And the scanda surrounding those people worse than anything of Duel Survival, and it runs deep... we've only seeing the beginning of what's about to unfold.

At the age of 4 in 1982 myself my mother and 2 sisters drove my father to meet his ride for work. That was the last we saw of him. Disappeared. He was a farmer. He farmed on halves with landowners harvest wheat and soybeans they had planted. After the crops were sold he was to deliver the land owners share. Instead he took it and ran. 15 years later he's found. Alive and well and unconcerned with what and whom he left behind. He served prison time. From the age I could be angry I remaind hatefully bitter till the age of 31. I finally realized my hatred separated me from God. I forgave him. This forgiveness was the healing to my spirit.

His skills of course are unquestioned.

I have much to say about this but, honestly, it's screaming in the wind. I will say this though, claiming training that you don't have isn't "stolen valor" and screaming it like a school child does nothing but cheapens true valor. If you claim a medal of honor wrongly that's stolen valor. It tears down true valor with a lie. Dave didn't do that. He just claimed training that he didn't have. That's wrong and he knows it. I've seen the apology video and as someone who served I can forgive him and still call him brother. He did serve and as far as I can tell served well. That demands respect. To apologize in a public forum that your family will see takes more heart that many here have. To lie takes a small man. To refuse to forgive takes a smaller man. Grace is a beautiful thing.

Excellent point about "training vs medals". Personally, as a 10 yr military very with an honorable discharge myself, I'll more then a little sick of all the military worship. I stop everyone that says "Thank You for your service". I think it cheapens everyone else out there that does a shitty job so we don't have to. When was the last time you thanked the guy that picks up your garbage for HIS service? Grovelling to the military is government propaganda. So when the time comes time comes that the Army ends up on the streets kicking your door in someday in the future, you lie down and start kicking boots. Truth hurts. Everyone also misses ONE MAJOR POINT: Dave doesnt sell knowledge based on "having done or learned it in the military". Anywhere. And if he HADN'T done it.... how many people would not have learned from him over the past few years? People need to grow up.

I proffer this opinion unrelated to the specific subject, but merely as a position on the argument. Apologizing does not make everything ok. If you could apologize for murdering someone, or selling crack to a junkie, we would not be the world leader in percentage of population incarcerated. If you misrepresent yourself for personal advantage, that's wrong. No amount of apologizing makes it better. The Bible is, at best, skewed in its position as a handbook for morality. Guilt fluctuates from doctrine to doctrine; shame resonates equally regardless of belief. The position of one who casts light upon that shame is irrelevant to the original shamefullness of the act. No hypocrisy here, no cowardice, just an open hearted desire to see argument take place, as it should, from a position of not knowing.

I don’t watch those survival reality shows, mostly because every three seconds, I’d be having someone file a FOIA on prospective phonies. For example, there’s David Canterbury who left, Discovery Channel’s “Dual Survival” years a go. He claimed to be a a sniper, airborne, and a “scout”, whatever he thinks that is. Here’s his resume`.Turns out, he was an MP, not that there’s anything wrong with that, but a 2-week Army Special Reaction Team sniper course at Fort McClellan, is not Sniper School at Fort Benning. His assignments were as an MP in Korea and Fort Carson, which means he arrested grunts out after curfew (in Korea) and wrote tickets for California stops at stop signs (at Ft Carson). And, oh yeah, no basic airborne school. It appears that he was let go from the show because of the lies.sorry this is stolen valor

Having worked with drug addicts, prostitutes, and even made some bad choices myself, I am quick to forgive. After all who wants to be held down? Build people up, and let their lesson be something to learn from. 1 John 1:9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. And Matthew 7 and Luke 6 have verses that speak about how we should do as we wish that others would do to us, do so to them. It's way to easy to point out someone else's errors, however bad. But as a Christian I strive to build people up, and in doing so help them to be all the Lord would have them be. Sure appreciate that my friends and family have done this with me.

No dog in this, however, he's the one that has to live with it ... makes no difference to me.

That's a really touchy zone - and when you've used that information to beef your profile so you can go on Television claiming experience you don't have - that's another level altogether. Seems to me some people are keen to excuse the error because it helps them feel better about the skeletons in their own closet ... guilt and shame takes care of the rest. He apologised because he got caught ... not the same as coming clean and making an apology before the fact. That very detail matters in a Court of Law for a very good reason ...

