[bmcdickermeat5]

long live deerdick

[TheBabykapz]

there is a 2 bladed hand axe at budk for 9$

[slowmotionist]

holy shit its Dave Canterbury the bad ass who sliced himself open and poured black powder in his wound and lit it on fire.. just to see what would happen.

[trigger2193]

Who makes that jacket

[angeloruggiero57]

thanks for the tip, i gonna jerk some young groundhog meat

[NarlepoaxIII]

lol, he's gonna jerk deer meat.

[MyHauntedExcursions]

@NarlepoaxIII lmao!

[chrisnelo]

check out the helle jaegermaster knife for a good hunting/skinning knife!!!!

[Cjtouzet]

Not to pick nits but I believe that is Duluth's "Wanderer" pack. The "Rambler" is slightly larger and features a zippered front pocket instead of the straps.

Thanks for all the great vids, information, and inspiration!

[1gamoguy]

Adirondacks are still the same way, plenty of water, streams and lakes, i live right in the foothills of the dacks and have spent every summer since i can remember there, i will have to look into this book, one thing i can say about the Adirondacks, it is very scerene and beautiful, but its very unforgiving and you need to know what your doing, or else is very VERY easy to get lost

[smartacus88]

@1gamoguy if there anything like the southern appalachian mountian's,they're treacherous!!!!...........i live in the foothill's of the blueridge myself

[1gamoguy]

@smartacus88 lol never been to the appalachians, but they are dense thick, swamps in some parts, mostly just thick moss cover that cant hold anymore water from natural springs, but still stink, timber rattlers,though their venom is not as toxic as other rattlers, bobcats, mountain lions, black bears, moose, and deer... pretty much everything someone could want that wants to live in gods country away from the suburbia more and more of the countryside is turning into

[kaldicuct]

I always wind up making thin strips. that fold really easy, then ill pack it in my cheek and chew kinda like how you thought chewing tobacco was as a kid.

[Dominicaislandmon]

Really enjoy your videos Dave, thanks. Suggestion on smoking jerky or hides is to make a tripod out of green willow or dogwood or cedar....nothing poison. Then tie sticks to each tripod and you can move it to the smoke, spread legs more or less for heat and have slender sharpend longer sticks to go across the tripod and shove them through the meat and let it hang down. Move the sticks full of hanging meat...up or down as needed. It works well because it is all adjustable and portable.

[99bugout]

Dave, You need to tool up on your wind direction before you build a fire. So it is not blowing where you sit or at your camera. Smoke is unburned fuel filled with carcinogens. (Cancer Causing Poison) Use Plastic Zip locks and shake and bake your seasoning in.

[pcjsleader]

If it takes a few hours to smoke and jerk your meat you need a new fantasy girl. Sry, couldnt resist.

[drive136devil]

thank you 4 all of your videos i learn alot from you

[jamescollins93]

a better way to cut it is you cut off meat chunks like big meat balls and unroll them as you cut them. it goes a lot farther in less time

[airsoftandhunting]

could you make jerky out of squirrel or rabbit

[4KawasakiRider4]

wow your the guy from dual survival. nice to know you like helping others on tv along with us youtubers :) great video dave!

[alkafx]

is there enough deer for me to live off of all year long? if thats the case, ill become The Deer Hunter

[bb9519]

good job

[tekknorat]

Isn't that too much of a seasoning? Wouldn't it be too salty/spicy which then will lead to great amont of water usage, cause You'll feel thirst? Other than that, it's awesome video, makes me hungry every time I watch it :)

[stricklandsahib]

I have only just discovered your videos and I think they are great. On the subject of Nessmuk you should read " Canoeing the Adirondacks with Nessmuk " this is a modern book that features Nessmuks articles for Field and Stream I think or possibly Forest and Stream. They give a far more rounded picture of Nessmuks activities in the wilderness where he was quite a hunter and pioneer of lightweight canoes.

[bosephusthebruce]

i'm sure u've found one by now but the Thunder Bay Double Bit Belt Hatchet by condor sounds like what ur looking for Dave

[Bobster986]

Meat tenderizers will rot your gut, NEVER USE IT!

[deeds1957]

Leatherman multi tools are really good.

[TheWaggaBloke]

dont cut ya trap Dave!!!

[j0ehellm0n]

yum now teach me how to make bacon in the wilderness and it would be GREAT!!!

