At the Pathifnder School we are commited to an ever evolving system that will give you the best chance of owning valuable outdoor skills in the shortest amount of time. Dave Canterbury has been developing this system since 2008 and it is used in some way Worldwide even at non Pathfinder associated schools
I’m the guy he called. I was in a production meeting at work and our customer service person said sorry to interrupt but Dave Canterbury is on the phone for you. I quickly said finish without me and ran to the phone. He is 100 percent correct. This was a very minor issue. In fact, I told him the cost was insignificant compared to what I have learned from him over the years. The little bit of money was not the issue. It was he has worked hard to build a brand and he needed to have some feedback. He replied immediately. He took care of the issue immediately. He even called me! Anyone that is critical or judgmental has never met him. Never even spoken to him. He is the real deal. His word is his bond.
Hope this explains some of my develoment mentality, thank you for your support! Please Like and Subscribe
I believe you are 100% correct with what you bring to the table. You constantly put out videos giving free information free instruction. You are very transparent and have a heart of gold. You have a blessed day don’t ever stop.
The big elephant in the room is that ALL these other schools started in DAVEs school…..😂
Keep up the education
A great leader / teacher is constantly training others to set out on their own with the skills they have learned to teach others. That way we can all progress even further in our pursuits.
Wow, I didnt realize you were inspired by Ron Hood too! I bought all of Rons videos and he was so unique, entertaining and educational if everything he produced. As a toolmaker I reached out to him to ask some questions about knives and he helped me get my start, was very generous with his time and gracious with his expertise. Ron was one of a kind and I still miss him.
My stepfather started me down the path of woodcraft/survival/self-reliance/homesteading almost 60 years ago and many of the concepts, ideas and techniques that he taught me I have since seen or witnessed in your videos. So, I know you didn't invent it all or even much of it. Although, I have seen you present some ideas and techniques that I had never seen before in my 65 years. I have never attended a survival school or bushcraft class and at my age I most likely never will. What I do know and can attest to from watching and learning from your videos and what I can know about you from them as a person, is that you are a great contributor to the survival/ bushcraft/ self-reliance community and have certainly put together a great system and training methods. Thank you and the family and the good folks at SRO and the Pathfinder School for your continued contribution.
Dave is actually one of my first references of survival, started around 2010, traveled with very limited gear for some time. Sometimes without shelter due to bad circumstances, including homelessness. Now I make outdoor videos and still watch Dave's content. He mixed his own curriculum of self-reliance, which goes beyond survival. He's got OG status for life !
I can personally attest to Dave's dedication to customer service while at an Intermediate class my haversack began to rip at the seam. I showed him, and he said he would take care of it. It was at my house when I got home. Thanks Dave
Sou do Brasil e adoraria assistir uma aula sua, mas provavelmente nunca viajarei para os Estados Unidos. Assim assisto seus videos.Dave obrigado por dividir todo seu conhecimento.
Dont apologize for shit....you have a great class...it's called passion and that's what we're losing in this day and age....BravoZulu DC
You are an innovator, but what I like about you the most is you make everything affordable for common people like myself in a world where people are trying to make a buck by ripping us off! Life is about learning and growing and not trying to pump up your ego like many others do. Thank you for teaching and being honest and humble!😊
Zero complaints and nothing but gratitude for every thing you bring to your vidoes and the lessons therein.
It is 3:15 in the morning and I just finished watching this video. I came to you via two people...Les Stroud and Ron Hood. I first found Mr. Hood through a DVD I purchased at Bass Pro that spoke of survival techniques. I have been interested in this field since the early 90s. Ron Hood was, to me, the first person I had ever seen who took survival and bushcraft seriously. I learned many of the basics from him, and I have noticed much of what he taught in your teachings. I first saw you in Dual Survival. I respected your points of view, teachings, and commitment to reality, even on a TV show, immediately. The episode where you showed that is was possible to cauterize a wound using gun powder sealed it for me. Then I found out that you were so very close to me, in Ohio (I am in Michigan), whereas in the beginning, there were only schools in places like Utah, Colorado, and California. I have now been watching everything that you put out, and catching up on your past videos because I trust you. I commented on one of your past instructor's videos, Shawn Kelly, that I cannot believe how much high quality information that you give for free. This is life altering knowledge, and you just make it so accessible. These are just some of the reasons that my loyalty will always be with the Pathfinder School, and you, Mr. Canterbury. I thank you so very much for all that you do, and all that you are.
