I dearly love these videos. I try to pass this knowledge on to anybody that will listen and wants to learn. Our bow season starts here in a couple of weeks, and we are allowed to camp anywhere on the forest land during bow season only. The rest of the time you have to stay in designated camp grounds. I plan to take my equipment and the knowledge I have gained from you and others to the woods for a few days and just walk, hunt and camp where ever I am at the end of the day. I am really looking forward to this.. Thanks.
Loved the video - I used it to begin building my first bugout bag several years ago. One comment that I would add is to not wait until you have bought the perfect knife or blanket.. to get started building your bugout bag. Start now with what you have in your house and then add too it or upgrade what you have already in it on a regular basis. This allows you to have something right away which increases your chances of surviving over when you had nothing and then it continues to increase your survivability as you add or upgrade items. Start with the 5 Cs and then add additional things such as some water, food, first aid kit, etc.
No matter what I just got to much stuff. And back pack to small . Still trying to figure out what's the best for me. Good video nice job keep up the good work. From Glenn CATT in Massachusetts.
Dave. I am thinking it would be cool if you did vids on how the eastern Indians lived. They lived long term permanently in the wilderness. Though they had groups and large groups and societies trade etc but the skills are cool.
Dave from what I have re-learned from you and Chris Taner. Will Myers, Justin Wolfe, Mike (bushcraftbarton) plus everyone who teaches this stuff I am going to do a class for our Community in our Library on the Self Relianceability this Fall. Passing on the knowledge thanks again.
Thank you so much for this video! I'm starting to get into survival and building myself a bug out/backpacking bag and I heard about the 5c's but never really did too much with it, so now I'm really understanding it all!

thanks again and glad your still out there after all the drama. If I may offer a suggestion on the bow drill... when using the divice... carve a notch around the spindle that incompasses the diameter of the spindle. This takes only a couple minutes to perform and will aid in keeping the cordage in the same location and prevent it from drifting up or down as you saw back and forth.. Maximizing your effort while sawing. Great vid.. Seems the 18th Century mentality is more to your liking. Hang tough and watch your 6!
This was great, I have been researching "zombie survival guid" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you ever come across - Ryanzon Survival Genie - (just google it ) ? Ive heard some amazing things about it and my mate got great success with it.
Kristyanna Virgona Funny, one could take that statement two ways if one hadn't already read your other post. I had to check it twice myself. No worries.
Really disappointed in John McCann & SurvivalResources - had a horrible experience with John McCann & will NEVER solicit his store & recommend others steer clear. I'm a long time fan & supporter of Mr. C & the Pathfinder store & have only good things to say about his store... J. McCann & Survival Resources sux - sad to see any affiliation with the Pathfinder company.
One of His best vids besides the countless helpfull practical vids.
Dave you been such a blessing to this old man....tumor won't let me go out in woods but love your program...prayers coming your way

If yoru sawing technique is smooth and parallel to the ground the string won't move up and down along the drill so no need to carve anything extra...

Less than 5 in.would be a European bushcraft knife .the government would like you to have a handle with no blade .
In America is called woodsmanship !
