Woodsman's Gear of the 20th Century Part 2

[@cillaloves2fish688]

Cool piece of history!

[@markatkinson9963]

Very cool kit.

[@mattmusselman5055]

Thats a great piece of history

[@chrisrip9957]

I am a south african and love the history you incorporate. You are a fantastic teacher, and I would love to do some of your courses.

[@SuperBlackheart99]

I'm so happy you did this one. I found one of these saws at the flea market 3 years ago. No makers mark or name on the saw itself & no packaging. I know it was old, but not that old. I love it too. It rides proudly in my quad trunk to take care of larger blow downs on the trails. Thanks as always Dave.

[@WayneTheSeine]

Hats off to you for helping preserve and refresh our history and also for highlighting individuals who made big contributions to the outdoorsman. Very good series David. Thanks!

[@ungratefulpeasant8085]

Great series Dave. This really represents the golden age of the woodsmen and outdoorsmen in our country. My grandfather was the ultimate woodsman, fished, hunted, and hiked just about every mountain out here in the PNW. I like to use gear of this eara when I am in the outddors, it makes me feel closer to my roots.

[@ericspratt3164]

All these years later and still some of the most informative and worthwhile content of its genre

[@DavidCanterbury]

Thank you

[@richwallace4632]

I glad you brought back the intro music.

[@YankeeWoodcraft]

I've been preaching it from the mountain tops. What's old is new again. Folks think that air mattresses and headlamps and lighters and sleeping bags are modern camping gear, but they were being used a century ago and being promoted by Abercrombie & Fitch Co among others. We look at aluminum pots today as vintage but back then, they were modern. As far as woodcraft goes, it was never meant to be "period correct". They utilized gear that was the latest & greatest tech at the time and they used household items and they used what was vintage to them, including military surplus (only their milsurp was Civil War era kit). And...LOVE the "vintage" intro here too. 👍

[@sosteve9113]

Agreed great intro imo

[@christopherlynn8255]

Love the new content, glad you brought back the old intro song!

[@kodiak1142]

Glad to see the"Living Good..." intro back.

[@BigBosley]

The full size Sawvivor I bought about 10 years ago in Canada is very similar, with a few improvements. Clearly a close copy. Works great, although I would change a few minor things. The 18 inch blade cuts everything in the rain forests here in WA State. I'd love to see a WO improved version the website.

[@burgesst44]

Wow!!! That is an awesome find Dave. I haven't seen one of those in years. My grandfather had one of those when I was a kid. Thanks for bringing back the memories brother.

[@martinparmer]

Fantastic Dave. Thanks for all you teach us

[@johnnybushman651]

Thanks Mr. Canterbury, Like part 1 & part 2 Can’t wait to see the others. 🦅🇺🇸

[@mlsknnr]

Nice! I have a Wyoming Saw that was given to me years ago for Christmas. It's a sweet little saw.

[@willybee3056]

It looked like there was enough room to store many different tooth style blades. As in , crosscut, ripping, green, dry, and meat/bone. Thanks, and keep up the good work.

[@wyattoneable]

Hello again Dave. Great series so far. I've been enjoying your channel for many years and the hits keep coming!

[@DavidCanterbury]

Thank you

[@blizte3]

I save old tools and use the again. thanks dave for another great video

[@treerat6959]

Thanks for sharing this little gem.

[@JesseAdams]

I bought the Boreal 21 on your recommendation a couple years ago and love it.

[@jamesellsworth9673]

Love this series. I have used a Sven Saw, a whole lot like this one, for decades. Of course, I would love to have the Adventure Sworn saw you mentioned, if I ever could catch the supply cycle on their site. For me, these beat the Japanese saws favored these days, except if one is trimming lower branches as an arborist.

[@DavidCanterbury]

I am a fan of the bucksaw for sure, IMO the Nick Stoll Saw is every bit as good as the adventure sworn you can find them on my web site or by looking him up on FB

[@mattwilcox3645]

@@DavidCanterbury ....compare to Silky saws?.....

