BASIC SURVIVAL, What to expect from The Pathfinder School

[@cephasmcpher67peteroutdoorspip]

I think the way to being not only a good outdoorsman but successful in life in general is to remain teachable. Congratulations on finishing the course. Love your channel.

[@UglyTent]

Thank you Peter for the encouragement, most appreciated. Kenny

Best review I've read on this course

[@slavkochepasov8134]

thanks, a picture worth 1000 words. Your video gave very good feeling on what to expect.

[@TonyPowers_Dirtbound]

This video helped prepare me for the basic class that I just took a week ago. Thanks brother

[@shawncrawford2979]

I was in the class with Kenny, his video is spot on. It did kick my butt.

[@UglyTent]

There’s my buddy! Thanks for watching Shawn, but I though you did great.

[@scottryker4888]

Im going to the basic class this year here in Texas, ultimate goal to become an instructor. Can't wait.

[@UglyTent]

Best of luck my friend, I hope you do well.

[@amyfletcher4749]

Looks like a great experience. Happy you were able to get in on it.

[@UglyTent]

Thanks Amy!

[@alexanderweaver4838]

Congratulations on completing the course! Thanks for sharing this video with us. I have always wanted to attend a survival course and this one looks like a winner especially with Dave Canterbury at the helm. I'm rather hesitant due to my age which is 71. I quit the long treks of backpacking (five continents) as the treks got more difficult to complete. Finding that bushcraft camping can be rewarding and fun, I've pursued it for the past year learning as I go from mistakes, trial and error and watching KZbin videos by veterans of the field. It's taken me this past year to acquire the essential gear and thanks to your video there are a couple of items I need to find.

[@UglyTent]

Thank you Alexander for comment and for watching. You sound like a very interesting person, that we all could learn from.

[@pubplays368]

I’m taking the instructor course. It’s gonna be a rough few months.

[@UglyTent]

Yes it will be, my hats off to ya. Best of luck and God’s speed.

[@pubplays368]

@@UglyTent Thank you. To you and yours as well.

[@dangudgeon3833]

Thank you for your videos, they were very helpful in preparing for the Pathfinder Basic class I just completed in June.

[@mr.fisher3973]

That was a very informative video - must have been great to meet not only Dave but Dan and Larry!!!!! Three great instructors I'm sure.

[@UglyTent]

Thank you! Yes it was a great bonus that we weren’t expecting.

[@Aceinthehole1179]

I was waiting to post something worth watching & giving tips on what to bring to eat. Great vid

[@UglyTent]

Thank you!

[@Crafty.Veteran.Survival]

Great video, new fan! I went through the Pathfinder Basic class in November, was a great time 👍

[@UglyTent]

Thank you very much, glad to have earned your sub!

[@TonyTooTuff]

I’m on my way up to Ohio next week to the Pathfinders Basic course. Thanks for the insight brother.

[@UglyTent]

You are welcome. Good luck!

[@ericjudd9603]

Thanks for sharing👍

[@shawncrowson1048]

I would seriously reevaluate everything if I had to quit on day one. I'm not going to be able to say I quit I'm going home in a survival situation.

[@55Quirll]

When you say it isn't cheap, I am reminded of the saying 'You get what you pay for' I have looked at the price on the website and I agree, it is pricing, but the knowledge and experience that you get is well worth the price. I would save up the money for all the items it would need - some millitary surplus, WWII items mixed with some modern day items and food (broken down MREs and other food stuffs either bought or home made - than for the course and to get there. Thanks for a good review. Hope you are doing well, take care.

[@blissbliss3531]

WOW......need to meet one of these fellas......Bravo !!!

[@UglyTent]

Thank you my friend!

[@BudgetGunsandGearReviews]

I'm taking the class in October. Looking forward to it!

[@UglyTent]

Awesome! It should be beautiful and cooler. Enjoy and learn a lot. Godspeed my friend.

[@cliffstewart6304]

The ideal place for a survival course is a small area of woods next door to a drive-in theater, and about a quarter mile from your house, with a McDonalds on one side, a Wendy's on the other, a Long John Silvers in the background and a Kentucky Fried Chicken just across the street. Now buddy that's what you call "ruffin' it"!!!

[@UglyTent]

😂 yep sounds like a good plan.

[@cliffstewart6304]

@@UglyTent .......Oh, by the way, good video...and congratulations. I forgot to say that in all my good ol' boy jibberish...I was too busy thinkin' of food. Sorry.

[@cstew64]

UglyTent Bushcraft & Survival Kenny, for a minute I had thought my KZbin was hacked or my identity was stolen lol. You had me so confused. The chances of another Cliff Stewart commenting on a video of yours is crazy. I get sidetracked thinking about food as well. Must be something about us people named Cliff Stewart hahaha.

[@UglyTent]

How lucky am I to have two Cliff Stewarts watching my videos! That’s awesome.

[@TheGrayManOG]

Too busy on the homestead or I would have been there. Thanks for sharing.

[@UglyTent]

Busy is good. Thanks for watching!

[@ThePreparedWanderer]

Thumbs up on the course review. Nicely done!

[@UglyTent]

Thanks man!

[@odelloutdoors3424]

Great video. I’m taking the class in the next few months so I’m gearing up. This was very helpful.

[@SpiritForest]

Been waiting for this video.. thanks for putting this together. Looks like a lot of fun!!