I know I have learned from your videos over the years. Thank you.
I don't think its a rant. I think its you being passionate about what you believe in. You learned the hard way and you built a living on it. And through all of it, one of the many things that shows is your passion for collective learning and sharing information, yes you have a business but I truly believe that you care more about all people learning these skills than anything else. I look forward to the day I can meet you in person and attend one of your classes.
I can't wait to take this instructor course. I got very lucky. My basic course is April 5-8. However the intermediate was full! So my I termediate is in September then advanced in October. This'll give me time to physically prep for the higher physical demands I'm hearing about. I've heard people make those comments about how Dave didn't take one class and all that other stuff. My retort has always been exactly what he said in this video. I'm paying for his time in the field. His blood sweat and tears. This dude has done great work along with his instructors. Can't wait to open my own school back here in Northern Michigan!! God bless you all. See ya in April!
I watch several you tubers that create content I enjoy . I don’t play into drama .. Dave Canterbury ,, keep doing what you do and I’ll most certainly keep following along .. good little chat from the wall tent !
Dave you have succeeded in what your passion about. Remember a lot of people make comments out of jealousy. Keep up the great work that you do.
I am a stonemason so I enjoyed your stone example.
I have been watching you for a long time. I like the way you do things
I really enjoyed my time at the pathfinder school. Came back in November for basic and had an amazing time.
Good discussion. The reason i keep coming back is for the reasons you explained. You are always moving forward, learning & developing new content to share. Taking on these new skills have been instrumental in my mental health so, Thank you for all that you do.
Dave, I've been watching from almost the beginning. I must say sir that this was one of your best videos. Allowing your customers to really understand who you are as an individual is extremely uncommon these days. Your humble demeanor and passion to pass on your knowledge is amazing. We are certainly blessed to have such a great teacher. A present day Daniel Boone. Best wishes my friend. Keep up the great work.
There is no doubt DC has aided and abetted all things bushcraft & survival, immensely, in the last 10 or 15 yrs for sure (if not longer). There are likely thousands of people who are now involved and outdoors because of this fella and his yt channel.. it is however obvious, that gazillions of people since the beginning of time, have tried and done everything under the sun, to keep warm and dry whilst out and about in the woods! Thank you DC for all you have done and all of the improved and better made (and fairly priced) outdoor gear.
Wow, no wonder you’re good at what you do. I watched your whole video that was very deep and informative. You have a very serious gift. Good Lord, has blessed you. From one veteran to another, I will always support those who serve. For what it’s worth…!, Nicely done, Dave.
Thank you, Dave, for all your hard work and everything you’ve added to this body of knowledge!
Yes, the old saying is there’s nothing new under the sun!! People are going to hate on people no matter what, especially on people who have been successful!!! I wish you still had the courses that you sent the modules and people could do the courses at home!! I should’ve ordered them years ago!! Maybe one day I can make it up there!! Good to hear the radio in the tent!! 73, AI4BI
Why is the Pathfinder School the best school? Because theres more FREE info on this channel, than on any FIVE other schools channels. And going to a class, you're gonna get SO much more info. Youll get your moneys worth at a class, but juat watching TH-cam will put you ahead of any other company. And thats top notch.
Wow, nice! You're going through the wisdom of Solomon right now in this video. Ecclesiastes 1:9
[9]The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun. God bless you Dave!
Been following you for at least a decade and fortunate enough to go thru several classes. Your passion and dedication bleeds thru into your teaching. Thanks brother.
Ron Hood was really on fire back in the day. Cancer took another good one. I believe i still have some of his VHS tapes😮.
I love the pathfinder school and the brotherhood it has created. Excellence thrives here.
You just keep being you Dave, I do put the Pathfinder teachings very high in skills that are as close to bombproof as I have seen in my 70 years on this planet. Looking forward to seeing you again at the gathering in Vinton county.
You have far, far more supporters than detractors. Pay them no mind.. They are not worth your time. I love how you have organized and structured your teaching material. I have learned and applied it with great success and have yet to attend any of your courses. That is on my list this fall. Keep up the great work.
Dave, Thanks for all you do! I own some of your gear and appreciate you always building a better mousetrap. It all starts with an idea. Where we improve on that idea is what makes learning great. But sharing it is what makes us awesome!
