I know this is an old video but I love your videos and all of you guys in self reliance Pathfinders, Shawn Kelly and so many more now.we are starting a small beginning bush craft class thanks to all you guys. Could name a bunch of guys,gray bearded Green Beret just awesome group thank you as well I'm a huge fan!
i am glad i started carrying a haversack with my pack, it is so nice to be able to set your pack down and take your light haversack with you on a scout or something makes it alot easier. thanks for showing me dave.
Always a pleasure to listen to your concise explanation of your experience in the wood. Very valuable knowledge that is always put to usage in my own treks into the woods with my kids. Thank you Dave.
It may look a bit dorky today, but jn the old days, a Neckerchief Was worn daily, whether in the woods or city. It served the purpose of your net scarf, plus as many others as your lmagination can come up with. Bandage, hat, signal flag, sling or what all. It's a shame that style has removed it from the Scout uniform, and from Woodsmen in general. Out of the way, but available.
Quality kit Dave well used and proven. Cant tell you how much these vids mean to me and how much excellent info I've gathered from you. I thank you sir and please keep up the great work.
Dave thankyou very much for that! I only requested the video a few days ago and i was very happy to see it. I'm buying the 5C's haversack from your store from the UK i like it so much, thankyou. Cheers, Jack
Good kit as long as the individual is has knowlege,skills and resources to survive,or rough it a night or two in the woods.I watch your videos,and now recognize the need to hone my skills,as well as learning new skills,etc.I have included these 5 C needs in my day pack(and the other 5 C's).I purchased a decent 85% wool blanket(6 lbs),necessary tools(5 tool rule)ferro rod and other combustion devices,a 5x7 space blanket with grommets,container,and cordage(s).Not one hardware store,including chain stores like Lowes,carries Bank Line nor have they even heard of it.Great video,Dave.Keep em coming.
" I thought it was something you carry for black powder arms" A haversack is a carryall for your personal gear. A shooting bag is for carrying items to make your muzzleloader go boom. Haversacks were used before knapsacks or backpacks were commonly used, and for sometime into the era of backpacks. It's really not a good idea to mix contents of the two because if you're reaching into your shooting bag to reload your one-shooter for that bear that's sizing you up, you don't want to grab a piece of camp gear instead of the components for reloading your firearm.
Great video! I've seen so many guys who go so gear heavy in their haversack! Add a small flashlight and a few bandages (I have 5 small children and they like the characters) and you have exactly what I carry. Awesome video.
I just wanted to say thank you for all of your videos, I've had so much fun going out in the woods and just using all the things I've learned from your videos.
hey dave..i found 100% cotton safety orange cloth at the fabric store..i use that as my rag/char/bandage...and as a emergency signaling device great video dave really like the swiss canteen
That's a fantastic kit Dave. I like that oil skin haversac and the rolled up oil skin rain jacket...those are items I could really use where I am! Thanks for sharing!
Listen to this guy! No matter how prepared your pack is, have a knife and fire maker attached to your body as well. You might get swept in the water, critters may get into, or off with your pack without waking you.. you never know. also, dental floss makes very very compact cordage if you take it out of the dispenser, and can be used for fish line or sewing, as well as lashing.
peeps use to pick on me for carrying haversack last year hunting . then 30-40mph winds with gust to 50+ hits and i covered with rain poncho to break wind and stayed almost warm ....
Dave saw in your oil cloth watch coat videos you were wearing an extra large. For fitting comparison was curious how tall you are? Thank you for your videos.
Can you make a video about dental hygiene on herbs that can keep your teeth healthy well in a survival scenario for sure is how to make a primitive version of a toothbrush if you lose yours
That haversack looks similar in design to my Federal haversack I use in War Between The States reenacting. That reminds me, I need to check my kit for the 150th Resaca next weekend. :) I like that it has a pocket inside the flap. Does it have a liner on the inside as well?
Love the vids, but I wish you would do some educational vidoes down in Florida. I'd love to camp in the Appalachians, but probably won't be able to, how about teaching how to do it in different areas?
Hay Dave, I'm a big fan. I have a question, how would you pack for a 2 to 3 day hike in a more arid environment (desert). Suggestions on containers, water, and overall pack weight? Thanks, Estle.
Just got a Jeff White English Trade Knife! This thing is beautiful and functional. Shaved the hairs right off my arm. The wooden scales and the sheath did not come treated though, so make sure you oil/wax everything up!
