You’re only second too Dave Cantaberry as far as my favorite you tubers. But on the level of raw an truthful charector selection. Man Dave. You’ve got em all beat hands down for sure. You’re the most real most honest and most entertaining TH-camr on this platform. I wish they would pay you a real salary so u could just make videos for a living. God loves you my man. He loves us all but I can see how much He loves you just by how you hold yourself and how you speak truthfully and the innocent goofiness that you possesss could only be a true gift from God. So stay blessed Pearson and I pray the family is well and errrr ting is stable at home for ya guys
Great stuff my brother! Always amazes me how you pack so much useful information into your videos while keeping them fun to watch the whole time :) All the best! -John
IntenseAngler Thanks Brother John ! Im glad you liked it. Long time no see man, good hearing from you. You know me, I have to pack em full to make em fit to watch. LOL. Take care now.
I really do appreciate your videos. I used to hunt and camp and fish and lots of times just camp. In other words I love the outdoors. But about 6 years ago I became disabled and had to retire so these videos are of great entertainment to me. Please keep them coming.
Randy Musick Thank you Randy, Im glad you like the videos and they can bring a little of the outdoors to you. I know its tough not being able to get out there any more. Lots more videos in the works, Thanks for watching my friend.
love when my account says you made a video..... long time subscriber..... love watching always learn from you.. have a great day... now that im divorced gonna start going out and camping.
discgolfer78 Cool, Im glad you liked it and its always good to hear when a friend learns from me. Get out there and make some vids. Its the most fun you can have in the woods.
While I think you make some of the most informative outdoor videos, it is your engaging personality I enjoy the most. I feel like I am in the woods with you and we are talking...and your laugh is my favorite!!!
joyfuldenay Thanks! Im glad you liked it and how I presented it. I often just treat the camera like Im talking to friends. Oh, and I laugh constantly. :)
Great video David. Drab green is so your color. Like seeing the recycling of the folding chair. I now have and idea to do with one of. Peace and till the next one, take care.
Bridgette Brown Thanks! Im glad you liked it Bridgette. I do love olive drab, years ago, a friend nicknamed me Olive Drab Dave. LOL. Never throw out an old camp chair without chopping it up. :). Thanks for watching
Truly an international theme on your video David, featuring the Basha and Billy can in the heart of the USA, fun instruction and time in the wilderness, thank you very much for your observations and modelling the head gear also, great fun.
Hi again David. Loved your shelter, loved your outdoor fashion show. And by the way, you have great hair.. :-) More seriously, it was very interesting seeing some of the details of your sleeping arrangements. I don't recall seeing you with a sleeping bag on any of your outings, and you don't do a lot of fire heated shelters. But I also don't know the weather where your at, but I'm guessing it runs pretty warm. Plus most your shelters probably trap heat pretty well if you need them too. And now, as you've shown, you have a good layering system that obviously does the job.. Thanks for the fun my friend. :-)
saradreaming Outdoor fashion show? At least it wasnt a beauty contest, LOL! I rarely carry a sleeping bag unless it gets super cold which is rare around here. I have a few heated shelters but its a pain keeping up with the fire all night so I often do change into some warm dry under clothes. Most of my shelters are so small, they retain body heat quite well. As always, fantastic to hear from you. Take care Sara and Thanks for watching
Thanks from all of us for another good one Dave,...we enjoy watching and learning from your creativity...your super attitude mixed with your sense of humor keeps us returning, to see what ole'-Dave is up to next !!... Great job and keep 'em coming...Peace, cheers, and blessings to you and yours...
You bet Dave, and thanks so much for responding....I'm watching your ''up the tree'' video that Nick filmed at the moment...take care and Via Con Dios....
He's back and in OD Green! :) Great to see you, David. I always enjoy the shelters. Nice Billy can set up. Those folding cups are cool. I can see why you like that last hood. Good cover all around. Great mod on the Warlock sheath! Excellent video! A+++
boggycreekbeast Thanks Brother! Im glad you liked it all. Another commenter mentioned they had some fold a cups that has lasted for ten years! Ive tried several hoods and I love that crewman hood the best. I finally like wearing my Warlock too. LOL. Take care brother.
Ten years?!? Thanks for the tips bro! I forgot to mention that I like the discussion on thermals, too. Any chance that Bushcraft Santa will be showing up in your next video? :)
Life is definitely short. Get out there and have fun. Great words to live by. One day you are a kid, the next you have kids, then you are a grandparent wondering where the time went. I'm not there yet, at least to the grandparent stage, so I plan to enjoy the kids as much as possible before they leave the nest. Another cool shelter and video. Love the sheath extender and the creative table. I have a chair that is broke and I just couldn't make myself throw it away thinking, there has to be something I can use this for. Well, there you go!! A table!
Very well said. I remember when my son started school. I remember the early years but it honestly seems like middle school went by in a month and his high school years seemed like a week! Where does time go? I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching
+Reallybigmonkey1 Another fun and entertaining video, I'm slowly picking through your entire selection :) Just out of curiosity, what pack are you using here? Ty Sir.
Your comment "This being elastic, is fantastic" @ 42:35 is hilarious! Another good one my friend. Thanks for sharing more of your outdoor experience with us.
You are one of the best. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and passing it on to the next generations. You really should write this stuff down and preserve the knowledge.
To start off, I love your videos. I always learn cool tips and trick each episode. Secondly, I know you're not into all of the crazy ways of doing stuff but I recently saw a video on a cool fire starter you could try out. You just cut a gum wrapper a certain way and place each side on opposite ends of a AA battery. I know I sounds kinda confusing but I saw it on Grant thomsons youtube page. It should be the firsts video
david phillips Thanks David, I'm glad you like the vids and its always good to hear that an experienced camper can learn some from me. Take care now brother
Thanks Man, British Army gear has been overlooked here in the states for what ever reason but I think they get it right more than we here in the U.S. give them credit for . If you look at the surplus gear on the market you can find great items that will work well with the woodlands we live in here in the eastern U.S. But hey Great vid, glad to see you thriving Bro. I think I just came up with a TH-cam name ,what do you think Woodland Millwright. Rock on . Dale
Dale Wilson Man your right, almost all the British surplus military gear Ive tried has been tough as nails, I love it. Its just kinda hard to get here. That's a very cool name! Even cooler since my Dad is a retired Millwright. Im glad you liked the vid, Thanks for watching Dale.