Thanks again for all the R&D, we are blessed
I would LOVE to go, but I am on an limited income. I have learned so much about you. I have your books memorized and all of the products I have bought from your outfitters have been premium quality and designed so well. You are the leader in the industry. Nice job, David.
Dave, thank you for your teachings. I spent a decade listening to you then finally went to your school and couldn't be more happier and confident. If anyone reading this is looking to learn survival don't waste time and money and go to the Pathfinder school. BTW I have some ideas that I like to share with you. Hopefully I can get a few minutes of your time for something I am building that would be a great compliment to your system. I really think you would appreciate it.
Thanks for everything you do, Dave! I learn from you and pass it on to my kids (at least I expose them to it). It may save their lives, or even their future childrens lives someday.
Your videos and your products speak for themselves. You are one of the folks that I do try to make certain to watch every video that you put out. I find them interesting. I own a bit of your Self Reliance gear and some of your PKS knives. Great products for a competitive price. Keep up the good work.
Dave ive learned more from you then anyone, that comes from your books , philosophy, historical teachings and obviously the 10cs , Taking a Class is on my bucket list, Anyone who can easily do so would be MUCH better off in life & Survival doing so, especially in our current world as a whole, Thank you Brother , Greatly Appreciate You ;:;,, Spook
Dave I love your programs don't sweat it they will all fade away. Business is business if they want to complain and spread rumors then let them they will fail.
I never been to his school but would love to attend. My experience goes back to living in different countries and states and living in the woods for four years in Europe and two years in the PA area. And then I moved into a van. I never knew about the ten C's until a friend of mine back in Europe showed me Dave's Canterbury's list of 10 C's and from there on, i followed that path. I always have the ten c's and when i go long distance or backpacking/camping, i have those ten C's as a basis for everything else. One day, i will attend his school.
Been watching you since you were on Dual Survival. Just signed up for basic in April. Can't wait to come learn from you brother.
It’s well known that your school is hands down the best school out there
I really enjoyed my classes in 2020 and apply information and skills all the time...teaching at events and on my own now...definitely recommend
Great video. Dave, you are a great teacher. The way you explain the process on everything you do is exceptional. I'm going to look into attending one of your classes. Thank you for all that you do. Rick, from Rochester, NY.
Discerning ones limitations, and then excelling between them should be ones goal.
Frankly, I would have a field day seeing someone with a massive ego and very little knowledge of a survival subject to debate Dave Canterbury lol He is so to the point, so concise, extremely knowledgeable of anything he pursues, and more then anything speaks with confidence. I have never been to any survival school except Tom Browns Tracker School, I’ve bought a lot of Dave’s products and put them into use through trial and error, but I love how he mentions that you don’t necessarily support his business in any specific way to learn how to survive. You can literally buy anything as long as it fits the criteria needed to work to sustain yourself in the environment your in. I do trust his business and the products he puts out. I hope to one day atleast do his basic course when I get the money.
Been some of the best Lessons Learned are from failures.
a fan of yours for years even on face book Mora groups hi im jake haha, your books have also been an absolute blast to read and practice the projects plus systems. Love your videos dave, big fan for many years not an rant its the truth we believe your word.
God bless 🙌 🙏 !!
I think that you’r videos are pretty good I like watching them and think you do a great job of explaining everything that you post thank you
Thanks for sharing Dave. People seem to want to hate just to feel better about themselves.
73 God bless
One of my unfulfilled dreams is to attend your classes. Someday I will do it, at this moment it is difficult to travel to the USA, with the situation as it is in my country that is on fire. In any case, I immensely appreciate all the knowledge you convey in your videos, they have been very useful to me since 2013 when I began to be interested in survival.
If I was younger and healthier, I would love to take ALL of your courses. I'd never even consider other schools after becoming familiar with you AND your instructors on YT. But, alas, I'm not able, so I live vicariously and so appreciate the fact that this info is available on YT.
I am a prime example of someone that thought he "invented" something that was apparently commonly know in certain circles and had been thought of, out of necessity, by someone else, just as I did. That would be the use of toggles to allow you to slide polytarps along a line to ideally position them and keep the strain of the rope tension off of the tarp's grommets.
