This is why I really like to watch your videos. Your rope method was very ingenious, and I can honestly say that your method of using the fat, and hide for a common man, self reliance approach is a great move on your part. You are keeping to the common man way, and I will continue to support you in ways that I can. Thank you Dave for being you! God bless!!

[@RoZZ92]

Hey Dave! I would enjoy a video of you creating a piece of outdoor clothing from the fur you have, in a way one would in a middle to long term survival situation. Great work as always an I hope You still get a smile on your face just like we all get when there is a new video from you.

[@MrPoppabear255]

Watching this trapping video series brings me back to youth. Recalling many a fine day spent trapping.

[@garywayne2494]

Hey Dave thank you soo much for teaching all of us with taking the time out of your day & all. I watch all your video's, tv shows I cant get enough of your knowledge. I wish GOD gave me a father figure like you. It would be a blessing to have something that you actually made with your your hands, how would I go about such a request? Dont stop we all love your work!

[@baca9533]

Perhaps one of the best ways to survive in a self reliance situation is by spending the least amount of calories hunting and gathering food. Trapping happens to be a great way to get meat versus actively searching for a critter and wasting valuable energy. Dave knows what he teaches.

[@barnaclebill1615]

Very informative Dave! Thanks! 😁👍👍🇺🇸

[@rickyhollifield7699]

Thanks Dave I love your videos !!!% most of all the black powder in a modern day 12 gage ))) I have gotten a 22 lr adapter from Short lane - Best thing for 12 gage well ? Better than sliced bread - for your 12 gage ) lol ) thanks for the entertainment and knowledge of the pathway to self reliance !!!% thank you brother lXl

[@ericwhyne]

Dave, great response. The bible is a book for adults. Loving the videos, keep it up.

[@andyh230]

mora clipper. Sharp, shiny, durable, and a great length for a lot of uses. less than 16 bucks on amazon.

[@DarqueScape]

Sweet. Sportin' the old Mora again. I remember when that thing was always around your neck. Made me & the wife buy one.

[@mogges1]

Man skinning the head is the hardest part of it.cause every time I wind up cutting the hide

[@Waldhandwerk]

Fantastic video, lesson, advice, ...everything! Stay well, Sepp

[@Swampcrafter]

It does take a lot to cover the subject well. Very true statement. Good to see someone in the survival/bushcraft community doing it justice. The old rock and figure four deadfall aint gonna cut it. Kudos to Dave for presenting trapping to folks that otherwise would not be exposed to it. Trapping is something you just have to go out and do. You can hang a tarp a time or two and you are good to go on that skill...trapping is not that way....you have to do it a fair amount to develop the skill set.

[@kevinapierce]

Dave as always thank you i have learned most of this by trial and error

[@mikeadrover5173]

Thanks Dave. looking forward for more from you you Mike A Drover

[@BornRandy62]

delivering newspapers when I was 10 years old the quickest route between delivery doors was thru backyards in this little town of 225. I was on a flat out run one sunday morning about 4 am when BOOM I found the first of the skinned beavers with my feets and landed on the other 5 face first. I came out the other side covered in blood and when I got home everybody thought that I had tangled with bobwire until I let them know the whatfor.

[@cliff9057]

Enjoyed the video. Thanks

[@Mstull68]

Happy Veterans Day Dave

[@Oldtimeypistolero]

In NYC there's a high end place called Henry's End that serves exotic meat (had kangaroo there once) and they serve raccoon and beaver sometimes. I heard they buy it from hunters from the upstate of NY.

[@JonJon205]

I am not a expert in the matter, but those Swedish Mora knives like Dave is using in the video are a great knife. They have excellent edge retention, and are easy to resharpen while in the woods. They are also very in-expensive. If you research bushcraft knives and mora knives, you will see there is almost no difference in blade styles. I have two of them myself. I usually use them to butcher deer. I dont believe they would be suitable for batoning large peices of wood.

[@69bivey]

love all of your videos Dave don't get me wrong......! iam a self reliance junkie not a trapper...hope you understand just alot of stuff on trappping.

[@ChibsOB]

Once you render the fat, how would you store the fat until you could process it into whatever workable material you wanted to use it for, if you were in a non-homestead situation for an indefinite period of time? Do you just throw it into an old can or is there a way of preserving the fat for future use?

[@WanderingTheWild]

yet again great demonstration Dave! I think I am gonna start a trapping series of my own soon!

[@PittsvilleDirtFarmer]

Did a fox today. Ripped the tail in half and tore the ear. I was sorely disappointed.

