Hello Dave, i am chilean and always watch your videos. You are great, i learn a lot and put into practice your techniques with my sons. Thank you my friend. Greetings from Chile!!!!
Thank you, Dave for all your videos. Your Pathfinder store is the best on the web. I always check for new products and vids. You sure work hard at what you do. No one can ever say you are afraid to try something new or should I say, old.. I never seen so many things you come up with. I enjoy watching. I am a pastor and it sure helps me wind down at night. God Bless!
I like how much knowledge your videos contain - even simple things like wrapping a green stick in a bandanna to prevent it from slipping. Thanks for everything.
Wow nice technique and so simple!! Taking family out on an overnight this weekend and will be trying this with my little ones!! What a great weekend with the family doing somthing so simple. Thanks Dave as always!
Great video, Dave. Always learn something from you or at least improve something I might already know. I hope you don't plan stopping this RUclips thing anytime soon. Keep up the great work, Brother. Thanks for all the help you provide. Definitely my biggest role model and mentor.
Gotta say, Ive watched all of your videos at least 5 times and they never get old. Always coming up with very useful and interesting ideas. Now i gotta get me some dirt time and give this one a go! thanks! have a good one
I almost didn't watch this video but I am glad I did. That little technique was very impressive. I never would have thought of it myself. Thanks for sharing. Great video.
Thanks Dave. I've always wondered how to keep the meat from rotating on the spit. Your split fork technique makes so much sense, I wonder why I've never seen this before.
I have used a limb with an extra set of forks that is small enough to skewer the meat on the spit, but I like this idea since you don't have to spend as much time looking for the "perfect" limb....just ate lunch, and my mouth was still watering when you cut it...thanks Dave
What an awesome awesome thing. Love it that he does that message at the end thanking anyone who supports his family and his school/passion. Him and Jimmy Buffett are the top people I want to meet before I die.
Awesome video series, Dave. This is how I like to cook meat over a fire, or on a SS drying rack/grill, but didn't know about this split-skewer technique. Gonna have to give it a try this weekend on a dry rub pork shoulder. I usually sharpen two thinner sticks and push both through the meat and lay one of them inside the forks, then switch them to turn it. I'm amazed, been cooking like this over a campfire since I was a kid and still learned something new. Thanks for that, brother. Semper Fi
Great video, as always, Dave! I hope u will never end to make videos, I have been watching your videos now for 3 years and it becomes to a habit to go every single day on youtube and watch your vids. Thank you very much and nice regards from Austria! Flo-
Oh man now I'm hungry! Gonna have to go get me a stick. Thanks for the video Dave - from the unusually sunny UK! Keep doing what you're doing, it's inspirational and a joy to watch, appreicate it mate.
damn that did look really good! and i love watching fires being made in the bush. i find myself leaning forward in my chair as you were working on getting it going.
thank you soooooo much!! this will go alooooong way to cook with my scout kids, i really insist on them learning to cook primitively. And the rotisserie has really bothered me, how the hell to do it. And i feel so silly now, the solution is so simple..absolutely Love it!! Huge respect all the way from Denmark - Ben
Thanks for the Vid. Never thought of splitting the spit or using a forked spit that way. Something new to try next time in the woods :). Thank you for all you do and all the knowledge you share. It's most appreciated!
2 Yrs ago me and a friend harvested a big Alberta moose. After we got it loaded and the work out of the way we took one of the tenderloins and cooked it up just as you did your pork roast. We did not use the split stick method. After the meat started to cook it no longer wanted to rotate. The meat spun on the stick. We cut another stick to prop it where we wanted but was pain in the... Was great tenderloin when down though and we where quite pleased with our selves. We are not rookies when it comes to camping out but we did always bring a cast iron pan, This was an exception.
Survival is based largely on two things: a positive mental attitude and knowledge. With those two covered, you can make up for any lack of tools. Knowledge doesn't break, wear out, and short of forgetting a thing or two, you generally can’t lose it.
i really like this set up Dave, thanks for sharing! I have been learning soo much , from you and others like you, thanks again! cheers from nova scotia!
My old college mates are coming to Mississippi this fall to see Georgia beat State. I'm going to do this for our dinner outdoors with a pot of bacon beans.
Weird thing is, when meat is cooked over fire with no cooking technique whatsoever, it taste the best. I love cooking fatty red meat with some coarse sea salt over fire and it's the best tasting meat ever. You can go to a fancy restaurant and pay a lot of money for a steak where they use all types of cooking techniques on and it won't taste anywhere near as good as a simple piece of meat roasting over a camp fire.
Was thinking the exact same thing. Past couple months I've been doing some of my cooking out back over an open fire. Just can't get that smokey, open fire taste any other way. Not to mention it's always nice to just sit and relax by a fire!
Good video Dave, one thing we do instead of a fork stick is just to cut the end few inches of your rotisserie stick into a square and when it's in the upright fork the squared section stops the stick rotating..however I think your idea is better!!
Besides cooking on an old iron cook stove,open fire is the way to go.20 times better tasting then any grill. Thanks for the tip Dave,I always had the slipping issue using a straight stick,never thought of splitting it.
Thanks! Learn somun every day. Know the spit problem. Didn't realize how effective it would be to split pole & use a fork. You can teach an old dog new tricks. Yes, indeed.
I love this series!! Looking forward to some more videos! Wishing for more of the Yurt, Waters Edge, The Cabin, and Tipi i like all your videos. Your channel here on YT is better then Dual Survival in my opinion. Cody was such a candyass sometimes, I would of rather it been Dave Survival. Thanks for sharing.
You are without question, one of the best teachers of all time. Thanks for doing everything you do Dave. I love your videos Brother.
Hello Dave, i am chilean and always watch your videos. You are great, i learn a lot and put into practice your techniques with my sons. Thank you my friend. Greetings from Chile!!!!
The way you compose your videos is just masterful. I can't believe you got the whole firemaking sequence in frame...those never get old. =)
Thank you, Dave for all your videos. Your Pathfinder store is the best on the web. I always check for new products and vids. You sure work hard at what you do.

