    I did Basic in October and had a great time. Came home excited to keep practicing and learning and signed up for more classes. Hope to see you in the woods next year!

    I didn’t know wooly mammoth sold queen size now. Great video! I always thought of Dave as the Bruce Lee of survival, because he took what’s useful from the old knowledge and condensed it into a form that could save anyone in a emergency situation in the woods. Knowledge is always worth the money.

    Nice video. I did my basic in 2021. I modified my medium alice pack with repair buckles from sea to summit. I got mine at REI. I didn't even have to remove the original hardware. Congrats on the patch!

    People need to PRAY shft doesn't bappen, the sheer grit and perseverance it'll take might be over whelming.. I'm in my 40s and very active and always have been. I also have a very unique background that may help me in SHTF. If you are not active you need to be doing something EVERYDAY even if it's something around the house get up and move you will get stronger everyday if not for yourself do it for your family or friends they may need you..

    great video, as far as the Garberg goes. All the survival people I have watched say buy my knife, if you don't like my knife buy a mora Garberg. its a good all around stout do anything knife. It's the frugal choice not the cheap choice.

    Spiders in your browse bed suck but what’s even worse is when you scoop a few baby snakes in there

    Aye man! Awesome review! I had to have watched about 3 other reviews before yours, and they left me with more questions than insight.
    But you? You left me speechless! You left me only with the rejuvenated motivation to get out there and do it!
    There’s this nice walk that I like to take from work to home (7.5 mi in 2.5 hrs). Is there anyway that I can use that to step my game up and be “condition-ready” for the course?
    Thank you so much bro!

    • @Swish82
      @Swish82  Год назад +2

      Thank you for your comment. I'm glad I could help. My suggestion is to have 50 lbs in your pack and average about a 15-minute mile. If you do that, you'll be golden.

    • @bsd9230
      @bsd9230 3 месяца назад

      How many miles do you hike a day at the course??

    Great enthusiastic video, great to see mental preparedness being promoted (the best survival tool is between your ears). Just one question ; didn't see a survival whistle amongst your kit, did you have one ?

    • @Swish82
      @Swish82  Год назад +1

      It wasn't on the packing list for this course. Dave does go over the use of whistles. I do have one I carry with me though whenever I go out.

  • @bsd9230
    @bsd9230 3 месяца назад

    How many miles do you hike a day at the course? How long duration? Hour? Half hour? 2 hours?

  • @desmo5514
    @desmo5514 5 месяцев назад

    Couple of questions on sizes. Is your ALICE med or LGE, ? What size is Space blanket ? Oh is your ALICE actual canvas or Nylon ? I want to get one of those myself.
    I'm in Oz🇭🇲, I have LGE Auscam Alice. It seems to pack out and too far away from my body, pulling arch in my back. Maybe it's just a weight distribution adjustment thing.
    Congrats on the Course and the video Mate
    Cheers from Oz🇭🇲👍

    • @Swish82
      @Swish82  5 месяцев назад

      Thank you. My pack is large an it's a Canvas style. Space blanket was 5x7.

    Did you have to carry your tent the entire time if you tent camp? Or can you put it away after the first night?

    • @Swish82
      @Swish82  Год назад +2

      No. Your tent stays in place at camp, but you do carry the packing list with you the entire time.

    Were you able to pick your partner for the course or did they just pair you up my cousin and I are going in June and would like to work together if possible

    • @Swish82
      @Swish82  5 месяцев назад

      They just told us to pair up so we picked but I heard sometimes you don't get that option. Stick close to who you want to pair up with and you should get it.

    From what i read those basic classes are $500 a person for 2 or 3 days.... i just cant wrap my head around paying that much to basically be homeless on Dave's property for 3 days esp what they are teaching is common sense stuff at the basic class and if a person needs to attend that class they have no place in the woods.. Dave is laughing all the way to the bank..What survival school did Dave go to?? he didnt.. which proves You dont need to go to some overpriced "school" to learn these skills, its a scam!! I have learned and mastered many knots just by reading practicing and perfecting FOR FREE..$500 for a piece of paper and a patch smh.. like i said, laughing all the way to the bank...i hope they fed you well for that price...
