tried the ultralight gear! I knew, if I was patient, the day would come! Soo happy for you Mr. Dave. The older I get, the lighter my pack gets. When it is that light, we can keep it with us all the time. My edc bag has everything needed for a comfortable overnight anywhere. Thanks for sharing your gear progression.

[@Dreoilin]

Every man is not the same, and yet every man is a man. Our choices for gear may differ but our reason to go outside is the same!

[@LostLoon]

Dreoilín ÓCoigligh hey! Nicely put sir

[@stevegilette9606]

As an ultralight hiker I'd like to make a couple comments. 1) If you keep an electronics bag you pull it into you bag/quilt to keep the batteries from draining. 2) Put your phone on "Airplane Mode" when you can. The GPS will stay active for maps and all other apps are essentially killed. Your battery will last infinitely longer. 3) Leave a small gap at the edge of your tarp for draft unless it's pouring rain sideways. DCF will consensate just like plastic otherwise. 4) For Thermarest style valves a pack liner can be used as a Schnozle Bag by taking a SmartWater Bottle Sport Cap, pushing out the blue nipple, add a hose washer after you cut the bottle threads off of the bottle. Sandwich the pack liner over the male threads, the add the hose washer on top of the liner, after which you screw on the Sport Cap. Cut the trapped packliner following the hosewasher circumference. 5) There's a principle in physics. If you blow into a large area the central air being forced will pull tge surrounding air with it. Basically a quick, breath into a wide open Schnozle bag will fill it up 2-3 Xs faster than just blowing air into it. Just hold your face back from the wide opening several inches and blow. It's counter intuitive but it does work. You can fill that sleeping pad in 1/2 the time.

[@eloyrodriguez6460]

My head is gonna explode!! Mr. David Canterbury sleeping on an air mattress. Freaking Outstanding video👍👍

[@wildernessfieldjournal8211]

Great to show the setup and tear down of this equipment in detail, it really helps to see what it's like to live with it in the woods. I've really been enjoying this series, I think I might make a similar kit "in the shadow of Canterbury".

[@shadomane]

The more I watch this series and the diversity in choices of gear the less I feel like the "odd-man out". I'm truly enjoying following this series and getting to see the choices you're making in gear and the testing/applications. Thanks again for sharing and putting in the time, work and research.

[@slickydicky]

I'm not gonna lie dave it was quite strange seeing you use a backpack stove lol. I'm thoroughly enjoying this series so far

[@DavidCanterbury]

Ha!

[@shootermcmillan]

I own and use that stove.....are there better ones, yeah. But this one is 1 oz. and costs about $12. As long as you realize that it's a boiler and if you try to do anything else with it you'll be eating scorched whatever......it's a winner! I love mine. I have others that get used for actually cooking things. When going lite, I plan my meals according to the cook system...instant oatmel, precooked bacon, Those Idahoan potatoes come in some pre-seasoned flavors that are outstanding You can manage a rice side with that stove head if you pay attention but i find that minute rice with my own seasoning is easier. Use a ziplock FREEZER bag , it will stand up to the scolding water.

[@paulhutchings7527]

I don't normally comment on videos, however I appreciate this series you're doing. I enjoy both backpacking and bushcraft and had two complete different setups to do both. I am not a weight weenie but if you've hiked more than 15 miles in a day with a heavy pack you soon realize it's best to shave weight where and when you can. It never occurred to me that I could blend my two favorite outdoor activities together. Love this series Dave!

[@bahamajim1998]

Funny how it started as day hikes to lose weight. Then overnighters . Now I'm loving the Bush craft aspect of it . It just beats being on the couch all the time! Great video man . Been digging the tarps lately

[@tracyplemmons6474]

Hi Dave. I have been a fan of yours since dual survival. After that I have watched every video of yours I can find. You have taught me a lot through them. So. Thank you!! I would love to take your course one day and meet you. Take care of yourself and stay safe

[@DavidCanterbury]

Thanks brother

[@kassonsalvador3650]

Awesome series! I’ve been incorporating bushcraft into my ultralight backpacking setup and vice-versa for going on 2 years now and I love it! Cool to see one of the masters doing the same!

