Dave you're the man! keep it up. I dig the Q & A and i think you've totally convinced me to get my own Yurt - it would be awesome to try it out here in Ontario in the freezing winter.
One of my favorite things I take with me in the bush for hygiene is pine tar soap. It should have at least 25% pine tar to be medicinal to help with skin problems and be a very effective antiseptic soap. I use it for shampoo head to toe. I love the smell of campfire smoke and don't need to worry about any foo foo flowery smell while in the bush. This makes it useful to wash all of my clothes and woolens too for the same reason you smoke your woolens after washing. It dries hard to no mushy mess.
I love the videos and the experiment with the yurt. It's a great thing to live simple.I like listening to you read comments and started thinking of a question I could ask you. I think I got one. Can you show us how you would render tallow or other fats while in the bush?
Another great video Dave. I hope u have kept all these videos and at sometime will come up with a video collection on DVD for sale. I got hooked on your original videos and learned a lot. Keep them coming
@mogges1 on your collapsable bucket comment, I was at an army surplus today and saw a white canvas collapsable bucket for 10 bucks. around the 2 gal size. also, a great place for producs is on horse packing websites. they usually carry collapsable buckets for grain and water for the horses.
I'm glad to hear Miss Iris is going to be in some videos. Would like to see what you would do with th ladies in the wilderness. the camping with kids video was great. more info for the ladies would be nice... Keep up the good work Dave..
Another great video. Everyone always talks about the BOB being a bag with everything they need in it. Personally i use a black bucket with a harness that I made. You could also use an older alice frame and lash the bucket to that. The uses for the bucket are endless and I always like to have at least one with me. Keep up the great job on the videos.
Dave, I have enjoyed all the Yert videos and look forward to the next one. This has been a great series so far. Thanks man. When you answered the question about when you took a dump, reminded me of what I did when I was a boy running/roaming the hills of Ky. I would cut the sleeve off of my t-shirt and use that. lol
Nice vids. I wanted to share some of my knowledge and things I use after watching your Q & A. The best and safest way to remove a foreign object from the eye is a bit of petroleum jelly on the end of a Q-tip. This is what I learned from working in the ER. It does two things, grabs the particle and makes it stick and lubricates the eye or scratched cornea with any left over PJ on the eyeball. This is what MD's do in the ER a lot. I don't see why soft tallow or beeswax wouldn't work if sterile.
A good plant for scratches on the eye are cattail root, potato. You mash them to a paste, and then squeeze the juice and starch in to you're eye. The starch fills the scratch and gives you temp relief from the scratch. That's also good for arc flash and sun burnt eyes.
I live in Scotland and have never considered boiling water when ive been out, drank from water in the lowlands and the highlands and ive never been sick.
I know it's not always possible, but having kids we always try to carry a few rolls of toilet paper pressed down flat with the tubes taken out in a ziplock bag. The paper can be burnt afterwards and the rest buried. They even make biodegradable paper for camping. You can also fit a large pack of baby wipes, compressed down. Takes almost no room and really comes in handy for alot of things besides the obvious. Can also be burnt or used as fire starting material.
just a suggestion...carry a couple of tea bags....if yu scratch your eye moisten it ..make yourself a hot drink...then take the teabag and place it over your eye it helps wonderfully
@tdegazio most large hiking back packs have three draw string compartments that all open up to one large compartment which should be able to fit a 5 gallon bucket. i know mine can mine is a cascade 5200 cubic inch backpack
Dave...a small pair of side cutters can be used as nail cutters, a handy tool for making small persise cuts in leather or canvas. The uses for them are endless.
I love these videos Dave. I'm curious about what it would take to relocate your yurt if you had to. If you did it on foot how many trips or how many people would it take?
@ratifiedcow One of the Pathfinder Schools is in Jackson, Ohio, which is SE Ohio. The other is in Florida somewhere. What you might be thinking of was that Dual Survival episode filmed in Kentucky.
I have noticed a few times you have mentioned seasoning metal! The first time was seasoning your buchscraft budget bottle and bowl. How do you do season stainless?
