Can we take a second to appreciate what an effective educator Dave is? Not just in substance but in style. His teaching skills are a craft unto their own.
I never saw my dad without having a two bladed pocket knife. He had a small sharpening stone on a small table near his easy chair and his knife blades appeared to have lost a lot of metal from sharpening. I’d like to add that in the highly technical world we live in today, I haven’t seen anyone with as much detail knowledge of his craft as Dave.
DEFINITELY one of your more informative and concise videos. Lengthy videos are fine when there's informational or entertainment value. Great content. 👍🏽
Nice to see you mention Ben Orford, one the UKs finest knife makers, check out some of his knives, they are works of art, he's super talented, and his wife Lois does superb leather work for the sheaths, and he is also a really genuinely nice guy.
Crafting stuff is where it's at! Love sitting in the woods by the fire relaxing and just making stuff.
Thanks Dave. Educational and entertaining. I can't believe that was 38 minutes!
Fantastic video Dave. Really helps put into perspective what our intentions are heading into nature and what tools allow us to enjoy and be most productive with what limited time we have.
These 'long' show n' tells from a pro are my favourites. A 'conversation' that induces me to look over my entire kit... and look forward to getting back out there.
2nd time watching this video, had to take notes for my bushcrafting-wood carving wishlist! Outstanding video and I loved the axe rant! Thank you Dave!
One of the very most important tools you can have are lineman's pliers and wire for quickly making and fastening wood together. From shelter to the homemade bed and everything you need you will use them over and over and will be one of your most used tools
When I car camp, I bring a small canvas tool bag that holds a knife, axe, folding saw, hammer, adjustable wrench, pliers, rope/cord/twine, carabiners, multi-tool, knife/axe sharpener, ferro rod and cotton tinder as a minimum. This doesn’t change much when I’m bike-camping, but of course I also carry bike specific tools. I also have a carving multi-tool if I think I want/need to use it
I like the idea of a folding saw with different blades. A nice way to reduce weight and add functionality.
PS - I appreciate the thank you’s to the community at the end of every one of your videos. It makes it real and personal, not commercialized.
This video was amazing. The longer form content was appreciated. Your information and instruction is second to none.
Thank you for continuing to take the time and effort to share your knowledge! I know many of us are super grateful for that! 🙏
This was crazy informative! Every time he was talking about a tool or an edge of a blade I kept thinking "will he explain why?" and before I could finish my thought there he was explaining! Great video, well worth a watch. Thank you, sir for the information in its abundance.
That forged awl and draw knife look great. Wish I could get them in Canada
I have always enjoyed your work Dave!
It is to Dave Canterbury & Les Stroud I owe my ongoing love of this stuff.
I’m calling it right now for either Dual Survival 2.0 with Les n Dave OR “Survivormen”
Why someone hasn’t thrown a few mill behind such an obvious hit …is a mystery. They’re the two most beloved professionals and have the strongest diehard fan bases
Who, here, wouldn’t set their calendars to watch Dave n Les take on the outdoors? And we wouldn’t need phony amplified “differences” either. Both men ROCK
Missed the longer videos. I know the current generation can’t focus more than 15 seconds, but I enjoy them.
Great information like always. The length was appropriate for the topic. Thank you for the information.
Thanks for this. You've answered a lot of questions I didn't realize I needed answered.
The videos are never too long man, i can watch these all day. Thanks for all the knowledge brother.
I was so captivated by your teaching prowess,I'd have sweared this vid only lasted 15 minutes tops! Many Thanks Dave,Cheers!!
Turn on CC Closed Caption. The CC button reads Subtitles/closed captions unavailable. For those of us with hearing difficulties, CC is a major help understanding what you are saying. Thank you.
Brother Dave, you just answered my question concerning a neck knife. Thank you.