HI DAVID,I HAVE WATCHED ALL YOUR VIDEOS AND ENJOY THEM A GREAT DEAL.THANK YOU FOR YOUR INSIGHT AND ALL I HAVE LEARNED FROM YOU,YOU'RE THE BEST! HAVE A GREAT HOLIDAY SEASON,TER FROM FLORIDA
Brother, I can't tell you enough how enjoyable your videos are. Not only can I tell how much fun you're having out in the woods, but your laid back sense of humour makes the videos that much more enjoyable. I learn so much from your videos that its like a Christmas present each new video you make. My favourite so far has to be the fireplace in the tarp using the welding blanket, and heat reflector. I was doubtful when I saw it, to be honest, but holy moly when I tried it out, I was shittin grins. Man it really works, and where I'm up in Nova Scotia, Canada, having heat in a shelter makes things so much more comfortable. I like to talk too man so you keep the videos coming, as they are some of the best on youtube regarding these topics. Take care of yourself and be well.
As always, very cool shelter and gear. No matter what we do or explain, it always takes longer than we expect or plan, besides you have fun doing it. Thanks for showing and doing the video. Take care and Happy New Year!
Ollie Berry Thanks! Im glad you liked it Ollie. How true, usually I only film half what Ive planned due to it taking so long to show. I guess thats why my planned videos are so piled up now. Happy New year to you too my friend!
Always a pleasure watching your great videos. Many thanks. Just so you know I watched this on my iPad, in my shed while running on a treadmill in North Wales. Your videos go far and wide :)
Sim Deck Always good to hear you liked it Sim. Thats awesome to hear how you watched it! I never in a million years would have thought that I could make it all the way round the world to be watched in North Wales. That just goes to show how amazing youtube is on a world wide base. Take care and Thanks for watching my friend.
brother, you don't know how many of those fold up chairs I have thrown out. I've always looked at them thinking what could I use this broken chair for. amazes me what other people can come up with for ideas. great video David.
yoopersurvival No need to ever throw one out again! LOL. Lots of uses for everything if you sit and think about it long enough. Dont look at a broken object, look at what the separate parts can be made into. Im glad you liked it, Thanks for watching my friend.
Reallybigmonkey1 It's the curse of the creative mind... hoarding. LOL! You should see my place. I have to move with certain finesse just to walk through the house.
It's good to hear that you have fun making these videos. Because I sure have lots of fun watching them! You are easily one of my favorite people on TH-cam. And that's because you are real, with flaws as well as strong points. And a whole lot of humor! So enjoy yourself and we will all enjoy your vids. Take care, jochen
Apfelmann Thanks Jochen ! Im glad you liked it and what I do. I feel like I gotta be as real as possible in case others want to do the things I do. I dont like folks being surprised, LOL. Take care and Thanks for watching.
Just got through some major personal hassles with stuff that turned out alright but I'm done. But, watching your videos gives me something that tunes me back up again. Thank you dear crazy man of the woods, I cant wait to tinker in my own backyard. Might even drag out my sewing machine too
Sorry to hear about the hassles but very happy to hear you got through them! I feel like every where we go nowadays we get bombarded with negativity, drama and peoples opinions on everything. I try and keep everything up beat, fun and carefree. Get out and play or stay in and sew some camping gear!
You don't talk to much I like the way you present things and the fact that you don't make 10 different 7 minute videos you roll a lot of info into one video. Thanks for it...
jwarrick3 Good because I love talking! LOL. I used to hate it when I got into watching a video then it was over too quick, thats one of the reasons I pack it all into one vid. Kinda like a free show. Thanks for watching my friend.
David, I am never disappointed with one of your ''AIN'T THAT NEAT VIDEOS'' And this one is no exception. AWESOME!! I love what you did with the the old camp chair and that shelter is pretty cool too...
gone back and found some that I have not watched. Always enjoy your vids Dave, humour, creativity and yes of course the talking. Keep up the good work and keep explaining all the great things you do.
Thanks! Man thats one bad thing about TH-cam. A person can have different one of a kind videos for 5 or 6 years and often they dont get seen. I hate refilming a subject so I LOVE hearing when someone looks back to the older ones!
Dave, you are an inspiration. I have yet to watch the whole video due to time constraints but I will finish it as soon as things slow down a bit. Christmas can be a crazy time. Thanks for everything and have a merry Christmas. Looking forward to the next video!
Blacklock Always good to hear that. I love to inspire folks to get out and do things outdoors and enjoy life. I hope you had a very Merry Christmas too brother.
jchiliw Oh yes, this one can be made for any size no matter how big. The bigger the tree, the wider the bed will be. That Basha tarp is one tough piece of gear. Take care and Thanks for watching my friend.
What a great morning watching and learning some special things to place in my camping pack from your Utube Videos !! You, my friend have a "Special Calling" ............ To spread Enthusiasm and Man's Imagination for the Great outdoors !! You indeed spread this love of outdoors to both young and old alike ! I just sure wish I could buy some of the simple metal pieces to place pots on a fire with ! Great ideas !
Jack Taylor Thank you Jack, Im happy you are enjoying the videos so much. I like to teach a little, entertain a little but hopefully motivate a lot to get outdoors and have a little fun. Thanks for watching my friend.
yep still going back and watching the older videos almost healed up from all the cancer removal surgery. I fingers when M healed up enough to go play in the woods it will be cold and snowy , Hay Dave have a great and Mary Christmas
Hey there dave!! I would like to thank you for your amazing videos. I can imagine how much time and dedication you spent on them, and also the fun you have by doing it. Keep the good work on 2015, happy new year! Greetings from a brazilian southern!!