@tdurden025 I was thinking about this, and it would be the same as planning out an outhouse on a property - smart planners will think long and hard about creeks and spring/well sources, then designate some area far away from those to be the area of throne-use. For a stay longer than Dave's a permanent single deep hole would be created and marked-off (you don't want someone falling into it at night) for all to use.
thanks dave. finally there is something both entertaining and educational on youtube. this is a great series and im gonna be sorry to see it go. before you end it, could you show us what the inside and the outside of the whole yurt looks like? im pretty sure ive seen all the videos up until now and i dont recall seeing what it looks like on the outside.
@dclement7 Nope. Make sure it is completely cooked all the way through, and don't eat any of the organ meat. Boiling it is the safest way, but you can also freeze it for a while, like bear meat.
Im with Dave on the whole drinking out of streams I do it all the time and never been sick as long as its running water. and I get water from large lakes I would be more leary of small standing water that I would not do without boiling. unless I was really dehydrated
I like these videos that answers peoples questions. But, I know its got to be hard answering the same questions over and over again though. Keep up the good work!
I'm interested in what solutions you can think of for a sustained survival situation in which making your own shoes or boots becomes necessary. I live around the tip of the rockies so living in the desert and severe winters are a reality.
@kingbadass2 This one is from American Yurts. Dave has a video (American Yurt at the Pathfinder School Intro - is the title) of the lady coming out and setting it up =]) Could probably find out more info on their website. =]
@Misha24156 I have a sea to summit folding bucket in my pack, it's really handy and I use it for all kinds of stuff, unfortunately it has a tendency to tip over, so I wouldn't want to use it for bathroom activities.
I know you're trying to keep down on unnecessary items but they make a lid for a 5 gallon bucket that has a nice seat cushion on the top. It's about $10. Just another use for Harvey The Bucket...something comfortable to sit on.
I want to see you process more animals and taxidermy hides or tan them. go into more of that. No one seems to teach that or go into specific detail. Thank you keep it up and keep teaching us.
Great info. on the "smoke baths". I'd not heard of that technique for cover scent or killing bacteria. At this time how would you compare your yurt living to say one of those heavy canvas outfitter square tents which accomodate wood stoves? Advantages over disadvantages? Did you show the flap accomodating your stove pipe and how you manage rain from coming through or did I miss that? Again thanks, I'm officially addicted to your videos and looking forward to your school offering a ladies class.
Dave. Love your entire method and your devotion to making things available to common man. My question is about your common man rat traps. Have you thought about staking the traps to the ground and using them to trigger a larger trap by attaching a string to the killing bar and using the string to pull out the support bar?
since your answering questions hopefully you will answer this one. a couple of videos back you cooked up the salt cured bacon. how long dose salt cured meat last without refrigeration. i like to do out for 2-3 weeks at a time but never take meet because i dont want to eat bad meat. all always take powdered eggs, instant mashed potatoes, and you already went over the bread a couple of times.by the way if you use the skin of a orange as a pan for your biscuits it adds a nice sweetness to them
Great Vids Dave. Since your answering questions I have one I have been wanting to ask. It is along the lines of common man bush tools. Since I have been watching you and Silver Fox I noticed I had only Stainless Steel knifes. And the ability to strike a spark with flint/chert has been my latest shift in my kit. But the custom made High Carbon Knifes are a bit pricey for my common man life style. What do you think about modifying a Ontario Knife 6" Butcher. Mine strikes sparks very well. USA made
What about honey as a multi-use sundry? Comfort food, calories, disinfect/seal wounds, cough medicine, etc. And it lasts literally forever - We've pulled pots of thousands of years old honey from Egyptian tombs, heated it to de-crystalize and it's good as new.
you need to package the entire Yurt series, once its done, put the videos on a DVD and post on your site. I think the series is a valuable resource and could be used in a number of educational settings. Just a thought. Cheers and happy holidays
Hey Dave, what are you doing to prepare for Snow? what are some things you personally would prioritize over others? like firewood stock and keeping it dry over gathering food for example.
One question I have had and the placement is probably going to seem goofy is about your metal container. What sort of material is it made of and where can I pick one up? I keep seeing aluminum container at stores and online, but doubt that could withstand a fire to boil water in. Suggestions and site to pick one up would be much appreciated. Love the videos and always look forward to seeing what you are doing next.
i love your videos i was watching you on the tv but then you got replaced from some other guy so i have been watching your youtube channel they are great videos. i would love to go to the pathfinder school where is it at i live in michigan. i live in the bush as much as i can if it wasn't for my parents i would live outside all year around. and i was wounding if you go to church i notice you pray before eating??
