I've been watching your videos for the last couple of days (yes I subscribed ;) ) I just wanted to say that I've watched hundreds of youtube videos (on bushcraft and survival) and honestly yours are some of the best!! It's great to see that when you make a mistake you'll acknowledge it, tell us why, and how to fix it. That's probably the most important thing you teach! Also great seeing dads doing these kinds of things with their kids! If there were more dads out there like you this county would be a better place!!! Great work and keep em' coming!!
I have been watching your videos for only a few months and already Im waiting for your next one to come out having watched your previous videos (well most anyway). Excellent work and a fresh and practical approach to bushcraft, camping and survival techniques.
Cool, I'm glad you like the videos. As far as I know, there was a lot of canvas in the older web set ups, the newer nylon ones are so much better and with the padding its just plain comfortable. I have a few Condor Molle components myself and thats some good gear too. Take care and Thanks for watching my friend.
Thanks Bill! I'm glad you liked it Yep, these are not very well known ideas but in a true bad situation, you need every drop of clean water you can get no matter how you get it. Man theres nothing rope cant do. I always stick to simple knots. I dont even remember the names of them half the time. LOL.Thanks for watching my friend.
Thanks Brother! I'm glad you liked it. I got sick of breaking good spindles so thats where the PVC tube idea came from. It was just a handy place to store some paracord too. Good to hear from you man and Thanks for watching my friend.
I must say that not only do I enjoy your videos, I really appreciate them as well. It's great that you have such a lively way of presenting things that don't make it seem like you are telling us what to do, more like a friend giving some well tuned friendly advice. And I agree, paracord bracelets and key-fobs are definitely an "emergency only" use. They take forever to unwind, that's why I made a quick deploy belt that unravels like a cartoon sweater. Take care.
I'm blessed to have had the oppertunity to see this video. It was very informative. The rope bed looked comfy. I've heard it say dig a hole by the water but wasn't explained to this extent. The water didn't sound drinkable because every time I dug near a water source it was always terribly muddy. This method looked really good. Thank you so much for sharing this information. I appreciate how you take time to explain what you're doing. 👍
I'm glad you liked it Theresa. Always dig at least one foot away from a creek. Allow at least one hour for sediments to settle at the bottom and it should be safe to drink. Take care and thanks for watching
Thanks! I'm glad you like the videos Eddie. I hate filming without Nick but its just hard to get together with him. Man I loved that coffee. I have brewed most of it in a percolater over a wood fire in my back yard. The way coffee is supposed to be made.Take care brother and Thanks for watching my friend.
Cool! Always good to hear that. I'm glad you like the videos. Man I know so many people that life just gets in the way and they can not find time to camp or even just hike. Tough to make time aint it? Thanks for watching my friend.
Brother thats one of the best compliments I ever got. Thank you. I have no college degree, Im just a guy working on stuff in the backyard. Take care and Thanks for watching my friend.
Cool! I'm glad you liked it. Always good to hear you learn from them. Man that will be awesome if you set up a good rope bed. When you do things like this near other campers, it blows their minds! Good luck brother, do a good job and make me proud! Thanks for watching my friend.
I just watched again. This is a very neat way to make a bed. You did a great job on this one for sure, David. Thanks, for all your info that you sure share with us all.
@@nickduerr6400 Amazon has it :-) : smile.amazon.com/ROTHCO-UTILITY-ROPE-OLIVE-DRAB/dp/B00E9WH7G0/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=rothco+rope&qid=1582342204&sr=8-1
Dave. I'm living vicariously in the Gorgian woods. This is great instruction. I take notes. I need to get some of that Rothco rope. At least one 25ft Hank in the bug out bag. I will use that water purification with the vines. Corporals corner taught me to use an more package to gather water. You can set up a whole bunch of those like traps. Thanks again for such great info based upon experience.
Great to hear that Patrick and I'm glad you found it helpful. I'd carry at least 50 feet of that rope. 100 if you live in a hilly area. Thanks for watching brother.
