I love the common sense approach that you always have. I’ve been watching your videos for maybe over 14 years now and I still get excited when a new one drops.

[@Charsept]

I heard you say "2 is 1 and 1 is none" about 10 years ago now and that's always stuck with me. I've been building redundancies into my gear ever since.

[@NonyaDamnbusiness]

The Swagman roll has been the best piece of kit I've ever purchased. Man I wish that thing existed when I was on tanks in the Army overseas for Bosnia, Kosovo, and Iraq. Folks, just get a Swagman roll. It's worth it.

[@paul7754]

Great kit - except for one thing I'm constantly noticing among 'bush crafters' - a lack of a SHOVEL! Why doesn't anyone carry a shovel? Don't you people dig cat holes - bury your crap or do you leave the TP flaying in the wind? Shovels have a lot of uses - firepits/fire extinguish (kinda serious about that here in the west), breaking down wood, trenches, pounding in stakes, not to mention one in a pack out like Dave's it would be the closest thing to a weapon (besides a short (not a Bowie) fixed blade knife) you may need. Shovels add weight (so does water) but honestly - if I'm heading out to the sticks, desert or foothills for a day that likely turns into an overnighter - GI shovel is going with! There are lighter and smaller options - but if I don't make it - you'll likely find my carcass clenching an E-tool (likely digging for water in the Southwestern desert). It's tough out here kids.

Dave please do a video on bugs and TICKS

[@kevinsmith7287]

Always grateful for the total explanations you give for equipment's. As an absolute survival sleeping situation, I tend to carry 2 large black plastic rubbish sacks. The first I fill with as much leaves or dry grass as I can and that gives me a mattress that gives me room between me and the ground. I cut a hole in the bottom of the second bag and wear it like a poncho to keep rain and wind off. I find that to be the absolute minimum survival kit. I hope that helps someone.

[@dtjrealmc]

The hoodie looks superb

[@awayinthewilderness4319]

Where in the world do I find a piece of black Tyvek? Every time I see you mention that Tyvek I look for it and cannot find it. Thanks! God bless!

[@tennessee978]

Wiggy’s, EXPED……oh, yeah!! Great info as always…..it never gets old; it’s never too much. Thank you for always being “on it.” Thank you for your hard work….it does not go unnoticed!

[@harrylowry-jd9hs]

Not seeing someone hocking 100% there own brand is scarce as hens teeth and that in itself sells me on your charachter n abilitys...have a great day ! No worries from va.

[@maxpinson5002]

The aluminum wedge is a good thing to have. Been wanting to pick one up since you showed it the first time, but I haven't had the extra funds for anything like that. Way better than risking your knife by pounding on it to split wood with. I'd as soon stomp dry branches in two myself, but many don't like to. Thanks for the video

[@these.wild.valleys]

Great video as always Dave. You're definitely the industry standard in everything that you cover. Big fan from the UK.

[@DWMurry]

Basics! Always good to review.

[@woodstrekker6345]

Thanks. I hope the family is all well. You are in my prayers. So glad to hear so many classes are sold out. You and your instructors and SRO deserve success. You've worked hard for it. Thanks again for all you do.

[@valkyrieocean]

So happy that I came across your channel, you have inspired me to get into bushcraft and camping! Thank you!

[@CommonCentsOutdoorsman]

Now that makes good CommonCents! Thanks Dave.

[@tcarp1616]

Loved the class thank you Dave

[@seapirat]

You’re so organized.

[@peterott-tn6pf]

Dave, I love your content! You give people an honest opinion and do not try to sell them on anything!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experiences with us all!!

[@dragonwisard]

This is a lot of gear to carry "if you're not planning on camping". It's a good kit if you are camping. But as someone who camps recreationally, I don't know anyone who goes into the woods with that much great "just in case". You almost always have some kind of intention when you're out in the wilderness, and you're probably carrying gear specific to that intention. So are you really carrying another 35L/35# of "just in case I decide to camp?" You're either deep enough in that you were planning to camp, or you're close enough to civilization or base camp that your first priority would be making it back out and you'd rather carry gear to get you out than settle in. Love the channel and the content! Gotten a lot of useful camping advice from you over the years!

[@jessetate3110]

Great information 😊

[@terrybutler-fl4dx]

As someone already mentioned, you killing dat hoodie.

[@robslagle]

what would your take be for someone in the deep south... the ground moves with insects here.... ground pounding outside of winter is a non-starter, the fire ants are horrible. Would you default to a hammock or a raised bed?

[@DavidHooverJr]

Thanks for the info and I can’t wait to see the new book.

[@terryqueen3233]

I have always carried a cordage bag with bank line but the idea of putting the tent stakes in there was an excellent idea thank you very much

[@whiteraven1911]

thanks for all the great content 😁

[@AWestCoastWanderer]

Another killer video by the legend himself. Keep up the fantastic content, Dave!

