I started teaching primitive living in 1976. It's nice to see I'm not the only old white haired guy out there still doing it. Thanks for your video and all the best.
Another good example of how survival supplies don't necessarily need to be expensive and exotic to be practical. Especially when all that expensive and exotic stuff disappears. Adapt, improvise, overcome. The key is to have SOMETHING, beginning with knowledge.
Indeed,you are correct!! Knowledge is prime n secondary, important..to know how / when to deploy the techniques learned here, n , in life's travels!! Be well,n, keep your powder dry!! 👍🐺🧙♂️🦊👍!!!!
Very interesting about the study he mentioned at the start of the video. I definitely notice a difference having something around my neck or not, and on my head of course. I never thought much about the waist, although I like my back being warm with a vest or something. But the waist wrap would protect the kidneys, so that makes perfect sense.
Gold diggers in Alaska called a similar pack the Yukon-pack. They had to haul everything needed for nine month of winter on their back upstream. They would wrap it up in a heavy duty canvas tarp, which was waterproof, as well as an axe, a shovel and washing pans, lot of beans, flour and lard and often times a rifle, black powder and lead to feed from hunting. It was certainly not as slim and lightweight, but no space and weight wasted for a carry-system. Always makes me smile seeing people that buy an expensive and heavy backback they can hardly lift, when just bare minimum gear is packed in there. All the best
Ummm. I'm Canadian and his history about Metis and Cajuns is a bit off. The Metis were a result of trappers reproducing with native women. They were located deeper in Canada due to the fur trade etc. True, they felt marginalized because they were neither native or European. The most famous Metis was Louis Riel who participated in 2 rebellions and was hanged as a traitor in Regina, Saskatchewan. The 1885 rebellion he led is now credited as leading to the creation of the Province of Manitoba. Ther was never any 'ethnic cleansing' action in Canada to remove 'half breeds'. As for 'Cajuns', they are descendent from the 'Acadians' (not 'Arcadians as he says in the video). Acadians were francophones living in the Maritimes (Atlantic coast) as opposed to deeper in Quebec. When the British began their conquest of New France (Canada) the first big victory was the capture of Louisburg in modern day Nova Scotia. This led to their conquest of the entire Atlantic coast. This left the Brits with a large French population to deal with during an active war. So, they uprooted them and transported them down to the French colony of Louisiana. Thus, the Acadians became Cajuns.
Matt Graham would love this. My backpack is worth the extra weight for accessibility. I can get to my fire starter in one pocket and stove in another and fishing gear in another. Another pouch has medical and toiletries. I don't need to open the entire pack for just one thing..
you do not have to. You can also lash important items to the outside of the pack or make a roll full of goodies and lash to the top for quick access. It takes creativity and saves on weight.
At boulder outdoor survival school, where Matt graham and Dave halladay were both instructors, we were taught to use this pack to hold everything we’d need at camp, and then used a “versacloth” (5’x5’ cut of fabric) to carry anything we’d need easy access to. I believe graham has a video on the versacloth
Reminds me of several little (but vital) classes I’ve attended when I was younger. My whole family hosted a tribal elder at a Pow Wow and he kindly taught all of us fire starting techniques. He directed the lessons to our younguns but the adults were just as attentive. Wonderful video and it was a pleasure to watch. Thank you Sir. Thank you.
That man right there is a living legend. When he talks people should listen. I'm also glad you got this on video. I've seen all sorts of BOSS instructors teach variations of this but I've never seen Dave teach this in all the years we've been doing trips. Usually, he doesn't bring anything equipment wise, so it's cool to watch him use gear. It's different. Thanks for catching this on video Jason.
I remember watching David Halladay (Holladay?) on Survivorman in the early 2000s. I still keep his factoid at the top of my mind, "when you're dehydrated you can sit next to fire all night and still be cold".
I have tied like that before although not quite so many wraps and I've also done the shoulder straps with string which begins to hurt after a while but basically I've done the same thing throughout my years of Woods Craft and hiking, backpacking with a cocoon, which is what I called them or chrysalis, looks the same but that was in my younger years I never did teach that particular bundle to anyone I just always done it for myself but it's a pretty good idea to teach and I think I may incorporate that while teaching my grandson, I like that. Thanks for the video brought back some good memories for me and I love it when I learn something and thank you so much I learned something today and that makes my day. Thanks again for the video, stay vigilant and by all means keep ye powder dry!