Yes, that was one of the methods for getting safe drinking water for if all you have is a knife like that. Its a horrible method to use and doesnt give you much water but it is possible if needed. I'm glad the H system was helpful to show. I know a lot of folks have trouble with attaching them butt packs and belts.
"Having things that you love and remind you of home... will take you back home." Excellent! That was one of those profound moments David. It says it all, as far as I am concerned. Thanks for sharing some explanations with us. Great video my friend. Peace . . . . . . .
Sounds cool! If its weaved right its the most comfortable bed you can improvise in the woods. Whats cool abut the rope over a hammock is it can work on any number of or spacing of trees. Good luck with it and Thanks for watching my friend.
Man now thats awesome to hear! I was a scout leader myself and it can be tough to find what interests scouts sometimes. things like this rope bed grab young minds and get them interested quick. I'm glad you like what I do, Thanks for watching my friend.
I have started using many of your skills while I go on my deer trips. Though I live in NC, I also hunt in Wisconsin. Last season the high got to 10'F. I used the El Cheapo fireplace. It kept me warm all night. Keep the skills coming.
You are a hoot even in the older videos...that's one reason I enjoy watching...don't ever grow up and remain the same, as I have...for life is much more fun that way...PS never thought I would find someone who that's and laughs as I do...keep up the good work!
Hello, I wanted to Thank you for droppin' all this knowledge. My wife and I are newb's and trying to research the best equipment and method's for camping/survival. It has to be said, we have learned more from watching your vids over the past few weeks than all other sources combined! We think Your freekin awesome...We also live in the deep south ."Ga. to be exact". so we feel right at home with you :-).. We also love the detailed info so Keep up the great work and Thanks again
+SimShady Always great to hear what you have said! Its good knowing all the stuff I put into vids is useful. I guess even better you live in Georgia too. We both know the hot humid summers and crazy winters we have. Take care and Thanks for watching
As always, informative, well done and fun to watch. Thanks, appreciate your efforts, no easy task handling the camera and showing your equipment and methods!
OK, sounds cool. I'll check out that knife. Im glad you like them two shelters, they are pretty cool designs. Take care and Thanks for watching my friend.
Cool! Always good to hear that Brother Mike. You may be right about that with Atwood because they are a huge company that makes a lot of sorage and rope for boating applications. I can tell tho that that rope is made in the same plant somewhere here in the USA. I'm glad you told me that. Take care and Thanks for watching my friend.
Sounds cool man. I use Dyneema for my hammock and its great for that. Yes, its too thin for a bed and wont be comfortable. I am honestly amazed at how strong Dyneema and Amsteel is for its diameter. Take care and Thanks for watching my friend.
Great video love the smoker. The bowl that held the wood chips, is call a double boiler. It's used sometimes to melt chocolate or indirect heat cooking. Also you can use a quart size bag, to handle you food with out cross contamination . Always like your grilling. JR
Really enjoyed it. I didn't know about the grass and the rock. I like it. Love the cradle hammock, It did look comfortable, I will have to try a few small things first with the rope before I try the hammock. But I do want to try it. Can't wait to see the next part. You are a TRUE INSPIRATION. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge. Take care
Very cool brother! Good to hear you got some rope. Youll have a ton of goods uses for it. I love that knife too, I just wish they still made em like it. Thanks for watching my friend.
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. Oh yes man, its great to have them trees. You can set up almost any style shelter you want there. I do use a bug net in the summer and I always use one when Im in the swamp. The mosquitoes are terrible around here. I had a one man tent once and I loved it. Perfect size for backpacking. Thanks for watching my friend.
Sounds good to me, I think youll really like it. With a backpack, you have a big lump o weight on one spot. The beauty of the H suspenders and buttpack is you can mount things high or low on the back, on the front of the harness, or all around the pistol belt in pouches. You can really tailor it to balance out the weight big time. I have trouble climbing steep hills with a back pack but its a breeze with this set up. Good luck and Thanks for watching my friend.
I enjoy your vids very much, they are entertaining and always chock full of useful tips and information that I have not seen anywhere else. Thank you and please keep them coming. Very good point about the will to survive being key, and reminders of your life and loved ones being the source of that will.
