With everything going on in the world it would be interesting to hear your thoughts on prepping for a grid down/WWIII scenario. Especially as it relates to having land.
Reminds me of old school Dave! Remember the videos 10+ yrs ago. Love those good to see you circling back round. I know you’ve done things since then similar but this feels like the old stuff…yurt series, long hunter, etc. great stuff
David, you always manage to come up with great content and ideas that are rarely covered elsewhere. Great selection of tools. The only thing I don't see that I love while camping is a pair of medium-sized Fiskars loppers. Handy as a shirt pocket for lopping kindling, tent pegs, hangers, etc. Yep, you can use a knife, axe, or machete but once you use the loppers you will wonder why you did not try them before now.
You say it's just a quick and dirty video, but this was so helpful! I just got back from my first hunt ever this weekend, and spent yesterday trying to make a hunting box to put in my suv to be ready for future hunts ( i think im sold for life) . This was so helpful for things to consider.
We use blue barrels to store stuff at camp. One barrel holds the tarps for covering the tents. The other stores camping essentials. Bear spray, ammo, fire kit, and first aid on top. Just enough that if you just had cloths on your back you could make camp and have food to eat. I need to put together a tool chest for camping a lot like Dave's with some extra gardening tools. Having to track down tools for camp every camping trip takes time and things get forgotten. And don't have extra money to buy tools to leave at camp. We do leave bow saw and ax in the out house.
Less than half-way into your presentation , I totally agree and appreciate . Thanks. I am trying to shift from urban to rural , 60 years old , still strong .
Two things come to mind as potentially missing... First, some kind of draw knife, or spokeshave, or crooked knife. This makes it much easier to make tenons to fit in the auger holes, or legs or handles for camp furniture. This can be done with a knife, or hatchet, or machete.....but having a dedicated tool will produce better results in similar time. Second, some kind of tool oil - ballistol, 3in1 oil, or WD-40. This is helpful for coating all the tools to avoid rust as the box is at the camp through the season. This might be covered in the ammo box - Dave did mention some gun oil.
Not a fan of draw knives without a holding device I’m pretty good with that lil axe. As for oil there was a can of wd40 right in that maint box I opened 😉
I've found a little Milwaukee Top-Off 175w battery inverter can help a lot with longer trips. It can charge all your electronics in the field as well as power any lower wattage 110v stuff you may want. It can also be paired with a trickle charger to top off a dead battery. Takes the same batteries as my little Milwaukee sawzall which gets used on processing game and wood all the time. You can get a 12" pruning blade for it and I've used it to cut 10" logs for camp cutting blocks, stools or a working surface.
Amazon ABS Medium size truck box - SOLD OUT...... medium size game gambrel - SOLD OUT! Mr Canterbury is out here driving this economy :) Loving this series!
I always had my big black box with everything I needed in it for camping. It went into my pickup along with my tent, sleeping bags, and camp chairs and I was ready for anything. Since I've gone to an SUV for my expeditions, everything has been scaled down and the big black box is now a couple Action Packers of gear and one of food and cooking utensils. The more we know, the less we have to pack.
things i would add would be a chisel, awl or auger and maybe some leather working tools. the only other thing i would bring specifically for myself would be an eyeglass repair kit I am damn near blind as a bat so that and extra glasses are a must for me
Dave, you inspired me to be prepared. You have saved lives with your vast teaching. Trapping small game is easy, thanks to you! I just want to know how to evade threatening wildlife (hogs and coyote are the problem).
Absolutely love your videos David. I was wondering if you where going to be doing a video on your actual camp setup? I would love to see how you set yours up. Thank you for all the videos you put out showing people new ways of doing things or just different ways of looking at things.
Think you can do a video on the hunting camp from overnighter to wake up and hunt…showing how you address scent, setup of your hunt spot, etc.? I’ve never camped for hunting and wondering how that works from the field versus rise in darkness to get out to a stand.
Love these videos. Keep em coming. I need to get out in the woods soon! Maybe show some gear you use to stay warm. Im in ohio also and its nice during the day but cold at night right now.
Great video.!!!! I knwo you didnt go in to detail about you gun box / ammo canbut one thing I keep with me is a small gunsmithing kit weather I am instructing students on the range or out hunting. If you are interested in my kit hit me would love to talk to you about it. Keep the videos coming
First aid kit...like the ammo...stash them everywhere. Ive worked with scouts and the tender foot dads too often not to stash them like a squirrel hides nuts. And with that kit an over abundance of rubber gloves. From skinning or preventing the smell oil on your hands any number of uses. Plus you dont always do first aid on yourself. If youre near a property line, lost and injured hunters are a thing.
Only thing I could think of would be a pry bar for splitting rock if I was trying to dig a hole or to pry/lift a rock to move. Probably not needed where you were at but I had to at least suggest something
That is a pretty comprehensive load. I do have one question; how well does the gasket on your kerosene bottle cap hold up to the kerosene? I have some similar bottles and they have either a rubber or silicone gasket in the bottle cap. Thank you.
8:08 Dave I’m curious. Do you own a Scatchet? I know, they’re kinda gimmicky but every time I see one on the secondary market I think of your teachings re: our ancestors carrying only heads of tools when they trail blazed to new territory. And have you seen the prices? 500% what they cost in 1980.
Not that it has any barring on this video but I'm just curious. When did it go from "Woodcraft" to "Bushcraft" and why. Growing up I always new it as Woodcraft. Like I say, It doesn't really matter I'm just curious.
My understanding is that woodcraft is more of a historical american term and bushcraft is more of a european term and with Ray Mears having been so influential within the last couple of decades, "bushcraft" became a buzzword that is more or less synonymous with "woodcraft".

