[@northof50now]

I've been shopping at the pathfinder school store for about a year. Not only does he carry all of it, but the prices are better than I've found elsewhere. It always arrives quickly and is nicely packaged. Best part is, there is a tremendous sense of satisfaction from the fact that you are supporting the channel. It has become my go-to place to shop.

[@legalizeit79]

Dave seems like a totally cool dude. Not some douche that is full of himself. Dave i respect your knowledge and the fact that you obviously enjoy sharing it. Been watching you for years .Thank you for the many useful things you have taught me just from watching the videos you make,

[@juliapape6335]

Can't wait to attend this class with my bf next year for our joined birthday present to each other! What a great experience it will be, and I can't wait to meet you to learn from the best!!!!

[@keikuru1]

I also just wanted to say Dave I love that not only do you give us such detailed and straight-forward advice for free but you also interact with us on a one-to-one basis unlike some youtubers who act high and mighty. I disagreed with you on one of your other videos about hidden tangs not being as good as full tangs (given proper heat treatment & steel) and you responded respectfully and didn't talk down to me or block me. Keep being down to earth and an overall awesome teacher. :)

[@joshuarugg4567]

I would really love to see you do Alone, I remember when Dual Survival first aired I was a fan from the git. Love the fact that you share your knowledge and that you are a humble man. Your an awesome guy Dave!

[@keikuru1]

Thanks for sharing so much info online, I'm from the UK so I can't attend, but even if I could I'd have to pick some things up, I'm new to bushcrafting and love going basic and ultralight, skipping the luxuries. Camping out in the UK is a pain, even in summer (it rained all summer and we only had 154 hours of sunshine this year) but I like to think being used to rain is an advantage, it's the only way I can enjoy myself. Much love Dave! Keep being real.

[@14maddaxmorris41]

4 of us are signed up for he basic class in March. Can't wait. I have watched all of you videos, Dave. Learned a lot, looking forward to learning more.

[@davidwickline7000]

I think it is outstanding the training you offer fills a basic need in the modern world for this knowledge. These days few people have grown up in the outdoors like we used to do.

[@YTSKI]

We thank you for supporting your students in whatever way they need. You are truly a rare breed of people, and I support you for all that you do for us. You are why I buy from you. Products can be purchased anywhere, but character is something you can't find just anywhere. Thanks again Dave, and I will be praying for you, your family, and your business to thrive, and that yall will continue to gain a higher relationship with Jesus Christ our Lord!

[@comfortouch]

The issue of taking your classes isn't in the cost of supplies, or the cost of the class; it's in the travel costs! It would be great if you/your instructors traveled to major areas (ie: Sacramento, CA) and held classes. I belong to a non-extreme 'prepper' group that would easily take up 20+ places in just one of your classes, if we didn't have the travel expenses.

[@darrellstrickland]

Dave, I've always thought that candles were great to have in a kit, so much so, that I usually carry two, one in a dedicated candle lantern and one as part of my fire kit. The cheap dripping candles work great at starting fires in wet conditions,(assuming of course that you can light the candle) and they can add a few degrees of heat inside your shelter. Candle wax can be used in waterproofing, lubricating and a dozen other applications. They don't need batteries. If you break one, you get two. They're reliable. They even start with the letter 'C'. But I've never heard you mention one. Am I wrong about candle power?

[@K0M0NER]

Well, I always enjoy learnin from ya. Your videos you post here are really more knowledgable then the cut up tv shows any how.

[@fade2blk1000]

I just took Daves last Basic Class, He is not lying....When he says he will loan you tools! He loaned me a High Dollar Axe and Knife..That was his personal gear..He would probably give u everything..if u didnt have the money and really wanted to take his class! He is that kind of person! He is the real deal...I can not saying enough about his Crew and family! They are in this to TEACH.....Dave leaves no one behind....and when you leave his school..You will be able to light fires in your sleep !

[@UKfamilyprepper]

Seeing reviews like this, really give me the hump!! I live in the UK and know I could never afford to come to the USA and take Dave's classes. Dave if you &/ or your staff came to England, I would love to take your classes, I have access to 26.5 acres of woodland to use, & I could find the funds to take your classes God Bless

[@TheGazramar]

i tell you what Dave i sure wish i could afford to take me and my boy to your class. That would be a great time. Thanks for all the videos man.

[@jwrappuhn71]

Dave kicks ass, wish I could attend a class.