Informative, practical and fun video, the sliding aspect to adjust the bed is useful as fine tweaking could be the difference to a good nights sleeping, thanks for all this info David.
Good video. I saw that same water technique demonstrated on another channel. I don't think the guy used grass and dug a little further away from the water's edge but essentially the same technique. He just waited until the sediment settled and boiled the water. The grass, though, is good thinking. That water was clearer than one would think. Love your videos. Still trying to catch up.
I always enjoy your videos! Your past videos insired me to try a web belt setup. I started with a Vietnam era H harness and it wasnt very comfortable. I swithed to a newer style with more padding and its much better! I have the same belt and butt pack. Its a great minimal gear set up! I added a condor edc mailbag with a bit more gear and im in fat city when I head into the woods! Thanks for sharing all your great ideas!
David my friend, this was a great video. Thank you for taking the time to shoot it. You did pretty well filming by yourself, but it sure is a blessing to have Nick film for you. My videos all suffer because I have to film myself. God bless. John
I think this was the video where you showed where a guy was marketing little cans with 20 ft of para cord in them. Well if you dip or know of someone who does, you have free cans to fill with cordage!! Free tip to you and all those that read. That's my gift to the bushcrafting world! LOL. Keep up the videos, they're both entertaining and educational!! Be safe
You do an excellent job filming by yourself. I know it's hard work. I just wanted to let you know we all appreciate your extra efforts to get it done. xoxo from Arizona.
thank you John, I'm glad you liked it. I was happy to shoot this one and I shot another one for next week. Be sure and catch it, I mentioned you in it! Having nick film them is great. I know first hand how tough it is to do things and run the camera too. Take care and Thanks for watching my friend.
Man thats awesome to hear. I hadnt seen many folks talking about lanyards so I felt it was good to show it. Take care and Thanks for watching my friend.
Enjoyed it my friend. Good advice and techniques. Just add to those that don't know how, learn what is poison before using vine for water. When I saw the bramble vines you cleared it reminded me of my property here in south Alabama. Brambles and hardwoods are everywhere. I feel safer there instead of pines in these warmer days. Eastern diamondbacks are crawlin' these days. Careful out in the woods folks!
Ive used several types in the past but have pretty much stuck to one kind the last few years. Rothco 3/8 diameter camo rope. Polyproplene outer, nylon core. Made in the USA. Thanks for watching my friend.
Sounds cool! That Cradle style is the most comfortable bed I know of made out of rope if set up just right. Good luck and have some fun with it. I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching my friend.
Hey dave, always love the intro.hope to hear from nick soon,I always like innovative ideas you come up with. wow boiling in your knife is the will to live,walking though grass caching water , never would of thought of it. wow again ,a vine for water too.your rope ideas for hammocks and shelters have convinced to carry a lot of rope. simple knots always work just fine ,good tech. ..bill
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it and found it fun. Yes, your hit it on the head, it is very very tough to do all the filming myself. It honestly doubles the work. Thanks for watching my friend.
Thanks for sharing all the great ideas. I had the silly idea of putting my fanny pack on my thigh the way you do a holster, but then I thought, well that would be hittin' everything...I'd have to walk a wide path. So...I do mostly Wisconsin's groomed paths and open parks now anyway. I'll have to study how to bundle a Paracord in aline like that so you can pull it open UNTANGLED. My bundles usually fall into a mess all caught up. I don't want to go off grid, but some fun stuff you don't need a grid. I wouldn't even need a fire...I could use your oven-type ideas with the wind block ideas. Thanks SO Much!👌
I'm glad I could help you out Linda. I think I have a video showing that paracord winding trick but can't remember which one. Take care and thanks for watching
Thanks Tito! I'm glad you liked it. I got sick of breaking my good hand drill spindles so that where the tube idea came from. Thanks for watching my friend.
i am absolutely borrowing your style for gear carry. i have real bad back problems but insist on going out into the bush nonetheless and i think pistol belt/H suspenders are gonna work great for me. great videos man and thanks for the good idea!