Ze Thiago Thank you my friend! Yes, they do take a lot of time and effort to make the vids. Half the time I dont even like how they turn out. LOL. More on the way for 2015. Happy New Year to you from Georgia in the USA!
Can't thank y'all enough for all your videos. I have watched most and have enjoyed them all. You have enspired me to make almost all of my back packing gear. Half of the fun is going out and seeing how well my home made gear works. I'll have to send you some pics some time. Jim Nichols/Two Feathers
James Nichols Sounds awesome James! I love hearing anytime a friend gets into their own gear making. Thats honestly half the fun. Take care and Thanks for watching
Hi! Loved the video and shelter as always! Great idea for the table/set! I have to agree with getting out from in-front of the tv. Wasting time, is wasting life!
Hi brother .... you have done it again .... something brand new ...... the table!! What a neat idea ....one I am definitely going to use ...... just need an old chair to take to bits hahaha ....... take care .... Jim in sunny Scotland
+Jim T Im glad you liked it Jim! Plenty of old chairs out there to use. I find them tossed out a lot in the parks and woods. Take care and Thanks for watching Jim.
Murray and Michelle McGinn Thanks! Im glad yall liked it. I had heard the Basha thing before but it just hit me when doing this video that it wasnt mentioned too often.
Hey brother i always enjoy your videos and your "blabing" is a big part of that. Great ideas as usual and i agree with your sentient, if you wait for life to happen you will miss it... lol It is my soul time when i go out to the woods and i got far to little of that last year (no free time). All the best my friend! Rob
Thanks for your videos. Being a Southern boy, I enjoy your voice and humor. You are right about not spending to much time watching TV. It is deer season here in Tennessee and I am trying to combine a little bushcraft with my hunting. Keep up the good work. I know life can throw a lot of work and family obligations at you, but make time for getting out in the woods and have some fun. By the way, tell Nick we miss him.
james green Im happy to film and upload videos James. Thats cool you live in Tennessee. My brother and sister were born in Murfreesboro back in the middle 60s. Yep, not much good can come from living in front of a TV. Nick says Hi and I say Thanks for watching brother.
Great shelter, I'll have to get out to the woods when it warms up a little, gets a little chilly in Minnesota this time of year. Like the gear too and have to agree on the head gear. God Bless, Scott
Yet another par excellence. You have me stumped on a couple of occasions on this vid. The first time when talking about what conversion you done to the machete ( I thought you were gonna replace the belt eyelet ? BUT NO !. You came up with an ingenious way of solving the problem by inventing the EXTENSION no less, WITH awesome ! improvements ! On the second occasion was with the chair material. Again I was thinking that the bungee cord would surely not sup[port this between trees, THEN AGAIN ! you took the wind out of my sails by using it as a table as well as a seat with cordage used. I don't like commenting on everything you do because among the thousands of previous comments, I am certain someone else has mentioned the same things, but felt I had to at least compliment your Brilliance. You are a shining example and inspiration not just to bushcrafting people, but but to any young people that watch your vids. Simply the best brother, I can't speak more highly of you. Peace out bro. Ty as always. PS Please don't feel you need to rep[ly to my comments, after all, I'm not making any sensible suggestions lol. ;)
Reallybigmonkey1 I don't know how to msg you so I guess I'll put my question on here... I'm new to TH-cam and wanting to post my own videos. What software or programs do you use to edit your videos?
alindastar I'm ok with it, I can sew stuff that holds but it wont win no beauty contest, lol. I'm glad you liked the pointers, Thanks for watching my friend.
Reallybigmonkey1 The stigmatism associated with so called women’s chores is a barrier therefore it takes men like you to open other men’s eyes. So don’t worry about winning a blue ribbon at the county fair for your sewing skills just keep inspiring us to think outside the box.
"It works for me..." Excellent point. The fun is in trying different things and discovering the best for YOU. Also, getting away from the stupid TV is key. As always, another great video!
13ECHO20 How very true my friend! We cant all do things the same way but its great to put your own ideas out there. Theres lots of things that work for me that others would never do. TV is quite horrible now. Almost every survival show on TV shocks me at what they show people doing. Im glad you liked the vid, Thanks for watching my friend
Glad to see you back out and about, especially with a bit of good old DPM. In case anyone else hasn't mentioned it already (I haven't read though all the comments) the BASHA is designed so you can fold it in half and use it as a stretcher. Really useful things.
furb411 Always good to be out and about again. I love DPM, I even have an old DPM field jacket with a liner that I love. I forgot the Basha was also made into a stretcher. Im guessing that configuration also makes one heck of a bed. Ill have to set it up that way and try it one day. Thanks f or watching.
Another great shelter video! Thanks Dave! For my first camping trip, I'm probably going to stay in a tent. I get used to being in the woods a bit, I'm gonna try one of your shelters.
David Fiorini Thanks David ! Im glad you liked it. Good idea on the tent. I think its always a good idea to start out in a tent. Its way better to get used to the sounds of the night in a tent. Being in a improvised shelter kinda freaks you out when you hears leaves crumpling and sounds in the woods. Have fun out there and Thanks for watching.
Im 17 and I am looking foward to testing all these ideas and processes out once I get my own place and have the opportunity. I just love the idea of bushcraft and such and I really need to find friends that dont just wanna sit on their asses and play video games all day lol. Thanks for the awesome videos and helpful advuce man!
Jake Nash Sounds awesome Jake! Thats the kinda stuff I love to hear. Videos games aint real, real life outdoors is as real as it gets and nothing is more fun. Good luck in all you do and Thanks for watching my friend.
Hey Dave! That chair seat thing is brilliant! Will have to take a look around. I'm sure that either I or a family member has an old cruddy chair around that I can salvage. Thanks for another great video!