[@HDoctane]

I think that would be a great video aswell self reliance with a dog, considering I have two dogs I recently started building med kit for them in the field for small injuries but would love your input Dave!!!

[@jstnfshr]

"comparable facsimile" nice vocab! Great public speaking as always, brother!!

[@ratroddiesels1981]

i like your programme's also the wood working and blacksmithing programmes are excellent .

[@mddigger8424]

your the man dave keep doing what you do.. thank you so much. Ryan

[@IIDASHII]

Hey Dave. I know you don;t seem to want to name specific brands that break, but for the sake of all of us, I would sincerely appreciate it if you did. You see much more gear, and how well it works, than the rest of us, which puts you in a better position the let the rest of us know what to avoid. There is nothing wrong with letting us know what is crap! It might even make a good video. "Survival gear to Avoid?"

[@themoodybobby1]

I will be signing up soon look forward to taking as many classes as possible i have tools in place now need extra training that mora bushcraft black would add nicely to my kit hint hint

[@tsnorquist]

Can you imagine if everyone in NY and NJ had the tools shown here. How much of a difference would that have made.

[@Smashy2009]

the closest i found in europe is whipping twine. (Takelgarn in german) it is used to finish off rope ends as well as sewing up awnings and sails. it is not tarred, but it is waxed. i dont know the breaking strength, but i have not mannaged to break any yet. hope this helps

[@dn2ze]

glad you told them about the knife cause even a cheap knife is as good as expensive one..making a knife out of skill saw blade is even good too..

[@imo0331]

I like how you tell us about the gear needed without pushing your products on us...it makes me want to go buy all of your products lol...

[@jameshankinsii4372]

Love the fact you said walmart if you live in a hillbilly tone while talking about the bank line that's where I get mine.

[@derekpoosbug]

When I make charcloth I just put my cloth under my fire in dirt and have my fire let it die all the way down and bam char cloth works 99.99% of the time lol

[@WA8QFE]

All of this and a normal 3 day cheap tactical backpack only weighs 14 lbs total. Lee, Indianapolis

[@blugerjug]

Hey Dave, I'm not much of a survivalist myself but have you ever considered including a shamagh in your kit rather than bandanas? They're somewhat unorthodox but I can attest to the fact that they work great in a variety of environments. I live in Colorado so the weather's always changing and I use mine all the time. Also, they're huge when unfolded so that might be useful. Thanks for the vids!

[@moonpieface7627]

thanks for this video. excellent information! it would be nice to see this bundled in your store to get a good deal for all the kit you need. different bundles could be created for different needs/classes. it would also be nice to see a list of the equipment in the description along with links to the items in your store. no reason why you shouldn't be able to generate additional revenue by drawing those connections, and we would all love the convenience of the links. keep these great videos coming!

[@K0M0NER]

I have been ordering gear from ya guys, its quality and I am thankful. Also I have a question, (i may be out of the loop here)...are you planning on doing another television series?

[@leroybowiejenkins1201]

What specific items would you suggest putting in a survival pack?

[@sofakinggood5829]

Thanks Dave

[@fredfreiberger7878]

i want to retract a previous response about a kit i did not realize you had it on the store site i appoligize and hope to purchase one soon as i save enough up

[@dgr8zod]

Dave, love your vids, but of recent the lead in has had a VERY low audio level. I turn it all the way up, and it still isn't "normal"..

[@88GTW]

Hey, Dave, why do you need a mirror with the compass?

[@chrisgallant1889]

you rock man way to break it down now all a need is a passport lol

[@MMorgan09876]

Will it work if the magnifying glass is more than 5x?

[@JerrysWoodShopandOutdoors]

What's the website for the items you sell???

[@stevenanderson9857]

Awesome, found your site, looked at your webpage, and am now putting money away to gather some pieces as funds become available.. Excellent Presentation.. brought memories back to my navy instructor training,, Demonstrate for the student, , do with the student, have student perform ,,,Thank you

[@TheMongo1357]

Please pardon my asking, but how much is the Basic Survivor Class?

[@lorenlittlejohn8592]

I understand all the criteria for the knife except the blade length. Anyone know why he wants it at least 5" long?

[@ollie824]

I was wondering what brand or style Axe would you recommend for a survival tool. price is not to big of an issue because it will be a gift for my dad and I would rather have a quality tool so it doesn't break easily. Thanks. Love the videos by the way.