Where is your 12 ga. ? You got me hooked on the single shot with the adapters. I got the 10 c's plus a lot more. I believe in overkill, It's better to have to much than not enough. The way I see it if I do not need it I can trade it for something I need. The only thing I do not have is a high dollar knife but I do carry a few knives in my kit.
Hay Dave, I'm a big fan of your videos I've leaned a lot . I have a question, how would you pack for a 2 to 3 day trip in a more arid environment (desert) - container, pack weight? Thank you, Estle.
Dave normally I don't ask where someone got something or what name brand/mfg a piece of gear is but I really like that hat. It looks tough enough to last and yet is straw for summer use. I would love to know where to look and see if they have one that will fit me.
Wouldn't a day pack of similar size be more comfortable with the weight spread over 2 shoulders rather all the weight on one shoulder. Can't beat a Bic.
I was curious but didn't want to ask about the haversack. I thought it was something you carry for black powder arms. the use would be for shot and patches or ammo. I also thought since you have your pack with the 5 c's and some redundant things on your person ,one would, While hiking you come across some elements for birds nest; tinder or things for the soup pot that you would squirrel them away in the haversack as you march on ( pretty bad I had to look up how you spell squirrel) Dave do you have a dedicated squirrel pouch or another haversack? pocket. You are pretty organized so I thought i'd just ask this time.
The Pathfinder system teaches what we call Possum Mentality, it's basically gather what you need when you see it, that includes tinder and so on, that eliminates you depleting your kit items needlessly.
Cool stuff... throw Dave a peanut shell, a piece of dental floss and a fastfood napkin and he can live nice for a month anywhere on earth. Dave you are an exquisite human being brother!
really love your mentaliti and skills.... hated when you left dual survival.. maybe cody is good, in nature.. but i liked your way, much better. just an shout out to you;-) but would love to learn, all your skills
I believe he sells the seperate elements of it in the store, but you'll need to get your own bag and assemble the kit yourself. And that was the standard sized haversack, but made of water repelling oilcloth instead of the standard material. It's a few bucks more, but well worth it for weather protection.
great video, you mentioned hygiene. a video on hygiene and sanitation would be very helpful, i looked at archives but it just seam to touch on the subject.
***** Gotta watch yourself Dave we are paying attention, lol I'm glad you take the banter as it is intended brother no malice intended. by the way are you still wearing boots or did Cody totally corrupt you? I'm just jealous because well just look at my pick I can only grow a mullet.
Dave.... you probably wont read this, but im gonna type it out anyways. Love your vids, been following for a while, one youtube name or another... but look brother... you need to make a series, like the colony was. Do you remember that show ? a bunch of people with nothing, put into an environment where there was nothing, and they had to survive. your vids are great, and teaching people, to set them selves up for success to survive is great. but, in a " wtf shtf " situation, a person may not have what they need to stay alive. so, thats what you need to make a series of vids on... lets say, youre allowed 2 things. something that a person could just grab and go, or something that a person would have on them. for me, i always have my knife, and my paracord bracelet on me at all times. the only time i dont is when im showering. at night the bracelet and knife is next to my bed. my bracelet has 9 feet of paracord, and a ferro rod / striker. so take 2 things, and go somewhere remote. somewhere that you dont know like the back of your hand.. no people around, no nothing, just in the middle of the woods, the clothes on your back, and 2 things, and of course your camera... and for 1 week, make how to survive vids. im not dissing your vids or knowledge here brother, but everyone has the normal generic survival vids... survival is a word that is passed around so much these days. most " survival " vids arent survival... their camping vids... i really hope you consider this idea. this is what people need. camping vids, to stay true to nature, with flint locks and all that is great. but what does a person do, when they are put into a surrounding with nothing... thats survival. thats what people need to know.
Two things... A full tang, non-coated carbon steel knife and a stainless steel water bottle. The knife will process game animals, build shelters, process wood for fire lays, build a fire hand drill set or struck with a piece of flint or quartz to produce a spark for a fire. The water bottle can be used for collecting, boiling, storing and making char material for the next fire.

