Oh man, I've been waiting for this, since you first mentioned it! This is spot on, and much needed on the TH-cams, lol! Thanks for doing this, I'll be standing by!
Thank you, Dave. Somebody needed to explain the distinction, and you have the knowledge, the articulation, and the platform to finally put the labels where they belong.
I don't think anybody can say it better. That was simple and to the point. I really like how you took a complex topic and simplified it so anyone could understand.
As a former teacher, this was an excellent way of presenting your information. I taught elementary for 9 years, taught adult college education for a short time, as an Assistant Scoutmaster, taught rank achievements, crafts, skills all sorts of Merit Badges, backpacking, etc. and loved it all. Last teaching I did was as a Certified Flight Instructor for Single and Multi-engine airplanes and Instrument flight. Nowadays I am retired but still help anyone wanting to learn mainly backpacking and hiking. The point I wanted to make is that your teaching skills are spot on. Keep helping us enjoy the the outdoors.
Great explanation you simplified it marvelously.....I camp, hunt, fish, canoe in the swamps of Southeastern Louisiana and at any time a simple trip could turn into a survival situation. I encourage everyone that ventures out to do the things that I do to have at least a basic knowledge of fire, water and shelter. When I venture out in my everyday life I keep the survival components in place at all times.....because it’s not if it happens, it’s when it happens.
I thank you Sir Dave. This has been my mind set from the beginning. I enjoy seeing the birthing of a return to true understanding. I will be 63 soon and have been learning All my life as I still am and will be until I move on. I grew up through scouting then the military and reach for every opportunity I’m given to share a lifetime of experiences with the youth in my life. May God Bless you and yours and continue your blessing as mine have been. 🏕
21 'youtube master bushcrafters' have disliked your video. It's a shame what the world is heading towards.. Great video as usual Dave! Keep up the good work!
finally someone who can make sense of it all; a person camping in the woods with their dog calling it bushcraft or survival or battoning a little wood in their lean-to; makes for entertainment only and that is if they are interesting and only for a short time; you can get me there but you cannot keep me fore they are only make-believe- to which I unsubscribe I am a woodsman; I used to make my living from the forest and I am very comfortable in the forest; I still cut my firewood and go hiking, hunting and fishing so I really appreciate like minded people and I am not going to freak out if put in a lost or stranded in the forest situation; I think that is the biggest obstacle; but I also appreciate others whose skills I can learn from; all the best
I like how well you defined your terms, then narrowed the focus of your new series and explained so succinctly what you were and were not going to get into with it. Well done, sir. I am looking forward to this series even more now.
Dave . . . . I love you description! And talk about a mindset change when you said "if you have these skills mastered, I think you could turn a survival situation into a camping situation" I think that would really help someone's mindset in that situation. Great video!
This explanation is valueable. There are so many books abourt bushcraft growing out of the ground - and tell it wrong. When I grew up, the forrest and fields was my playgrond, because our garden was next to it. I feel comfortable being there again, today. But I'd never would say that I'm a bushcrafter or even a camper.
Brilliant explanation. I learned that "we practice bushcraft, prepare for survival if necessary, but are ultimately outdoorsman". Love the clear and thorough persepctive sir! Liked and subbed!
Well done, Dave. Pretty much lines up with how I feel. What you said makes me think that if you are prepared for a survival situation, you're pretty much just "unintentionally camping".
From watching TH-cam one would be forgiven for thinking bushcraft was hammering your knife through logs from the woodpile and then using your channel as a shopping channel. You see people doing a lot of talking and precious little bushcraft. I'm not talking about your channel here you are different.
Bushcraft has gone far off course, people make it glamorous with all these expensive gear and kit items . It's more of a show and tell now days a photo shoot of gear,coffee and bacon. Just my opinion of it for the most part .
But... but.. how are you going to make kindling and carve feathersticks to light with your ferro rod if you don't break large logs to splinters by battoning your knife through them? It's in all the other videos...
@@bobashmore6442 There there Bob 😉You can just pick a handful of thin twigs and put a match to them. This is a strange, new and wonderful idea but it works 😀
Wait. No candle holders?! Sigh. Ha! Looking forward to this video journey, these episodes. Thanks for taking the time, brother. I know it cant be easy.
Very good explanation. Having no experience with bushcraft, you made that explanation easy to understand. I hope I am never in the situation of survival, but if I am I hope to remember this. Thank you for sharing