Issac Newton Thanks Brother! Im glad you liked it. As far as Im concerned, nothing made of metal or cloth is considered trash. It can always be used for something. Take care and Thanks for watching.
GREAT video brother!! And yes.. I have been getting out there. Enjoying it too. Uploading videos whenever I can. Thanks for the video.. hope you're having a nice holiday.
Eat Carbs Thanks Bro! Im glad you liked it. Ive checked out a few of your vids, I need to get back over there and watch em all. So far so good, I hope your Holidays are happy too. Good hearing from you and take care.
the mi woodsman Thank you John, Im glad you liked it.I love that Warlock by itself but paired with the knife and ferro rod? Its an awesome piece of gear. Good hearing from you, Take care and Thanks for watching my friend.
the pleasure was all mine David ! have a Merry Christmas ,you and your family ! ps looks like you lose your camera man , miss seeing Nick in the vids ! atb john
Good to see you back again. I love your videos Don't let anyone tell you that your not good. Your attitude rules. Your actually doing something and trying to share your knowledge with others. Your doing an outstanding job. I always love your outlook and great ideas!
What do you mean get out there while your still young you whipper snapper! I am a 62 year old woman and I am still learning new stuff! I love your videos! Keep em coming.
Leslie Hunt Ok Ok Leslie, calm down. LOL. I know you can camp at all ages, thats a given. I meant dont waste your life in front of a TV. The old guys I used to camp with camped into their 70s and they always out hiked us younger guys and never got winded. They sed to get so mad at us for taking breaks every hour, lol. Im glad you like the videos, stay tuned, keep camping and Thanks for watching Leslie.
Great video! Love the mods on the machete and that shelter looks like it would work great in a pinch. Love all your vids I have to say you always make me laugh and smile when I watch. Thanks for putting them out there for all to enjoy.
SouthPaw Bushcraft Thanks Dawn, I'm glad you liked it. I pretty much mod or make everything, thats half the fun. Thats always good to hear that all my vids are liked, Take care my friend.
Another god video Dave and I will try this one to I like the simpleness of it and thanks again brother till the next one all th way from the Netherlands I say you are a great guy and bless you
Oh my goodness... you are so fun to watch. I enjoyed this and it was a great video. I am always looking at different methods of shelter building. I wanna make sure that I am efficient in getting a shelter up since it is the most important thing to think of first in a survival situation. Great video. Thank you.
Belle 1001 Thanks, I'm glad you liked it Belle. Me being more of a Bushcrafter I know and use lots of shelters but in survival, its great to pick out one or two shelter styles and practice making em and learn to make em fast and well built. This is a great one for a comfy nights sleep and the gear involved has so many other uses. Give it a try and good luck my friend
You’re only second too Dave Cantaberry as far as my favorite you tubers. But on the level of raw an truthful charector selection. Man Dave. You’ve got em all beat hands down for sure. You’re the most real most honest and most entertaining TH-camr on this platform. I wish they would pay you a real salary so u could just make videos for a living. God loves you my man. He loves us all but I can see how much He loves you just by how you hold yourself and how you speak truthfully and the innocent goofiness that you possesss could only be a true gift from God. So stay blessed Pearson and I pray the family is well and errrr ting is stable at home for ya guys
Thank you my friend!
What a wonderful gift to find another video from you to inform, entertain and lift the spirits. I cannot say thank you enough for your AMAZING videos.
Erin Owl Im glad you liked it. Thanks for watching Erin!
Great stuff my brother! Always amazes me how you pack so much useful information into your videos while keeping them fun to watch the whole time :) All the best! -John
IntenseAngler Thanks Brother John ! Im glad you liked it. Long time no see man, good hearing from you. You know me, I have to pack em full to make em fit to watch. LOL. Take care now.
Greg Letter I use a Petzl but Ill look into that Zebra. Thanks for watching Greg
Great to see you back out in the woods my friend. Thanks so much for taking the time to post.
***** Always good to be back out there brother and Im glad you liked it. Thanks for watching.
I really do appreciate your videos. I used to hunt and camp and fish and lots of times just camp. In other words I love the outdoors. But about 6 years ago I became disabled and had to retire so these videos are of great entertainment to me. Please keep them coming.
Randy Musick Thank you Randy, Im glad you like the videos and they can bring a little of the outdoors to you. I know its tough not being able to get out there any more. Lots more videos in the works, Thanks for watching my friend.
Great content. This stuff never gets old, especially for people who never tried it before. Love the condor machete sheath. You are fun to watch.
Thanks Pamela! I'm glad you liked it all!
love when my account says you made a video..... long time subscriber..... love watching always learn from you.. have a great day... now that im divorced gonna start going out and camping.
discgolfer78 Cool, Im glad you liked it and its always good to hear when a friend learns from me. Get out there and make some vids. Its the most fun you can have in the woods.
AMEN.GOT 2 GET OUR BUTTS IN THE WOODS AND PRACTICE EVERYTHING YALL TEACHES
I'm never bored watching you, I have fun, I would give my eye teeth for a man like you! Your right life should be fun!
Fantastic to hear that! It's all about fun with me!
Another great video! I really enjoyed it. You are one very creative and wise person! God Bless & thanks for sharing 😃
While I think you make some of the most informative outdoor videos, it is your engaging personality I enjoy the most. I feel like I am in the woods with you and we are talking...and your laugh is my favorite!!!

Reallybigmonkey1 What I like most about your videos is that you always seem to be really having fun & we get to come along for the ride.
Diana Hammond Im always my happiest in the woods. Day to day life stinks. LOL.
Great video David. Drab green is so your color. Like seeing the recycling of the folding chair. I now have and idea to do with one of. Peace and till the next one, take care.

Mark T How true! I showed a few elements from all around the globe. Take care and Thanks for watching my friend.
The man of a million designs! Great video.