The haversack holds up tremendously well!

Could name a bunch of guys,gray bearded Green Beret just awesome group thank you as well I'm a huge fan!
Pretty good small kit. And as long as you've got a beard you've always got that additional sure fire starting method. :)
i am glad i started carrying a haversack with my pack, it is so nice to be able to set your pack down and take your light haversack with you on a scout or something makes it alot easier. thanks for showing me dave.
Best time of year to be out in the woods. You can smell the goodness of creation.
Always a pleasure to listen to your concise explanation of your experience in the wood. Very valuable knowledge that is always put to usage in my own treks into the woods with my kids. Thank you Dave.
"unless somebody steals my belt and my pants"........ Lol...
Love this channel, it's always insightful, educational and entertaining.
If someone steals your pants you have bigger problems then not having fire and a knife lol.
It may look a bit dorky today, but jn the old days, a Neckerchief Was worn daily, whether in the woods or city. It served the purpose of your net scarf, plus as many others as your lmagination can come up with. Bandage, hat, signal flag, sling or what all.

Thanks again Dave

ikr i saw this in my sub box and i was like whaaaaaat haha
Another Dave Canturbury classic! Great job.
Good kit as long as the individual is has knowlege,skills and resources to survive,or rough it a night or two in the woods.I watch your videos,and now recognize the need to hone my skills,as well as learning new skills,etc.I have included these 5 C needs in my day pack(and the other 5 C's).I purchased a decent 85% wool blanket(6 lbs),necessary tools(5 tool rule)ferro rod and other combustion devices,a 5x7 space blanket with grommets,container,and cordage(s).Not one hardware store,including chain stores like Lowes,carries Bank Line nor have they even heard of it.Great video,Dave.Keep em coming.
Its not for hardware its for fishing try your local bait shop or even Walmart will have it
Well the beards grown back I don't see the need for the fire kit ;o)
Another good vid DC thanks for sharing.
Just had the same video request a couple times the past few days haha.
Nice run down man
" I thought it was something you carry for black powder arms"
A haversack is a carryall for your personal gear.
A shooting bag is for carrying items to make your
muzzleloader go boom.
Haversacks were used before knapsacks or backpacks
were commonly used, and for sometime into the era of backpacks.
It's really not a good idea to mix contents of the two because
if you're reaching into your shooting bag to reload your one-shooter
for that bear that's sizing you up, you don't want to grab a piece
of camp gear instead of the components for reloading your firearm.
Great video! I've seen so many guys who go so gear heavy in their haversack! Add a small flashlight and a few bandages (I have 5 small children and they like the characters) and you have exactly what I carry. Awesome video.
Thank's Dave, I am going to order one as soon as I get paid, that thing look like a great Haversack.
I just wanted to say thank you for all of your videos, I've had so much fun going out in the woods and just using all the things I've learned from your videos.
ah the good old bic lighter, the backup for when all else fails.
I remember You from Dual Survival. You are awesome.
Sounds like you said " Swedish officer canteen " but it is really a Swiss army canteen :) Great vid!
swedish fish.
Excellent video, brother! I really appreciate that you share such hard-earned knowledge with the rest of us. God bless!
very nice ! God bless mrs Iris and You !!
If you need more than that, you probably need more dirt time.
Good one Dave. I can't agree more.
Then I defo need more dirt time as I need my hip flask a note book & pen!
Good gear and tips just keep coming. It's always a pleasure Dave.
I definitely need more dirt time. I can't go anywhere without some hot chocolate with me. >_o
Thanks for the video Dave
Very smart kit.
Nice looking kit dave
I just got mine today... I purchased the XL one... love it
Unless someone steals my belt and my pants... I got a good laugh out of that one!
Maybe Iris is with him. LOL!
Your the best Dave...thanks!!
I like the kit Dave.
Keep up the good work Dave
Great video dave. God bless
thanks Dave
You grew your beard back since that comedic video Dave. NICE.
I swear that this channel has the most commercials of any channel I sub to. Is that an option that can be set by the user/channel?
hey dave..i found 100% cotton safety orange cloth at the fabric store..i use that as my rag/char/bandage...and as a emergency signaling device great video dave really like the swiss canteen
Your name is pretty...creepy...change it.
Excellent video
I bet that would be an interesting story. Have you ever have gotten stuck out in the woods overnight before? Thanks!
I realize now that my haversack carries way too much. Thanks Dave for simplifying my life. LOL
That's a fantastic kit Dave. I like that oil skin haversac and the rolled up oil skin rain jacket...those are items I could really use where I am! Thanks for sharing!
Yeah, I love the oilskin rain jacket myself, but they really need to expand the sizes they offer. lol
Listen to this guy! No matter how prepared your pack is, have a knife and fire maker attached to your body as well. You might get swept in the water, critters may get into, or off with your pack without waking you.. you never know. also, dental floss makes very very compact cordage if you take it out of the dispenser, and can be used for fish line or sewing, as well as lashing.
Thank you for your video. When are you getting more haversack kits for sale?
Outstanding
What other videos have you talked about your net device? Where do you get a net like that?
Good info. Thanks.
Too true Dave, things are stolen before they are lost.
peeps use to pick on me for carrying haversack last year hunting . then 30-40mph winds with gust to 50+ hits and i covered with rain poncho to break wind and stayed almost warm ....
excellent vid.
Dave saw in your oil cloth watch coat videos you were wearing an extra large. For fitting comparison was curious how tall you are? Thank you for your videos.
Sweet, a new video :)
Don't forget the haversack itself is another C ...cargo. Nice vid Dave, thank you for uploading. What type of tin is that char tin?
So? What do you carry in the haversack when you have your back pack?
Can you make a video about dental hygiene on herbs that can keep your teeth healthy well in a survival scenario for sure is how to make a primitive version of a toothbrush if you lose yours
thx some good stuff as always
That haversack looks similar in design to my Federal haversack I use in War Between The States reenacting. That reminds me, I need to check my kit for the 150th Resaca next weekend. :) I like that it has a pocket inside the flap. Does it have a liner on the inside as well?
when and how many 55 gal bags do you carry? You have repeatedly said to carry them.
"you probably need more dirt time." Dave there's no such thing as too much dirt time.
Love the vids, but I wish you would do some educational vidoes down in Florida. I'd love to camp in the Appalachians, but probably won't be able to, how about teaching how to do it in different areas?
where do you live it is so beautiful
Hay Dave, I'm a big fan. I have a question, how would you pack for a 2 to 3 day hike in a more arid environment (desert). Suggestions on containers, water, and overall pack weight? Thanks, Estle.
Just got a Jeff White English Trade Knife! This thing is beautiful and functional. Shaved the hairs right off my arm. The wooden scales and the sheath did not come treated though, so make sure you oil/wax everything up!

