The 10 C's of Survival by Dave Canterbury

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

Thanks for watching this video! Today's drinking game is "Dave Canterbury"; take a shot every time you hear it while watching this video. Stay tuned for the next video as part of this mini series on Evacuation Kit Essentials. We'll be moving to urban specific items next!

[@mueford]

so .....i died

[@KThom429]

That's exactly my first thought as this video went along! lol

[@paulwalsh7244]

Water bottle is secony only to cover item is tssrp or blankets

[@jtekholm]

I am now reporting from the grave after commencing in the drinking game!

[@K0OTC]

Thanks for the video. Dangerous drinking game for folks would be to drink every time Dave Canterbury is said in the video.

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

VERY dangerous, indeed!

[@neededtobesaid4275]

My thoughts EXACTLY!

[@3nertia]

And if someone just donates a nickel to me every time Dave Canterbury's name is mentioned, I *might* just have enough $$ to afford his basic survival course where *I* have to purchase and bring my own gear lmao

[@kgbhui]

Just ad a shotglass in the container section and don't forget no.11 on this list: a bottle of Cognac

[@Christian_Prepper]

@@TheUrbanPrepper *Since "lensatic" means with a lens, what could the advantages be of a "non-lensatic" compass? Dave Canterbury recommends "non-lensatic", why? Thanks*

[@marjiecleveland]

Dave really does a lot for the prepping and survival community. I follow his channel and base my items on the 10 C's.

[@Jaden48108]

I recommend adding two more Cs to make it 12. The 11th C being "Calories" (could even make it just candy bar). Something to give a person an added lift and heightened brain function. The 12th C would stand for "Cure," in other words a small medical kit- like bandaids for cuts & blisters, lip balm, superglue (for closing lacerations), and even medicines for pain or anyone afflicted with a chronic disease (asthma, diabetes). Makes a lot of sense, yes?

[@StingyPrepper]

Awesome tribute to Dave Canterbury and its 10 C's. Definitely a great teacher, just like you Cliff!

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

Glad you liked it!

[@graveseeker]

First Aid kit plus tourniquet and Israeli pressure bandage, broad brimmed hat, mosquito netting, mechanics' gloves, shades, area maps to go with the compass, backup light source, backup knife (folding), sharpening stone.

[@patrickbedruz6475]

Well done video, efficient and direct to the point!

[@samuelpope7798]

One thing I would add and usually count with the C for compass is appropriate maps. Road maps and USGS maps of the area. You can download USGS maps for free and put in a weather proof map case.

[@Ddabig40mac]

10 C's is a good baseline for establishing gear and skillset for wilderness survival. I am interested in your adaptations for urban/suburban area. "C"ommunication, and "C"ash come to mind.

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

I will be coming out with a 10 C's of URBAN Survival in 2 videos from now.

[@anchorageprepper9008]

You can’t beat the old Army wool blankets 👍👍

[@Kallys23]

Nice run through of the essential 10Cs. Arcturus makes good gear, I appreciate mention of their blanket. I am one to backup my backup. I try to always have multiple ways and means to accomplish any task.

[@CelticSaint]

I think the time for going on 'survival courses' is over. We are NOW in a survival situation. This is it.

[@cluelessbushcraft]

The mora companion is not an adequate knife tho. It doesn't have a full tang and does not have a 90 degree spine either.

[@randallkelley3599]

Can't wait for the rest of your vids. This sounds seriously interesting.

[@shaylasmith3935]

Thank you, well done!

[@RoyceKitts]

Fun video. Just went through all my gear and had all the stuff. Now it lives in a backpack I don’t use often. Ready for some fun and games.

[@cautious1343]

Nice rundown! Thanks.

[@asolomon15]

Thanks for posting this... Outstanding information.

[@simonwinwood]

❤ I love The Urban Prepper 🎉

[@captainjimstrattonusmc]

Thanks

[@05generic]

I'm looking forward to your urban version. Urban and rural/"sticks" areas are both options for me, depending on circumstances.

[@dierampe]

wow that was a hell of a video. So much good stuff and so compact, like a high quality multi tool. really liked it.