Add a bug net to the rope "hammock" and we are good to go here in our Philippine tropical paradise. Several varieties of skeeters in the tropics carry bad things such as malaria and dengue fever. The best choice is to take precautions against a bite from one of these pests. Excellent video presentation.
Hey now thats pretty cool! Yep, you got a great place to store some cordage there. I hot glue one end, wrap a little and hot glue every 4 to 6 inches then hot glue the end. That will make it stay on but it will tear off easily if needed. The water tips are cool but only in a dire situation. Man, I knew I had to drink it! LOL. I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching my friend.
I have made a few water filters before. I usually use a sock and some rocks, sand and charcoal from a fire. Its really nothing special tho. Just what all the survival books show. Very good to hear I have inspired you! Thanks for watching my friend.
That web gear shown is the same type I used to have in the Canadian Forces back in the 90's lol same butt pack too lol That's so cool. awesome kit. Another awesome video! :D
I kinda understand what you mean. I never put anything solid under them bottom straps. I always put stuff that can crush like a poncho or blanket. I do understand the metal spacer bars. Good idea man! Thanks for watching my friend.
I made it myself. I got some ripstop nylon and a eyelet kit from the fabric store . I sewed it together and coated it with silicone. Its 60 inch x 8 feet. I'm glad you like the videos so much. Thanks for watching my friend.
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. That rope bed is very comfy. I hear ya , a lot of friends of mine cant sleep in a hammock. This style of rope bed is a thousand times more comfy than sleeping on the ground. That grass water filter is a dandy for emergencies. Thanks for watching my friend.
As always good to be back! I had tons of problems with a flooded basement but now its over. I'd much rather be filming. I'm glad you liked it. Take care and Thanks for watching my friend.
Well that Parker ImaI was made in Japan back in the 80s and it sno longer made and I have only found one other like it so its pretty rare. Yep, that tube could carry water, I hadnt thought of that. Yes, your machete is safe and sound. LOL. I have used that Arbolito knife a little bit. I dont really want to wear it out tho. Its such a nice knife. Good to hear from you again bro and Thanks for watching my friend.
With the knowledge you have i would like to see how you would build a backpacking diy water filter keep up the good work you inspire me to do more in nature your channel is great
Thanks! I'm glad you like the videos. Man, I hear ya. I HATE it when folks ask you to thumbs up. That just makes it no big deal to get thumbs up. More videos in the works as soon as I get time. Take care and Thanks for watching my friend.
Such great, simple advice.....this guy is so on the money for what outdoor people are looking for...plus he's got a great video presence...where the heck is his reality show ?!!
It's always good to hear when friends learn stuff from me. Thanks for watching my friend.
I've been watching your videos for the last couple of days (yes I subscribed ;) ) I just wanted to say that I've watched hundreds of youtube videos (on bushcraft and survival) and honestly yours are some of the best!! It's great to see that when you make a mistake you'll acknowledge it, tell us why, and how to fix it. That's probably the most important thing you teach! Also great seeing dads doing these kinds of things with their kids! If there were more dads out there like you this county would be a better place!!! Great work and keep em' coming!!
i agree with that
Agreed!
Well said, Mam!
I have been watching your videos for only a few months and already Im waiting for your next one to come out having watched your previous videos (well most anyway). Excellent work and a fresh and practical approach to bushcraft, camping and survival techniques.
Really good stuff, David. We all appreciate your time, knowledge and most of all- your humor!
Cool, I'm glad you like the videos. As far as I know, there was a lot of canvas in the older web set ups, the newer nylon ones are so much better and with the padding its just plain comfortable. I have a few Condor Molle components myself and thats some good gear too. Take care and Thanks for watching my friend.
Cool, I'm glad you liked it. Good to hear you have you pack cleaned out and your ready to go. Now hit them woods! Thanks for watching my friend.
Thanks Bill! I'm glad you liked it Yep, these are not very well known ideas but in a true bad situation, you need every drop of clean water you can get no matter how you get it. Man theres nothing rope cant do. I always stick to simple knots. I dont even remember the names of them half the time. LOL.Thanks for watching my friend.
