I'm a retired Outpost Nurse, Dave. I worked in remote parts of northern Canada where there were no resident physicians.
I love your videos. This one, like your others, is solid! Good, sensible, grounded information and recommendations. Same with your set of books. I use your info to improve my EDC on my person, in my vehicle, and my home.
Keep up the good work, Dave. And, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and yours, too.
Very helpful. You are a great teacher. Thank you
Can you do a video on the 5 D's of dodgeball? Love the way you break things down and make it easy to remember. I look forward to attending more of your classes, top notch.
In addition to being a life-long lover of the outdoors, Im a long-serving Paramedic. Needless to say I have a wealth of knowledge in this field. However it is always good to see other professionals' methods for prioritising needs and catering for each one.
I really like the 10 C's, 5 B's and 5 H's system. I find it logical, easily remembered, and consequently, I adopted it soon after I found your channel.
It has admirably stood the test of time.
Dude Dave, when I first discovered your channel, that was the day you changed my life. Now I can't get enough bushcraft uploads. Appreciate you man
"Canterbury" - The 11th C.
The FAK in my old man's work truck was electrical tape or duct tape, a bottle of alcohol or peroxide and a handkerchief. Whatever you couldn't fix with that, we still had the truck to take you to the hospital. But most injuries on the site were cuts, bruises, never had breaks but we came close, sprains and falls. And gosh help you if you didn't need to go to the hospital because you were getting right back on that roof to keep working. My old man's diagnosis was, "Are you going to die? No? Then get back to work." 😂
I am a Safety Professional, and I must say that Dave is one of very special people that I have noticed on internet. He can explain things in such an easy way its just pleasure to listen. In Occupational HSE there is no improvisation alowed, but in a real daily scenarios of ordinary people this is perfect plan to exicute. Thanks once again.
When I was a kid, my dad taught me improvised devices, an improvised tourniquet being one of them. You take off your belt - which is already guaranteed to be longer than your leg is round. You put the belt around your leg and through the buckle, then cinch it down over the buckle back over itself. You then take your leather punch from your Scout knife, and punch a hole into the belt so you can get the buckle prong through it, and that will keep it tight while freeing your hands for other things. As prep, he had me apply my belt to the correct tightness, punch the hole, then immediately undo the belt so as not to damage my limb. This way, I already have the hole punched where it needs to be, assuming I maintain my weight.
Another great improvised device he taught me when he bought me a canoe (which I had for about 20 years, and wish I could have brought it with me when I moved), is the improvised life jacket. That's the one where you remove your pants, tie the cuffs, and then trap the air. I used that one once when I got knocked off a sailboat by someone not looking where they were going while I was tending to the rigging.
There's so much cool stuff you can make in a short amount of time. Real MacGyver stuff.
One of the most helpful courses a trainer-instructor can take is Pre-Hospital Trauma Life Support. Have to be a qualified EMT to take the training, but it addresses the very topics appropo to this subject.
Fantastic video. I always like it when you talk about the underlying theory of everything.
This is an "Excellent" video. Much Appreciated.
Dave, I'd be more than happy to be of service to the Pathfinder School, once a month, as a medic or instructor for first aid.
I've been in ems for 30 years, and an Illinois paramedic for the past 7 years. It would be an honor to serve you, and your school in that area. Just putting that out there.
Thank you for all you, and your staff do on your channel!!!
So many times I've been told i need an IFAK. So many times I've told them that I'm wearing mine. I've been doing first aid courses since I was a Cub Scout; n I just turned 50. I've renewed my ticket every 3yrs since. The last one I helped teach. And she was the only one that agreed that all these IFAKs are just someone realizing they could sell the enedcucated masses something. Thank you for sharing this. When my brother introduced me to Shawn, who led me to you, I first heard about the 10Cs I laughed. Other than a compass, I carry that list everyday since I was 15. As a truck driver, I'm rarely far from a road. But I usually have at least one in my truck. When I go out camping, I carry at least 2. Excellent episode, thank you sir!
Every time lol and I love it, good info thanks Dave!
Self Reliance Outfitters and The Pathfinder School at the pathfinder outdoor classroom
A lot of good information. Thanks for sharing.
I saw you do the Five "Bs", I thought it was very informative. Thanks for Sharing
It all makes so much sense. Thank you, Dave!
Dude is just a genious.
Love the T shirt cut bottom off to make a field ACE bandage.
Thankyou so much for sharing your wisdom Dave. Much appreciated.