[@UrbanEscipades]

i'd like to see the entire process from setting the trap to the dinner plate. if you could do that in one video as sort of a montage that would be awesome!

[@dallasx9000]

Very educational video especially about using the fat for burning oil , also is that a peacemaker you have on your side

[@windmag22]

Good information Dave but I like to know how to skin a porcupine for survival with out getting stuck

[@coreymcdaniels9910]

Great video

[@Atkrdu]

You forgot something, though. Man can benefit the environment, much like an eagle, by eating the things in that environment. Look at gathering firewood- If someone gathers dead dry wood that they may not even have to break they get the fire they're looking for without having to chop for hours (potentially), it's lighter & easier to carry, doesn't smoke too much or throw off a lot of sparks, & it gets the brush out of the way so the other plants can get sunlight.

[@123ninjab]

Dave, are there any remedies for burns in the wilderness. CUZ THOR HAMMER JUST GOT BUURRNED.

[@TheModernLonghunter]

So if you were just going to tan that hide with the fur on, would you just flesh it and then go straight into brain tanning? Does it need to be dried after fleshing?

[@czechmate9591]

Great video Dave, come to Australia one day, i will take you shooting for Kangaroo, i would like to see how you would skin a Kangaroo, ive never done it myself, but the fur would be great to keep and the meat tastes awesome

[@mtakacs86]

rumor has it that raccoon is great with a little bbq sauce...

[@savageater57]

Neat trick with the rope .

[@HDoctane]

So you gonna eat these rascals Dave, especially that one that was trying kill you lol!!!

[@EatCarbs]

That rope trick seemed to work pretty well. I was wondering what you did with the meat Dave. Filling the freezer? Thanks for the great videos.

[@CelticArmory]

I did a couple the other day. Using the hanger and rope would have made it so much easier. Do you have something on scraping and processing the hide?

[@daltonboy7154]

just out of curiosity how much would a hide like that would bring?

[@bc46488]

THE ROPE THING WAS SLICK! TAKE CARE BROTHER!

[@thepopcorn00]

im planning on getting some leg hold traps from your website, but i want to wait till that butchers knife comes out. what is that knife you used? the handle is weird.... Jon

[@FacetsOfTruth]

Another great video Dave. Thanks for the rope technique. And that WAS a great coon. Very healthy. As far as some of the comments on whether something had rabies or not? I don't think a sick animal would act as a normal animal would (like visiting trap sets). I would only worry about eating animals that were caught in unbaited 'trail sets'.

[@elpadrino1024]

Dave...rate the following by taste...Possum, squirrel, raccoon, snake.

[@Jml5447]

Just a quick question, you said you had a tail stripper...is that a real tool or something you substituted for that particular use?

[@bverseman]

Gen 9:2-3 The fear and dread of you will fall upon all the beasts of the earth and all the birds of the air, upon every creature that moves along the ground, and upon all the fish of the sea; they are given into your hands. Everything that lives and moves will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything.

[@lvl300mrmime]

Real quick question. I know raccoons tend to be great hosts for rabies and other diseases. How would you know if they had a disease and if the meat is good to eat or not? I'm just curious because I've never really thought about really having to survive on meat from a raccoon.

[@Whipt]

Hey Dave, I was wondering if you could maybe take a second to explain Skinning Hygene. How to avoid diseases and stay sanitary. Since you do this without gloves it seems that you would be very confident you wont get any kind of illness. Thanks!

[@TrehanCreekOutdoors]

Great video, thanks for sharing it. Gotta try the rope trick. Pretty cool idea. For any of your viewers who might also enjoy it, I have a video on my channel showing how to grill raccoon.

[@Moonsabie]

great vid your lighting was tops

[@johntmurray67]

good vid man thanks

[@Coral_dude]

Thank you for this - city slicker

[@amaw88]

Hey Dave, thanks for another awesome video. I was wondering if you were worried about over trapping your property? Keep up the awesome work! -Allen

[@SZ-ZS-]

nice work

[@gobigorgohomenow101]

Hey Dave you might want to check out 5911ryan, I have watched some of his videos and they are very good, He knows what he is doing, might be a good tool just to get the odd little pointer here or there to pick up on.

[@garyminick1050]

What about eating the fat in a survival circumstance. Can it be rendered and stored as food in some manner ?

[@Th3Cap3dCrusad2r]

Hey Dave what kind of side arm are you carrying in this video??