[@ROMAN138]

Got to admit that is one of the niftyest tarp setups I have seen. The vid was great but the tarp was awesome.

[@andremackay8565]

Awesome video in a great series, I could feel myself out there and can’t wait to camp again. All great examples of how to use modern gear, not too much talking and no bullshit. Love your work ,keep it up.

[@johnnyonthetrail629]

great series, so strange to see you using a backpacking stove and not having a fire. Great information over this whole series, you have so much knowledge and I appreciate you sharing.

[@cmliphone]

I really like this series, Dave. I enjoyed your Longhunter series and the old style and heavy-duty gear, but the way you're approaching the ultralight gear is an interesting evolution. It's really nice seeing you still wanting to learn! It's a great lesson for your students and fans that learning never ends. What size water bottle did you use and what bottle holder were you using? Never seen one attach to the pack straps. Thanks

[@MrGlobalTransport]

This is a phenomenal series, while I have a deep respect and need to learn the traditional ways and keep it as something to fall back on, I choose modern equipment any chance I get. In my opinion it’s the best way to “smooth it” when I’m in the woods by choice. I liked seeing how it all packed up at the end and really look forward to the videos that will go into detail on some of the stuff you showed.

[@DavidCanterbury]

This video is only a testing phase video for the Ultralight camp set up I am going with in the series, I have tested this prior last weekend a 19 degrees it was only around freezing last night. However the kit for this was discussed I believe in Part 3 and more follow up will come on individual micro kits like cooking etc in videos to come. Really did'nt need to film this I guess just thought it would be good to show the overnight and some of the kit like the air mattress a bit closer up as well as speak to the Titanium I am working on. Thank for watching-

[@PavlovsBob]

What was the weight of your loaded pack? Looked very light.

[@DavidCanterbury]

21 Lbs with 3 Days food and 1 ltr of Water

[@mattalbright180]

Is the titanium on your amazon page the stuff used in video? I was looking for a bottle and nesting cup... looks like it's worth a shot for that price.

[@DavidCanterbury]

It is from the same manufacturer I am working with under another label yes so it should be essentially the same

[@stevog44]

So dave, how are you liking some of this lightweight gear versus the leather, steal and canvas? Carrying the stuff should be better, but what about it’s convenience, ease of use and comfort of your newer kit. I like this series and have been working to find the balance myself. Nice work and thank you sir👊🏻

[@kevinray7237]

Dave i have followed you for years and i won't stop now,thank you Brother as always for all you do for the people

[@macgyver4269]

I live down in Lawrence county. I need to make it up there to attend some of your classes. I enjoy watching you videos they are very relaxing and helpful. Thank you for all you do.

[@landonashby2029]

With those light weight tarps, I've never folded or rolled them. Always just crammed em which ever way into the stuff sack. It prolongs the life of them so your not getting wear points from repeatedly being folded in the same spot. Really liking this setup though.

[@noahrucker9012]

Dave ur tha man , i been a huge fan since we found you on dual survival way back when !! Im gonna make it to one of your classes bro even if its the last thing i do!!

[@krishoogstraat6866]

Dave I am really enjoying this series. So much so that I got Nessmuk Woodcraft and Camping. I wanted to better understand exactly what you were saying about his thoughts and gear. Good Book and makes watching this series even better for me. So thank you for sparking that interest in me. That is only the second book I have read cover to cover in my whole life. Thank you again.