[@kennethworde862]

Great job, your time in military serves you well on briefing! So if I show up with a Zippo /fluid, and suger& potassium permanganate you'd work with me?! LOL

[@MultiRusty111]

I'm not very good using a flint and steel.I tried knapping a piece of quartz,no go could'nt get a decent edge on it.As I was using what somewhat edge of the quartz to strike the steel,the quartz kept chipping.The worst was hurting my fingers as I was trying to get a spark.There were some sparks not nearly sufficient to ignite excellerant ie charcloth,What am I doing wrong?

[@ChaplainBobWalkerBTh]

ferrocesium & Firesteel.....the best.

[@crayrat1]

Again thanks Dave good videos... I'll have to look into your school...

[@MrMokrzesik]

Hey Dave I know you have received this question before but I couldn't find it. Can a Mildly disabled person take your class? its nothing real bad just a back injury I received in the Corps. Id love to attend but was kind of leery as to whether I could keep up. Thanks for all YOU do Dave, and as always Semper Fidelis..

[@specter3906]

Hey dave you dont have tell us what knife fails .....but would you buy and use a BK2...need to know ...thanks and great video

[@OmegaMan999]

Dave, I keep hearing that Condor knives don't hold an edge. Is that true?

[@LozzerGuide]

Hey Dave, you teach survival courses and post instructional videos on how to survive. You should consider telling people which products fail, not only which ones are good. =)

[@TheBuckmaster918]

hey dave can kids take the scout class

[@HIPPIETHUG92109]

Dave is awesome!!!! 🙏❤️🤙

[@CalebAtwoodMusic]

Mr. Canterbury, I am considering attending the "Basic Pathfinder Class" this year. Does this video still apply? Thank You! -Caleb

[@H3R00FTH30TAKU]

Hey Dave have you ever conducted a class in Maine if not would it be a possibility?

[@themoodybobby1]

Did you get the pics on the book? Email not working right on these phones

[@roadog755]

my name is bill day how much are the class and how long are the class I do know some thing about the outdoors

[@survivingknives8059]

I Love your vids and I wish u were still on dual survival and I was wandering if u could put my name out there in one of your vids that would help me a lot because I just got started on KZbin and I need a little help so that would be awesome thanks for your vids and your skills that you past down to me keep up the good work

[@jamesellison8517]

Do you still carry 10 liter drybags on your website? I couldn't find them if you do.

[@SZ-ZS-]

your an inspiration

[@Elias.Agg.]

Great video, but in my opinion you need more than that. Like a first aid kit, some mres, gloves, poncho or raincoat etc. I dont understand, why he has just a knife for cutting tool and considers a saw or an axe as optional. Never go out in the woods without an axe guys...

[@tomritter493]

keep teaching em dave good job

[@derekchrs]

Hey Dave I was wondering what a Basic Class for 1 adult and 1 child ( 12 yrs old )?

[@That1GamerWhoPWNS]

hey Dave, great video, how much would it be for me (15) and my father to do a 3 day pathfinder course?

[@TheWikiKnowledge]

Hi Dave, what do you think about Colt Hunter CT268

[@ricstormwolf]

I'm a huge fan of yours, Dave. I was wondering why you wouldn't trust your life to a $25 compass. I want to buy a compass from your website, but $85 is kinda pricey for me at the moment and I was considering the $25 one. But, now I'm not so sure. Haha

[@bst2664]

My nephew and I are planning a trip for next year.

[@fivesfish]

British Gaffer Tape is #1 :)

[@Little_Bitz]

What is bank line used for?

[@kaifriedenberg5710]

What is the age range for the basic class?

[@shelikemydoogie]

Are these classes free? And where is the pathfinder school located?

[@cvJs_]

very instructive, thanks for sharing this video dave! im from germany and id love to join your class someday ...

[@juanbarturen2726]

Thanks

[@TheFrerc]

I would not be scared of bashing the living hell out of a mora knife. they will hold. the will get blunted, but then again so will any knife.

[@sevensurvival]

Excellent video, wise choices,well done .respect. thanks.......Seven Thunders

[@amandacovington4958]

Hi dave my name is caleb I'm a big fan I've been watching u sense i was 10 and before u stop doing dual survival and i wanted to no if u have to be 18 to take the pathfinderschool classes because I'm almost seventeen now and would like to no please respond if possible

[@davidziegler6782]

Perfect

[@rds479]

Can someone with a disability take the class?

[@amrasurvivalchannel2708]

Thanks for the video always learning

[@13thBear]

Finally! A professional! Someone that knows what they're talking about. AND...you have NOTES to help you remember what you want to cover, in what order. You have to be the first speaker I've seen on YT that has notes! Most folks just wing it and it shows repeatedly that they are just talking off the top of their head with little or more likely NO preparation. THANK YOU for your presentation.