Thanks Brother! I'm glad you liked it. I got sick of breaking good spindles so thats where the PVC tube idea came from. It was just a handy place to store some paracord too. Good to hear from you man and Thanks for watching my friend.
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. You never know when that technique could save a life. Thanks for watching my friend.
I must say that not only do I enjoy your videos, I really appreciate them as well. It's great that you have such a lively way of presenting things that don't make it seem like you are telling us what to do, more like a friend giving some well tuned friendly advice. And I agree, paracord bracelets and key-fobs are definitely an "emergency only" use. They take forever to unwind, that's why I made a quick deploy belt that unravels like a cartoon sweater. Take care.
I'm blessed to have had the oppertunity to see this video. It was very informative. The rope bed looked comfy. I've heard it say dig a hole by the water but wasn't explained to this extent.

Thanks! I'm glad you like the videos Eddie. I hate filming without Nick but its just hard to get together with him. Man I loved that coffee. I have brewed most of it in a percolater over a wood fire in my back yard. The way coffee is supposed to be made.Take care brother and Thanks for watching my friend.
I love being in the woods, and I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching my friend.
Cool! Always good to hear that. I'm glad you like the videos. Man I know so many people that life just gets in the way and they can not find time to camp or even just hike. Tough to make time aint it? Thanks for watching my friend.
Thank you Dave.Your Survival knowledge is priceless ! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🌈
Thanks Pat!

Always great to hear that and I'm happy you watched it twice! When woven right, it is one comfortable bed. Thanks for watching Danny
Could you give us a link to where exactly you buy your rothco rope?

Thanks Brother, I'm glad you liked it and its always good to hear when a friend learns stuff from me. Thanks for watching my friend.
I had fun, hope you had fun and I learned something. Great as always Dave. Made it a few night episode so I could watch it all. I enjoy it every time.
Sounds cool! That Cradle style is the most comfortable bed I know of made out of rope if set up just right. Good luck and have some fun with it. I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching my friend.
Thanks Charlie! I'm glad you liked it. I am more than happy to make these videos for all my friends. Thanks for watching my friend.

Thanks! I'm glad you liked it and found it fun. Yes, your hit it on the head, it is very very tough to do all the filming myself. It honestly doubles the work. Thanks for watching my friend.
Thanks for sharing all the great ideas. I had the silly idea of putting my fanny pack on my thigh the way you do a holster, but then I thought, well that would be hittin' everything...I'd have to walk a wide path. So...I do mostly Wisconsin's groomed paths and open parks now anyway. I'll have to study how to bundle a Paracord in aline like that so you can pull it open UNTANGLED. My bundles usually fall into a mess all caught up. I don't want to go off grid, but some fun stuff you don't need a grid. I wouldn't even need a fire...I could use your oven-type ideas with the wind block ideas. Thanks SO Much!👌
I'm glad I could help you out Linda. I think I have a video showing that paracord winding trick but can't remember which one. Take care and thanks for watching
@@Reallybigmonkey1 ok I'll keep lookin'.
@@lindakleckner215 I found a video where I showed paracord hanking, it's towards the end of this video ruclips.net/video/ndOEWGN70Jw/видео.html
Thanks Tito! I'm glad you liked it. I got sick of breaking my good hand drill spindles so that where the tube idea came from. Thanks for watching my friend.
Thanks! always good to hear that and I'm glad you liked it. I have another one like this coming up next week. Thanks for watching my friend.
Thanks Chris! I'm glad you like what I do and how i do it. Thanks for watching my friend.
i am absolutely borrowing your style for gear carry. i have real bad back problems but insist on going out into the bush nonetheless and i think pistol belt/H suspenders are gonna work great for me. great videos man and thanks for the good idea!
Thanks brother! I'm glad you liked it. Sty tuned for part two next week. Shae is gonna like the end of the video. Thanks for watching my friend.
Great to see you back David, sunny days ahead! Enjoyed the vid, I think the rope hammock is so cool. a.t.b.