My wife and I frequently camped in public campgrounds that didn't offer a lot of privacy, so I would tie camo tarps from tree to tree, (by the grommets) in an area to block out our neighbors. It sometimes took 4 or 5 tarps to do the job and I rarely got them positioned and overlapped correctly the first, second or third time. Eventually it occurred to me that I could use a single line and loop it through the tarp's grommets, with twigs stuck through the loop I created, to hold the tarp, yet allow me to easily slide it to a new location, if I needed to, by rolling the toggle. I showed this off to a number of my buddies and they thought it was genius. I even cut a bunch of 1/4" wooden dowels to keep with my camping supplies. Turns out to be a common practice in the bushcraft culture now, but for 20+ years I thought It was a technique that I invented.
So you spoke the truth with that observation.
Love your content Dave been watching all your videos and I’ve been watching you since I was a teenager on dual survival. It’s cool to see how far you have come keep doing your thing and I will keep watching.
Dave, your integrity shines in all you undertake in these videos. I'm glad to show my thanks by buying some of your products and books.
I had to smile when you mentioned reenacting. I have done a little of that as well, although the bias against WIR (women in the ranks for the uninitiated) runs strong in many places. I knew i was successful in "passing" when i walked into a women's bathroom in full regalia and had women scream. 😊
I have learned so much from your videos. Some info I'll likely never use, but other snippets i could and have incorporated into everyday life.
Not sure I'll get the chance to attend your school. Im old and slow, but still learning.
Thanks for continuing to add to your channel. It's on my short list of YT faves.
I've been with you since almost Day 1 on TH-cam. I remember those earliest videos, I remember when you applied for Dual Survivor. I have really enjoyed following your success from the beginning to now. I've attended like 4 of the first 5 Pathfinder Gatherings. Still one of my favs! Hope to get back there someday. I still pack for every trip I go on, using the 10 C's as my base to this day. God bless ya brother!
Ecclesiastes 1:9
The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.
Dave, been watching you since Dual Survival. You are the true People’s Champ of bushcraft and survival. I love all of the Pathfinder products that I have had the pleasure of using. Love all of your videos too. I am tired of seeing too many folks ride your coat tails and copy what you have created. Keep bringing it brother!
I learn procedures, methods, and ideas from you and your instructors via You Tube videos. I know that what you teach is solid information. The Pathfinder gear I have purchased through the years is invaluable, comprising my go bag and survival sets.
self reliance must be taught to children not so much as a tool for survival but to reduce stress and foster better health because a self reliant human will always have the knowledge to not just survive but thrive no matter where on earth the human chooses to live. Take a walk in nature and close your eyes and hear the sounds of nature and ground barefoot to enjoy the healing benefits of grounding to the earth. Once a human experiences self reliance and connection with the earth their lives will never be the same again. Have gratitude for all you have and love one another.,
I had an issue with 1 product. I sent an email with a pic with the words “this happened today”. The next day I got an email notification that an item had been shipped. In a couple days the new product arrived! No question hands down best service! Thanks Dave!
Dave, thanks for the talk. On the side, I was reminding several Survival Disp.... guys relative to a video on ... "Why not to license up with FCC and wait for shtf emergency comms to be used" was a bad idea overall. I introduced the concept that .. if we are asked to train with firearms, etc, why not with radio comms also?
Nets matter.
I am pretty sure that you have a General license (Tech for me so far), of which I advised them also.
Not a rant, but we have a good many "survival experts" that are not crafting their craft, but rather misguiding their audience. And I spoke up for that concern.
I appreciate that you have spoken truth in every discussion I have seen from you. God Bless. Thank you.
Hi Dave! I've been following you for a while now. I absolutely love your lively and enthusiastic approach.
You've been my inspiration since day one!
I live in Italy and maybe one day I'll be able to attend one of your courses.
THIS video...is why I will always defend you and be a consumer of your lessons and products. Every man must remember where he started and pay gratitude and appreciation towards the past everyone needed some form of stepping stone to get started. those who currently curse your name yet NEEDED your knowledge and NEED it still on their resume to get anywhere because its arguably the only weight they have behind their name...you have been the definition of innovation and re-design and are the biggest influence in the bushcraft/ survival/self reliance for reasons and all of them good and true in nature
You have given us so much knowledge. Knowledge I am currently handing down to my children. My grandchildren will know your name if I get to have any you can bet on that! It’s a shame this craft doesn’t have an official hall of fame, you would be in it no doubt in anyone’s minds, even the trolls 😂
One of the professors of his craft ,no doubt
Nothing but gratitude and respect for you and your school for all you do. Thank you, brother! 👍
Preaching facts..! Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge with the world.. I personally have learned a lot from your videos.. please keep up the awesome teaching. THANK YOU!