Great vid Dave appreciate it. I once carved a spoon with a 6 inch fixed blade for lunch at work, I was high north on a large sight and used a generator manifold to cook my soup while I carved the spoon lol
Years ago, I had a friend that was a gun show vendor. One show he had a old nail keg full of axe and hatchet heads. At $2 a pop I had to dig through them. I found a old hatchet head of the type used in factories for wooden crates. One of the claws was broken. But, I didn't care. I took the other off with a cutoff wheel. This left me with a hardened poll. A single bevel blade, like a broadax. I fitted it with a framing hammer handle.
It's one of the handiest tools I carry.
It's very similar in size and profile to your axes.
What An Awesome And Informative Lesson Mister Canterbury,Thanks Dave.
Thank you for passing on your knowledge gained from experience.
I'm tired explaining all the time, that Bahco Laplander, is a general use saw.Something like a "srivival" tool, or a hunters saw.It's not designed to cut only wood, that's why it's slower on wood. It's designed to cut any other soft material, like plastick, even bones if it needs to. Again, my go to for wood, is Samurai Ichiban. Bahco Laplander, is in my BOB, just in case of an emergency,it fits that role much better, than the dedicated wood saws. Don't forget the Corona saws, not easy to find in Europe, but in the US and some countries in Asia, it's way easier to get one.Great saws too.
Knowledge is power! Thank you for being a thorough teacher!
I'm in awl of Dave's knowledge 😝
24:02
I’ve had that knife for over 7 years now
Excellent knife
Thanks for the great tips Dave. As always, you give great information, and multiple examples, and the reasoning for the choices you made. Great combination for us to make the decision about what we want to use ourselves.
Really enjoyed the video, nice to watch drink some coffee and smoke a couple darts before work. It a nice way to start the day.
I've been waiting for this for long time. thanks very much
Can we get a video on top 5 wood crafting projects at camp?
I really appreciate your explaining why you pick one type of tool over another. It helps me to see which tools would be good options. Thanks, Dave.
As usual, great information! Thanks for all you do!!
Amazing knowledge. Love the longer videos also.
Good overview, Dave, and well thought out reasoning for all the tools discussed. Thank you.
I like the longer format; not a fan of multi-part videos, especially when you can do time stamps in the description to make navigating longer videos a breeze.
As for knives and such, I've really liked my KA-BAR Becker BK9, along with its companion blade, the "Remora."
That big honkin' blade makes short work of most tasks, and the small blade is a good, light option if you need to do something finer.
I wove yarn into the skeletal grip of the Remora to give a bit better grip. The sheath holds my fire starting kit.
For general small whittling, I've used my Boy Scouts of America pocket knife going on almost 30 years now. That blade has more wear on it than any of my knives, and I use the can opener on a regular basis at home. Is it the best pocket knife? No, of course not. Does it get the job done? Sure does. I saw a modern one my nephew has; they are built like crap now, and feel junky.
One of these days, I'm gonna spring for a proper Swiss Army knife, a good folding saw, and a proper hatchet.
Awsome informative video. Please don't apologize for the axe tangent. I replayed that section 5 times. Thanks for all of your teaching. Cudos from Ohio
This was a great video. I know you've got a lot of material in your older videos and so it's good to see some newer videos because it really brings things up to date. Thanks for sharing your amazing content and looking forward to the new book you're working on. It'd be cool to see what you'd have for tools for building a cabin.
Great breakdown
Thanks David. Much appreciated brother. 🔥🤙🏻🇺🇸
That's some nice still to do a lot with.
Priceless presentation. Thanks for sharing.
I love the Blue Jay's in the background. Reminds me of bow season here in MI. Love your knowledge, and thank you for sharing it.👍
Thank you for another great video on things that you can carry out in the woods to make things easier what's the best tool that you can take out there is knowledge and the only way to get out and get the knowledge is get out and do the dirt time as you always say thank you once again Dave
for me Dave is the E.F. Hutton of bushcrafting...
3:40 the wooden wedge is also safer than metal. Experts who have a chainsaw still use a wooden wedge for a lot of things.