[@jito7377]

I'm thrilled for your take on the urban C's!

[@gotsteem]

I've been a follower for several years now. Good stuff as always! Thanks.

[@jadestar1580]

Thank you for the video.

[@andreabeth]

Yes to gorilla tape!! My friend and I taped her husband's head wound back together while we were hours away from civilization on a group hunting trip. Later that evening at the hospital, the nurse said we did an amazing job.

[@interdimensionalerrante690]

Really good video, I love it

[@Isheian]

BPS knives about about the same cost as Mora, but are full tang. I’d highly recommend them.

[@syvs4491]

Thank you for sharing!

[@RobinP556]

Thanks for the video. As someone that’s been through SERE School I look at most of these schools as scam artists, but he lists Joshua Enyart as one of his instructors. The man is top notch with bushcraft skills with a great reputation among the Special Forces community.

[@joelareddola4946]

I’m a huge fan of of the pathfinder system. The 10c’s is a baseline of what you need. He delves deeper with 5 tool rule etc etc. One thing to keep in mind when taking the class is make sure your physically fit and know your gear inside and out. I’m planning to take the class and I know at the moment my pack with required gear, food,water and a sleep system (hammock) I need work. I’ve been rucking with 20 pounds in my pack walking 5k is hard for me. The website says be able to hike with up to 50 pounds pack weight and in all kinds of terrain. Don’t go in think basic is easy.

[@LiliumBosniacum1921]

This is one of the most informative videos that I watched lately. Thanks man. Cheers.

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

Wow! Thank you so much!

[@michaelgatford6194]

Great video Jeff. Dave is a legend and a definite go to for all bushcrafting knowledge. I hope you do manage to do his cause one day.

[@pdamartialarts8045]

[@bradcement3068]

Training with your gear is very important. Good video content. Thanks.

[@dg702079]

Great video. I was just looking at his videos lastnight on the very subject. Thanks for the past references you mentioned him.

[@longrider42]

Back in the 80's, I used to teach Wilderness Survival. I learned from an Army Ranger. And then I taught what he taught me, plus my own insights. When I think of survival, I think of going on a day hike, or a two to three day hike, and something going pear shaped and not being able to get out to a vehicle, or trail head. To that end, some of the items he includes in his 10 C's, is not needed. Like the sewing needed, and cargo tape, yes they might have a use, but I do not consider them needed in the 10 C's. Also I was taught that one is none, and two is one. So for cutting I carry a Swiss Army knife, the Deluxe Tinker and a old Gerber Multi Tool. These are with me when I leave the house. When I hike I also carry a good sheath knife, and I have over 40 to choose from, a tomahawk, and the Stanley Folding Pocket Saw. Look that one up, its really nice. I just wonder why Mister Canterbury is so specific on what to bring. I'd like to observe his class before taking it.

[@MarilynStangl]

Mr. Canterbury is giving them as suggestions! For example, you could bring matches instead of a lighter or a hatchet instead of a folding saw! The sewing kit and cargo tape are both items that potential multiple uses!

[@butterflysugarbby]

Thank you!

[@Jean_W]

Another great video!!

[@PewPrepTrek]

Very nice job as always, Cliff! The video was very informative and entertaining. I'm definitely looking forward to the next parts in this series. Well done and keep up the excellent work, brother. 👊

[@marygallagher3428]

Helpful video, thanks!

[@cfus8987]

Great video! I cannot wait to see your video for prepping within URBAN areas.

[@gwestlun]

Cliff, may I ask why are you talking faster in your videos? I have been following you for 7 years and really enjoy everyone and the pdf's you create! Excellent work, thanks!!

[@skyclown1]

This is a good list and I'm sure there is a debate amongst preppers as to what to add to, or take away from this list. My $.02 is a way to obtain drinking water. Either a heating system to boil or filtering system.

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

I agree! I cover this in the next video.

[@skyclown1]

Awesome, thanks for the reply. Good video.

[@BigRed-oi6ky]

Solid Video. Awesome passing on the knowledge.