[@End036]

Hi Dave I love you videos. I am looking to go on my first hunt on my nan's farm and i was wondering if you have any advice for skinning a rabbit. I ask as i really don't have anyone to gleam this knowledge from. Also i would just like to check that that method that you showed in part 26 would work for a rabbit. Thanks Alec

[@DesignatdSurvivalist]

I've been meaning to ask you, what's the pistol you've been carrying for the trapping series?

[@MrJoeyBoombotz]

Excellent video. Thank you sir.

[@scottsano]

Thanks

[@indigobrave]

Good video, thanks for sharing - just a quick slightly unrelated question - does the Pathfinder store ship to the UK? Sorry if this has been asked someplace else.

[@ChristopherInglish]

How did you modify the handle Dave? Just wood burned it or did you notch it first?

[@MRSROCKINROBIN]

How did you kill it??? Shoot it, smash it with a rock??? I've never hunted or trapped so I am just wondering. I do love fishing though.... :) Did you make your hat??? .... Looks really warm. . Merrie-Merrie

[@23Belligerent]

Do you / can you eat the meat from them? Is it any good? Never knew how red they are. Good catch Dave, glad the season is finally open and I look forward to see watch you catch next!

[@NESurvivalPrep]

That's going to be "fun" to scrape.

[@TonyHookedonVanlife]

I could use this information... we have racoons coming on our porch at night eating the cat's food. LOL

[@lenavillines7681]

God bless you

[@MaestroPrep]

Hey Dave, any chance if getting a few vids on hide processing methods and styles?

[@iReturnV1deotapes]

What are your plans for that hide? I'd like to see another fleshing/tanning video.

[@OutDoorsManGuy11]

Hey Dave you mind telling me what 22 pistol your sporting? Thanks for all these videos!

[@travisbishop8241]

Never seen that rope method, But I think I'll try it next go around. Having your hands free could help matter's alot. Thanks for the info Dave...

[@SIOSpawn]

Leviticus 24:21 Whoever kills an animal shall make it good, and whoever kills a person shall be put to death. Genesis 9:3 Every moving thing that lives shall be food for you. And as I gave you the green plants, I give you everything.

[@kaziklu79]

Dave, what knife do you use in this vid?

[@57WillysCJ]

Good job. Some use the rope with winch on deer.

[@palexanderrice]

i watched something similar but the guy use his truck to slowly pull off the hide

[@greatimposter]

Awesome video! Don't you worry about ticks?

[@kentuckymusashi]

dave do you make and or sell fur hats like the one your wearing? if so how much?

[@mogges1]

Dave could I do rabbit the same.

[@younginsurvival]

Can anybody tell me what a good beginner bushcraft knife is?

[@ArcherADK]

are rabies a concern?

[@Ali.N147]

after fleshing and preserving?

[@JMTEAMROPER1]

what kind of gun are you carrying on your belt?

[@HJColli]

Hey Dave i saw the gun on your side would you do a video on it.

[@NWoutdoorProductions]

how do u go about selling the meat ??

[@liquidxskin19]

I saw this video where a guy used a air compresses to help skin a fox.

[@REAPERMILITIAOUTDOORS]

Good stuff👍🤘👊

[@thepopcorn00]

may i ask how? Jon

[@TomBongiovanni]

Love your videos

[@theguywitheyebrows]

dig the revolver

[@charlesnixon7133]

like that handgun is it a ruger single six new model

[@shooter77us]

I wonder if it's the same 5 guys disliking each video...

[@sevennye6897]

you couldve cut back a lot of time on the legs if you cut around the feet and then made the money cut. never seen anyone do that stick method. just my two cents, nothing wrong with it.

[@kingmike1984]

It seems more than a little ironic that a guy sporting the name of a Norse god would make a Biblical appeal on the grounds of Hindu theology.

[@Danieldrylie]

God clearly doesn't want people to kill animals. That's why He commanded the Israelites to sacrifice them...

[@JacksterBro]

I'm sure its a great video but i couldn't much.

[@mogges1]

never mind Dave,I got it skinned missed up the noise part and the front legs around the front foot area did manage to keep the ear intacked.Now I don have a fleshing knifewhat else can I use to flesh with

[@shortwanker]

Do you have a link or phone number of a fur buyer???

[@Zigzagzodak]

Where's the blood?

[@dragonusmc0311]

can make a nice hat with that one.

[@rybakryoshi1443]

I sorry for the Negative Vote. It was a mistake

[@82Oddball]

Just a troll LOL. good video!