[@dannyadamson2198]

Good information, glad to see you’re still keeping busy

[@tommurphy2306]

Great video. Thanks Dave!

[@MtMan146]

Good information and up date stay safe out there

[@markhinkle2451]

Nice of you to mention Wiggy's sleeping bags! I bought one in 1988 I've deployed with and camped with it around the world. After 30 years of ruff continuous use a had A seam break. Great bags!

[@zippitydoodah5693]

Thanks, Dave.

[@Shadow_Demon_X]

Nice tips to take on board, I am always looking for better ways to pack smaller and lighter.

[@alanrice39]

Thanks Dave, very helpful, really appreciate you taking out the time for this video

[@jeffbeger2407]

Thank you for the time you take out of your personal life to make these videos, they are truly inspiring content every time thanks again.

[@scottangel6462]

Perfect timing!! Just got back from a day scout today. I have been looking for a good place to set up a basecamp and other resources. Great video as always!!

[@mrwes100]

Great stuff Big Dawg Dave.

[@davetrott6241]

Thanks for video.

[@allseeingI5]

With Ponchos, I've found it convenient to carry 2 that can snap together, use one over and one with a liner or both as a double wide

[@ClaudeBohls]

Information good human

[@NichGatton]

Thanks for the video brother! Great job!

[@eastvantony]

great stuff thanks!

[@metaltextile5471]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@magillagorilla1]

You are the industry standard

[@hiramhaji7813]

Outstanding video

[@JacobJohn-rc4sx]

My good friend Dave.

[@donalddicorcia2433]

Thanks, Dave!

[@newhampshireoutdoornetwork9505]

I also carry a 22 mag revolver in my backpack for a backup with x amount of ammo, depending on where I'm going and how long I expect to be gone. This is a good video made me think to go through my bag and make sure everything is still good for this upcoming spring

[@simonwinwood]

❤ thank you.

[@breaking_bear]

Gear dumps are my absolutely favorite videos! I'm watching this again! Looking forward to your new book Dave!

[@prepped-pi4wc]

I love the pack list..very informative. My only issue is that these sorts of videos never actually show the items being packed into the bag. The presenters always say it fits the pack, they tell you the weight...but when you try it yourself, the stuff never fits or weighs as much as advertised...even in the exact same pack. I would love to see for once contents being packed into the bag and then weighed. If it all fits...prove it. p.s. I love the channel and appreciate the work you put into it.

[@darrinmartin8247]

Dave is the King

[@brenthayes1671]

Great video!! Especially when you mentioned the aluminum wedge! I have never thought of that, and I found one online. Thanks for all you do!

[@paulbarbacano1109]

I know you are busy...But I hope you make some bed roll cooker sets again.. I have the squirrel cooker and it's awesome 👍

[@RobertBrown-n6h]

I have the same scout pack and it is awsome I am still trying to figure out different configurations for my different gear so many options!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@richstone2627]

Concise and full of good info. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and time.

[@breaking_bear]

Thank you!

[@khamen723]

I camped around 50° with only a swagman roll. If it was gonna be any colder I would bring a wool blankie, as well

[@chunkafunk81]

love the Cross on the board! CHRIST IS KING!

[@mrkultra1655]

Thanks Dave

[@jamesellsworth9673]

Thanks for reviewing a USEFUL LOADOUT.

[@zlot4hire]

Thank you for all the great content! Any idea when the next batch of tarp pole kits will be in?

[@embersuhnuhk346]

You're right. A lighter #1. Ferro rod & magnifying glass are backups. That's my fast & FURIOUS (F&F) fire kit for minimal kit & maximum mobility (grams = Kilograms = PAIN). I carry char cloth w char can & that's it for COMBUSTION. Swagman + poncho + ground pad + OR bivy + reflective tarp + hoodie + base layer + what I wear is it for COVER. My USMC K-bar + CASE pocket knife is it for CUTTING. A Pathfinder canteen 32 oz that nests inside my bush pot & stove stand is it for CONTAINERS. I keep a 3 L water bladder inside my ALICE pack. CORDAGE is minimal with 550 + bank line + RD ridge line + sew kit. CORPSMAN kit is minimal w 1st aid & hygiene items. CULLING kit is minimal w 2 rat traps & a minimal fishing kit. The weight adds up fast. 35 pounds max is a great goal. That doesn't include the weight of water & trail food. Best be physically conditioned by weekly walks carrying a 50 pound pack. It should have a frame & rest on the hips in my humble opinion. Below 40° F I pack 2 Pathfinder queen wool blankets + folding bow saw + small folding hand saw + snow shoes. That adds another 20 pounds.