I think you hit the nail on the head Dave. Bushcraft to me is basically camping, but without the comforts associated with camping unless you make those comforts out of the natural materials around you. Survival is basic bushcraft but unplanned. Just my 2 cents. Thanks for doing this series, I'm anxious to see the next episodes.
Hi David, CNN sucks bigtime! Overhere in Holland it's not taken seriously for over lots of years. Stay save & sound for family and friends ditto. Greetings.
You rock , man : ) Thanks for this badly needed , well thought out and explained vid ! Looking forward to your series on the aspects of Bushcraft that I , and probably most of the other people watching Bushcraft vids on the Tube , enjoy learning about the most . Clicking notification bell now . Done !
I love your explanation! Really puts things into perspective for me! I'm not just a prepper, I've been focusing on learning bushcraft knowledge and skills as well. Looking forward to this series!
Great job of drilling down on all three subjects and how they are connected. I'm looking forward to your series as this is the spectrum that I really enjoy as well. Thanks Dave!
Wow Dave, I think that you nailed it! I don't know how you got all that sorted out, but I think that it is spot on! I like the comment that you made towards the end about how if you have that left end of bushcraft mastered, you can possibly turn a survival situation into a [forced] camping situation. I once read a little story in one of Calvin Rutstrum's books where he and a friend found themselves in that exact situation. They were trying to drive from Duluth up along Superior's north shore but got stuck in a snowstorm. Duluth sent some folks out with a snowplow truck to go rescue them, and when they found Rutstrum and his friend, they were in a lean-to, in front of a cozy fire, and offered the rescuers some fresh baked bannock. It was also cool to hear you mention Bernard Mason's books. One of his books from the 1940's was one of my favorite woodcraft/camping books when i was a kid. I've never heard anyone mention him before.
Hey Gareth. I'm actually doing a video right now about bushcraft books. It will probably be out very soon. Love that story about the people with the lean to. I know that country up there very well. and its really awesome country.
Hello Dave, greetings from Northern California. You explained these topics quite well. I look forward to your other videos in this series. Thank you for sharing. Be safe out there. 🤗
Valuable to me...my intrinsic values are now enriched. Thanks for the thoughts and mental work you did. The primary colors and chart was helpful too..😎
Nicely explained. I see a lot of stuff on youtube called "survival" that is really just camping or craft. When they start doing things to make camping more comfortable, or fun things to occupy the mind... that's not survival. I watch them none the less because I like knowing how to make or do useful or fun things when camping, some of which cross over into the survival skill category and bushcraft category. What better time to practice that stuff than when camping.
I've been of the Schooling ... There are 3 levels to Living/survival in the Bush 1) *Primitive* => Using Natural Ways and Raw Resources for survival. _Classes that use this level are_ => Native Survival techniques, forager & hunting groups. 2) *Classical* => Using the mixture of *1500's Tools* with *Primitive survival techniques* . _Classes that use this level are_ => Mountain Man skills , Classical Homesteading, Explorers of the Wild, Pioneers, Voyagers, 3) *Modern* => Using tools from 1800's to present day . _Classes that use this level are_ => Boy Scouts , Glamping , Long distant Thru-Hikers, Military, Bushcraft skills, 4) *Technology* => Using present technological equipment _Classes that use this level are_ => internet dependancy, battery power source equipment, etc. That's my 2 cents. cheers
Hi Dave, in my simple opinion, I think bushcraft is making nature work for you. Be it tools, shelters, traps, and of course the number one skill in my opinion, fire. When it comes to survival, I think bushcraft skills are very beneficial of course, but your state of mind is the most important, in my opinion that is of course. Rock On!
I’ve seen the question a lot on other social media as well as TH-cam I’ve tried to explain the deference’s in much the same way But this is the best explanation of the major deference’s in Bushcraft Survival & Camping
you said it as i teach it for years and the model i use is almost the same, so again well said, see in your remarks that some people still not get what you said and talk nonsens, but for it is clear thanks and lets all go to basic again and work on that skill set, shelter, fire, water and do with what nature gives us.
For several years I took the family tent camping on summer vacation each year. Planed A year in advance at different campgrounds. Every year we would endure the most intent middle of the night gully washing thunder and lightning storms the I've seen since. So it was the of our family camping adventures.
It's an interesting way of explaining it! I personally see it as.. We are all recreating outdoors in some fashion, until you are not. You will know the difference when it occurs. Far to many people are hung up on terms, labels, titles, certifications, & feeling important while doing outdoor activities, instead of for the sake of learning, personal growth and enjoyment. Thanks for the video...
I was skeptical when I started your video (the first I’ve watched by you) but I have to say it is THE best explanation I’ve seen. I plan on sharing it EXTENSIVELY. Keep up the great work