I love this system and have used it a lot. But it has at least two drawbacks: First, it’s a bit uncomfortable on the shoulders, which gets worse the longer you hike.It helps if you use no-stretch cord. Second, it takes time to assemble, which is bad news if you have to move at a moment’s notice. It is not suitable for a bug-out bag.
@@ONThree indeed,agreed!!! AND..if ya have to " bug out" at a moments notice...you did not plan and you will get ...? Fail to plan n the plan will fail!!! Bugout bag or not!!! Soooooo...PLAN!!!!!!!!!! 👍🐺🧙♂️🦊👍!!!
I think all comments missed the point. To stay alive. What to wrap to stay warm. He could of thrown everything he was not wearing in the center of blanket and pulled 4 corners together to move quick. Watch again. Don't be so judgmental. Yes back pack is good to have. Stay warm ..food.. Shelter.. interesting to find out if not pure-blooded native or French they got rid of them. That is something history did not tell us. This old man has a lot of wisdom to learn from yes we have new gizmos to make things easier but he has the very Essentials for survival
Something I am very surprised I never see added in any of these "survival" emergency kits (or any emergency kit) is a spare phone, battery bank, and solar charger. Why a phone? Because you can load maps on it and use it for navigation. You can use it as a compass. You can use it to communicate. You can save a whole lot of those medical and survival books on there. If you have to leave your home on short notice, you can save scanned copies of all your important stuff. You can do a lot with it. Many hand held batteries come with a light built in. You can use it to charge a lot of things when used with a small solar panel.
Agreed! The iPhone is a pretty incredible piece of technology. It can do so much to help you get out of a tight spot. It is part of my EDC for sure. Dave however, does not own a phone.
@@ONThree Not sure if either of you would be interested, but there is an OS for Google Pixel phones called Graphene OS. The goal is to remove or sandbox all the borderline Spyware stuff normally loaded onto stock versions of Android. It is compatible with most Android programs, so you don't run into issues other similar open source Android operating systems run into. The irony is that Google makes some of the most secure phone hardware, so they are currently focusing on developing for those phones only so that they can keep Google, Facebook, and whoever else in check. I mention it just in case privacy is what is keeping him from owning a modern phone.
I would never rely on any phone. That's a recipe for disaster. I don't care how many solar panels and doo-dads you have. Get a real, quality compass. Bombproof and they don't weigh much. Obviously, most of us will always have our phone on us but I would never rely on that for every little thing. And one accidental fall on it or drop it....you're done!
I suppose it would be handy but that’s only if we expect the mobile network to still be up and running and that wherever you are you have coverage if it is. I must admit mine goes with me but who knows if it will always be of use.
I wonder if the sash around his waist is actually keeping his kidneys warm. My mother would always nag about wearing a long singlet to keep my kidneys warm when I was a kid.
@@elizabethrose8510 I use sniper sling .07 thick latex sheets. I cut them myself. Make the pouches myself and tie them. If you watch enough RUclips videos, you can easily learn
I mean you lose heat from your extremities faster that your torso and core bc your heart has to pump warm blood from your center out. I’m not saying if there was a real test or not but ik i’ve never been like man my chest is cold but i’ve definitely wanted to get inside cuz of my hands, face, or feet where cold.
Should you ask your neighbor’s permission before you start the test?? 😅😅 I’m sure ours thinks I’m crazy when he sees me in the yard in spring with my plant books, munching on “weeds”.
@Duffelbag Drag I’m not so sure…the Army does a lot of stupid shit, all done on “volunteers” of course! Hope you survived ok and have a good retirement, 4 years was enough for me.

Hi ; I passed the Viet Nam war, I do better than that, but you think what country a u living in, 1] what climate require for shelter, 2] for food, the main is salt rice or any dries grains you use to eat + dries ingredient , 3] dries meat or find the ways you go have on hand, the total weight less than 45 kilograms maybe 80 lbs, if it heavy more than that you will throw away when far a long walk, but depending on how much you can care but have to be less, because you will have weapon to produce more weight to caring on, but this method for war only, for relax camping no war is depending on your mind, very good show Sir 2 T up .
Dave has been on all kinds of shows. If I’m not mistaken, he trained Cody. He has worked on Survivorman with Les Stroud and showed Tom Hanks the fire plow in the movie Castaway.

Anywhere the arteries are close to the skin. Lots of heat loss through the circulation system. Those gloves better cover the forearms,