Hay Dave, I'm a big fan of your videos I've leaned a lot . I have a question, how would you pack for a 2 to 3 day trip in a more arid environment (desert) - container, pack weight? Thank you, Estle.
How much does this weigh as shown? 5-6 lbs??? Thank you, nice video!
Just a little off topic will you be doing a fishing series again this summer
been waiting to do my haversack video when i got a new camera.LOL. mine will be incoming soon....HAHA!
Don't talk about it...be about it!
Dave normally I don't ask where someone got something or what name brand/mfg a piece of gear is but I really like that hat. It looks tough enough to last and yet is straw for summer use. I would love to know where to look and see if they have one that will fit me.

Awesome!
where can i find canteen like it ?

Dave are you going to make more blacksmithing videos any time soon
Is this the Pathfinder Haversack or the XL - Pathfinder Haversack?? also do you have the fire kit bag you carry in your store??
I believe he sells the seperate elements of it in the store, but you'll need to get your own bag and assemble the kit yourself. And that was the standard sized haversack, but made of water repelling oilcloth instead of the standard material. It's a few bucks more, but well worth it for weather protection.
Actually, I believe they are now offering a 'kit' kit ;^).
5Cs that come in the haversack. I'll check for the link...
great video, you mentioned hygiene. a video on hygiene and sanitation would be very helpful, i looked at archives but it just seam to touch on the subject.
Dave talked about that in either the Yurt series or the Tipi series, I can't recall which one off the top of my head.
Last time you showed that canteen/cup set, you said it was Swiss... Which one is it?
It looks like the Swiss sets that I've seen. The Swedish army does not have anything like it unfortunately.
*****
Gotta watch yourself Dave we are paying attention, lol I'm glad you take the banter as it is intended brother no malice intended. by the way are you still wearing boots or did Cody totally corrupt you? I'm just jealous because well just look at my pick I can only grow a mullet.
hey Dave, can you do a review on the 4 in 1 zippo axe tool.
I wear a back up belt because I really don't want anyone stealing my pants.
"unless someone steals my boots and pants" haha
Do you guys sell those officer canteens at your store?
Do You Have Any Videos On How To Recreate All 10C's If You Have Nothing?
Just to be clear, this gentleman´s first name by birth is "David", am i correct?
is this the haversack xl 16"×18" version or the smaller one that's $39.95 I believe?
The power of the beard is back! Lol jk Dave. You the man!
No first aid kit?
he has a piece of cotton cloth, what more could you want!!!
I thought this was a toilet paper substitute!
Would u recommend a neck carry w a mora, I heard mors kohanski used neck carry
Don't have a haversack,just a generic Molle pack.Love the one's by Duluth,but $$$.
What video did you cover the net in?
What channel does this show come on?
You could have packed a folding saw as well.
Wat do u call that hat? Love to get one like it
What is your Food source?
What is that shirt Dave?
Dave.... you probably wont read this, but im gonna type it out anyways. Love your vids, been following for a while, one youtube name or another... but look brother... you need to make a series, like the colony was.

so take 2 things, and go somewhere remote. somewhere that you dont know like the back of your hand.. no people around, no nothing, just in the middle of the woods, the clothes on your back, and 2 things, and of course your camera... and for 1 week, make how to survive vids.
im not dissing your vids or knowledge here brother, but everyone has the normal generic survival vids... survival is a word that is passed around so much these days. most " survival " vids arent survival... their camping vids...

kudos on the ss water bottle. thats a damn good idea.
Vic Arous
In other words - make videos like Les Stroud....
no, not at all... unless you have seen the colony,... you wont know what im talking about.