[@mitchblackmore5230]

Nice video. You might want to stress 'single walled stainless steel bottle'. A ton of people obviously carry insulated dual wall SS bottles with them, and they won't be copacetic to boiling water.

[@PirateAgonistes]

The ten Cs go further back. Richard Graves has them in his bushcraft book from 1975.

[@EverettVinzant]

You said the Dave Canterbury recommends a non coated blade. You said he also recommends the bushcraft black (or the High Carbon Garberg on the website/KZbin vids). Both have coated blades…

[@grandmaprepper3212]

Great information! Taking notes! Thank you so much!!!!

[@toml.8210]

Before you start buying things learn soime basics, like knot tying, fire making, first aid, etc., then start trying your hand at survival in the yard or a farm, local park, and go onward from there.

[@marchills4131]

The interesting thing about the whole idea of a survival kit is it's *so* situational. Fleeing a natural disaster where you end up at a motel or a public emergency shelter might place an emphasis on things like a spare change of underwear and a power bank for your cell phone. Fire starting tools and a compass might well be nigh near worthless to you. On the other hand, a survival kit for a lost hiker would make things like a whistle and signal mirror paramount. Any sort of personalized survival kit begins with an honest risk assessment based on your personal circumstances. Dave Canterbury's 10's C's of survival make sense only if you first determine if there's a scenario in your personal life that would realistically put you in a wilderness survival situation. And just as importantly, whether you're willing to carry those 10 C's with you *every time* you hit the trailhead. Looking forward to Cliff's follow up video customizing Dave C's survival list to the urban evac scenario. And by the by, let's implement that drinking game during one of your live streams, Cliff. Should make the chat box extra interesting. :)

[@EatCarbs]

I've seen the Ten C's videos many times. I normally put my packs together with them in mind. Some of the C's you listed have changed though. Cargo Needle has replaced combination tool. Thanks for the video brother

[@DePe1987]

I know Dave Canterbury from thw tv-show "Survival Duo" with Cody Lundin ten years ago... wow, he is old yet ;-)

[@amarmot3635]

Got to have a Sawyer Squeeze and 33.8 oz. Smart Water bottle. Those are non-negotiable. You won’t get far drinking dirty lake, stream, or ditch water.

[@sparrowflying864]

I would recommend a bullet proof knife too and it wouldn't be a mora. If you wanted to carry a mora along with a bullet proof knife then that's ok. But i wouldn't count soley on a mora especially not a full tang one.

[@kan-zee]

Over 500$ usd, is all you need to purchase all the course items from his store. Awesome.

[@DeadZeroGameing]

can this be used for a stand alone basic bug out bag for lightweight

[@leonardogranados2733]

Cliff, good video. I guess the bottle water is a single wall. Is that correct ? Regards

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

It should be, if you want to use it for boiling water. This one was just a prop. In the next video I show a different bottle that I prefer.

[@knifetex]

I don’t even drink anymore and I got hammered! Haha, great video!

[@kollurubharathsimha539]

Bro add an another 'c' that is chemicals like pottasium permanganate and glycerine . both can be used to separately if u combine them the chemical reaction causes the fire or exothermic reaction and pottasium permanganate for clean water and glycerine for skin

[@stolasgoetia93]

That Gorilla tape is some good stuff I really only use that for my ducttape needs.

[@NotUndertaleAaron]

It’s missing a c, contact and comms. But still a great list!

[@sarge27271]

Very well done. Love your kits :-) From experience, I will tell you, buy an EXCELLENT HEADLAMP! Not a $20 one. I bought 5 or 6 of those, (Petzl, Princeton Tec, etc) and all of them failed at the switch. They're not designed for heavy use. Which means they're not tough. In an emergency, what are the odds you'll drop it, knock it, etc.....Soo, get a tough light. Also, the use of AAA batteries is ridiculous. Having on average 700 mah, they don't last long. Get an Olight, Nitecore, Thrunite, yes you'll spend $60 to $120 depending on the model, but they will last, can take a beating and MOST IMPORTANT, will work when you NEED THEM!!! Cheers

[@dannyh9010]

I took the Pathfinder Basic Course. It was awesome. Dave has potable water for Basic Class students. No need to bring that.

