    I gotta tell you Brother, I wish we lived closer so I could buy you a cup of coffee. You are a huge help to all of us who enjoy the outdoors. As I am sure you agree, we never stop learning. Any of us who thinks there is an end to the knowledge of the woods is wrong and you my friend are an open book and I thanks you. May God continue to bless you and your family. Thanks Dave. Kevin

    Dave I just want to thank you for what you do. I have learned so much over the last few months. I have reached the ripe old age of 65 and am still learning. I love to hunt and fish. I will get back to camping in the spring after about a 25 year break. This time I plan on a doing it with out the camper or store bought tent. Back to nature. Thank you

    Dave, I have been following your channel for years now and always enjoy living vicariously through your outdoor adventures. I am disabled so not able to get outdoors much.
    Your work with these videos is such a blessing to me I wish you the very best.

    Greetings Dave. I wanted to finally drop you a note here. I truly love this series of yours. As much of a 'gadget' guy as I am I still love the basics. Knowing what was used in the past and how it was used is truly the basis for what we do today. For me it just amounts to finding modern versions of the basic items that will still do the job. That's why I enjoy your channel so much. It's mostly about the knowledge and then what you can use to implement it. Thanks so much.

  • @Smith28Adventure

    Dave you look like a Harrison Ford of the woods.
    I loved this video. You always say a humble thank you at the end of your vids, never ask for "likes, comments or subscriptions" like lots of people, I love what your channel is about. Keep up the fantastic stuff you do. THANK YOU
    Also, I like the point on a good nights sleep and a full belly, I agree that with those two things, you can suffer an awful lot and keep going!

    Dave, I said it before and I will say it again... you have learned, demonstrated and teach the best survival philosophy I have ever seen! The 5/10 C's are so simple, effective and powerful. I refer anyone who asks me about this type of stuff to your videos. Thank you sir!

    Been watching your videos for a little while now. I love your "modern longhunter" approach. I do 18th century living history events in Southern Illinois. I've recently started getting more and more interested in trekking. Several of your videos, this one included have helped me take a look at my "rendezvous" camp and see how easy I could pare it down to longhunter trekking gear. And how that same kit and skiillset can be applied to a SHTF scenario. Thanks for the great work... keep 'em coming!

  • @leehoffman1282

    Love the basics bro. Been reading Sears and Kephart, at your recommendation. Both very knowledgeable. It is awesome to see you show what they taught and wrote about, also your 21st Century take on it all. I also appreciate your candid, straight forward responses to questions and comments. "Finer n frog hair" and humerous at times. Any chance you ever thought about doing something like a live chat session? I know I'd tune in. You already do alot for us out here, but just thinking aloud.

    I know I'm commenting on a different video but the comments were disabled on it... in the video when you were processing the rabbit, you said to make sure there weren't any spots or worms in the organs... just curious, if you do find worms or spots does that mean you shouldn't eat the meat and why?

  • @YankeeWoodcraft
    @YankeeWoodcraft 11 лет назад +1

    This exactly the same system I find myself most attracted to: Common sense, near maintenance-free bulletproof gear with weight savings coming not from sacrificing quality, but from using multi-use items in order to eliminate unnecessary bits. I love old world gear (leather, wool, etc...), next USGI Surplus Gear and then I dabble in Expedition Grade gear. But give me steel, wool, leather, wood any day of the week and twice on Sunday. Weight? it weighs what it needs to weigh to keep me alive.

    I've tried sleeping without a net tent twice, once on top of a usgi poncho with a woobie as a blanket, and once inside of a usgi Gore-Tex bivy with a usgi poncho as a tarp. Both times I was eaten alive by mosquitoes, and the last time I found 3 ticks on myself afterwards. My net tent is 14.7 Oz, and I will not be camping without it.

  • @awesomesongs9832

    How did they sleep warm in the middle of winter with just a wool blanket? Heat up rocks and put them under them with a layer of dirt between the rocks and the blanket?

  • @wnchillbilly1
    @wnchillbilly1 11 лет назад

    Dave, you made a comment about ticks that I'd like to ask you a question about. I know you're a big proponent of using tarps instead of tents. Is there something you spray on the ground/leaf litter to keep them off of you?

    Great series, I also don't recall ever reading that alcohol was used for old time cooking.
    Too valuable as disinfectant or for trade, even folks who didn't drink kept some on hand. First processed recreational drink in the new colonies was a wine made from berries, grapes had yet to be grown here.

    @GiveToTheFire 11 лет назад

    Is the term "longhunter" referring to the gun you're using or as in long-term? The tin with the charred pulp wood, did it have a lens built into the lid and was it sold for the purpose you use it for? Great video as always. Thanks bud.

  • @kullcraven

    Dave very good video, really love the old style and always have. On my last camp i was telling my buddy that all we used really was a match, tarp,sleeping system and rope.Tho used canteen to cook in. You dont need much as you said, shelter,cook kit, sleeping system that is it. I made a vid if you want to check it out.

    Here is a silly question for you. Will a magnifying glass's rays create enough heat at night by using a high intensity flashlight source or just sun rays work? Can a red or green laser be used at night through a magnifying glass for starting a fire? I don't want to go blind in and attempt lol.

  • @JonJon205
    @JonJon205 11 лет назад

    Dave. You may or may not have tried this. To clean your muzzleloader use equal parts of Murphys Oil Soap, Hydrogen Perixide, and Rubbing Alcohol. If shooting a flintlock, u can use a toothpick to plug your touchhole usually. Pour contents into your barrel and rapidly brush your barrel. Its like back woods foaming bore cleaner. There is a chemical reaction and the peroxide debridges the barrell. Carry the three ingrediets in 6 hr energy shot bottles. All contents dual purpose. Brush teeth w perox

    @Kayakwinds 11 лет назад

    Dave, what is the blanket wrapped in? A tarp? You used to advocate the blanket on the outside and the tarp on the inside in order to protect the tarp. Here's an observation: many people are horribly out of shape, so I guess they do need to be concerned about pack weight. Also, if one becomes sick or injured, the weight of a pack becomes a major consideration. I'm just thinking out loud, Dave. Excellent video!

    Great vid Dave. Is there any historical evidence of the frontiersman carrying a spade with them. Though I don't bring my Gerber folding shovel often, I think it would be an indispensable kit item for any extended stay. Its versatility never fails to amaze me when I do bring it. Thanks for all.

Tobacco, including pipes and plug, dried meats, staples like floor etc, I would like to see you do a video on some of these luxury items that induce 'thriveability' like they had for extended woodland stays, and how it would all fare in carry with the basics. Thanks!!

    Dave, I have come to the conclusion that my main source of food year round will be 'birds'. I would like to see you do some variables of bird snares. In every season and in all kinds of weather, there are thousands of birds coming and going. I think this knowledge of how to catch dozens of birds a day should the need arise should be common knowledge and one of the first things a person should do after securing camp. What do you think about my mindset here?

    well it is now tick season, at least here in south central ky.. the ticks have always been bad around here and now we have had two mild winters in a row. i think they will be mounting a major assault on us this year.
    what did the outdoorsmen of old do to help keep ticks from snacking on them? i remember in the hunting magazines from the 70's they said you could eat the heads from a match two or three times a week and that would keep them off you. do you or any of your viewers have any methods.