Sir,I would like you to know that I learned more about tools in general, and I am no stranger to tools by any means,I am not a young man,and over the years I've done a variety of jobs and used quite a few different tools,and thought I knew quite a bit about them,but I definitely know more than I did 38 minutes ago,I will be recommending this video to young lads and old goats like myself alike, thank you very much Sir.
12:40 A word on the Hult Bruk. I live on the Olympic Peninsula, NW Washington. Like many enthusiastic students of this channel I forked over top dollar for a “Scandinavian axe crafted in a 400 year old foundry” and was thrilled to receive my axe, 4 years ago. It was that boxy Hult head. 3.5 pounds. 32” handle. Used it for 3 winters & processed local woods to the tune of 18 cords, total.
Ultimately my axe skills were still developing (much better now) and it was time to replace the handle due to bad swings and compromising/chipping the lug area of the handle. (Men? Do a leather wrap on that lug area especially if you’re new to axe work like I was) After speaking to the guy who delivers our wood I went to the local mom n pop hardware store. Explained my situation. The guy at the hardware store handed me a Collins with a 4 pound head. Single bit. I hefted it. Asked about the fiberglass handle and expected a $100-$125 price tag. The axe (made in Mexico) was $39.
I bought it and bought a replacement handle for the Hult. Immediately upon returning home I laid into some Pacific Alder logs with the Collins. BAM! The difference was like that day you abandoned the Gerber folder for a Mora when bushcrafting. No questions or concerns. The Collins is what you want in…my neck of the woods.
I haven’t used the Hult for wood processing again, since. The moral of the story? This is the Olympic Peninsula. Boreal rain forest. It is not nordic tundra in Sweden or Finland. Our flora is different. Processing wood here is different. And no offense to Hult (I’m definitely keeping my first love) but I could’ve bought 4 Collins and dinner with what I paid for the Hult.
Gentlemen? Buy the tools for where YOU live. I’m now in a similar situation because my friend in Maine told me to get a spoke shave for a new businesses I started. Turns out a spoke shave won’t really help me here as much as a robust 5” draw knife will. Same story. The spoke shave I almost bought is $180. The draw knife was $40. Were I processing wood in Maine the spoke shave is the way to go.
Heck, firewood may be one of the last non-globalized commodities on the planet.
PS: Dave, youtube movies just released EVERY episode of Dual Survival. All seasons. The show absolutely tanked once you left. The only watchable combo were the O.G.’s: Dave Canterbury & Cody Lundin. Dave your frustration by the end of season 2 was apparent and FWIW I am firmly in Camp Canterbury. If I had the resources I’d fly to Ohio to train with you. I would not fly to Arizona to train with a man who wears cotton shorts in epic winter conditions. No offense. Cody has skills but Good Lord watching you set snares while Cody banged on that truck hood, surrounded by acoustic buffers, all I could think was “I hope those Producers paid well.”
Hiya Dave, really enjoyed this one and I appreciate the longer, more in depth format videos
hello dave i love to see this kind of information you share whit us.and your knowledge of bushcraft and hunting i whis i live in the states than i had take a course buy you but i lve in the netherlands ..
As always Thanks for sharing your research and knowledge. If the video was 2 hours I would have listened to every minute!👍
Great Explanations. Thanks for Sharing
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks Dave
So good! Thanks Dave!
Thanks Dave this was another great video. Not long enough if you ask me!
Thank you Dave for everything you do
Damn Dave... You are knocking these videos out! Always great info!
As said already... great teacher...cheers for your time.
Thank you Dave. Fantastic video
Dave is a badass! I was here because of dual survival. Learned a lot from you sir. A fan from Philippines!
Thanks for going longer than you meant too on axes. Been on the fence between council tools vs Gransfors bruks. You answered my question. The rest of the info was top notch.