[@Simon-vb6jb]

Great piece of kit, it looks like it stands up to most of the folding saws you see on the market today. Loving the new series keep them coming!

[@DavidCanterbury]

I would agree with that for sure

[@sosteve9113]

Great saw simple but great design

[@newageselfreliance]

I'm really enjoying this series. I have already been looking into finding some older gear.

[@matthewcooper5503]

Another great video Dave many thanks

[@drm57566]

I like that you have gone back to your original intro. Good video.

[@GrayBeardedGreenBeret]

That design has a ton of clearance, I bet you could buck an 8" log with that dude

[@DavidCanterbury]

I am as much of a Saw junkie as I am an Axe junkie LOL

[@GrayBeardedGreenBeret]

@@DavidCanterbury I am with you, I love me some tools. Especially vintage stuff

[@dwstrange334]

This is a great series. Thanks!

[@tomritter493]

Trapper Joe had a similar saw for his trap line here it was like 10 or 12 inch ! It was a cool piece so is that one thanks for showing it ! Not often you get to see gear that old and still useable ! Be good brother

[@richardjones180]

That was is in awesome condition for its age! That's great for any collection!

[@richardjones180]

[@tommywright7196]

Thank you for passing your knowledge along I enjoy all your videos although I haven't been watching a lot of them lately I have been trying to learn All I can about black smithing which is something your videos got me interested in

[@BLACKIETHOMAS]

thanks for shareing great bit of kit

[@JesseAdams]

It looks like you could insert the back of the blade forward of the wingnut in the rear slot then feed it forward into the hole because you're already in the slot. Then slot the front in. Just a thought but it looks like that's possibly a way to do it without risking dropping the wingnut and washer.

[@DavidCanterbury]

Problem is the bolt barley goes through the frame and not quite far enough for the blade to be in the slot until you get a few turns on the wing nut, It was in unused condition when I found it so there is still a lot to tension in the frame-

[@JesseAdams]

David Canterbury I wondered if that was possible because it is in excellent condition.

[@preacherjayk]

I have one of those, if you put the bolt end in first you don't need to take the nut and washer off..

[@RME1911]

Awesome man, love the history. anything that can take hard maple is pretty slick

[@mitchalgreen7244]

nice set up, hard to beat a bow saw, nice tip's.

[@cr0cket01]

very nice saw

[@KaylynnStrain]

very cool saw

[@BackwoodsRaised]

Very nice saw. I like the folding saw that survival lilly uses. I want to get one like it.

[@ronphillips6336]

Have been a fan for years, love bow saws. Always useful. Enjoying this series. And my knife from previous video, has thumb serrations, 2 brass rivits, and lanyard hole with dangle sheath. No markings?? Info would be great.

[@tonynapoli5549]

Thanks for sharing good old saw, nice class room 👌🇬🇧

[@shovelhead8]

I found a 36" swede saw frame that breaks into 2 pieces. Super solid. No idea who made t. I do like that little saw. I wonder how much it would cost in titanium. Thank you for the video

[@downeastprimitiveskills7688]

Of note, Dave, this blade doesn't have hardened teeth. it can be resharpened with ease. Whereas most new bow saw blades are hardened they are blued, and will wreck a file in short order. Am I mistake on this? The blade does look like it can be resharpened.

[@kentonlord5986]

Thank you this is a very interesting series.

[@MTwoodsrunner]

Hey thats a nice find...i can see where Bob Dustrude maybe got his inspiration from...thanks David

[@DavidCanterbury]

I would say that is true for sure, and many other saws including the Sven and the Norland used the same tensioning and wing nut system, like I have always said there isn't mush new in Bushcraft

[@BigTim_1970]

Great stuff David!

[@forthwithtx5852]

Cardboard tube a little shortsighted, and steel construction not exactly weight conscious, but a solid saw design.

[@jorgamund07]

Great series, thanks Dave.

[@valkryii]

similar to my Sven folding saw.