I think he should do a video on the basis of that scenario too
th-cam.com/video/PxNGJwXxuZg/w-d-xo.htmlsi=CzW8KUX14Q1oiP6o he spoke at a 2015 prepper show.

The bailing wire i used for years and years tieing rebar you could build some incredibly tough and long-lasting items from baling wire and repairs
Sweet. I like this set up. I am going to do the same thing for my ATV, I’ll also add the ammo can tool box.
Howdy, Brother! You're an amazing guy with a loving family. We truly appreciate all you do for our community! Drive-On, Cowboy! 🤠
From seeing you on TV and watching your TH-cam videos I have learned so much. Thank you Dave
Absolutely love your content, I've watched all of the videos you've put out and all the Dave and Corey episodes. Hope to meet you one day!

I like your camp setup David! I have learned something from this video! David Back from Menifee county Kentucky
I am so enjoying this series!
This promises to be a fine series!🤠 I am particularly interested in your take on a 'Traditional' hunting camp.
Hi Dave thank you for these continued life lessons !
Thanks David, great set-up!
I have herd the prepper lid also called gamma lids.
A pair of gloves and your all set. Maybe a grill for the fire tied to the lid?
Thank you sir for the knowledge you share . I've learned so much from you

That was a great video I really like the toolbox have a great week
Great overall kit... Thanks Dave!
Makes me think of the pioneer boxes we had in the Army all the accentual tools you needed on hand .
things i would add would be a chisel, awl or auger and maybe some leather working tools. the only other thing i would bring specifically for myself would be an eyeglass repair kit I am damn near blind as a bat so that and extra glasses are a must for me
Thank you Sir!
I've kept a box like that in my truck for over 40 years it stays there also keep some paper towels and a small food box just in case .
Never seen those "skinning pliers" before but might have to look for some now.
Looking foward to this series. I love the bucket idea
Good video Dave, ty for sharing
I really miss these common man videos I loved it when you used to do them back in the day
Loving that hand ax. Nice box of extra stuff.
Didn't see a first aid kit but knowing you you have a kit or two somewhere in camp.
In the back pack not the tool box 😉
I am so looking forward to this series!
Thank you for a few great ideas. 👍
Been waiting on a hunting camp series for a long time. Yes I’m excited!
Awesome quad or side by side set up for camp. I’ll be looking to set one up for horseback riding camp
Well done Mr. Canterbury
Love this type of video. Great info. I carry most of these items. Really cool stuff.
There will be many imitators, But their is only one King . 👑
I remember as a child my father would bring home roadkill on his way home from the pub for us to cook and eat. Usually was possum or rabbit.
Thanks Dave
Dave um grande abraço aqui do Brasil.👍👍👍
Dave, you inspired me to be prepared. You have saved lives with your vast teaching. Trapping small game is easy, thanks to you! I just want to know how to evade threatening wildlife (hogs and coyote are the problem).
Dave, completely rap your bailing wire in duck tape, cut a hole out of the center, and then pull it out from the center. Life changing
Absolutely love your videos David. I was wondering if you where going to be doing a video on your actual camp setup? I would love to see how you set yours up. Thank you for all the videos you put out showing people new ways of doing things or just different ways of looking at things.
Coming in this series
Solid kit
I have a chuck box I’m quite proud of.
Think you can do a video on the hunting camp from overnighter to wake up and hunt…showing how you address scent, setup of your hunt spot, etc.? I’ve never camped for hunting and wondering how that works from the field versus rise in darkness to get out to a stand.
I’ll be doing more than one overnight in this series but I don’t hunt from stands only from the ground
Great as always
Great video.
Nice well thought out as usual
The great multitool is a 5 gallon bucket, thanks for the video, stay safe!!!
Love these videos. Keep em coming. I need to get out in the woods soon! Maybe show some gear you use to stay warm. Im in ohio also and its nice during the day but cold at night right now.
Thanks again for a great video!
Was just going to request something like this, going in my jeep now!
Like number 360. Full circle baby. Great content. 🫡
👍👍👍 Thanks
Nice series Dave. I just wish I was out there too!
You could put some of your cordage in the coffee can, in the center of the tapes.
Great video.!!!! I knwo you didnt go in to detail about you gun box / ammo canbut one thing I keep with me is a small gunsmithing kit weather I am instructing students on the range or out hunting. If you are interested in my kit hit me would love to talk to you about it. Keep the videos coming
Only thing missing is one of your old intros with some 'Back in the Woods' from Badhorse.
I would throw in some super glue and a needle and thread. I do like your selection of tools though, very practical!
In my back pack dirty bag
First aid kit...like the ammo...stash them everywhere. Ive worked with scouts and the tender foot dads too often not to stash them like a squirrel hides nuts. And with that kit an over abundance of rubber gloves. From skinning or preventing the smell oil on your hands any number of uses. Plus you dont always do first aid on yourself.