Thanks Dave 👍
Mr. Canterbury, first let me say i love all of your work and videos. excellent work sir. I am a veteran critical care Paramedic from the west Texas badlands, as well as an active teacher of emergency medicine, and also experienced and practicing outdoorsman and hunter. over many years, I've found out the hard way there is no such thing as too much information or too much practical knowledge of some subject, particularly when it comes to knowledge that will keep you or someone else alive.....thats why its always referred to as practicing medicine.
Nice job! I love how you tie it all back to the 10Cs and basic preparation! Thanks for putting together another great presentation!
Excellent as always. Thank you for your sharing of your knowledge
😢I want to compliment you on this video! Yes, totally agree that this is a springboard video that makes the viewer "think" about the 10c's in an nontraditional way. I found myself thinking up other first aid uses as you were talking. But I also appreciate putting bleeding and hypersensivity (allergic reaction) at opposite ends of the talking points. I totally agree that control of bleeding is the most serious condition with the best chance of survival with proper training. Whereas allergic reactions are way outside of any reasonable degree of wilderness first aid training without an Epi pen. Great topic and presentation!
Thank you Dave!!! That was a very informative video and you explained the concepts very well. You have a wonderful holidays as well, THANK YOU!!!
Dave proving once again why he's 👑 of bushcrafting .
Great knowledge, and facts. All one has to do is think. Als training is very important. Thank you
Thank you Dave! Well done … you really know what you are talking about and teach from years and years of outdoor experience. 👍🏼
Great information Dave as usual.
Thank you sir.
Hey thx for the videos Dave! Really appreciate your time to make them. Can you do a video on tarp repair and diy upgrades? Thank you much keep up the good work and God bless 🙏🏾
You should consider having a bright orange cotton shirt available for purchase from your site. Like you explained in this video, it could be another essential piece of cotton besides the shemagh.
Thank you!
Another great video. Thank you, Dave for reminding us to 'make full use of our assets'. Feel free to use my quote as a way to give back to you, and all you've taught me over the years. "Make Full Use of Your Assets!". Meaning; 'Nearly everything is multi-functional' You just have to find out, how'. Feel free to use this to inform others. I need, no recognition.
Thanks Dave.
Happy holidays
I burnt myself at camp in U.P. of MI. Hours from any medical services. And didn't make sure my ifak had burn supplies. The hinges broke on my horizontal barrel grille. So was lifting the lid off of it knocked boiling water on my leg. You can do 10000 things safely the one you don't can be that injury. I should have epipen. I have honey bee's and bumble bees allergic to both. A sting in neck or tongue could be life threatening. We use mason jars with lids because lots of bees. I run a chainsaw. Why would I not have safety gear. Chaps and lv 3 ballistic jacket. You can also shim your insoles with padding. Doing a lot of walking can wear insoles. My work shoes I had to put some card board under my heels. This is one of your best videos. Gonna rewatch it for sure. I do marine services as side work spring and fall. It don't take much to get cold in water. I gotta take cpr first aid every so many years for captains license.
Thanks for the great explanations and the importance of getting training in First Aid and in being prepared if you suffer a particular ailment
It all make sense to me. Thanks Dave for all you and your family do for all us.
I'm not a huge hunter, trapper, bushcrafter type (I can hold my own in the woods or foothills though), but I do tend to like hiking and recreating in the local foothills and boondocking in the local national forests in the mountains. Los Angeles is home to the biggest urban national park in the world (the Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area). I always tell folks who ask me questions about how they can do outdoor recreation things better that the two things I always say are worth knowing for everyone are a basic Land Navigation course to learn how to properly use a compass and topo maps, and an expanded Backcountry First Aid course. You're the Pathfinder School, and if someone can get to the Pathfinder School or another similar fabulous school like the Pathfinder School to take those courses? Great, fantastic, DO THAT! But a lot of folks enjoy going outside but live further away in cities or suburbs. I'm sure we have schools like what you have, but they are going to be several hours drive away to get there. An option I would not sleep on is to also look into what your local REI offers for those two courses. I know for a fact that regionally, we have both options. Do I think the REI course will have a slightly different format than you would get at a school like Pathfinder? Yes, but I also think the basic information is going to be the same and help keep you safer outdoors. Not sure how many people who follow this channel cross pollinate with folks who get outdoor gear at REI, but it's a good resource and closer to home in certain parts of the country.