Banning people who trust you because they don't trust a liar? I understand if they're causing issues on your comments. You're entitled to keep a clean discussion. However, I find Canterbury very disingenuous. I gave parts of myself on the battlefield and I go to the VA almost every week because of it. I would say this to your face or to Mr. Canterbury's. If I get the chance to I will. My brothers, my sisters, my friends who DID have the valor, honor, awards, and schools that Canterbury claims to have had do not deserve his siphoning off their valor and honor. His actions discredit servicemen and make it harder for us to get jobs and to integrate into society. We generally don't talk about our service because inevitably you hear 3 guys at a bar claim to be navy seals or green berets. Then they get defensive and their friends defend them when you ask what unit they were in and where they served and if they knew so and so. He didn't come out and apologize because he felt bad for what he had done. He came out and apologized to attempt to save his brand. He IS a liar and he only told the truth because he was outed. You can be friends with him if you want. You know the situation and you make your choice. My only request is that you understand with a heavy heart that we, who lived through war and those schools and hold the honor and valor he claims are pained by these admissions and it actually hurts all of us in real life. Not some butt hurt feelings on a keyboard but actual visible problems. Do you think it's a coincidence that the president has to coerce companies into hiring veterans? I've had a company refuse to hire me because they had been burned by too many people lying and pretending to be veterans and that they didn't want to spend the money on verification and thus just decided not to hire ANY vets. What do you think this does to our families and our lives? please in the future, think of all the consequences of someones actions before going on a rant and calling us cowards and banning us from your page. (if they're rude then by all means, no one needs to be rude here). like I said before, you are an adult, you choose what you want to do. If people want to stop watching you because they disagree with who you are friends with. Then let them. But don't accuse those of us who criticize a known and admitted liar and valor thief when we have REAL actionable concerns. He's seriously lucky he was a celebrity because there is REAL jail time for the things he did. I didn't plan on talking, but your rant made me chime in. I am a veteran and I have held those who did do what Dave claims to have done in my arms and did what I could to console them, many of whom died or are now missing limbs. Dave has stolen from them. I know you don't like thieves and I know you're christian and will give people 2nd chances. Practice what you preach and be prepared to forgive those that had outbursts over your affiliation and protecting a known liar and thief.

that does NOT make sense, he never STOLE VALOR, or faked medals or none of that, he simply said he had a bit of training that he did not, and he DID serve in the military and did so very well. he is not a cheat, or a valor thief, he did not disrespect the military or dishonor it in anyway, he simply stated he had training that was stretched a bit, as he obviously i hope had recieved more then enough training to call himself an expert, and you are definetly the first miltary person ive seen on here say such things toward him, but it seems each person ive seen saying negative things toward dave, are all taking what happing completely out of context, and fitting to how the world is beginning to turn as people over exagerate minor issues, and a large portion of those same people typically twist things to seem more GLAMOUROUS to the media (meaning they are adding or changing the truths into appearing to be far worse then it is) but to even beging to say he STOLE VALOR is wrong in everyway, i have a thing or 2 i can say about valor as well, considering my family has been military since they rode horse and carried swords. my fatehr, my grandfather great grandfather and greatgreat grandfather, not counting all the other not so close family, you im sure understand what im saying. and i do not take what happened with dave more then, he was simply in survivor mode, and made a not so good choice to try and ensure he could better the life of not himself, but more so his family. and by him making a video, unscpripted directly to the world makes him far far more of a man, then any military or outdoors experience combined ever could, that is something that you do NOT see anymore, and 1 out of about 50,000 people would be man enough to do this these days, it seems to society the best thing to have done was lie to the bitter end, and lie so much they are unable to tell where the lie ends and the truth begins, thats the NORM of humans these days, unfotunetly. it was ok for our government to lie from day one, lie and just purely fabricate propaganda to ban such substances as cannabis etc, and it seem to this day you see not one single thing about it, a man bends the truth a bit to try and ensure the future of his family financially, not like he made millions btw and its treated as tho he spied for the russians or something..