Add a bug net to the rope "hammock" and we are good to go here in our Philippine tropical paradise. Several varieties of skeeters in the tropics carry bad things such as malaria and dengue fever. The best choice is to take precautions against a bite from one of these pests. Excellent video presentation.
Round here I always carry a bug net in the summer. Thanks for the info and thanks for watching
Hey now thats pretty cool! Yep, you got a great place to store some cordage there. I hot glue one end, wrap a little and hot glue every 4 to 6 inches then hot glue the end. That will make it stay on but it will tear off easily if needed. The water tips are cool but only in a dire situation. Man, I knew I had to drink it! LOL. I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching my friend.
Thanks Tony! I'm happy to share these ideas. I love making videos. Thanks for watching my friend.
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. I hate being gone so long but I wound up being busy all the time. Thanks for watching my friend.
Enjoyed the new video, thanks for taking us along with you.
I have made a few water filters before. I usually use a sock and some rocks, sand and charcoal from a fire. Its really nothing special tho. Just what all the survival books show. Very good to hear I have inspired you! Thanks for watching my friend.
Thanks Brother! I'm glad you liked it. Man I feel like the woods is the only place for me. Take care and Thanks for watching my friend.
That web gear shown is the same type I used to have in the Canadian Forces back in the 90's lol same butt pack too lol That's so cool. awesome kit. Another awesome video! :D
Thats cool! I love using that gear, it makes minimalist hiking and one nighters so easy. Thanks for watching!
Thanks Brother Donald! I'm glad you liked it. Take care and Thanks for watching my friend.
Sounds cool! Im always a barrel of laughs, ha ha. I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching my friend.
I kinda understand what you mean. I never put anything solid under them bottom straps. I always put stuff that can crush like a poncho or blanket. I do understand the metal spacer bars. Good idea man! Thanks for watching my friend.
gotta love the gear always fun to watch thanks dave glad to see nicks back tom.
Thanks Brother! I'm glad you liked it. Im always happy to share. Thanks for watching my friend.
I made it myself. I got some ripstop nylon and a eyelet kit from the fabric store . I sewed it together and coated it with silicone. Its 60 inch x 8 feet. I'm glad you like the videos so much. Thanks for watching my friend.
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. That rope bed is very comfy. I hear ya , a lot of friends of mine cant sleep in a hammock. This style of rope bed is a thousand times more comfy than sleeping on the ground. That grass water filter is a dandy for emergencies. Thanks for watching my friend.
As always good to be back! I had tons of problems with a flooded basement but now its over. I'd much rather be filming. I'm glad you liked it. Take care and Thanks for watching my friend.
Thanks Brother! I'm glad you liked it. Good to have you along. Thanks for watching my friend.
wow what a great video . your just full of such great information .it's great to see you back looking forward to your next vid
Cool, I'm glad you liked it. You never know when them water tips may just be really needed. Thanks for watching my friend.
Well that Parker ImaI was made in Japan back in the 80s and it sno longer made and I have only found one other like it so its pretty rare. Yep, that tube could carry water, I hadnt thought of that. Yes, your machete is safe and sound. LOL. I have used that Arbolito knife a little bit. I dont really want to wear it out tho. Its such a nice knife. Good to hear from you again bro and Thanks for watching my friend.
With the knowledge you have i would like to see how you would build a backpacking diy water filter keep up the good work you inspire me to do more in nature your channel is great
Thanks Terry! I'm glad you liked it. If this is set up just right, its a very very comfy bed indeed. Good luck and Thanks for watching my friend.
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it. give everything I do a try. Its all fun. LOL. Thanks for watching my friend.
Thanks! I'm glad you like the videos. Man, I hear ya. I HATE it when folks ask you to thumbs up. That just makes it no big deal to get thumbs up. More videos in the works as soon as I get time. Take care and Thanks for watching my friend.
Cool! I'm glad you like the videos and the info. I have another one like this coming out next week. Thanks for watching my friend.
Such great, simple advice.....this guy is so on the money for what outdoor people are looking for...plus he's got a great video presence...where the heck is his reality show ?!!