What I’ve learned throughout life is survival is free thinking. We had our canoe sucked under a log jam on the Tanana river near Fairbanks. You had to do with what was in you pockets and on your belt. We were drying out lighters and cleaning handguns. Fortunately a couple of hours later some guy with a big flat bottom river boat came upstream as he was picking up our floating debris. And we were at our trucks in a few hours(with no keys). Another lesson.
OH Shit! I know that river and its a MESS between Delta and Fairbanks. Makes my skin crawl thinking of it. I was on the Tanana down by the Good Pasture river once when I saw the but of a log come 4' up out of the water and then disappear again never to be seen .........and its pretty calm up there compared to to the stretch by Salcha.
Dave, excellent video. Your sensibility is why I watch your channel. You really remind me of an old friend I had. If I needed to know anything, I’d ask him. And the solution was always how can we solve this simply, with stuff we have available. Keep up the good work my friend, you do make a difference.
Hi Dave, I have been anxiously waiting for this. And I think I completely understand that you needed to kick off the series with a background definition of what you are about to go into. Correct me if Im wrong, but it could have been difficult to just start off "bushcrafting" without first defining the different ways people spend outdoors. Great explanation!
Thank you Mr.Whipple -thanks alot, you are spoken whright out of me Heart and Soul. For me Bushcraft skills and Tools has nothing to do with Survival. Thats it, all I have to say. Manny Thumps 👍👍👍 up for you and your new Series GfG Black Forest (Walter )
Awesome Episode Dave, I like the break down. Here in East Tennessee we call it growing up and living on the mountain, Lol. Keep up the good work. Wateing on the next episode.
That was a great explanation of camping , bushcraft and survival. I hope your demographics are not younger kids. They don’t teach cursive in school these days. I’ll tell you what else is in that empty survival area, hunger, mind games, sleep depravation and lots of calories burnt.😂 Thanks for another great video.
Have been watching Girl in the Woods and knew time was coming to follow you too. Just saw the 9252LifeOffGrid he said to git over here so today I subbed ya! Looking forward to your info. Seems a lot of us watch the same channels. Kyles Cabin, OffGrid Bo, Timber Life, just to name a few. I am an avid backpacker too and watch a slew of those along with RV stuff since I love that too with my Wolf Pup camper. At 74 I keep at it. Just rode my Suzuki Boulevard up from FL to WV. Thanks for the info in both channels of you and your wife. That outhouse build was spot on!
Very clear introduction to what your focus will be. Really enjoyed this video and will be looking out for the next. You make a great teacher, Dave. I really like your style.
Excellent points. I look at bushcrafting as being in the wilderness, and utilizing the skills I learned in Boy Scouts, to be there whether or not in a survival situation. Bushcrafting to me is using trained skills to be in the wilderness on purpose or otherwise.
A very well-thought-out explanation, Dave. It makes sense. I certainly hope to have the skills and tools needed to turn a possible "survival/emergency" situation into just another adventure! Confidence (and thus, a cool head) come from being prepared. Looking forward to more of this series, sir! Thanks for sharing ... God Bless
Well thought out! The one comment that I would add is in the survival circle on your diagram. Everything you explained is dead on, but usually death is not a certain outcome in the bushcraft or camping scenarios, but is a very real outcome if things don't get better in the survival scenario. Great video.
Very well explained. Great video! There are a few people on youtube who teach real bushcraft skills and primitive survival but your visual really delineates the three areas well.
Start a fire the way I did back in the 1970s went to the dollar store bought two three packs of Bic lighters most people are not going to start a fire with a bow-drill
Yeah the whole rubbing sticks together is great to know and fun to practice but I like to enjoy my limited time in the woods. Heck even when you live in the woods your time is important with making a living, firewood,chores never ending really.
Trained in Jungle Survival, Mountain Warfare/ Survival, Winter Warfare/ Survival. While in the Military, but I knew the basics from my grandfather from Canada 🇨🇦. As he said water,fire, shelter,and then food.
Oh man, I've been waiting for this, since you first mentioned it! This is spot on, and much needed on the TH-cams, lol!
Thanks for doing this, I'll be standing by!
Thanks.
Hi
I think this is the clearest, most simple, basic explanation of those three areas that no one has ever tackled before. Nailed it!
Thanks......you want to go out on a date?
Dave that was an awesome explanation, may have to start calling you the "Professor" lol, looking forward to your series, and as always stay safe Dave.
Thanks Gordon. I appreciate it.
Hi
Thank you, Dave. Somebody needed to explain the distinction, and you have the knowledge, the articulation, and the platform to finally put the labels where they belong.
Thanks
I don't think anybody can say it better. That was simple and to the point. I really like how you took a complex topic and simplified it so anyone could understand.