the fact that you showed making the fire all the prosseces was great cheers man
Great video Dave. Glad you cooked a piece of meat as well. Was a perfect way to complete the demonstration. Thanks.
Great video, Dave. Always learn something from you or at least improve something I might already know. I hope you don't plan stopping this RUclips thing anytime soon. Keep up the great work, Brother. Thanks for all the help you provide. Definitely my biggest role model and mentor.

Thanks Dave. I've always wondered how to keep the meat from rotating on the spit. Your split fork technique makes so much sense, I wonder why I've never seen this before.
I wonder how much one person would learn from you by coming to the school than watching youtube videos... David Canterbury > All

often wondered how that could be done w/o iron rod setup in a practical way thanx dave. please keep this series coming
Nothing beats the taste or smell of a good old pork roast cooking over an open fire! Now that's living good.
What an awesome awesome thing. Love it that he does that message at the end thanking anyone who supports his family and his school/passion. Him and Jimmy Buffett are the top people I want to meet before I die.
Pork roast cooked on an open fire and eaten on an old dirty stump! Now that's awesome...great vid Dave.
Awesome video series, Dave.

I could only press the "LIKE" button once..... Awesome video, and effective cooking devise, thank you.
So hungry after watching this. Rock on, Dave.
Great job keeping that little ember-ball alive. Awesome skill to know. Thank you!
Thank you so much for your bushcraft kitchen series I learned a lot. That roast looks delicious.

Watching Dave eat is the one of the funniest things ever.

What a brilliant cooking system, so simple and effective.
Loving this series, hope there's more to come. Keep up the great work Dave
Awesome Dave! That split stick looks to be so much easier than carving an eye to thread a cross stick through. Gotta try it!
Another skill set I can add to my collection...thanks for the vid Dave!
Fire..., Meat...,Tasty Treat! Great video, very helpful for camp. Thanks!
Love it Dave... I may have to try some fire-roasted yard-bird the next time I go out. Thanks.
Brilliant technique to ensure even cooking!
Thanks Dave!
Everything tastes better over the fire, I'm gonna have to try this!
Mmm... this is definitely on my to-do list. Thanks for sharing!
Ron Popeil would have been proud Dave. Good video, I've tried to do it a few times without the split. Now I know. Thanks!
I love the look and function of cooking like this. you also get a nice smoky flavor from the wood, that you dont get with charcoal or propane
hey dave......I love watching all your video's
Well done Dave! Made my mouth water Bro.
Awe man, looks real good. Made my mouth water. I'll put some BBQ sauce in my pocket, and be right there. Thanks for the video Dave.
It's neat the way you incorporate the fork for rotation control, nice tip.
Survival is based largely on two things: a positive mental attitude and knowledge. With those two covered, you can make up for any lack of tools. Knowledge doesn't break, wear out, and short of forgetting a thing or two, you generally can’t lose it.
Awesome Dave, I can't wait to try it. Thanks!
Man, that made me hungry! I'll have to try that on some backstrap. Another great video Dave. Thanks.

It's true, that no matter how long you live, there is always more to learn!
looks delicious thanks for the tip about spliting the spit
The last couple of seconds made me laugh, nice one dude!
Great lesson Dave!
But I had to laugh because it occurred to me that making fire is like making love, in that preparation is everything.
