I stopped at a saddle maker's shop one afternoon and asked for some "scrap" leather to do some repairs on my saddle. He glared at me and after several seconds, said," First of all, there is NO SUCH THING AS 'SCRAP LEATHER'!! "
S needles found at Walmart sewing section. A side tip: while your picking up needles, grab yourself a thimble. It’s well worth it, especially if your new to this or haven’t developed calloused woodsman hands. 😉👍🏻
sounds great. I found "S" needles at local "Tandy Leather" they also have bags of scraps leather swede and raw hide also you can find the UCO storm matches in Walmart camping section
I am at the beginning of getting back in the game. Cancer is a bitch. I am going to play along in my backyard, which after three years of neglect is pretty close to "out in the woods". Looking forward to" back to the basics " with you. Awesome timing. Thanks
Cancer really sucks. Apparently I decided to get it out of the way early at 12 so I hope that's got me covered. I am definitely looking forward to this as well.
Hi Dan Wowak!! I’m not only a green horn…!! I’m neon green!! Really thankful for your help!! Love your channel, content and products!! ❤❤❤👍🏿👍🏿👍🏿🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 your an awesome inspiration and instructor!!
Mahalo (Thank you in Hawaiian) Dan for all your knowledge. Ive been following for years now and ive had all kinds of fun learning and "Staying in the woods"
"Bushcraft playing around....bushcraft style" Yep, bushcraft...not survival...camping and having fun, it is an aspect of survival if SHTF, yep,..."Bushcraft Skills:"...yep. Dan is the best IMO at Bushcraft and teaches clear as a bell! I love Dan's video!
I finally bit the bullet and bought a grayling. Why? Just in case of SHTF and I can't boil water or my sawyer craps out.. I have everything you mentioned collected over the years now I'm 73 and pretty crippled with spinal stenosis. I'll get out to the woods until I can't. This equipment and the knowledge of its use is worth its weight in gold.
I just watched a video of six years ago of Dan talking around a campfire, with two others, about the time he was on a survival program/show as a contestant. Dan said that he lost 50 pounds during his “survival” experience where snares provided no food that he mentioned, he caught a few fish with grubs, hook, and line. This seems like it was a “primitive type of Bushcraft endurance experience.” My two questions are the following: 1) What was/is the learning from that experience that would benefit one for a real survival situation where there is no team of medical experts checking on the person, no camera crew and production staff to assist if needed for a life-threatening event, and no “tap out” to end the experience? 2) How does one maintain their health (physical and mental) and not lose 50 pounds, a negative outcome? The answers might make a good TH-cam video to help us know some learnings for our own survival life, should that real-life event ever happen to us.
@@toonyoshi3324 While my clothes dry in the Sun, I am off doing farm work...by the time I get back they are usually ALREADY dried 🥰. Now in Winter they are hanging near my wood heater, and I have more time to brush them in Winter after farm chores.
Holy crap Batman! He ran twice as long as usual but packed 4 times as much info into it. Probably more because my brain is still working on it. I slept out under my Coalcracker oilcloth shelter tarp this weekend as I usually do and it just keeps better the more I use it. I might have to try a cheap Tractor Supply tarp which I use all time but this time as a shelter. I can’t wait to follow along with this new project of yours. Out of all the many videos of yours I’ve watched, this one is my favorite! Except for the old cooking with Coalcracker videos. You can’t beat those old classics! Keep up the great work.
Dan, Great introductory video into your Bushcraft Skills series and bushcraft gear tips. Excited to see what content you include in future videos. Happy Trails! 🇺🇸 🏕 🌲
Thanks for this video. Can't Waite for the videos to come. Time for me to get back on the Trail. Its been a few years cause of Back Surgeries and foot Surgeries. Wood Love to do the AP I have done maintenance for a section in NY.. ONE STEP AFTER ANOTHER WILL GET YOU THERE
This is awesome! Can't wait for more! It's always good to go back to the basics. Thank you for all you do for us bro! Another awesome video as always brother 👍 💪
Thanks, I will be rewatching this video, to make a list of all the things needed. The only thing you showed that I don't have is a pocket knife. I have about 6 knives, but no pocket knife.
FYI-I went to Dollar Tree and looked for a metal bottle. They said they sometimes have them, but they would be $5. They don’t have them now, haven’t had them for a while, and don’t know where (or if) they will have them again. But definitely would be $5. Also, nothing at DT is a dollar anymore, anyway.
Hey Dan, I just watched your video and I must say it's really helpful and well made. I was wondering if I could help you design your thumbnails for better CTR? Wanna try out a free one?