+RowdyRoddy LOL, I do have a few. Thanks for watching Brother!
David, you are a breath of fresh air. You are a great stress reliever and guide through my outdoor planning. Thanks my friend.
D Myers Thanks! Im glad you liked it and its always good to hear my videos are that enjoyable. Take care my friend.

He's back and in OD Green! :) Great to see you, David. I always enjoy the shelters. Nice Billy can set up. Those folding cups are cool. I can see why you like that last hood. Good cover all around. Great mod on the Warlock sheath! Excellent video! A+++

Folks, check your settings. If you dont have a reply button under your comment I cant answer it.
"Merry X-mas!" and another B-day for me in 4 days....ugh! :/
+Reallybigmonkey1 Another fun and entertaining video, I'm slowly picking through your entire selection :) Just out of curiosity, what pack are you using here? Ty Sir.
Your comment "This being elastic, is fantastic" @ 42:35 is hilarious! Another good one my friend. Thanks for sharing more of your outdoor experience with us.
Thanks Scott, I'm always full of good commentary. LOL. I'm glad you liked it and I'm always happy to share.
Thanks for watching
Nice, nice David, thank you for some good ideas! All the best my friend!
Waldhandwerk Thanks! Im glad you liked it Sepp. Always good to hear from you, Thanks for stopping by my good friend.
You are one of the best. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and passing it on to the next generations. You really should write this stuff down and preserve the knowledge.
Thank you David! I probably do need to write the stuff down. TH-cam may not be around forever
To start off, I love your videos. I always learn cool tips and trick each episode. Secondly, I know you're not into all of the crazy ways of doing stuff but I recently saw a video on a cool fire starter you could try out. You just cut a gum wrapper a certain way and place each side on opposite ends of a AA battery. I know I sounds kinda confusing but I saw it on Grant thomsons youtube page. It should be the firsts video
I sure do like these videos. I have been camping for 60 years but you are full of good things to use. Thank you.
david phillips Thanks David, I'm glad you like the vids and its always good to hear that an experienced camper can learn some from me. Take care now brother
Thanks Man, British Army gear has been overlooked here in the states for what ever reason but I think they get it right more than we here in the U.S. give them credit for . If you look at the surplus gear on the market you can find great items that will work well with the woodlands we live in here in the eastern U.S. But hey Great vid, glad to see you thriving Bro. I think I just came up with a TH-cam name ,what do you think Woodland Millwright. Rock on . Dale
Dale Wilson Man your right, almost all the British surplus military gear Ive tried has been tough as nails, I love it. Its just kinda hard to get here. That's a very cool name! Even cooler since my Dad is a retired Millwright. Im glad you liked the vid, Thanks for watching Dale.
HI DAVID,I HAVE WATCHED ALL YOUR VIDEOS AND ENJOY THEM A GREAT DEAL.THANK YOU FOR YOUR INSIGHT AND ALL I HAVE LEARNED FROM YOU,YOU'RE THE BEST! HAVE A GREAT HOLIDAY SEASON,TER FROM FLORIDA
Terry Loomis Thanks! Im glad you liked it Terry. Greeting and Happy Holidays to you too from Georgia!
Dave ,you are a good teacher .I enjoy your vidios Thanks
+Mike Townsend Thank you Mike, And Thanks for watching Brother.
Thanks Dave - always good to hear and learn from you. I like your sense of humility and resourcefulness!
kk5sc Always good to be back on here with friends, Im glad you liked it.
Brother, I can't tell you enough how enjoyable your videos are. Not only can I tell how much fun you're having out in the woods, but your laid back sense of humour makes the videos that much more enjoyable. I learn so much from your videos that its like a Christmas present each new video you make. My favourite so far has to be the fireplace in the tarp using the welding blanket, and heat reflector. I was doubtful when I saw it, to be honest, but holy moly when I tried it out, I was shittin grins. Man it really works, and where I'm up in Nova Scotia, Canada, having heat in a shelter makes things so much more comfortable. I like to talk too man so you keep the videos coming, as they are some of the best on youtube regarding these topics. Take care of yourself and be well.
Another Great Video. I enjoy learning new things from your videos, Cool shelter.
***** Thanks! Im glad you liked it and thanks for watching Marlon. Always good to hear from you.
As always, very cool shelter and gear. No matter what we do or explain, it always takes longer than we expect or plan, besides you have fun doing it. Thanks for showing and doing the video. Take care and Happy New Year!
Ollie Berry Thanks! Im glad you liked it Ollie. How true, usually I only film half what Ive planned due to it taking so long to show. I guess thats why my planned videos are so piled up now. Happy New year to you too my friend!
I have to say, your videos make my days. They really do, and I must thank you for that. Keep going.
***** Thats always good to hear Gustav! Im glad you like them that much.
Always a pleasure watching your great videos. Many thanks. Just so you know I watched this on my iPad, in my shed while running on a treadmill in North Wales. Your videos go far and wide :)
Sim Deck Always good to hear you liked it Sim. Thats awesome to hear how you watched it! I never in a million years would have thought that I could make it all the way round the world to be watched in North Wales. That just goes to show how amazing youtube is on a world wide base. Take care and Thanks for watching my friend.
love the chair/ table. I always learn something from you. thank you
Barbara W Thanks Barbara! Always good to hear that, and Im glad you liked it.
brother, you don't know how many of those fold up chairs I have thrown out. I've always looked at them thinking what could I use this broken chair for. amazes me what other people can come up with for ideas. great video David.
yoopersurvival No need to ever throw one out again! LOL. Lots of uses for everything if you sit and think about it long enough. Dont look at a broken object, look at what the separate parts can be made into. Im glad you liked it, Thanks for watching my friend.
Reallybigmonkey1 It's the curse of the creative mind... hoarding. LOL! You should see my place. I have to move with certain finesse just to walk through the house.