"And I have blocked many of you " . . . . TRANSLATION . . . . that's right, because I have the power to censor opinion and shape the story as I want it told. LOL Dude . . . if YOU had any character or integrity yourself, you would have dropped Dave Canterbury for being the reprehensible liar that he is. The fact that he is still promoting himself and that you are enabling him says a lot about the "bushcraft industry" and you, cupcake. I'm a retired Army officer, pal.

Well said. Scripture is truth. I have to say when the information about Dave first came out I was VERY upset with him and did voice my opinion on what he/they (the show) did. Being an Army combat veteran of Iraq, and very sensitive to the whole stolen valor issue I admit I did leave some heartfelt comments about Dave and what I thought at that time about him. Nothing nasty or gratuitous mind you, just a "from the heart" outpouring of profound letdown. Since that time, Dave of course has apologized and I of course accepted it as genuine which I believe it was and is and I forgave him personally. I have watched Dave for years and will continue to do so as I believe as you do that he has incredible information and skill to share and is one of the good guys on KZbin. I honestly believe that whatever showed up in the "resume" was most likely something Dave was pressured into including by the producers of that show. It's Hollywood after all, full of possibly the worst people on Earth, no surprise there. Why did he accept it? Well, TO FEED HIS FAMILY and make their lives better. Did he make a mistake, YUP! Did he do it for the right reasons? You bet! Forgiving him and moving on is a personal choice and I am not afraid to say that I have. Do I expect everyone to? Nope. Especially the TROLLS, but that is what a TROLL does. They gain self worth by denigrating others. Their lives are SO PATHETIC that all they seem to have left is hate. Well, good luck with that.

What he did is embarrassing. I just saw him comment on a kids video ripping on him for using a metal hammer on a wood chisel. Who is he to make fun of someone for trying or learning. As for calling us cowards and hypocrites and calling us out face to face....... Careful what you wish for. As my old man always said their is always going to be someone bigger stronger and tougher then you are, so choose your fights wisely. Not very Christian of you to call people cowards that you have never met before either. Unsubscribed and I'll spread the word along. Cheers

Imagine publicly ridiculing every person who at one time in their life embellished a resume! Then it turns out the guy they replaced Dave with fudged some of his military record too. I’m sure they both were thinking, where is the harm in pumping up a resume for a tv show? You aren’t going to be taking oaths or anything. As far as survival skills I think they both demonstrated adequate skill in starting a fire, building a temporary shelter and sourcing water. If they were hired solely on that specific military experience to protect a civilian in a dangerous situation then punishment may be in order. To be cast on a reality tv show I’m not nearly as concerned about, if at all.

This is one of the reasons why I cancelled my subscription to Wranglestar. You sir, put yourself out into the public eye of your own accord. I have learned a great deal from you, in more ways than one. But you whimper & whine and cry and complain so much about what people say in the comment section, that I become annoyed, aggravated, and suddenly disinterested in spending my time listening to it. When someone in the public eye compromises their integrity, in this case David Canterbury, the public is going to react; that is the nature of the beast, and no scripture is going to protect that person. I'm a retired, career soldier; and what Mr. Canterbury did, hits harder on us than any demographic in the nation. But as individuals, we have to decide for ourselves, when the time is appropriate to forgive. Some people do not know what that word means, or they have great difficulty with it; but these people did not cause the infraction in the first place. They are voicing their opinions, no matter how ridiculous those opinions may sound, and you have no right to publicly bad-mouth them in the way that you did. An intelligent man would have ignored such behavioral comments; or at the very least, considered a more tactful and influential response for the viewership. Unfortunately, you made this video more about you, than Mr. Canterbury, or the people who's comments angered you. This isn't about who's a hypocrite or a bad guy, or a good guy, or the mistakes we all make, or the idea of transferring information in a public forum, or even celebrity; it's about wisdom, tolerance, acceptance, and the precise moment when to raise the hammer, or lay it down. There are a great deal of intolerant people out there............ as a public person, you must find the corresponding discipline to negotiate your public life with them, and everybody else you expect to tune into your videos of values and educational expertise . If you read this, my sincere best wishes for you and your family on this eve of the New Year. God Bless

Me do worse than lieing? Wanna look into my closet? wow how much time you got. i think my skeletons got skeletons by now, lol. at the end of the day Dave is a great guy with a great channel and i have nothing but the utmost respect for him. Way back even before he did duel survivor i joined his website and there was some problems processing my payment he worked so hard and diligently on my behalf i knew right then this guy has not only integrity (which seems to be seriously lacking now a days) but the determination to get things done. Honestly i have never looked back. Any way thanks for letting even a non subscriber rant. peace.