In my back pack
What about splitting a big piece of firewood? you have the one axe to get started, but you couldnt use the other axe as a hammer with that claw end?
Wooden mallet easy to make
Another great video can you do a dry box survival bucket for small fish boat mine has saved my butt many times in thirty years river fishing
❤
Nice
Only thing I could think of would be a pry bar for splitting rock if I was trying to dig a hole or to pry/lift a rock to move. Probably not needed where you were at but I had to at least suggest something
Looks good
I’d put some fencing staples in the coffee can
I always research what farmers and pioneers do or did . And possibly carpenters or blacksmiths . 👍
🙂
Would be awesome to see a full tour of your jeep if you haven’t done so already.
That is a pretty comprehensive load. I do have one question; how well does the gasket on your kerosene bottle cap hold up to the kerosene? I have some similar bottles and they have either a rubber or silicone gasket in the bottle cap. Thank you.
Dear Sir ~
I have already been trying to do what you suggest . Thank you , helpful for me .
I am trying to shift from urban to rural .
Would like to see what you have in that game processing pouch
Yeah man nice!
maybe add a screw in ladder hanging hook for the lantern and a spare bow saw blade?
Dave the Chad
Gamma seal
I like your videos I’d like to know what your thoughts on the best boots
👍💪
8:08 Dave I’m curious. Do you own a Scatchet? I know, they’re kinda gimmicky but every time I see one on the secondary market I think of your teachings re: our ancestors carrying only heads of tools when they trail blazed to new territory. And have you seen the prices? 500% what they cost in 1980.
Would you be willing to do a class around hunting
Not that it has any barring on this video but I'm just curious. When did it go from "Woodcraft" to "Bushcraft" and why. Growing up I always new it as Woodcraft. Like I say, It doesn't really matter I'm just curious.
Bushcraft is British, woodcraft is New world talk
My understanding is that woodcraft is more of a historical american term and bushcraft is more of a european term and with Ray Mears having been so influential within the last couple of decades, "bushcraft" became a buzzword that is more or less synonymous with "woodcraft".
Besides deer what other large game do you hunt up yonder?
I would suggest a Dowling tool that matches your drill bit
Hey Dave hows the tent serving you ? Is it the 10x10? Been looking at them from S G .
If you are gonna carry all that I would keep a handle for the auger in the box instead of making one every time you need it…Have fun stay safe.
FYI. The "prepper" lid is called a gamma lid.
Gammaseal makes buckets much better storage items.
Made me hungry 👍
Maybe a box of 4-6 mil latex gloves for processing game.
Need a good pair of heavy duty leather gloves
Cowabunga.!
😮😮😮😮😮
