- Must-have Winter Essentials: Top 5 Kit Considerations!Selecting winter kit beyond the usual I think about what uses less calories, is safer in cold weather when dexterity may be an issue, and how multifunctional are items I select to pack
It will never cease to amaze me how people who get to consume something for free, will find something to complain about.
I appreciate the way your videos begin without the music and “cool graphics”. You get right to the point.
It's your show, Dave. Run it as you see fit and ignore the Naysayers. Music or speech - do your videos the way you want to do them. And thank you for your excellent content.
What I like about this channel is the authenticity.
Other channels I see are, "Here's how you start a fire. Step one, get the preseasoned bone dry wood you bought at the gas station before shooting the video."
Dave is like, "Go get branches covered in snow."
Other channels, "Now take out your bailing wire, chemical firestarter, and Solo stove that obviously everyone has on them at all times."
Dave. "Make some pokey things out of wood and the back of your knife to loght it and make a cooking area."
This is my 0.02, I don’t think I will have the time to all that preppers have been doing for yrs. I just want to learn the basics, or what will keep me alive. This vid definitely hits home for me. Simple techniques that will keep any person alive. 🔪🔥⛺️
Hi David. I like your wool coat. I live in wool in winter. I have to tell you about my Eddie Bower sleeping robe I inherited. I've never have seen anything like it. It came from my friend Jock. From Maine. Made in 1950,s. It's eider down filled with a most beautiful heavy canvas shell. And has a lambs wool inner bag that is beautiful. . It's rated to -50. It fluffs over 1 foot thick and probably weighs 20 lbs. I've never seen another one. I tried it at 8 deg. I actually had to unsip . I got to hot. Have you ever seen one. I never have. The stuff bag reads. For warranty service you will never need contact Eddie Bower for service. God bless. They do not make stuff like this anymore. I was born at least 100 years to late.😊
In Canada here in winter I always add two casualty blankets and clear contractor bags to my kit, minimum 2. The contractor bags are for a super shelter in case that doesn’t make sense. In the summer they are great for collecting water from leafy branches as well so I have a couple black ones but I try to have a clear one always as well
I have all those items, but what I haven't seen before was the quick, simple method of securing the top of the tripod.
I love it.
Thanks Dave.
I'm all for new methods, being in the craft or the videos, but to be honest I preferred when you talked through what you were doing. You have very detailed explanations and are a wealth of survival information that can't always be picked up by just watching. You do you and how you want put your knowledge out there, just my 2 cents. Look forward to more videos.
Awesome Dave I think the tripod set up with the paracord is just a simple fabulous idea 👍🏴😀
As you know I love my shovel 😅 your tripod setup is sweet !!
Never thought about cooking on the spade, nice tips, thnx.
For ground cloth I by far prefer a piece of wool blanket in the winter for insulation. The only downfall is if you sit on it too long it may want to fuse with the snow and ice.
Play music or sing your heart out.... Excellent video as usual, Dave.
I learned so much from this short " simple " video. Thank you very much.
I actually prefer the music you had on this one. The actual sounds of what is going on is music to my ears and a better focusing experience. And I actually learned something new here. Thankyou!
A shovel is the most underrated survival tool.
He's just trying to sell me milbank bags and firestarters and shovels and....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 OMG how you tolerate the losers and trolls, it's amazing. Thanks for all you do and please keep the haters in perspective, simply jealous babies crying in their momma's basement. Speaking of shovels, I NEVER considered bringing one until I got the Cold Steel shovel, brought it to the woods and suddenly wondered how I did without. So handy!
i drilled out the mounting holes on the shovel's ferrule, so I can use longer, larger OD bolts. I Tig-weld bits of drill rod or big nails across the heads of the bolts, forming T-bolts. I Tig weld nuts to the female side of the ferrule. This mod lets me dis and re-assemble the shovel without tools. I have also modified my multitool to allow the same. A double-edged "drill-awl" blade in the multitool lets me make the mounting holes in the shovel handles. Sometimes i want a handle that makes the shovel into a two-handed axe (with a stone weight) or a paddle, vertical ice-chipper, spear, a full--length shovel, a pick/adze/rake/hoe and sometimes, with no handle at all, it's a "big knife" trowel, SKILLET, or pry-bar.