Thanks Dave, very good video
I have watched all of your videos, some several times, and I could have sworn you had a video on the 5 B's. Thanks Dave.
Very good. Solid stuff.
Good info, thank you sir! The info you provide covering multi purpose items is very helpful…as long as the individual is trained to do so. Anyone can plan on carrying every possibly specialized piece of equipment but that can turn into a combined liability due to the extra weight and 200 things you have to dig through when time is paramount. Learn/pre plan/train, and repeat seem to be the rules of anyone that has the potential to reach the next or higher lvl of self reliance…granted that can take a degree of determination/perseverance/time to achieve but the basics at least will ensure you and yours have a better chance of thriving preferably or just surviving if things have gotten that bad. Thanks again for the advice!
Dave, You did a course for Udemy some time ago, the 5B's were explained there very detailed. I liked that course.
Just a regular civilian living in Ukraine. I carry TQ on my belt, resqme on keychain every day, SWAT-T, Quickclot, gloves and marker in edc waist bag and a full size ifak on backpack when i carry one. So med kit is situation dependent pretty much.
My strong belief is everybody in Ukraine should carry at least a reliable tq and be trained how to use one
Thanks for doing this and elaborating on the details. It was appreciated.
It isn't necessarily on the same level as an Epi Pen, but if you carry some Benadryl with you, it can help with unforseen allergic reactions that are not life threatening. Mosquitoes think I'm tasty. I've never had a life-threatening reaction to mosquito bites, but I have occasionally found myself in a situation where I had no anticipated encounter of mosquitos but something happened and I got bit up. I've had instances where I've had a non life-threatening reaction to a spider bite. I've had non life threatening contact allergies with plants. None of these things are going to kill me, but it's going to be a lot harder to get out to go deal with the larger issue if my skin is on fire and clothing touching it makes me want to scream. Having a little Benadryl around can help calm things down enough to get back out of the woods. No medical advice, but Benadryl is also one of the things they give you at the ER when you have severe anaphylaxis. If you have an Epi Pen because you know you need one, it's worth talking to your doctor to try and figure out what is safe to buy you time in addition to using the Epi Pens with respect to Benadryl in a backcountry emergency situation. It's like aspirin for a heart attack, it might not solve the problem but it can be a possible additional resource to help buy time and not make things worse when administered appropriately.
Excellent video from bear bear!😎
Good one 👍, therma care wraps for hypothermia if you can't have a fire for whatever reason
Lead the way, Dave!
I thought you can perhaps add another B... Bacteria (covers personal hygiene practices, sanitary meal prep, and other preventative care that avoids or lowers risks of infection). Just a thought. Really appreciate your content and gift of teaching.
Keep them coming
It's worth noting that black tea (like the bags you buy from the store to make sweet tea) cab be use to stop bleeding. When I had to have a tooth pulled the dentist recommended to use them if I ran out of gauze, which I did, and it worked flawlessly! I did get a decent caffeine buzz that way though....
Anything high in Tannin will stanch capillary bleeding. Many trees and plants work for that but this is basic level stuff. Learning beyond that point creates true woodsman. We offer courses in Medicinal and Edible plants as well
Fantastic video! When you mentioned those B's in the last video I was like I haven't heard about those before Thanks for the content
Awesome video Dave. I’ll just leave my comment quick but to me personally I believe your survival kit should be just that. A first aid kit a good dedicated one I would say should be a completely separate kit on it’s own and like an EDC should know everything in it and how to use it if needed. Just my two cents.
Outstanding info Dave..I always carry a pen when I go out, was instructed by my Doc when and how to take it and what to expect after injecting. Take Care out there and stay safe.
Excellent video!! Very well explained! You did a bang up job there. As to food, you can do it with the things in the 10 C's as well...cordage, cutting tool ( knife,saw), and combustion (a way to make a fire for cooking. If you need self defense because you're being chased by the bad guys, well, again the 10 C's can come into play if you haven't brought a fire arm and ammo...all depends on ones situation. I think the complainers haven't fully thought out there complaints where 10 C's are concerned. Perhaps they don't fully understand the usefulness of them and there applications in various circumstances. I perhaps they should educate themselves a bit more before complaining about something tried and true. Yes?
Thx Dave
Great video
Hello, new subscriber here! I had no idea you had a RUclips channel! I have a few of your books and love them!
You know it occurred to me that Dave relating his knowledge ,and experiences could be considered Canterbury Tales .