[@jeffreypope2223]

Dave Canterbury provides the clearest, most concise, and most generous instructional videos in the Self Reliance community. Long live Canterbury!

[@renh99]

"If you live in a good hillbilly town" Love it! Thanks Dave!

[@online_screen_name]

"Wallmart if you live in a good hillbilly town" hahahaa

[@jslawnservice2002]

Thanks for the info Dave!! Now do you have any videos on how to convince your wife to let you go to the school? (LoL)

[@luderudecrude]

I love the fact that he constantly drives the point it doesn't have to be equipment from his store, get what you can. It tells me he really loves doing it and profit isn't his main motivator

[@whitey11471]

Hey Dave, love the videos brother! Along with the items you have shown through out the videos I have also added a onion bag to my kit. I have found so many uses for this from a fishnet, or a crawfish/minnow trap to stuffing it with grass for a pillow. Not to mention the storage uses of it. Just wanted to share it with ya all I havent seen it on any of your videos but then again I havent watched them all yet either. Keep'em comin bro you are a walking encyclopedia of knowledge!!

[@daisymouri2302]

Dave is one of the absolute very best! Real and practical! He is fantastic!!

[@bryantdodds2643]

Nice vid but u need to name the knives that fail so I won't waste my money

[@rayscar2]

In one of his videos, he says that one that fails is the"Rambo" style. Hollow handle cannot baton with it.

[@CHeartlyR]

One of these days, I'd love to take at least one of your courses!

[@victorj.martinez6019]

i'm finally satisfied that dave is a real dude! so far i thought i had a great understanding of the outdoors. all the great stuff he comes up with helps me to remember what i forgot! thanx and keep it up. i live for the outdoors and more amped up than ever before, great teaching's. V.Mtz

[@usn038]

Dave i,m getting my gear together so i can take your basic class. I have a 16" axe,, so I was wondering which knife to get. A condor nessmuk or a condor bushlore. thank you answering.

[@RoyMcAllister]

Please help me I'm sure that you probably seen some of these KZbin videos of pasta about bug out bags ang bags and this new snap bag they been talking about. But one thing they really are forgetting it is properly dressing for winter conditions you know as well as I do going into the mountains going up in elevation been exposed to the wind and the temperature dropped I'm just being winter is a dangerous combination plus the occasional Blizzard coming through If they're not properly dressed they are going to freeze to death and I die so please help me save lives at least on this subject by getting the word out about dressing in layers you know some thermals maybe some sweats the regular clothes maybe some thermal insulated overalls and a jacket thermal gloves something to keep your head warm as well as their feet and I understand wool is the best thing I know it holds 80 percent of its warmth even when it gets wet but not everybody can afford the best of stuff so please help me with this pass the word around and let's get this situation dealt with before people die and they need to understand that means extra weight in the pack thank you

[@denis2d538]

As i said earlier Dave's backpack is a pretty enough tool carrier. For example, Russian bushcrafters and hunters sometimes recommended "this things for emergency". as a result you have a lot pieces of bullshit in backpack on your shoulders and thinking- what am i doing here? i can watch Dave's video on youtube at home!))))) thanks Dave.

[@Onegs82]

Did you say at least 5 power for a magnifying glass? Thanks!

[@joshlewis265]

Good job, you're a good man Dave

[@alexseessengood2109]

I have seen some of your videos and I like to see how to survive in the wilderness, one of my favorite videos is is how to make a bundle bow in the wilderness, but wouldn't it be easier and more effective if you made a finger-sling or a shepherds sling instead? A properly made finger sling can even throw a projectile farther than a bow can shoot. tell me what you think.

[@James-ke5sx]

Great videos I learned a lot from all your knowledge. I just found out that paracord planet makes a 3000 pound tensile strength paracord called paramax 5/16 in.But I don't see anybody on the internet making a video on this maybe nobody knows about it. Going back to watch some more your videos now.

[@eapd202]

Your Military background teaching style works for me. I hope to attend a class or two in the future. Good job on this and other videos!

[@czechmate9591]

I wish i was in the US so i can do one of your courses, i live in Australia, come to Australia one day and do one of your classes, you would have at least 20-50 people

[@kingChin0]

Hey Dave, thank you for the great videos! I have a question, what do you recommend for shoes? I know this is not a question Cody would be able to answer haha