Dave, please STOP READING COMMENTS! Nothing good comes from it. Just keep doing you man
I really love the toggle/gore hook to suspend a water bottle over a fire. It's so tidy and simple.
Great job. These little tips and tricks should be in everyone's toolbox.
I have carried the exact shovel for 5+ years now and it is the one single tool I will not go without into a woodland area. its versatility is incredible.
Secondly, I have 2 of the Milbank bags used in this video that I use extensively ( for medical reasons I need minimum 4 liters of water daily which is a struggle in the woodlands sometimes) and I definitely recommend it to anyone, its great to have hard filtering while you complete other camp tasks.
excellent video sir! appreciate you sharing god bless.
Always appreciate you showing us your tricks and tips. Thank you!
First time I see this type of flask suspension, really easy to do from any stick. Thanks!
Dave, if you want to play music on your vids go for it. I'm sick of people telling you how to run your show. But no jazz please!
You are one tricky dude, Mr. Canterbury. 👍
I have learned from you for years and years. And you never charged me a dime
Yet another great video! Thanks Dave! I always learn something new with you.
I just watched that other video and was going to comment how I liked the music. Bring it back whenever you want! Thank you sir for all you do for our community. 👍🏻
i kinda like the old music and intro too for that matter.
im living good, back in the woods!
do what you like dave.
Thank you SIR DAVID OF THE WOODS for yet another informative , instructional and potentially life saving video . Your common sense no bullshit attitude to living in the nature we've been blessed with is refreshing and inspiring . Play whatever dang music you want . God bless you sir . Best wishes from the UK .
Man, I loved the music!
I really love your channel, Dave. I didn't notice the music, i must have been concentrating on what you were saying or demonstrating.
I like seeing reviews about the products you have used that have served you well. Whether it's something you sell in your shop, a piece of kit you don't but love, or something DIY that's simple and brilliant. In that last category is how you put together that tripod. In a thousand years and four days, i wouldn't have thought to twist the middle pole like that. Pure genius.
I got a few of your books to read through this winter to see what i can implement in warmer temps.
Thank you for such great content. Silently or accompanied by music, i appreciate it all.
I like the idea of talking about winter gear
Sorry about the late post
I do have this double strike problem that is apain. About 5 years ago on Alaska Bushcraft, the gentalman created a shelter using aluminum foil and a light, clear painter's drop and it turned out similar to you super shelter.
I've had some history with parabolics and your a couple of "OH Shits" from blowing your own mind. What you can do with a candel will blow your mind. Keep it up Son.
i have trouble with securing the tri pod too. that was simple and easy. gotta remember that. i'm glad you didn't have music playing, it's a distraction. great video!
Dave I've been a subscriber for a long time and I love all the lessons you've given us all. It's your channel and if you want music do it.
Hey Dave love your videos!! Thanks for all you do!!!!
Millbank Bag Tip was really interesting. Thanks!
Thankyou for showing consideration towards people who may struggle with hearing issues when music is in the background of videos.
😊
Good vid Dave! simple and to the point, cant ask for more then that. I have a nice small shovel with a T handle I got from my local Ace , Only 12 bucks or so but its made well and has never let me down. Thinking of doing a video on it some time soon.
Great video! Thank you for sharing these useful tips!
Love the Millbank bag over the fire. Would be curious to see that knot with the toggle in detail!
I loved that water dripping sound at the end.
Dude I love your vids, and music is fine. Just gotta ignore the trolls, sir. Don’t worry, those of us who seriously appreciate your content and effort are still around a decade later man. Been watching since like 2009 or something, read your books, would go to your class but I have health issues that would make it impossible or not smart. Thank you so much for what you do. Great video man
Does cooking with the shovel ruin the tempur or does it not get that hot?
LOVE VIDEOS LIKE THIS!! thanks Dave. Showing tips and techniques; gets me to think outside-the-box with my kit; the scenery and content make it entertaining to watch; it told the story of making drinking water in winter. IMHO no talking was needed at all, from start to finish, title and text gave all the details needed. Even the "thank you and appreciation" narrative can be in text at the end. Links to your other videos, of the kit and techniques used, would be useful for us to do more in-depth research.
I love your videos Dave, music or no music, captions or no captions, or whatever it may be, because you just teach good information. Thanks!
Dave I don't care about the music, I am here for the knowledge.
Shovel: also good for digging cat holes
This is a really nice concept of video making. More of these please. Take care Dave!