Hay Dave.I have an idea on the bucket.I agree a bucket is a good item to carry.but the bucket can be a pain to transport.So I'm think you are some one else might come up with collapsible bucket that can be put into a pack..I wouldn't know how a collapsible bucket would be made but it would be a easier to transport
Dave I have been checking out the few different applications for smart phones on edible and medicinal plants. There are only a couple out there but they seem decent. Could you share your opinion of them with us as well as maybe a review???
i was looking at the prices for a yurt or for a cabin tent and they are all in the over a thousand dollar range. so i found a more common man solution, new way concrete supply sells very heavy duty construction tarps (not painters tarps) so im just going to make my own. just thought is share that for anyone that might be looking for a less expensive path
Just one quick comment about the eye question, please make sure to wear eye protection at all times if at all possible in a survival situation because the random flukes are what get you, just a flake of nearly anything in the eye can cost you your life in some cases
i know this is a bit off the path, but have you thought about using punk wood as tinder over char cloth. thanks for your videos and all the time you give us. jake
Dave, where are your children and how involved are they with the Pathfinder School and your other interests? I remember two of your sons joining you in videos a long time ago, and I know you have a daughter who was (or is) serving in the military. Great series of videos, can't wait to see more. Thanks for all that you do!!!
Love the video and the "dirty butt" comment is priceless. You mentioned ash and baking soda have antiseptic properties, so if you do need to use your bandana would those be sufficient to clean it to be safe again?
Hey dave,I know you're probably tired of answering this question but I cant find any information anywhere...Is dual survival coming back? I really liked that show.
keep it up dave! reading peoples comments is really cool! it makes me sad that i just brought my tent in today. no.. not because it was cold but the wind blew it away lol!! pulled the steaks right out of the ground. i'll have to get something a little better for next year. what are your thoguhts on the canvas sided tents like the ones you can buy at cabelas??
Hey Dave, what would be the best way to stitch a wound in a wilderness/survival situation? And I no cattail is a good method for bleeding, what are other plants that would help clot blood flow? Thanks for your time.
Hey Dave, I really enjoyed this series and I learned a lot from your other videos. But I have a request about how you refer to older videos. You often say "I showed that in a former video..." but I always can´t find these Videos. If possible it would be great if you could post a link in the description to the videos you referred to. Keep going man! Kind Regards
Hey Dave, Do you have a big bucket under your bed in wich you store foodsources like flower and stuff for the 30 days you planed to stay or will you to stores every 4 days or so?
Bucket: Humans have historically had to work to create containers to carry water. Modern times have made this a lot easier. Plastic is light, but can't be placed in a fire to boil water in. It also doesn't last for too long under bad conditions. But it can be selected for size to fit inset into a backpack for a mobile survival kit. Even for work around the garden, I use a great many 5 gallon buckets for all sorts of things. (used fast food pickle buckets) - I get them for FREE !!!
6 children and 4 grandchildren, how did you get the time to do all this wilderness stuff? love the vids and many great ideas for when i go out. Thx from Scotland
Hey Dave. I had a couple questions. 1. If you mixed some baking powder with some wood ash would that strengthen the wash solution or counter one with the other? 2. Do you have any tips for making cheap flint and steel strikers. I found some places that sold 17th 18th century style fire kits but they seemed a little expensive. Thanks for the great vids. I really dig the 21st century longhunter series. This information is slowly being lost and it's great your bringing it back. Take Care Bro
HOW ABOUT TOOTH ACHES or needing a tooth removed in The Bush, Dave? How would you deal with this issue, as it would sooner or later, be one. Also, My Dad told me that (Milkweed sap)/White-Milk-Looking stuff that comes from the stems when you break them, and it being good for warts or foot fungus. Can you confirm this? OR have you heard anything about Milkweed Sap? As far as Iris visiting you; I was wondering what you did with any 'isolation issues you might be having or have had?
not trying to sound like a know it all guys but i am a diabetic so my feet are troublesome.....try carrying a small can of powdered alum...make sure its powdered not the granulated...it is a fantastic thing for foot probs even including athletes foot
I have watched this series 3 times...it is that good. Thanks for your dedication. You have honestly saved my life.
THIS IS BY FAR MY FAVORITE SERIES DAVE! MORE YURT
Im so addicted to this series Dave. There is so much to learn. Much thanks brother.