[@smd482000]

Dave I started the A.T.back in Jan of this yr I didn.t finnsh I will next year I had lighten up I sent my pathfinder s.s.canteen set home I bought a Tatum pot I had the spoon the pot if cooking it stir a lot you ought see those kids blow those mats with those bellows we slow lol I M enjoying. This bunch of vid s steve

[@1990westfalia]

Dave, I think it’s great that you’re trying the ultra light weight camping techniques. Three things. The long handled spoon Is my favorite and I use it all the time. You’ll like how the shiny spoon end feels in the mouth. Second, You’ve always said that getting a great neighbor sleep is key to enjoying the outdoors, using a nice thick pad a pillow only will help that. It’s 8 hours or the day. Lastly, you’re seeing that having a light pack doesn’t effect the comfort of the overnight or the hike. Keep the videos coming. Skillet

[@robertevans8024]

Hi Dave! I'm a new subscriber. But I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoyed your work on Dual Survival. You were my favorite of ALL the episodes. Not to take away what others have accomplished. But you stood out by far on so many levels. I became interested in Bushcraft and Emergency Preparedness thanks to you. I live in Philly and would love to meet you someday. I am interested in learning more about your survival school. Wish I could spend a night or two camping with you. It would truly be an honor. I have always loved the outdoors. As a teen my friends and I would go camping in the Poconos. In high school I did a course in West Virginia. It was a 30 day stress challenge course called " Project Alive". We went mountain climbing on Seneca Rocks, explored two different caves, did a solo of 3 days by myself, hiked 15-20 miles per day with about 40-50 pounds in our back packs and drank water from the springs we found along the way. Best time I ever had. I didn't want to go home. Good luck and best wishes with all your endeavors. Bob. 🕊️🙏👍♥️🇺🇸🦅 PS: Ever get the skunk smell out of your hat ? 🤮🤣 Have a wonderful Thanksgiving 🦃and Christmas 🎅🤶🎄☃️❄️♥️

[@wildernessscoutcraft4822]

Those Exped mattresses are fantastic - I've used them for years and they are the best by a long way.

[@kyliemcwynne]

If only the pricetag didn't induce a heart attack

[@DavidCanterbury]

Look what folks pay for a mattress on their bed brother, this is your bed in the woods, if you spend much time sleeping outdoors that is the attitude you have to have, this thing is as comfortable as my mattress at home maybe even more so-

[@MTwoodsrunner]

Like anything else , takes a bit to work the bugs out of a new system...she'll smooth out after a bit! Been a long time since i woke up to the sound of Blue jays around camp, made me homesick!...thanks for taking us along David!...atb...woods

[@BigRed-oi6ky]

This has been an awesome series thank you

[@corwinchristensen260]

One of the best "gear dumps" that I've seen. One of the biggest tricks is getting it all IN the pack, not taking it out. It's comforting to see that even the pro's have to cram with enthusiasm to get it all in. Also, I'm really interested in the cuban fiber (dyneema?) stuff sacks / dry bags. Would love to learn more about them. One of them might be a useful introduction to CF that would fit in the budget.

[@fullthrottlequad]

i just looked at pt 3&4. i saw them already. i just now saw the teaser. ug i cant wait till God heals me. I dont quit. just a lil cabin fever thats all. happy and think of the SRO team a lot

[@GreatPlainsChaser]

That's an awesome idea on that pump!

[@UncommonNews777]

Can you go back to the original pack that you use to carry when you first started making KZbin videos? The tarp and wool blanket with gear rolled up inside. Weigh that rig and compare it to what you got now.

[@sid35gb]

Long handle spoons are a pro choice for dehydrated/MRE type meals eaten from the bag less washing up and you can have a hot drink at the same time.

[@holgergoehr4668]

How I miss just sleeping on the ground... But now here in Australia there are just too many things that bite or crawl in your sleeping bag..

[@adrockey]

Awesome video! The camera quality is vivid and sound is crisp.

[@gomiftw]

Dave! Please make more videos of bushcraft cooking, I can’t tell you how amazing they are!

[@shineyrocks390]

Congratulations 🎉👏 on Helicon Ambassador recognition and thank you for your service Dave ♥️

[@thebrizzy]

I have the same style ultralight backpacking kit I take except I use a hammock since hunting and bushcrafting is usually away from established tent camp sites. I suspect we’ll be seeing your hammock version at some point. Can’t wait!