I’m just here for the cooking shovel comments!
Thank you, these video's have been a inspiration for me for years now ive been watching your channel for about 5-6 years now. I started making my own wool and fur clothing for the winter time, mostly hats, gloves and coats. Keep up the great work man! I used to live near your bushcrafting school about 4 years back before i moved out west.
Dave you have no Idea how much your loved and revered putting out these and all your other Videos.Every Time I think I can go back there,Wife,Job,takes a Shit ,Fuel Prices go to $4 Bucks a Gallon,I live in Wyoming,and For me to go back there,Your Courses need to follow each other back to back so I can do 2 or 3 and make it worth my while.Other than that it's Review your Videos Really liked the Whelen Lean Videos
Is there any difference between the black tyvek and the white tyvek? All i can get my hands on is the white tyvek house wrap.
👍👍👍
Never a waste of time watching these posts.
Music? Yep, sometimes it can 'get in the way' 😏.
Jazz? Perhaps .. some soft light stuff waaay in the background if there is really nothing else to do. Rap however 😳 .. NEVER! 😁.
It's Dave's Channel .. his Circus, his Elephants. We are just the Audience .. many of us with free entrance to the Show.
We should respect that .. and learn.
Thanks for the TIPS.
Play music as you please or not.
I appreciate your thoughts and suggestions,
Even on music.
Your Care for & of your viewers & Friends is Outstanding.
I always enjoy your videos man. it would be a bonus if you brought back some of the Badhorse tunes or some of the other music you used to play back in the old days, 2011-2015 ish.
No Music! Well done , about time more presenters grew up!!
Thanks for the great information.
I admire your frankness about music. Oh well. Can't please everybody.
Nice! Awesome little ASMR moments and good info.
Right on Dave Great Items !
Saludos David desde Argentina, son geniales sus videos.
Thx Dave!
Very good content Dave!
Thanks for Sharing
Thanks Dave
Never thought of using yhr milbank bag like that eith snow. Nice always good stuff. If only you carried shovels on SRO
Sterno fire starter is worth gold. In three years lol
excellent video
Great video. I think some waterfall music would work great for your next video on water capturing, filtering, and storage.
Keep up the great work.
Man just 1 minute into your video i now your the man for being out in the cold and shooting those videos. Dont ever change the way you want to make videos cause of some lazy comments. I see you know your shit! Stay healthy, thanks for the video
The amount of I formation in just a few min of video is amazing.
Love that coat
Love the music
Thank you for sharing you knowledge and experience.
💥💥THAT was a great video💥💥 Thank you so much💯💯💯
Thanks for the information
Dave, thx for this. What jacket are you wearing, looks awesome!
👍
I really need to get a good shovel. I keep thinking I have all the equipment I need then I see a video and remember how hard it is to make a dugout with a stick.
Appreciate the tips!
Thanks
Thank you
hey Dave ever consider adding the tyvek pads to the store? all i can find is full rolls of the stuff and i don't need 9x100 foot of the stuff!!
Dave,
Those are little gems of practice mate. Pardon my french, I sub you because you are shit hot at what you do. All the best from Scotland. Jock.
LOVED THIS!
Such a badass! Keep up the good work!
Steamboat Willie is now off the copyright list so play that music constantly and to hell with the complainers! 🤣 Also, seriously, I suggest keeping a can of spray paint or hair spray with a lighter for fire. As a kid I used to play around with spraying through a flame and WHOOSH constant massive fire as long as you hold down the button on the can! Only need to light the lighter one time and then you've got a makeshift flame thrower to light up all the wood!
Thanks!
I always liked the music you used in the older videos. I'm sure you were talking about me, but I'd rather have a video like this that with that funky stuff the other day. Not that m 2 cents is worth much at all
Great 👍
Great tripod method but hard to see details of the double notch toggle. Looked on your other videos for more detail on this but couldn't find?
Love a fire in the snow.
Them skills are mind 🤯.
Love your channel, I’ve learned a lot watching you. Has anyone said anything about problems with subscriptions? I’ve had to resubscibe at least 5 times to your channel. Yours isn’t the only channel but yours is the most. What is RUclips’s deal
Thanks, Dave! 🥾🏔️
You are a great teacher, i learned something today. Can you put a link to your shop or equipment that you can buy please. NZ CHEERS