It's good to hear that you have fun making these videos. Because I sure have lots of fun watching them! You are easily one of my favorite people on TH-cam. And that's because you are real, with flaws as well as strong points. And a whole lot of humor!
So enjoy yourself and we will all enjoy your vids. Take care, jochen
Apfelmann Thanks Jochen ! Im glad you liked it and what I do. I feel like I gotta be as real as possible in case others want to do the things I do. I dont like folks being surprised, LOL. Take care and Thanks for watching.
Just got through some major personal hassles with stuff that turned out alright but I'm done. But, watching your videos gives me something that tunes me back up again. Thank you dear crazy man of the woods, I cant wait to tinker in my own backyard. Might even drag out my sewing machine too
Sorry to hear about the hassles but very happy to hear you got through them! I feel like every where we go nowadays we get bombarded with negativity, drama and peoples opinions on everything. I try and keep everything up beat, fun and carefree. Get out and play or stay in and sew some camping gear!
You don't talk to much I like the way you present things and the fact that you don't make 10 different 7 minute videos you roll a lot of info into one video. Thanks for it...
jwarrick3 Good because I love talking! LOL. I used to hate it when I got into watching a video then it was over too quick, thats one of the reasons I pack it all into one vid. Kinda like a free show. Thanks for watching my friend.
David, I am never disappointed with one of your ''AIN'T THAT NEAT VIDEOS'' And this one is no exception. AWESOME!! I love what you did with the the old camp chair and that shelter is pretty cool too...
Glen Neller Thanks Glen! Im glad you liked it. The best part of that camp chair is, it was free!
gone back and found some that I have not watched. Always enjoy your vids Dave, humour, creativity and yes of course the talking. Keep up the good work and keep explaining all the great things you do.
Thanks! Man thats one bad thing about TH-cam. A person can have different one of a kind videos for 5 or 6 years and often they dont get seen. I hate refilming a subject so I LOVE hearing when someone looks back to the older ones!
Dave, you are an inspiration. I have yet to watch the whole video due to time constraints but I will finish it as soon as things slow down a bit. Christmas can be a crazy time. Thanks for everything and have a merry Christmas. Looking forward to the next video!
Blacklock Always good to hear that. I love to inspire folks to get out and do things outdoors and enjoy life. I hope you had a very Merry Christmas too brother.
This looks like a good shelter for the bigger guys. I also like that basha tarp. Thanks for all of your great ideas and knowledge that you pass along.
jchiliw Oh yes, this one can be made for any size no matter how big. The bigger the tree, the wider the bed will be. That Basha tarp is one tough piece of gear. Take care and Thanks for watching my friend.
As always Dave great video, pretty much makes my night when I see you've but a new one up. Thanks for taking us along. -Andy
***** Thanks Andy, Im always happy to take my friends along and Im glad you liked it.
Hey, Dave! So glad to see you making videos again! Just wanted to say thanks. For the videos, the inspiration and the knowledge!
subgraf Im always happy to make videos when I can, Im glad you liked it my friend.
What a great morning watching and learning some special things to place in my camping pack from your Utube Videos !! You, my friend have a "Special Calling" ............ To spread Enthusiasm and Man's Imagination for the Great outdoors !! You indeed spread this love of outdoors to both young and old alike !
I just sure wish I could buy some of the simple metal pieces to place pots on a fire with ! Great ideas !
Jack Taylor Thank you Jack, Im happy you are enjoying the videos so much. I like to teach a little, entertain a little but hopefully motivate a lot to get outdoors and have a little fun. Thanks for watching my friend.
another gooder....really liked that billy can!
Tony should be happy seein his shelter come into being...thanks for posting amigo...woods
MTwoodsrunner Thanks! Im glad you liked it brother. Tony loved this set up. I was happy to post it.
Great video. Always enjoy watching your videos, I learn something ever time. Thanks for taking the time to shoot videos. Ronnie, Texas.
RDM1978 Thanks Ronnie! Im glad you liked it. I love making these vids when I can
yep still going back and watching the older videos almost healed up from all the cancer removal surgery. I fingers when M healed up enough to go play in the woods it will be cold and snowy , Hay Dave have a great and Mary Christmas
I'm glad you're still enjoying the videos. Get all healed up as soon as possible and a Merry Christmas to you too John!
Thanks for all the great Ideas David, Your videos are great. Keep up the good work and take care.
Knot Shore Thank you, Im glad you like them. More in the works, stay tuned and take care my friend.
As always David, you are a wealth of info. Every video I pick up some really cool ideas. Very well done.
P Sills Always good to hear that, I try to pack the videos as full as possible. Thanks for watching my friend.
Thanks for this Video. I feel comforted knowing I now know how to build your Tony Bushcraft cozy sleeping place ❤😀
You're very welcome and I'm happy you liked it!
good ol Tony great guy,it looks great,have a super weekend my friend
Good to see another great video. Thanks for posting it, take care.
Hey there dave!!
I would like to thank you for your amazing videos. I can imagine how much time and dedication you spent on them, and also the fun you have by doing it. Keep the good work on 2015, happy new year!
Greetings from a brazilian southern!!
Ze Thiago Thank you my friend! Yes, they do take a lot of time and effort to make the vids. Half the time I dont even like how they turn out. LOL. More on the way for 2015. Happy New Year to you from Georgia in the USA!
Can't thank y'all enough for all your videos. I have watched most and have enjoyed them all. You have enspired me to make almost all of my back packing gear. Half of the fun is going out and seeing how well my home made gear works. I'll have to send you some pics some time.
Jim Nichols/Two Feathers
James Nichols Sounds awesome James! I love hearing anytime a friend gets into their own gear making. Thats honestly half the fun. Take care and Thanks for watching
Hi! Loved the video and shelter as always! Great idea for the table/set!
I have to agree with getting out from in-front of the tv. Wasting time, is wasting life!