[@maxcorder2211]

Enjoyed the video and demonstration. Takes healthy knees.

[@HatchetSurvival]

another great video! i wanna thank you because a while ago, you inspired me to make my own channel. since then, i’ve made my first shelter with heated floors and an oven and cooked a wagyu steak on the woods. thanks!

[@michaelmccoy7429]

I have that titanium spork. I've had it over a year and I love it

[@kyliemcwynne]

I use a wooden one, cause I'm a cheap twat

[@harjupsingh1255]

This series is something that the community has needed to see for a while. I love this crossover. Thank you so much for taking the time to do these videos. My one question is, Mr. Canterbury, for someone who hammock camps (like for those with a back injury) what equipment would you chose to use for this time of year? Thank you in advance!

[@StBernardAcres]

Excellent. Looking forward to the titanium. Looked like s great overnighter!

[@jonesey65244]

That bag method beats the hell outta hyperventilating yourself to the point of dizziness. Take care. Thanks for your efforts. And keep breathin'.

[@jstep100]

Great video sir! I recently got a HG under quilt and love it. Gotta get that top quilt next and loose the heavy military surplus sleeping bag.

[@dwheeler016]

That mattress has to be better than the old G.I. air mattress that was guaranteed to go flat halfway through the night and that thing was cold.

[@DavidCanterbury]

Way better!

[@mrwes100]

dwheeler016 What military pad? Slept under the Cut-V or Hummer.

[@sp10sn]

so much better. I used an exped in place of my issued gear.

[@robertherek4020]

Lol I thought old school military was that worthless roll up mat. No idea what it was made up but bulky and usually couldn't tell the difference between using the pad or just laying on the ground. No protection or comfort what so ever . But damn they made us pack it lol. But that was back when you had HOOTCH halves that you and your battle buddy split to carry lmao. How times have changed.

[@jeff6989]

I like where you are going with the whole Shadow of Nessmuk videos . But I like the old bomb prof tool heavy Dave! I saw all most all of your videos . I used your videos as kind of a school for the outdoors. Every time I go hunting or in the woods I take the 5C's . I can't do overnights on public land in PA but I always prepare to just in case. Thanks for all the great videos you have made for us viewers over the years.

[@victorvasquez2788]

Very Good series!! Lot's of good tips. Take care love your SRO store..

[@ajpain6673]

Great video Dave, really enjoying this series!!

[@River.Rambler]

Nothing can beat the speed of a backpack stove and it is incredibly small and light but for a little more volume and a couple more ounces I prefer a basic folding stick stove every time. When you factor in not bringing the fuel it saves weight in the long run and you can use it indefinitely.

[@ChesapeakeHammockandOutdoors]

I LOVE my minus 10° HG Burrow TQ & Incubator UQ ! I've had them down to -20°F with my Snugpak Thermalon TQ liner inside the TQ as well and was plenty warm. I also just picked up a 20° Econ Burrow through the sale HG just had , so now I've got -10° , 20° & 40° Burrows to get me through fall, deep winter and spring. Next is a 40° Phoenix ¾ length UQ to round out my HG collection lol.

[@wnchillbilly1]

looks like the flyweight camp concept off to a good start : - )

[@nostrings1269]

If I may suggest, tying off the bellows and using it as your pillow.

[@TheKimjoh560]

Would it hold air over time though? I have equipment made out of similiar fabrics, inflatable "beach sofas" or whatever they call them. At one point we thought we could sleep on them in the woods. Woke up on the ground fozen stiff a couple of hours later. They're great but you have to top them off every couple of hours because they slowly leak. Not sure if its the low density fabric or the seal itself.

[@maisetas]

or simply turn waterproof bag inside out, stuff with leaves and its the best pillow you can get

[@RatdogDRB]

Funny, as we got a little older, the comfort items become more and more important. LOL Nice kit.