I never care much about the minor details about a man's life. I study the broad strokes of a man's life before I make conclusions. I am pleased that Wranglerstar had the courage to call the extreme critics "hypocrites". I am honored to watch both Wranglerstar and Dave Canterbury, who are both among the finest authorities on bushcraft and gear that I have ever seen.

Lying on one's resume isn't a "mistake", it's a deliberate act to deceive. Geting dates wrong, especially if it was many years ago, thát could be a legitimate mistake, but including something you have not done at áll is not a "mistake". Because if lying on one's resume is now acceptable I'm going to include helicopter pilot on my resume for now on. And if I get away with it for a while I'm going to include "....with combat experience". No harm done, right, it's just a little "mistake" after all!

He was only ever military police for 6 years, but said he was a ranger, airborne, and had received all kinds of training. Like sniper and survival training, which he did take among other training, but it wasn't the training he claimed it to be. Apparently he worked with rangers, and during that time he felt like one? Regardless of what he said, he still actually served and anyone saying he didn't is full of shit. Or they'll say "he was only MP" which is very pathetic. All jobs matter in the military, but some people seem to think that if you're not a soldier going Rambo in a jungle you're not a soldier at all.

ok mate. got it. So he was a copper in the mob, they are tough bastards, we all know that (well RMP are any case) he policed on a Ranger base or something i am guessing, probably worked out with them and so forth.

I thought I was going to be upset when this video came up. It’s easy to say I have KZbin skills and pretend i can do it because you saw it on tv. Dave has set my baseline of learning and more importantly.. mentality. Thanks Dave. I don’t always agree but I learn; and I have learned a whole lot. Coming from a 40 year old boy scout with dirt on his hands, I respect the fact that knowledge can be passed on. Use what you have ladies and gentlemen. And never stop listening. It’s free.

These Hollywood producers hold the reality stars to a whole different standard than the "stars" that appear in the sit coms and movies. From Dave to several from Swamp People as well as others. Makes me question what the producers put on THEIR resumes and how they can look the other way when it comes to Hollywood actors and all their trashy ways.

It's not about skeletons in your closet...it's about him claiming to have training that he never received. It's not about bad things he did or anything like that. If I liked to millions of people, I would be to blame....and the reaction of the people is totally justified. Point is, this whole video was laughable. To defend man who claimed to be special forces or whatever it was, who then turned out to be lying.... people like myself who were in the military know we'll and good that you don't do that. It's a big deal...it's not a little white like this guy told. He liked about something major and people got pissed off. While he was in the military, he wasnt why he claimed to be afterwards. Hell, he wasn't even in during a time of war.... Stolen valor is something that I myself (being a veteran of a foreign war) will not stand for....no matter the reasons he had for lying, it's unacceptable. It's good that he apologized, but people act like that just makes everything all better...it does not. He has lost my respect and the respect of millions of others. Especially people who have and are currently serving in our armed forces.

You don't know that they've lied. This is baseless. I like the channel, I don't know Dave Canterbury and so, when I saw that pretty cool axe I didn't comment, I just liked the video and moved on. Yet you saying that 'they' should not condemn Dave Canterbury because the commenters do not know him, before going on to insult and generalise the commenters yourself is hypercritical (since you do not know them). Of course we all get angry and upset, and that's fine, but I think that going out of your way to belittle others is off.

I am a disabled vet and the older I get the worse It gets. My medical problems are service connected and it is getting pretty difficult to even walk anymore. I have been going to physical therapy everyday for the longest time until the corona hit and I have not been since. So movement is very limited right now. I dont really see myself as anything other than that idiot who let himself get banged aound pretty good. There are those that define themselves by what they did in service to our country. So if those people wanna hold him accountable for his stolen valor I wont judge them. I am a little disapointed in this channels attitude towards it but I will discount my feelings because I know how internet trolls can get under your skin! So, in short.. Dave can have my place teaching those skills. I am too broken and it needs taught to anyone who will listen!