Zepply Ledson Thanks! Im glad you liked it Zep. TV is fine but not a life in front of it.
good night man, and you talk just the right amount. its more like hanging out with a friend thats talking about what we are doing
Matt Schaefer I talk to the ole camera just like Im talking to all my youtube friends. Like yall are there with me. Thanks for watching Matt.
Great having you back. And its always nice to see new shelter ideas, ill have to post some of mine real soon.. Thx
Kraka069 Thanks! Im glad you liked it and its always good to be back on here. Post them vids as soon as you can, its the most fun youll ever have!
Thx for the vid Dave I really do enjoy all your vids please make more. I seem to always learn something from them as well as get entertained.
phelps4824 Always good to hear when a friend learns some from me. More videos in the works. Take care and Thanks for watching.
Hi brother .... you have done it again .... something brand new ...... the table!! What a neat idea ....one I am definitely going to use ...... just need an old chair to take to bits hahaha ....... take care .... Jim in sunny Scotland
+Jim T Im glad you liked it Jim! Plenty of old chairs out there to use. I find them tossed out a lot in the parks and woods. Take care and Thanks for watching Jim.
Love the "BASHA" explanation. Good job on the video and explanations. Good job!
Murray and Michelle McGinn Thanks! Im glad yall liked it. I had heard the Basha thing before but it just hit me when doing this video that it wasnt mentioned too often.
Hey brother i always enjoy your videos and your "blabing" is a big part of that. Great ideas as usual and i agree with your sentient, if you wait for life to happen you will miss it... lol
It is my soul time when i go out to the woods and i got far to little of that last year (no free time).
All the best my friend!
Rob
Thanks Dave . As always your videos are a joy to watch and learn from. Cheers Mate
Hawkie67 Thanks for watching and Im glad you liked it Hawkie
Thanks for your videos. Being a Southern boy, I enjoy your voice and humor. You are right about not spending to much time watching TV. It is deer season here in Tennessee and I am trying to combine a little bushcraft with my hunting. Keep up the good work. I know life can throw a lot of work and family obligations at you, but make time for getting out in the woods and have some fun. By the way, tell Nick we miss him.
james green Im happy to film and upload videos James. Thats cool you live in Tennessee. My brother and sister were born in Murfreesboro back in the middle 60s. Yep, not much good can come from living in front of a TV. Nick says Hi and I say Thanks for watching brother.
Great shelter, I'll have to get out to the woods when it warms up a little, gets a little chilly in Minnesota this time of year. Like the gear too and have to agree on the head gear. God Bless, Scott
fatmantolly Thanks! Im glad you liked it. Get out in the woods anytime you can. I bet its double cold up in Minnesota as compared to Georgia.
Yet another par excellence. You have me stumped on a couple of occasions on this vid. The first time when talking about what conversion you done to the machete ( I thought you were gonna replace the belt eyelet ? BUT NO !. You came up with an ingenious way of solving the problem by inventing the EXTENSION no less, WITH awesome ! improvements ! On the second occasion was with the chair material. Again I was thinking that the bungee cord would surely not sup[port this between trees, THEN AGAIN ! you took the wind out of my sails by using it as a table as well as a seat with cordage used. I don't like commenting on everything you do because among the thousands of previous comments, I am certain someone else has mentioned the same things, but felt I had to at least compliment your Brilliance. You are a shining example and inspiration not just to bushcrafting people, but but to any young people that watch your vids. Simply the best brother, I can't speak more highly of you. Peace out bro. Ty as always. PS Please don't feel you need to rep[ly to my comments, after all, I'm not making any sensible suggestions lol. ;)
I gotta reply to this one, Thank you Tony!
thank you always for your time and knowledge.time does go fast .Bryan from England
Thanks Bryan, I'm glad you liked it and I'm always happy to share.
Another great video, David. I like the sheath mod for the machete. You are a man of many talents! Keep up the good work!
Thomas Leary Thanks! Im glad you liked it Thomas. I love that sheath 100 times better now.
Great video. I'm so glad you are back to posting them.
Michael Travis Thanks! Im glad you liked it Travis. Im always happy to be back on here
Love how you always have fun with your videos. Glad to see you're back, that shelter is legit man. Keep 'em comin!
HoosierWoodcraft Thanks Brother! Im glad you liked it. I try and always have fun with the vids. More on the way.
Reallybigmonkey1 I don't know how to msg you so I guess I'll put my question on here... I'm new to TH-cam and wanting to post my own videos. What software or programs do you use to edit your videos?
You are really getting good on that sewing machine. Loved all the pointers and I am glad to see you do have fun in the woods making us videos.
alindastar I'm ok with it, I can sew stuff that holds but it wont win no beauty contest, lol. I'm glad you liked the pointers, Thanks for watching my friend.
Reallybigmonkey1
The stigmatism associated with so called women’s chores is a barrier therefore it takes men like you to open other men’s eyes. So don’t worry about winning a blue ribbon at the county fair for your sewing skills just keep inspiring us to think outside the box.
Serious multi-use equipment you got there, great shelter, info and gear. thanks for the video
Hansl Lavenburg Thanks! I'm glad you liked it Hansl. Theres nothing a tarp, rope and wool blanket cant do.
This was an excellent video! I especially liked the seat/table idea! Thank you for sharing! Blessings.
Survivalkraft Thanks Brother! The seat/table idea can be expanded much larger for a gear catch too. Thanks for watching my friend.
Hi David
I really enjoy your videos I've learnt a lot from watching you, glad to see you're back, best wishes from a very cold England
luckyeddie Always good to hear that and Im glad you liked it. Greetings back at ya from a slightly warm Georgia in the USA.
"It works for me..." Excellent point. The fun is in trying different things and discovering the best for YOU. Also, getting away from the stupid TV is key.
As always, another great video!