[@UglyTent]

Thanks T ❤️

[@MokuNui808]

So the second night where you had no fires, you had to hand over everything but the wool blanket or just your food?

[@DannyWalker1949]

Thank's for this Great video. This is a heck of a trial to see what a person know's and can do. Nice Job.

[@UglyTent]

Thank you Danny!

[@contentofcharacter]

Am I correct that the course was 4 days & 3 nights when you took it? I know it’s now 3 days & 2 nights.

[@quercus4730]

With today's gear fire is unnecessary if you are just packing a week or so and going to a known location. If you don't mind being seen fire is without a doubt one of the most important tools in the skill bag. Good video, Thank you.

[@UglyTent]

Thank you, good comment.

[@Nofixedabode859]

Hi buddy great video can u tell me wat the combination tool is, the tenth c has changed?

[@UglyTent]

I’m not sure your question, but I was using a Gerber multi-tool. Combination tool/multi-tool is used synonymously by Dave.

[@Nofixedabode859]

UglyTent Bushcraft & Survival sorry it just said on the board of 10 C's on your video 10th c combination tool which has changed but I thought if it's a multi tool that's a cutting tool which is the 1st c, sorry for confusion hope u understand now

[@matthewbailey8069]

Thanks for sharing this video! I will be taking this class in July this year. Question 1: Does the tent or hammock stay at the campsite or do you have to carry it with you during the class? Question 2: Should I bring stakes or should I not as they are not in the list?

[@UglyTent]

He allowed us to stay at the campsite for the first two night. After that pack up, take it to the car and carry what you need. You can always make stakes, but I took a few small lightweight ones.

[@michellesizemore1123]

Hey great vid i go to the basic class this October and I have the same wool blanket that you used how did it do thanks

[@UglyTent]

Awesome! Good luck with the class. I think it did ok, especially for the price. You should be fine.

[@chrisu.k9307]

I would love to do this course!

[@jimd9339]

How many miles were walked?

[@michellesizemore1123]

And did you guys pack the wool blanket the whole time wile hiking thanks

[@UglyTent]

Yes, you will have to carry your gear (all 10 C’s) the entire time. It’s a lot of work, but it helps you understand a lot about yourself and your gear (resources).

[@bowdiersackett6433]

Do they teach how to set for declination

[@UglyTent]

Yes

[@danpass12]

Thanks for the video! What is the timing for the course? (I would have to fly in). I can see it starts at 8am but when does it finish on the third day?

[@UglyTent]

I would check with The Pathfinder School and see what they tell you. They’re pretty good about working with students arrangements.

[@tm5aw357]

What’s the story on the yurt or journals of the yurt?

[@bowdiersackett6433]

Did you carry jacket's with you all the time or leave they back at camp till needed later

[@UglyTent]

Carried it and wore it.

[@OhHenrysMusic]

What was on the written exam?

[@MokuNui808]

Im surprised they let you record video. It may have been pricey for you but its expensive as hell for me because i would need to buy a round trip plane ticket, rental car, and the class fee lol. Its just too much for me right now

[@UglyTent]

I didn’t give any secrets of the course away. They pack it full of information and learning. So the little snippets I recorded doesn’t take away from anything. It isn’t cheap, but for me it worked out. I hope it works out for you as well eventually.

[@kan-zee]

1:23 On an average, how many hours did you hike, per day ? / what distance did you cover per day ? 10km / 6miles ?? or more per day? 5:06 *Journal of Yurt playlist =>* kzbin.info/www/bejne/m2Waf4B3qNuBl8k 5:50 ☕️😎👍💓gotta love dat *Morning Jet fuel* (aka instant coffee) Info on BASIC CLASS => www.selfrelianceoutfitters.com/products/basic-survival-class

[@thomasnugent7602]

Very good. Thank you very much

[@agnostichaos]

Weird question. Did anyone not have a wool blanket? I recently bought a couple blankets that are military wobbly style and really don’t want to drop the money for the blanket in addition to everything else.

[@UglyTent]

Everyone had a wool blanket, we used it for other things in the class. Also they do a gear inspection at the very beginning to ensure everyone has the 10 Cs

[@agnostichaos]

UglyTent Bushcraft & Survival Thanks for your response. I am going to be able to borrow a wool blanket.

[@bushwhackedsurvivor9713]

When walking, are you carrying all your camping gear or just 10 c for the second night test?

[@UglyTent]

You carry all the 10Cs the entire time, but camp at the shelter area for the first two nights. The third night it’s only with your kit.

[@parkergeurin]

Really awesome!

[@UglyTent]

Thank you!

[@TBOR101]

I could see you had a great time,Good for you man! Curious though, did I understand right?the cheap blanket wasn't a minus freezing blanket even with its weight.

[@UglyTent]

Thank you. Yes you are correct, it was a heavy wool blanket but I’m not sure how far down I would trust it (without a fire).

[@carldietrich3071]

I see a olive drab pouch in your background! That has my last name on it yah I'll be needing that back now lol wouldn't mind purchasing that from you?

[@UglyTent]

Cool! I would but that’s one of my originals from my uniform back in the day. Thanks for watching and for the comment!

[@kidbach]

congrats! so, when does the Ugly Tent Ugly Survival School start? ;-)

Lol. It made me realize just how far I’m away from that. But thanks for the vote of confidence.

A survival course shold not be about eating some kind of fooD fast. Eating food food fast u do in the military.