Thank you Dave for a great video love your content and skills keep doing what you're doing 👍
Outstanding video. Thank you for your overview, expertise and suggestions.
Good stuff Dave.
Thank you for your teachings.
Nice update on the woodcraft tool kit. You could update any of your older videos with a more experienced view. Well done.
Great video Dave. Possibly one of your most informative that I have watched. I love PKS and Self-Reliance products for their quality and value. I have purchased several products from SRO, but your showing other items is pretty cool. Thanks for sharing and not just being a commercial.
I really enjoyed the longer video!
Awesome stuff Dave 👍👍great overview.
Great video! Very informative. Length of video is irrelevant. I like the info given all in one video.
Great updates DC. Cheers from Australia.
superb! many thanks Dave. 👍✌🖖
Thank you for sharing all of this great information, and all your hard work. Definitely will be using this. 😊
Excellent video. Love this kind of content. Thank You Dave. I keep a short four sided half round rasp/very course file. Just my preference.
Thank You for sharing! Would you consider doing a small hatchet video?
Great video. Love tool/product recommendations
Good god, could there be a more informative video. This video was absolutely amazing! Thank you sharing your knowledge!
A word on the hammer hatchets. You mentioned a hardened pole. To reinforce your point, I worked with two unhardened poles twenty years ago and got shrapel in the web by my thumb going hammer to hammer to drive through a cherry knot chopping fire wood. Been carrying it ever since.
Dave, outstanding video 📹 great information 👏 definitely knowledge is power.
I like that adapter auger! I’m gonna have to get one of those! My brace is way too heavy to carry regularly.
I was delighted to see the hardened pole on my ColdSteel Trailhawk ™ when I put a forced patina on it
Dave that was a excellent video.
Great info as always. Keep it up, it is appreciated.
love these kind of vids!
Thank you for this video.
Thanks for reaffirming the difference between project carving and construction, and
everyday light camping tools.
Somehow the lines between
surviving, and "bushcrafting"
and woodcraft type camping
got blurred and mingled and
bastardized.
Everybody that has not needs
to find your Jackknives video
and watch it as many times as
it takes to properly absorb it.
Thanks for the informative video
Looking forward to many more
Not a tool to tote around, but for homesteading work... . My dad had welded a wedge ax head on a square, hollow iron bar about 5 ft long. His root chopper. I beat my brothers out to inherit it and i use it often for many purposes.
The companion by Mora, is another fantastic carver, my kids have a 511 was thier first k ife it's phenomenal. Bit the companion has the more comfortable with rubberized Dave!
You should try one dave, they are inexpensive not cheap!
Interesting to learn about that V grind and I'll have to look into to because I want an all around pack axe that i can do some carving and moderate chopping/hewing with.
I totally agree with having the proper knife for the job. I use a hand forged belt knife I bought for $20 at a Renaissance Fair thst has an nice thick spine and it's great for battoning and limbing and heavy work but with a 7-9 inch blade I feel it's just to large for carving. I don't even like using my pocket knife for carving with it's 3-4 inch blade. I go right to my Victorinox Swiss Army Knife my Aunt got in Switzerland, with my name engrabed in the handle, and gave me for my birthday a couple years back. While not a fan of the larger blade, nor of the fact that the blades don't lock, they hold an edge extremely well and thst smaller blade is my go to carving tool. Great for fine work, can be a pain for bigger projects but I'm usually not carving anything bigger than my hand.
I have been looking at Felix Immler on RUclips as well for tips, tricks, and versatility uses with the Swiss Army Knife and he can do a lot of projects, even complex ones, with his knife
I also saw a person grind the back circle end of an old wrench into a concave/hook style tool and it worked good for them
Is carving done on green wood or dry wood,?
Nice!
Not too long
Always good
Thanks Dave, great video...
Who do you recommend for carving jacks and what do I look for in a good one?
Real nice video. I did quite grasp the point you were talking about the shape of the auger. Do you have another video about the auger?