[@gud2go50]

Very similar setup to my get home bag, if I get stuck on the road somewhere!😊

[@Biomass1]

I like tough gear as well. My MSS gets used year round and things get added as needed. My gear is heavier but I have used alot of it for decades and know it works. I have modern gear but find I grab old reliables more often than not. I camp no matter the temp but plan accordingly.

[@graybeardedsheepdog9037]

Heck yeah!! Great video!!

[@AllWeatherFirestarters]

Great Video! Any chance on doing a product review of our Firestarter?

[@briantunnell123]

D.C. is the O.G.!

[@steddyk]

Hope I get to see you use your Jeep set up again, I have to go back and rewatch the cap video such a nice rig.

[@Mr_SeaWolf]

Thanks for the video Dave #22adaynomore

[@GypsyBushcraft1]

Great video David

[@thomasmusso1147]

👍👍👍 .. nice. Always interesting to watch your Posts. That little Aluminium Wedge is a good idea. I usually get the 'horrors' when I see someone hammering down with a log on a knife blade or axe head during batoning. I 'baton' with my knife (guilty as charged 😏) .. a Terävä Jääkäripuukko 140 .. but only using a gloved fisted palm. My little Granfors Mini Axe .. never! Thanks for sharing .. it gives me the opportunity, at the very least, to look at the knick-knacks that I carry with me as a comparison. Take care ..

[@richardshawver7264]

Dave to your fre kit add a pencil sharpener. Preferably a carpenter pencil one. You can make a huge pile of paper thin wood shaving in no time flat from a stick. Yes I know fuzz sticks. By the time you make one I've got my fire going cooked my coffee and sitting back enjoying my time. Sure the stick might be wet. but the savings are about 90% or more dry. And the savings are so thin that a fire steel will light them. Plus you are left with a pointy stick.

[@markpoore3260]

Great video like always Dave

[@verapregogrilo]

Great 👍 Thanks

[@whit1678]

This is Gold! Thank you. Question…no combination tool or Cargo tape?

[@BrosephRussell]

Nice kit right there

[@benterwellen]

Ty dave

[@mikeswinyard5838]

Great video, I keep looking for that scout pack on the website in the woodland camo but nothing yet. I am looking forward to that color to buy one. Any updates on a date for release?

[@DavidCanterbury]

April/May

[@wastelandgentleman]

I love the canteen I’m just curious if there’s a way to adapter the cap for CBRN Masks drinking so I can finally ditch my plastic CBRN canteen

[@elevatorman7750]

Great video buddy.

[@Nofixedabode859]

Dave is the foresters quilt much more warmer than the swagman which has about 60g of insulation per square ft I think?

[@bulldawg6259]

Thank you Dave

[@rddavis1988]

Like the pack you displayed. Would you mind sharing (probably for the 1000 time) the name/brand? Thanks.

[@PauloNeuenschwander]

Hey David! Nice video man! Good to hear you're busy with the school. I'm curious about how you'd pack all that stuff in the scout backpack. Especially how'd you do with the sleeping bag. I have had a hard time trying to attach it in a good way in my own backpack. Would you mind showing us that? God bless you man!

[@dylancampbell1848]

Any idea when the foresters quilt will be back in stock ? I’m going to snatch one as soon as they are !!!

[@Skellanuts]

Nice video Dave! When is the woodland backpack coming out??

[@DavidCanterbury]

Apr/May

[@WildernessWondersTV1]

Good review

[@arvinbabayan2315]

Great 👍

[@8chohgee135]

thanks

[@darrellstrickland]

I noticed that you never mentioned a haversack. I haven’t seen you with one in quite awhile. Do you still carry one? What is in it? Do you still carry a belt pouch?

[@lunastar832]

...i recently purchased a picnic blanket for five dollars it's waterproof on one side...I may have also rubbed mink oil into the resistant fabric side I guess I could use that in a pinch should it be needed

[@jdjarvis3715]

Question about the Exped 7. Dont you have to unpack down products to prevent losing loft and therefore the insulation value from the down? Would this be an issue with keeping this kit together throughout the season?

[@Seancmccormick]

I will spare all the blather. I’ve been a fan for a long time. My question is will you ever do a book series on survival specifically???Love to see a Pathfinder survival series in paperback. ATB Sean

[@sobrevivenciaead1513]

Nice content

[@glock-hm3ro]

Hi Dave! Can you expand on why you have a Wiggys bag? I know why I personally buy his gear but want your input also please

[@meat094]

Great video as always Dave. Which pack are you using?

[@FarAway-Farm]

Hi Dave, I've been watching since before DS. Can you do an urban trapping series? like what you'll have to do after a societal collapse. Or if you couldn't get out into the country.

[@RustyConibear]

Are you going to replenish the poncho kits? Missed it by minutes.

[@DavidCanterbury]

Friday on the poles