13ECHO20 How very true my friend! We cant all do things the same way but its great to put your own ideas out there. Theres lots of things that work for me that others would never do. TV is quite horrible now. Almost every survival show on TV shocks me at what they show people doing. Im glad you liked the vid, Thanks for watching my friend
Glad to see you back out and about, especially with a bit of good old DPM. In case anyone else hasn't mentioned it already (I haven't read though all the comments) the BASHA is designed so you can fold it in half and use it as a stretcher. Really useful things.
furb411 Always good to be out and about again. I love DPM, I even have an old DPM field jacket with a liner that I love. I forgot the Basha was also made into a stretcher. Im guessing that configuration also makes one heck of a bed. Ill have to set it up that way and try it one day. Thanks f or watching.
I Love your energy, Always like seeing new ideas!
Thanks, I'm happy you like the way I do things. I have lots of new stuff to show! Thanks for watching
Another great shelter video! Thanks Dave! For my first camping trip, I'm probably going to stay in a tent. I get used to being in the woods a bit, I'm gonna try one of your shelters.
David Fiorini Thanks David ! Im glad you liked it. Good idea on the tent. I think its always a good idea to start out in a tent. Its way better to get used to the sounds of the night in a tent. Being in a improvised shelter kinda freaks you out when you hears leaves crumpling and sounds in the woods. Have fun out there and Thanks for watching.
Im 17 and I am looking foward to testing all these ideas and processes out once I get my own place and have the opportunity. I just love the idea of bushcraft and such and I really need to find friends that dont just wanna sit on their asses and play video games all day lol. Thanks for the awesome videos and helpful advuce man!
Jake Nash Sounds awesome Jake! Thats the kinda stuff I love to hear. Videos games aint real, real life outdoors is as real as it gets and nothing is more fun. Good luck in all you do and Thanks for watching my friend.
Always happy to see a new video from you,great stuff and keep on keepin' on.
willynthepoorboys2 Always good to be on here, Thanks for watching my friend.
Hey Dave! That chair seat thing is brilliant! Will have to take a look around. I'm sure that either I or a family member has an old cruddy chair around that I can salvage. Thanks for another great video!
Issac Newton Thanks Brother! Im glad you liked it. As far as Im concerned, nothing made of metal or cloth is considered trash. It can always be used for something. Take care and Thanks for watching.
Another awesome video David. Repurpose that seat from the chair great idea. Thanks for taking us in the woods again. olllllllo
GREAT video brother!!
And yes.. I have been getting out there. Enjoying it too. Uploading videos whenever I can.
Thanks for the video.. hope you're having a nice holiday.
Eat Carbs Thanks Bro! Im glad you liked it. Ive checked out a few of your vids, I need to get back over there and watch em all. So far so good, I hope your Holidays are happy too. Good hearing from you and take care.
Where has this channel been all my life ? Your definitely one of the funnier "survival you tubers "

have a Merry Christmas ,you and your family !
ps looks like you lose your camera man , miss seeing Nick in the vids !
atb john
Good to see you back again. I love your videos Don't let anyone tell you that your not good. Your attitude rules. Your actually doing something and trying to share your knowledge with others. Your doing an outstanding job. I always love your outlook and great ideas!
nice shelter, interesting way of doing it. I liked the additional bit talking about your kit. nice mod to the sheath as well i like my danglers too.
Tinky Pete Thanks! Im glad you liked it.I love talking, LOL. I like that sheath a hundred times better now. Thanks for watching my friend.
It's always a treat to see a new video from you and you having fun makes me grin watching too- Happy New Years Dave, keep up the great videos!
shilodawn60 Thanks! Im glad you liked it. Happy New year to you too!
Love it love it love it thanks for all the great information I just love your videos
cassandra Robinson Cool ! Im glad you liked it so much Cassandra. Thanks for watching my friend.
What do you mean get out there while your still young you whipper snapper! I am a 62 year old woman and I am still learning new stuff! I love your videos! Keep em coming.
Leslie Hunt Ok Ok Leslie, calm down. LOL. I know you can camp at all ages, thats a given. I meant dont waste your life in front of a TV. The old guys I used to camp with camped into their 70s and they always out hiked us younger guys and never got winded. They sed to get so mad at us for taking breaks every hour, lol. Im glad you like the videos, stay tuned, keep camping and Thanks for watching Leslie.
Great video! Love the mods on the machete and that shelter looks like it would work great in a pinch. Love all your vids I have to say you always make me laugh and smile when I watch. Thanks for putting them out there for all to enjoy.
SouthPaw Bushcraft Thanks Dawn, I'm glad you liked it. I pretty much mod or make everything, thats half the fun. Thats always good to hear that all my vids are liked, Take care my friend.
Another classic video from your collection, plus you used DPM, which I love. You made a Brit proud, thanks Dave.
Thanks Mike! Brother I love DPM too! I wished I had more of it
Another god video Dave and I will try this one to I like the simpleness of it and thanks again brother till the next one all th way from the Netherlands I say you are a great guy and bless you
I'm glad you liked it. Thanks for watching Brother Mike!
I always like your videos, Dave. Great job. Peace!!!
Thank you Michael! I'm glad you like them my friend
Oh my goodness... you are so fun to watch. I enjoyed this and it was a great video. I am always looking at different methods of shelter building. I wanna make sure that I am efficient in getting a shelter up since it is the most important thing to think of first in a survival situation. Great video. Thank you.
Belle 1001 Thanks, I'm glad you liked it Belle. Me being more of a Bushcrafter I know and use lots of shelters but in survival, its great to pick out one or two shelter styles and practice making em and learn to make em fast and well built. This is a great one for a comfy nights sleep and the gear involved has so many other uses. Give it a try and good luck my friend
Dang! Love the shelter and so happy to see you in a new video!
Aminarose Ayeam Thanks! Im glad you liked it, Always good to be back
Dude you're hilarious and very entertaining! Love the informational stuff. thanks a million.
Navan Johnson Thanks! Im glad you liked it. Oh, I LOVED that movie The Jerk when it came out. I was just a kid then!