I really like this format. I learn as we go! Thank you so much for spending some time with us.
Dave you're the man! keep it up. I dig the Q & A and i think you've totally convinced me to get my own Yurt - it would be awesome to try it out here in Ontario in the freezing winter.

I'm loving these Q&A videos!
"Pain is just fear leaving your body." That was a brilliant thought.
Another great video Dave. I hope u have kept all these videos and at sometime will come up with a video collection on DVD for sale. I got hooked on your original videos and learned a lot. Keep them coming
Thanks for another great video Dave!

"I'm always careful of where I do drink." *Drinks water straight out of an African river*
good one
Another great video. Everyone always talks about the BOB being a bag with everything they need in it. Personally i use a black bucket with a harness that I made. You could also use an older alice frame and lash the bucket to that. The uses for the bucket are endless and I always like to have at least one with me. Keep up the great job on the videos.
Dave on the smoke bath, I have heard that breathing in the smoke helps the immune system and smoke kills out viruses
Dave, I have enjoyed all the Yert videos and look forward to the next one. This has been a great series so far. Thanks man. When you answered the question about when you took a dump, reminded me of what I did when I was a boy running/roaming the hills of Ky. I would cut the sleeve off of my t-shirt and use that. lol

"My Grandad lives in a yurt in his backyard." LOL, you don't hear that too often. My grandad lived in a camp in the Adirondacks so I can relate.
A good plant for scratches on the eye are cattail root, potato. You mash them to a paste, and then squeeze the juice and starch in to you're eye. The starch fills the scratch and gives you temp relief from the scratch. That's also good for arc flash and sun burnt eyes.

Keep up the great work ,Dave! :) This Yurt Journal and Q&A videos are awesome!
just a suggestion...carry a couple of tea bags....if yu scratch your eye moisten it ..make yourself a hot drink...then take the teabag and place it over your eye it helps wonderfully
I have found that putting my water bottle (full) over my eye upside down and blinking cleans the eye every time.
Thanks for answering my question Dave.
Great vid as always. Iris did great on the vid I have seen so she should do more. Keep up the good work.
@tdegazio most large hiking back packs have three draw string compartments that all open up to one large compartment which should be able to fit a 5 gallon bucket. i know mine can mine is a cascade 5200 cubic inch backpack
I like the video Q&A. I hope this becomes a fairly regular part of your channel.
Dave...a small pair of side cutters can be used as nail cutters, a handy tool for making small persise cuts in leather or canvas. The uses for them are endless.
I love these videos Dave. I'm curious about what it would take to relocate your yurt if you had to. If you did it on foot how many trips or how many people would it take?
I LOVE THESE JOURNAL! Awesome stuff dave! keep Em coming!
Dave, I have seen people add stack on those stoves so you could get it out the top of the yurt.
@ratifiedcow One of the Pathfinder Schools is in Jackson, Ohio, which is SE Ohio. The other is in Florida somewhere. What you might be thinking of was that Dual Survival episode filmed in Kentucky.
ah flour so many uses so little time i cant wait to see your uses keep the vids coming brother

@jmg1957, Walmart and most groceries still sell it.
@tdegazio you should be able to fit a bucket in any large hiking pack
"She's not real hot on cold" LOL love it!
Dave how do you season the top of a stove? It would make a good video!!

love this Q&A style!
I was also wondering about the chimney hole and how you are keeping the heat inside if there is a drafting gap up top.
Dave, You just Rock!! Love the Vids, keep em coming!
Great Vids Dave. Since your answering questions I have one I have been wanting to ask. It is along the lines of common man bush tools.

Hey Dave, what are you doing to prepare for Snow? what are some things you personally would prioritize over others? like firewood stock and keeping it dry over gathering food for example.
Most informitive series I have seen
I really like your idea about buying American made goods first. I do the same thing, even if it means I have to buy something used.
Speaking of foot fungus..Corn meal has anti fungal properties. You can soak your feet in water with corn meal in it and
treat foot / toe fungus.