[@BigBadStu17]

Dave, are the winters over there dry and cold most of the time. Here in The UK winter is wet and cold. It makes bivvy type camping less attractive. Thanks for the series. It is very much in tune with my current thoughts. Stewart.

[@MadDogSurvival]

Excellent as always sir! Enjoyed watching this! Please keep up your good work! Best wishes brother 👍🏽👍🏽😎

[@peakbagger2014]

That’s so interesting. I went from ultralight backpacking to primitive bush-crafting. And Dave goes from bush crafting to a hybrid lightweight inspired bush crafting type outdoorsy thing. Lol

[@confidential5743]

Thanks for showing us you can still have an effective set up and maintain a light weight. It eventually becomes a science when you start doing the pros and cons for each item you think you need

[@reverendstephenlina7380]

Great video as always but man with the ultralight stuff it seems like what you save in weight you make up for with noise.

[@cloudraker100]

My knees and back remind me that the days of guiding with 80-100 lb packs are loooong behind me. Going light weight and modern will keep me in the woods longer. BTW, I switched to titanium glasses frames 2 years back. What a difference. Its like I'm not wearing glasses.

[@AlexanderBushcraft]

What about ticks etc? This can be a very big problem in many regions...

[@swnorcraft7971]

I'm a hammocker. A hammock is better isolation from critters of all types not to mention far more comfortable. With a proper UQ and OQ, cold isn't an issue.

[@bobesselstyn461]

again thanks Dave for sharing

[@rythmicwarrior]

Great camera! The video quality is top notch.

[@timberdogz]

Like to hear why you chose that tarp configuration. Great series, hope there is more to come!

[@TheKimjoh560]

Exped makes some good light weight gear. I do worry about how my stuff will handle the test of time though. Its a compromize I guess - wear resistance or weight.

[@neilduclos9391]

Hey dave. I see you have the trekology pillow. I have one too but mine developed a leak somewhere and now i use the outdoor vitals pillow. So far that one has held up much longer. Just some info in case it happens to you too. Great series so far.

[@Critical-thinker85]

Good video Dave. I think the bushpot should have a spout like the pathfinder one. All the best. Chris

[@143DREWID]

33.4 degrees, rain/sleet/snow, and windy here tonight. I bet a little bit of butt freezing with that set-up here in New England. Wish it was as nice as there.

[@swnorcraft7971]

I'm going to assume that you have the 10 C's somewhere amongst all of that newfangled gear you have acquired. Basics are still basics. Thanks. Great vid!

[@DavidCanterbury]

You don't see my Knife on my hip, My Lighter, My Container, My Cover, and the Cordage holding it up? The 10C;'s are Categories not items and yes of course I have them all-

[@tomritter493]

@@DavidCanterbury lol figured get anything

[@Traderjoe]

I know your income is tied to selling these products band totally understand and respect that and support it by occasionally buying something from your store. I would like to know if there’s alternatives to traditional tarps for people who would like to get a nylon or ultralight tarp but who is limited by budget or who wants to make their own from less expensive materials and I remember a time when you’d show things like that. I mean, I know it isn’t a lightweight by any means alternative, but an example would be like the time you showed how to make the oilcloth tarp from a canvas tarp from Harbor Freight and painted it with linseed oil and iron oxide and it was a very inexpensive, but time consuming process waiting for it to dry and cure and whatnot. But things like that harken back to the ingenuity of the pioneers and some of these new high tech ultralight, but ultra expensive gear tends to push some of us into the realm of needing to be a sponsored backpacker or only drawing in wealthy adventurers into the world of bushcraft.

[@DavidCanterbury]

Actually there are plenty of Lightweight tarps and I have shown several in the past, Amazon has quite a few actually,the quality may not be as good but they will work for the occasional camper for sure-

[@sharpridgehomestead]

won't be long you will be dumping all those stuff sacks and going to a trashbag liner just like long distance hikers :) You will find your gear will pack better and easier while freeing up more room since there will be no dead air space and also carry better since everything will conform to your back.

[@mtwoodsmen4563]