Do you know, by any chance, where i can get a quality wool (at least 80% wool) blanket for under $50? The ones I've found turn out to be very thin blankets w very little WOOL. Thanks for all your helpful vids.

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

They're tough to find online for less than $50. Most are more than $100. I usually just get blankets at the military surplus store.

Love Dave. My favorite Davism was "Cody keeps calling me a hillbilly. I prefer the politically correct term, Appalachian American" ROFL Second favorite was "if I am injured and I can't fix it with a bandana and some duct tape, then I am gonna need a medivac"

[@josephdonais3436]

Having 2L of water is the time one should be looking for a water source. Don't look for it right away and you will be in the same boat as if you brought none at all. Keep it in mind while your putting it off.

Candling, not Combination tool. He specifically suggests a headlamp. I think the Combination tool SHOULD be included as a redundant Cutting tool like a 10x magnifier as a redundant Combustion tool.

[@cliffordodel]

Where's the slow down button on youtube at?

[@anitavaughn1968]

If someone bugs out, where are they supposed to go?

[@graveseeker]

Everybody needs a bug out location (BOL) or even several. Your BOL could be a friend's place across town or a relative's home in another state. It could be a motel you've scoped out in various directions. It could be a little hideaway in the mountains or a nearby forest. Even better, it could be a gathering spot where your team will go (there is safety in numbers). Type 'bug out locations' in a browser window or the KZbin search window and you'll find enough material to keep you busy for weeks. Add urban prepper to those searches for trustworthy information.

[@Dan.Solo.Chicago]

Those great big six inch Ferro rods give people the wrong idea. It’s not supposed to be your go to, primary fire source. It’s a last resort. For when everything else is gone. I don’t carry a great big phallic ferro rod, I carry a couple little 1”-2”, and try to keep them in a place where if I somehow loose everything else I brought with me, I’ll still have that to rely on. That’s the point of any survival tool. I make sure that if everything I have gets lost, I’ll still have a knife and a Ferro rod, because that’s the situation they’re meant for. Anything other use of a Ferro rod is just practice or fun, because it’s not enough to just have something, you need to actually know how to use it.

[@trus8363]

Why were you talking so fast? Lol 😆I thought my KZbin settings were off.

[@BroMorris0341]

Sounds like we're gonna have to get together and compare notes soon.

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

Yes we do!

[@frank_jk]

Interesting. Honestly though, this sounds like a more complicated, but less useful “10 essentials” that the Mountaineers promote for outdoor activities.

[@mikeblades]

i don't think you mentioned DAVE CANTERBURY enough :)

[@brianodell1043]

Your compass does not have a mirror, he says the suunto because it has a mirror and a magnifying lens on it

[@jovenalasis4468]

If I have to guess, we might end up adding more C's if we adapt Dave's 10 C's of Survivability in an urban setting. As one of the guys who left a comment mentioned, one C would be cash, which I think will include credit cards, gift cards, and ATM cards. If I have to guess, you can group the personal hygiene items under Cleaning. Perhaps another C would credentials: IDs and keys that allow you to be recognized by police and security personnel and have access to places like your office or your house. Sometimes, an having your office ID means the difference between gaining entrace to your office if you can't go home or spending a miserable night outside. Another C would be communications, such as a mobile phone. Sure, you will not die if you lose your cellphone, but it allows you to call for help. One C which will likely be controversial will be combat items: guns, pepper spray, etc. I think another C would be casualty care items used to address shock, such as a tourniquet, combat gauze, chest seals, etc.

[@Wandrew223]

It’s almost distracting the amount of times Cliff says Dave Canterbury Is there a reason or purpose to say his name that many times It was clear very early on who made these recommendations so is there some other reason? Long time subscriber and I enjoy the channel Just an observation and I’m only at the halfway point of this video

[@TheUrbanPrepper]

Thanks for the long time support of my channel! I recorded this video in 30 minutes and did multiple takes of each segment, with slight variations on each take. I then crop it down during editing. You don't really notice certain repeated words when you are recording it but they stand out after cropping it down to the final video length. That's what happened with this one.