One question I have had and the placement is probably going to seem goofy is about your metal container. What sort of material is it made of and where can I pick one up? I keep seeing aluminum container at stores and online, but doubt that could withstand a fire to boil water in. Suggestions and site to pick one up would be much appreciated. Love the videos and always look forward to seeing what you are doing next.
i love your videos i was watching you on the tv but then you got replaced from some other guy so i have been watching your youtube channel they are great videos. i would love to go to the pathfinder school where is it at i live in michigan. i live in the bush as much as i can if it wasn't for my parents i would live outside all year around. and i was wounding if you go to church i notice you pray before eating??

i was looking at the prices for a yurt or for a cabin tent and they are all in the over a thousand dollar range. so i found a more common man solution, new way concrete supply sells very heavy duty construction tarps (not painters tarps) so im just going to make my own. just thought is share that for anyone that might be looking for a less expensive path
Just one quick comment about the eye question, please make sure to wear eye protection at all times if at all possible in a survival situation because the random flukes are what get you, just a flake of nearly anything in the eye can cost you your life in some cases
i know this is a bit off the path, but have you thought about using punk wood as tinder over char cloth. thanks for your videos and all the time you give us. jake
Dave, where are your children and how involved are they with the Pathfinder School and your other interests? I remember two of your sons joining you in videos a long time ago, and I know you have a daughter who was (or is) serving in the military. Great series of videos, can't wait to see more. Thanks for all that you do!!!
Love the video and the "dirty butt" comment is priceless. You mentioned ash and baking soda have antiseptic properties, so if you do need to use your bandana would those be sufficient to clean it to be safe again?
Hey dave,I know you're probably tired of answering this question but I cant find any information anywhere...Is dual survival coming back? I really liked that show.
keep it up dave! reading peoples comments is really cool! it makes me sad that i just brought my tent in today. no.. not because it was cold but the wind blew it away lol!! pulled the steaks right out of the ground. i'll have to get something a little better for next year. what are your thoguhts on the canvas sided tents like the ones you can buy at cabelas??
Hey Dave, what would be the best way to stitch a wound in a wilderness/survival situation? And I no cattail is a good method for bleeding, what are other plants that would help clot blood flow? Thanks for your time.
hey dave great vids but how much hunting to cooking/baking? keep it up brother
Hi Friends
One after thought. Just place the liquid Irish Potatoe juice in the eye. The crunche Potatoe may cause other problems.
Thanks Don
Hey Dave,
I really enjoyed this series and I learned a lot from your other videos. But I have a request about how you refer to older videos. You often say "I showed that in a former video..." but I always can´t find these Videos. If possible it would be great if you could post a link in the description to the videos you referred to.
Keep going man!
Kind Regards
you are very addiment on protecting your feet, which is very important, so being honest what is your opinion on Cody never wearing shoes?
Dave, Can you do a demonstration of how to render tallow? Also can you describe how you store it for long term use?
Thanks!
Hey Dave,
Do you have a big bucket under your bed in wich you store foodsources like flower and stuff for the 30 days you planed to stay or will you to stores every 4 days or so?
thanks for answering my question at 21:00. :)
Bucket:
Humans have historically had to work to create containers to carry water. Modern times have made this a lot easier. Plastic is light, but can't be placed in a fire to boil water in. It also doesn't last for too long under bad conditions. But it can be selected for size to fit inset into a backpack for a mobile survival kit.
Even for work around the garden, I use a great many 5 gallon buckets for all sorts of things. (used fast food pickle buckets) - I get them for FREE !!!
Another awesome video!
6 children and 4 grandchildren, how did you get the time to do all this wilderness stuff?
love the vids and many great ideas for when i go out.
Thx from Scotland
Hey Dave. I had a couple questions. 1. If you mixed some baking powder with some wood ash would that strengthen the wash solution or counter one with the other? 2. Do you have any tips for making cheap flint and steel strikers. I found some places that sold 17th 18th century style fire kits but they seemed a little expensive. Thanks for the great vids. I really dig the 21st century longhunter series. This information is slowly being lost and it's great your bringing it back. Take Care Bro
HOW ABOUT TOOTH ACHES or needing a tooth removed in The Bush, Dave? How would you deal with this issue, as it would sooner or later, be one.
Also, My Dad told me that (Milkweed sap)/White-Milk-Looking stuff that comes from the stems when you break them, and it being good for warts or foot fungus. Can you confirm this? OR have you heard anything about Milkweed Sap?
As far as Iris visiting you; I was wondering what you did with any 'isolation issues you might be having or have had?