I like watching your videos because it reminds me of when I was young. I've been watching you since you were on Duel Survival. So keep up the good work and God bless
I just want to thank you for everything you do for the outdoor community. I learned so much from your channel and i am so thankful to you for sharing your knowledge. I can truly see your love and dedication for what you do. Keep it up Sir. We all appreciate and admire you
I agree with your message, Dave---you're spot on. Just hope you'll keep language where I'm comfortable letting my grandsons listen.
Apologies will keep in check
I have no idea how I’ve lived my whole life not knowing a thing about outdoor survival other than video games. I’ve already used Dave’s videos to make stuff and learning how to survive if I need to. It’s crazy how fast I’ve learned from this man. Pretty awesome stuff!! Thanks Dave!!
I'd love to go to this basic class and then advance. I went to Jim Miller's Willow Winds primitive skills class almost 25 years ago and LOVED it. You def leave changed.
Cheers Dave!! They claim there is no such thing as a new idea!!! Just a rehashed one!! Great content as always!!! Keep up the great work
What an outcome, thanx for your Inspiration !!!! Great vid !
Awesome video, Dave! Keep doing what you do.
I believe in your system and have learned a ton, the say the biggest form of flattery is imitation.
Dave is still a leader in practical training and methodology and committed to improvements.
Those armchair guys and those hard headed clowns need to stop nitpicking. If you use a ferro rod in your system does it mean you invented the ferro rod?
Grow up and appreciate excellence and practicality and build the community positively to go forward.
I also attest to the quality of customer support. I also encountered an understandable mistake; contacted customer support; and they corrected it right away, no delay.
It demonstrated to me the integrity and thoughtful purposeful meaning of what Dave talked about in this video, even before this video.
Great video Dave, I've been watching you on youtube since 2010, helped me with my ptsd stuff by watching your early videos. You speak like a master. I noticed that the way you unpacked all that information about everything and the way you put it back together from your own experiences were much the same as a martial arts practitioner when they have mastered their art and go on to develop their own system. You sir in my eyes are a grandmaster of your craft much like we get a grandmaster in the martial arts. been there done that messed up time and time again and found the tools for your own tool kit and shared it with people because you can't keep it to yourself and I love that about your system and your evolution. You have a wealth of knowledge that you need to share with those around you. May you be written into the history books as one of the best of the best.
Nothing travels faster than the speed of thought. We are all connected, like aspen.
DC you and your whole family powerhouse of amazing things. thanks for doing what you do. rock on buddy
Hell yeah, another great video. I’ve learned so much from you over the years Dave. Can’t wait to get out and do some classes in person.
A fan from iraq , greetings 👌🙏🌹.
I learned so much from watching your videos
It doesn’t matter where it comes from as long as it does the job and the content you put up as far my experience is with it as help me and others to get it done
Thank you for the informative video. It's really good background information, I would have never asked about the beginning of your school and business because I think it's personal and private. It's very impressive.
Love you Dave. Take a breath.
Thank you Dave, you are one of my two absolute references for bushcraft and survival
Thats cool that your were a reenactor. Im a civil war reenactor myself. Company C 63rd PAV
You and the Pathfinder brand are the real deal! Nothing but respect.
I completely concur, the basic course was a great learning experience and I can’t wait for my winter skills course the 22nd
Keep up the great work dave! From the master himself - Bruce Lee Said - “absorb what is useful, reject what is useless, and add what is essentially your own.” n
Facts! Unbelievable subject matter in a short amount of time. Your school is the best!
Thanks Dave.
I would enjoy attending Pathfinder School one day. I myself live in the Eastern Woodlands of East Kentucky. God's Country if you will.
A class act! Doesn't get any better than Mr. Canterbury.
Maybe Corporal Kelly should have stayed with you Dave. You continue to always evolve and do different things and not the same tired old stuff. Thank you for what you do.
All I can say is the Pathfinder School is the real deal. There's nothing easy about it, but it is also not impossible if you want to succeed. As a lifelong outdoorsman, hunter, and Infantry Veteran, I learned a lot at the Basic Survival course and thoroughly enjoyed myself. The land nav portion is worth the price of admission on its own.
Dave is awesome!
Thanks, Brotherman.