Everything is so cheap in the USA? Here in England you'd never get any of that stuff so cheap. As for UCO matches I always just use the matches from ration packs I have UCO but never used them as lighting your pipe useing a mini flare is not going to go well haha.
Hey brother, long time watcher. Uh, so I was on FB and the algorithm showed me a video from "D U Y Build". I'm 99% sure it's one of y'all's old videos. Just seems kinda wack that people are making money off of y'all's content. Maybe I'm mistaken, but it looks a helluva lot like y'all.
Canterbury, Kelly and now W are starting back to basic series or new platforms to reboot bushcraft. We even have a new crypto species to avoid with bigfoot- the bushporn Half naked girl pioneered by Lily and assorted useless content. Bushwars are flaring up between channels faster than a Tom Clancy novel. Why don't you all admit the material has been Done to death , we don't need MORA knife reviews and maybe, maybe leave the eastern woodlands and conpete with Cody in the desert. Anyone who can do a websearch has this material already. Chris K
Bring a pair of leather deerskin work gloves with a grommet punched in the wrists and a cheap carabiner… all the instructors rock em and your hands will thanks you
I stopped at a saddle maker's shop one afternoon and asked for some "scrap" leather to do some repairs on my saddle. He glared at me and after several seconds, said," First of all, there is NO SUCH THING AS 'SCRAP LEATHER'!! "
🤣🤣🤣 Yep, ask a woodworker for his "scrap" wood and you'll get a similar answer 😂😂😂
I think he might be right. Try saying "Do you have any leather off-cuts". Might stop the grumpiness of the average tradesman. 😀

I picked up an axe from HF 6 months ago for about $12. Its surprisingly awesome!

I'm in!!. Get the tarred bank line. You will not regret it. Match box filled with long brass tacks. Not plastic push pins. Let's rock this thing.
Going out tomorrow got a two day trip and do some bushcrafting.
Or as I like to call it dozing in a hammock for two days .
I've been watching some of the old videos. I'm still waiting for a canoe camp
I have never seen metal water bottles in my dollar tree lol but the sugar shaker is such a great idea 💪🏻 no clue why I never thought of that .
Tandy has a scrape bin you can pick from and get a variety of leather pretty cheap. The pieces may not be as large as what Dan showed though.

Old leather purse work wonders, use pieces to knapp on.

Using lint from a dryer is also helpful to start fires as well
I have a solar dryer, there IS no lint...now what!?!🥹
@@i_am_a_freespirit brush ur clothes as they dry .. there's ur lint...but thats hang drying... naturally

Tandy leather you can get the needles
Sounds like this will be a great series, especially for those of us in the south. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Thanks for doin this .
Great idea about the flour shaker. Would not have thought of it.👍
This is an excellent idea! I love it! Help people get their feet wet and play a little!
Both Walmart and Joann Crafts sell leather working needles.
Thanks, Dan! This is going to be fun!
This is awesome! Can't wait for more! It's always good to go back to the basics. Thank you for all you do for us bro! Another awesome video as always brother 👍 💪
Im looking forward to this.
Basics and then advanced basics. Keep the vids coming.
Thanks. This will be fun.
DAN IS THE MAN !!! Excellent Bushcraft Instructions.
awesome, looking forward to the series. Im almost 3 months post double knee replacement and looking forward to get back into the woods.
A pawn/thrift store file and a bench grinder will make a great fire steel as well.
Hi Dan, tell your team I said Hi and see you at the end of June for the survival class. Great video and tips. Thanks for sharing.
I've learned so much from your videos. Ever do any rock or cave shelters?
Thanks Dan😊
Thanks, I will be rewatching this video, to make a list of all the things needed. The only thing you showed that I don't have is a pocket knife. I have about 6 knives, but no pocket knife.
Get single wall metal bottles at thrift stores for $1-2. I keep them in all the vehicles I own.
Awesome, can't wait.
Love it.. planning on keeping up with this... funny thing.. I think the birds outside my window are responding to the ones in your video!
Outstanding
Awsome DAN! Looking foreword to seeing more.

How exciting
Dumpster dive for the scrap leather !
This is gonna be great!!!
Really cool stuff gave me some good ideas
Good Job
thanx for sharing
I like the idea.
Very nice 👌
Good stuff

Hey Dan,
I just watched your video and I must say it's really helpful and well made.
I was wondering if I could help you design your thumbnails for better CTR? Wanna try out a free one?
Hank hill once said, "the greats practice the fundamentals"
I don't like to use multi tools, they pinch my fingers bloody, trying to use them😭
You picked out a SS water bottle that matches your room decor? (-:

I miss the last intro. This one is still awesome but the last one made me dance in my tree.
Hobby lobby sells leather scrap for cheap
Like your fans comments man they look up to you.....
Anyone else noticed how Dan always brings up a file THE SIZE OF MY THIGH, or is just me?
Everything is so cheap in the USA? Here in England you'd never get any of that stuff so cheap.
As for UCO matches I always just use the matches from ration packs I have UCO but never used them as lighting your pipe useing a mini flare is not going to go well haha.
UCO matches can burn fingers.

If you do cut up your underwear for char cloth, make sure you wash them first...
Smells real bad if you don't...
... Won't make that mistake twice.