[@winfieldjohnson125]

I've seen what has to be a copy of this saw, only with an aluminum frame, for sale recently..... Good design.

[@thomasnugent7602]

Very good. Thank you very much

[@kevinedward1234]

Dave, nice info, nice video!!!!!

[@dcslapout5697]

Thank You for a bit of history

[@shanemccauley8354]

Great video love the vintage woodsman tools. When do you think you might do some more blacksmithing videos, oh by the way a good cheap starter steel for making your own tongs is slick rod for concrete they are 1/2” and come in stock lengths in 6” intervals so a pair of 18” are about $2.50 pretty cheap for a set of tongs

[@DavidCanterbury]

May be a while with all the travel, shop is tied up most of the time with my nephew making product for SRO at the moment

[@highiqretardbear33]

I would buy that thing right now. I bet it would be way cheaper than a Boreal 21. And you could make a toob for it out of PVC very easily.

[@thealabamabushcrafter6861]

Great video Dave, thanks for sharing brother !!!!

[@DavidCanterbury]

Thanks Bro

[@be6322]

Great video Dave!!

[@76GibsonExplorer]

Hey, Dave. Off topic, but I was wondering if you could do something on your top 5 or 10 books to read from historical to modern. Looking to put together a reading list for the winter. Preciate ya!

[@oneshotme]

Enjoyed your video and gave it a thumbs up

[@bugoutbubba3912]

What happened to our fall Dave? Guess I'll pray for a long Indian summer.

[@SpamMusubi308]

Nice good to see where these things have come from. Dave would you give us a detailed view of the saw over your right shoulder with the X patterned tensioner?

[@DavidCanterbury]

Yes we teach these saws in our Intermediate classes

[@SpamMusubi308]

@@DavidCanterbury ah! Very cool thanks Dave!

[@jhosk]

Like that saw, would love to have one made out of titanium.

[@chiefkirk]

That's way cool Dave. Thanks for sharing that pal. PS. Liked your theme song.

[@garybraches9936]

Hey Dave. Another great addition to the massive library of woodsman wisdom that you're creating and I'm learning from. But really...you have the beautiful bodger's bench that you made. Why are you sawing on your picnic table?

[@steamboatmodel]

A great design, does anyone make one like it in aluminum or titanium? First folding saw I had was a Sven Saw.

[@DavidCanterbury]

Boreal 21

[@aHigherPower]

Dave can you mention why you guys are not producing the Bushcraft PKS blade anymore?

[@DavidCanterbury]

We still produce the blade as a kit knife blank, we just don't produce the finished blade at this point as we have chosen to stick with out top sellers for a while in order to keep up with demand-

[@aHigherPower]

@@DavidCanterbury The differences I see between the 01 knife blank and the finished blade is the grind angle. I've recommended the finished blade to many because the blade grind angle is steeper on the finished blade Outfitters offered. I hope Outfitters will consider putting the same grind angle on the 01 blank so I can direct others to that blade. Thanks for responding.

[@terryhester8836]

Are you going to make a reproduction model of this saw if so a pvc tube would be cool

[@timberg7377]

Very cool

[@jamesshoffner409]

Like the coat ! where did you get it ?

[@Chaucerfaux1]

Question is, How long have you owned that buck saw,? little bit of petina on it but that bad boy is in pristene condition.

[@DavidCanterbury]

Owned about 5 years but do not use it as it is part of my collection, got plenty of saws to beat on that are not this rare-

[@Plain-Ole-Chuck]

looking to go the buck saw route.. tired of all the small folding saws

[@johnfuller6338]

That old Peters saw beats the heck out of the Sven saw for cutting thicker wood.

Handy saw 👍

You need to buy the patient rights and make them I would love to have one.

[@stevencali3539]

If it was patented in the 50s, then the patents are long expired. Anyone should be able to begin manufacture without any repercussions.

[@dutchcourage7312]

Interesting, if I hadn't seen this video I would have assumed folding bucksaws were something of the late 1990's … guess only 35+ years off