You’re probably thinking about a clip in one of your basic class videos which you featured a presentation of the 5 Bs. It wasn’t a dedicated video on the subject.
ounce of prevention is better then pound of cure
If I had away to get there. I would definitely take some of your classes. I do appreciate the videos you put out. Awesome video my friend
I wonder if Stoker still wants to criticize your your 10 C's first-aid demonstrative applications that you've done such a great job explaining .
Now he’s going to tear apart the 5 B’s and the 5 H’s
just on water sources. im an old Aussie now grew up on a farm. used to go swimming in the muddy water of our damn the cows drank from. used to drink water from creeks after long bike rides with my mates. even drank from a puddle a few times after the rain so long as it wasnt stirred up and was clear. are any of these great things to do for a long time maybe not depends on where you are and the source of the creek.
main point though people dont let their kids get dirty now days. never had food poisoning myself or any parasites i know of. did get worms once from primary school thats just something you get i think at one point in life. but i am pretty sure being exposed to a few germs as a kid when i was healthy and fit has also carried over into older age. you immune system needs to be challenged every now and then to get the immunities your body then holds onto.
dont spray down your house with chemicals, let your kids play in the mud every now and then, humans while fragile compared to some animals still quite tuff. without exposure your kids wont get the antibodies to some of the most basic of germs.
that said vaccines are a thing to be trusted, got shot full of all of them going to singapore to live while my dad was in Nam and never had a problem from any. its also why things our grandparents generation died of are a thing of the past.
Any hemorrage not amenable to a conventional windlass TQ because of small size will be managed by direct pressure, because of low arterial pressure. Improvised tourniquets are not fast enough, not intuitive enough for low-frequency high-acuity emergency situations like major hemorrage, and have abysmal success rates in application, as well as hard-to-find materials (materials that are 1"+ thick, easily tieable, and thin, long, strong enough for a windlass sticks are quite rare) unless you carry them in, in which case you should've carried a TQ instead.
As for the 10C's and medical, of course having the 10C's helps in medical situations, but the 10C's are meant to cover survival needs, not medical needs. People saying an IFAK is missing from the 10C's is missing the point of the 10C's, IMO.
6th 'B' and a kind of important one: Breathing.
And to help tie it into the 10 C's: Cloth to help as a smoke and particle mask.
Also possibly a damp Cloth to help cool off an overexerted individual to help them calm down, relax and breath better.
Nice tiger stripe jacket!
As always clear and concise, and you don't try to sale me anything. Unless it's a clearly indicated gear review.
Man u put some thought behind that...hell of an instructor/mentor/teacher. 🫡
DONT FORGET THE 11th C..... Common Sense! Cant leave that at home!!!
형 최고
You must be in Georgia cause it was just as cold this morning. Lol! Thanks for this video. I started looking for something like this in case i end up the lone wolf.
Dave, where do we put poisoning in this? Plants, mushrooms, etc charcoal use
Thanks again Dave!
This is next level as it is not “common” at the basic level we shouldn’t be eating off the landscape. We speak to these issues at the intermediate level as well as out Edible and medicinal plants courses
Benodryl would help with an allergic reaction, and would take up almost no space in your kit.
No disagreement if you realize you are prone already why not just carry Epi
What studies did you read? Always looking to dive deeper into topics.
Bites , cuts , stings , shots , breaks are the five i worry about the most .
BENADRYL CAN HELP AGAINST AN ALLERGIC REACTION IF GIVEN IMMEDIATELY.
ABC of first aid. Airway Breathing Circulation
You confusing first aid with self aid in that perspective
It's surprising that we as a society have made it this far, I mean it's a wonder that the longhunters and others, wasn't petrified to step out of their cabins without their IFAK's!!! Not knocking them, just saying.
First, with you Dave...
Did Tactical Keychains ever get you some knives?
Combustion... cauterize...not mentioned by the person who's done it on camera 😂
I wouldn't really love to see a video of you talking about what and where our country is headed ??? And about our right to bear arms and why they keep trying to take them away from us 🤢🤢🤢. I'd just like to know where you stand on this matter...???... 🙏🙏🙏
dave, what do you think of AI? and why?
The guys bashing the 10 cs are trying to get followers...so they can start teaching...THEY DRINK WAY TO MANY COMIE TEARS...maybe need to lay off the souce....
Great video Dave. I had a little trepidation when I saw the title but I thought you did a great job relating those 5 B's to the 10 c kit without giving medical advice and consistently referring viewers back to the importance of getting first aid training.
Thanks Dave!