Complex topic??? Wow! just sad.

I am retired but still help anyone wanting to learn mainly backpacking and hiking. The point I wanted to make is that your teaching skills are spot on. Keep helping us enjoy the the outdoors.
Thanks Dave
Agree with you 💯!! Great job explaining it. Knowledge is everything!!
Thanks
Well thought out explanation. Am looking forward to watching the rest of the series.
Thanks Lonnie.
Spot on Dave!!!! Solid reasoning on the subject!!!
Thanks
Hi
(Shelter, fire, water)
(Being comfortable)
(Spoon carving)
Thank you Dave! : )
Thanks
Sir that was right on the money in my book. Great explanation. I can relate to both ends of the spectrum.

thanks Victor.
Great explanation you simplified it marvelously.....I camp, hunt, fish, canoe in the swamps of Southeastern Louisiana and at any time a simple trip could turn into a survival situation.

This is the first time someone can explain very very clearly, right on Dave!
Thanks
I thank you Sir Dave. This has been my mind set from the beginning. I enjoy seeing the birthing of a return to true understanding. I will be 63 soon and have been learning All my life as I still am and will be until I move on. I grew up through scouting then the military and reach for every opportunity I’m given to share a lifetime of experiences with the youth in my life.

Thank you, and the same to you my friend.
21 'youtube master bushcrafters' have disliked your video. It's a shame what the world is heading towards.. Great video as usual Dave! Keep up the good work!
Thanks. I probably should have battoned something. LOL
finally someone who can make sense of it all; a person camping in the woods with their dog calling it bushcraft or survival or battoning a little wood in their lean-to; makes for entertainment only and that is if they are interesting and only for a short time; you can get me there but you cannot keep me fore they are only make-believe- to which I unsubscribe
I am a woodsman; I used to make my living from the forest and I am very comfortable in the forest; I still cut my firewood and go hiking, hunting and fishing so I really appreciate like minded people and I am not going to freak out if put in a lost or stranded in the forest situation; I think that is the biggest obstacle; but I also appreciate others whose skills I can learn from; all the best
Thanks Kevim. .....PS....I have had to change your name 100 times....Spell check want to change it to Kevin.
Great job Dave. Loved the way you sorted things out. The only thing I could add under Survival is the desire or need for RESCUE.
I like how well you defined your terms, then narrowed the focus of your new series and explained so succinctly what you were and were not going to get into with it. Well done, sir. I am looking forward to this series even more now.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us Dave 🙏. Very well explained. Much appreciated!
Excellent job, I hope everyone that spends any time in the bush gets to see and understand this. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for taking the time, brother. I know it cant be easy.
Thanks RC. It took about 2 hours to shoot and edit this video......and about 2 weeks to get around to doing it. LOL
Hi
Always a pleasure Dave. Great job.
Very good explanation. Having no experience with bushcraft, you made that explanation easy to understand. I hope I am never in the situation of survival, but if I am I hope to remember this. Thank you for sharing
Agreed. Everything outside of the 3 essential skills is just having fun in the wilderness.

