Harvesting Bark from White Pine to make a functional container is great Bushcraft or Long term Survival Skill Dave Canterbury shows how to make a Pine Bark Basket
If I'm learning something that is of practical use to me then it is entertaining so why would you say it's not entertaining. Thank you so much for the instructional video that's one of the reasons I continue to watch you. I do know a fair amount of woodslore but as far as I'm concerned you're never too old to learn and I did learn something today so again thank you very much. Stay vigilant
More more more folk skills and crafting videos, please! These make up the fun part of bushcraft. Anybody can buy everything they need to stay alive for days or weeks at a time and get by with just the gear and very little knowledge, but the actual fun of this hobby is doing it all yourself and working with natural materials. I'm rapidly progressing to the point where every piece of gear I use is home made and/or improvised from the environment around me, not because that's the most practical thing, but because it's the most fun and enjoyable, damnit!
Loved this video Dave. You don't have to apologize for crafts/skills videos such as this. Feel free to bring us more of these as time and circumstances permit. Thanks much!
I liked it a lot. Not only was the basket GREAT but I hadn't noticed the tattoos on the index and middle right fingers before this video. Traveling about a point touching on the two parallels and the Great Light is indeed a good journey.
Outstanding video. Skills are so underrated but so important. Most people focus on just flashy camping. Real survival skills don't get learned because, as you said, skills can be boring
Great video, you might want to add how to harvest the bark from a tree. I like these skill videos, they useful skills to have in your skill set. Can be used to repair gear once you realize how simple it is to sew the bark. Listing local barks that can be used like this would be helpful. Thank you.
I remember my grandmother having bark baskets in the house. One was always full of kindling for the cook stove. Yes, my grandmother refused to have an electric stove until the late 1980s when she just could not handle it anymore.
Great video! I enjoy your crafting videos! I've been using thin cord with a nail to poke holes to stitch up the sides of containers. To make the holes evenly spaced I use my big fork and push it into the material to mark the places I want to poke holes. A couple of sail needles thin cord (like thin bank line or inner strands of 550 cord, etc..) and a saddle stitch and they're very sturdy.
Nothing lasts 4eva. At some point people are going to have to know how to use natural resources, even if it is a bit of a pain in the arse. And you're right Dave, it is. But showing people the idea by example is smart cause we're mostly visual learners, and let's face it, some of us don't have much of an idea. A tonne of integrity with you as always Dave. Lookin' good bud, thanks for sharing the knowledge. Down Under Bushie.
Thank you, Dave for showing me that I can use white pine... I also live in Ohio. Now weaving baskets out of reeds and cattails...I have done. Good camping!
Thanks Dave. Great video. I love bark baskets. Never used white pine before, great tip. I have used white pine rootlets for the lacing, though. Similar to spruce roots. Very strong, and you can get the lacing from the same tree. I've used that on yew, birch and tulip poplar bark baskets. Strips of hickory or basswood work well for lacing also. Many thanks.
What type of pine are you using? The pine barks in Washington state don’t look like that, well, not in my neck of the woods! Can you help me? Dave Canterbury!!
I Always enjoy your videos. I’m learning something new. Skills learnt in different groups, categories are always important. Keep up the good work 11:03
HOT water takes pitch right off. About hot enough to partially cook your paws is just right. And afterward they come out looking like Dave's 🙂 (I started wearing gloves)
NOT ENTERTAINING...?!?!? WHAT!?!? DAVE, my friend, mentor, hero... skills are skills... ALL are required at some point. The more skills you have, obviously the better you are. As an ex would say, so simple it's stupid, except it's not. Please 🙏🏻 don't stop showing skills. Some of us, are poor men, women, or whatever,... and can't afford gear, so we rely on skills! Something you taught me back when you graduated from common man status, almost 2 decades ago. Spent many years, researching and learning from You, you Tube, and your many many many skilled instructors! I still send everyone to your Kentucky video, many years ago to get my idea of " survival". Obviously over the years, I have learned many skills/ techniques from you and others. All to make us more complete survival/bushcraft enthusiasts. Anyway, love ya bro, thanks for all you have e done for me and so many others!
Hey l know this might seem like a silly question but what brand of needle and what size do you use and where can I get them, great video l like the bushcraft skills videos to many of the survival channels have gone political and are more news about WW3 or end of the world stuff
I'm with the many others here saying that the skills videos are the first that I'll click. I haven't made a bark basket not but for leather or cloth I really like having reduced eye 3/8 & 1/2 curve needles on hand. Both inside and outside cutting are useful in certain situations but, at some point, you just can't pack the kitchen sink.
Not entertaining....? Not entertaining!?!?!? I love these videos like this! Even if it is something I might never make, I still love to watch this kind of stuff, and you present it very well. Great video and GREAT ENTERTAINING information as always, sir! Keep 'em coming!
i beg to differ the folk skills and crafting videos are by far my favorite
These skills and craft videos are equally as important as any other survival video
If I'm learning something that is of practical use to me then it is entertaining so why would you say it's not entertaining. Thank you so much for the instructional video that's one of the reasons I continue to watch you.

I think we all agree skills are what we’re here for! Good video!
Skills videos are the most important videos. Thank you for everything YOU do Dave. O.G. fan...
Folk skills videos are my favorite! These skills will help us “smooth it”, should resources become limited. Please keep ‘em coming!
Thanks Dave!👍👍

Great project Brother Dave, you are representing our great fraternity with proper implements. Safe travels Brother. /G\
Excellent video. Woodcraft skills are one of the most important abilities you will need in a long term survival situation. Thanks Dave

These type of videos are very entertaining. I love learning folk skills.
Loved this video Dave. You don't have to apologize for crafts/skills videos such as this. Feel free to bring us more of these as time and circumstances permit. Thanks much!
Awesome looking basket brother!!! And the tattoos on your fingers, awesome implements of the trade!!
I liked it a lot. Not only was the basket GREAT but I hadn't noticed the tattoos on the index and middle right fingers before this video. Traveling about a point touching on the two parallels and the Great Light is indeed a good journey.

I like learning skills like this using materials from the outdoors. Thank you!
These are most of my favorite type of videos that you do.

This is an excellent video Dave! Thanks for always sharing great videos. :-)
I love seeing stuff like this you can literally make a pack basket out of that bark if you got enough of it then build yourself a pack frame
Thank you for teaching a useful skill(s) that people will , and do need to know as back up and survival. KEEP UP WITH THE VIDEOS
Dave, adoramos tudo que você nos ensina, muito obrigado, você é o melhor. Abraço aqui do Brasil.👍👍👍

I imagine making a canoe out of bark would be an exercise in frustration and anger for me.

I hear so much about white pines but how do you know which pine trees are white pine. I'd love to see a video done on how to identify pine trees.
Hey Hiram, From where do you hail from?

Can you harvest bark from other trees in this manner, and if so will it kill the tree
We're going through an intense wind storm in Tennessee..
Might go see what trees are down in my area that can be used for something like this.