There are 3 levels to Living/survival in the Bush
1) *Primitive* => Using Natural Ways and Raw Resources for survival.
_Classes that use this level are_ => Native Survival techniques, forager & hunting groups.
2) *Classical* => Using the mixture of *1500's Tools* with *Primitive survival techniques* .
_Classes that use this level are_ => Mountain Man skills , Classical Homesteading, Explorers of the Wild, Pioneers, Voyagers,
3) *Modern* => Using tools from 1800's to present day .
_Classes that use this level are_ => Boy Scouts , Glamping , Long distant Thru-Hikers, Military, Bushcraft skills,

Hi
Nice explanation Dave. Always a treat to hear your side of things. The four thumbs down must be glampers, as they weren't on the graph. Cheers!
LOL, darn glampers.
Hit the nail on the head, I reckon. Great explanation.
Thanks
What I’ve learned throughout life is survival is free thinking. We had our canoe sucked under a log jam on the Tanana river near Fairbanks.

Looking forward to the series, Dave. TFS

I’ll tell you what else is in that empty survival area, hunger, mind games, sleep depravation and lots of calories burnt.😂
Thanks for another great video.
Yes. Very good points. Mind games are a huge part of the red area. LOL
Have been watching Girl in the Woods and knew time was coming to follow you too. Just saw the 9252LifeOffGrid he said to git over here so today I subbed ya! Looking forward to your info. Seems a lot of us watch the same channels. Kyles Cabin, OffGrid Bo, Timber Life, just to name a few. I am an avid backpacker too and watch a slew of those along with RV stuff since I love that too with my Wolf Pup camper. At 74 I keep at it. Just rode my Suzuki Boulevard up from FL to WV. Thanks for the info in both channels of you and your wife. That outhouse build was spot on!
Very clear introduction to what your focus will be. Really enjoyed this video and will be looking out for the next. You make a great teacher, Dave. I really like your style.
Thanks Kate
Great video and explanation Dave!!! I'm really looking forward to this series! I love you man!!
Thanks Brad
Professor, thanks Dave. You explained it so well. Looking forward to series.
Thanks Barry
Fascinating take on this tricky subject; you make a lot of sense. Enjoyed watching - thanks!
Thanks
Awesome explanation and the graphics helps greatly to make the differences between the disciplines. Great job Dave
Glad it was helpful!
Yes, your example is on point. Thanks and take care.
Thanks Quinn
Excellent points. I look at bushcrafting as being in the wilderness, and utilizing the skills I learned in Boy Scouts, to be there whether or not in a survival situation. Bushcrafting to me is using trained skills to be in the wilderness on purpose or otherwise.
Good explanation
A very well-thought-out explanation, Dave. It makes sense. I certainly hope to have the skills and tools needed to turn a possible "survival/emergency" situation into just another adventure! Confidence (and thus, a cool head) come from being prepared. Looking forward to more of this series, sir! Thanks for sharing ... God Bless
Thanks Dave
Well thought out! The one comment that I would add is in the survival circle on your diagram. Everything you explained is dead on, but usually death is not a certain outcome in the bushcraft or camping scenarios, but is a very real outcome if things don't get better in the survival scenario. Great video.
good point. Death is what really makes something a survival situation.
Very well explained. Great video! There are a few people on youtube who teach real bushcraft skills and primitive survival but your visual really delineates the three areas well.
Thanks
I like your explanations. Practicing different skills is key to bushcraft and survival.
Yup! If you haven't done something than it isn't a skill yet.....its only hypothetical.
Always a pleasure Dave.
Thanks!
Great explanation, Dave. I'm really looking forward to these videos.
Thanks Mike
Hi,fon no me,06557082
I've been looking forward to this!
Thanks
Start a fire the way I did back in the 1970s went to the dollar store bought two three packs of Bic lighters most people are not going to start a fire with a bow-drill
LOL, right on.
Yeah the whole rubbing sticks together is great to know and fun to practice but I like to enjoy my limited time in the woods. Heck even when you live in the woods your time is important with making a living, firewood,chores never ending really.
Making friction fire sucks, bic all the way
Very interesting breakdown! Looking forward to the rest of the series!
Thanks
Hey Dave, that has to be the best explanation that I've ever heard. Thanks EH!
Thanks Randy.
Hi
Hey Dave, great explanation! Looking forward to seeing whatcha got coming.
Thanks
Nice way to explain it .have been waiting for the videos and now there started ..bring them and the popcorn on
Trained in Jungle Survival, Mountain Warfare/ Survival, Winter Warfare/ Survival.
While in the Military, but I knew the basics from my grandfather from Canada 🇨🇦. As he said water,fire, shelter,and then food.
Love it! Can't wait for the rest of the videos!
Thanks.