[pimpboy58]

but some cartots and potatose and u got a meal

[myleghurts100]

when i did this i soaked the wood in wtaer for 2 or 3 hous then used them so they wouldnt burn

[tannerh22]

i have a question for dave or anyone who can answer it for me what kind of branches should be used when laying meat on them as a rack over the fire it looks like you are useing plum branches.......?  thanks Tanner

[YGTFsurvival]

Hazel is good it seems not to leave a taste

[zzbunch]

pine needles might give it a weird taste. Remember that the smoke goes into and permeates the meat. Thus youll taste the smoke and whatever is in it.

[iwasborninyourbutt]

You can hear cars in the background.

[PhillieBRidin]

could you youse pine needles i think those smoke alot?

[baarr0w]

great vid but i was wondering if anyone could send me a link to the book.. nessmuk woodcraft and camp.. im not sure what book is which thanks

[TheGods1marine]

can you just us heat and no smoke to make Jerky please answer?

[aerodynamicband]

if you want a double bladed camp axe hunt around for a smaller double bit head and put a shorter shaft on it. thanks for mentioning that to because there is an old double bit head in my grand mothers shed that hasn't been used in forever and heeds a new shaft

[bewarethegreyghost]

Have you tried Green River knives?

[haha48]

he did it like a tube so he could use it as a backpack as well since you stuff it and just tie the 2 ends closed thats what my greatgrandfather did in the bush

[clackclack2]

When smoking meat will it keep for a long time that way?

Dose the salt added to it work as a cure to cure the meat?

Should a person that is planing to keep the meat for a good lenth of time add cure to the rub as an added precotion?

[haha48]

cut it super thin and smoke it for a long time salt does help dry it out but basicly its just get it rock hard and it last almost for ever

[giutoniolo]

Great instructional vid. I´ll look for the book you mentioned. Thank you for post it sir!

[jangelo02]

I have 20 acres of land in the adirondecks, with a 12' wide creek running though it and a few smaller ones. I've stuck my face in that creek many many times and drank, and never got sick or even felt the littlest bit funny afterwards.

[icychap]

New York has giardia. I camp in the Adirondacks a couple times each year, and I always bring a Katadyn to filter our water.

I'm heading into the Adirondack Mountains in a couple weeks - any suggestions where to go?

[jangelo02]

forestport, 20 mins north of utica. thats where my land is, lots of woods everywhere, not many people to bother you

[GeneEls]

Regarding the Double Headed Ax mentioned at 10:10.

Lee Valley Tools of Canada sells Iltis Oxhead Axes (and one that is Double-Bit).

On the Lee Valley Tools Website - Under Woodworking ---> Log Building - you should be able to access information regarding Iltis Oxhead Axes

[spiderpig85]

Lee Valley is some of the best stuff you can buy, but it gets pricey...

[RockyGully]

Thanks for that; I've got a semi custom hatchet which is a little heavy to carry about.

[RockyGully]

What is the weight of the Wetterlings Hunters axe;anyone know?

[kardemummifierad]

According to their website, the weight of the Hunting axes (both 50cm and 40cm versions) are 0.7kg (1.5 pounds).

[RockyGully]

Another great vid Dave,thanks.I have just read Nessmuk's book and a good read it is.You are right in saying that it slightly different to emulate his style of bushcraft particularly with water treatment.Another man whose bush skill i admire is Colonel Townsend Whelen.Similar minamilist approach to his kit.Keep up the good work!

[biguy525]

Dave, in reference to the double bladed axe, the NRA store has one that is $29.99. Wooden handle and 440 stainless steel. Might be worth a look.

[Bullneck70]

love that shirt,where did you get it from

[grappler321]

If u google (The $10 Jerky Maker) theres good plans for doing it at home with a bulb and a box.Means u can go out and carry on with ure day.Worth doing as all commercial Jerky is actual cooked b4 drying.Which takes away from its nutritional value.Plus they add fake smoke taste.Which is nasty.

Again Gr8 vid

[grappler321]

Any chance of u showing how to make Pemmican ?? Please.

[OutdoorsLiving]

American Tomahawk makes a Nessmuk tac axe that looks sweet. one edge for chopping the other for light work. It weighs in at 18 oz out of sheath, although not traditional materials it looks like it could take a beating and its US made, which I like.

[mazadan]

i do believe that Nessmuk mentioned that he used a butchers knife for his own knife. the only tools i take out with me with the addition of the bacho saw

[ShawnCFarm]

I have a two headed axe. I'd tell you who makes it if I can ever find it in my shop. When I was a kid I used to see them throw them on tv. Its old and is a realy good choping axe.

[sonofthegray]

Hey Dave,

Try the, Russell Green River Buffalo Skinner. Very traditional, good knife 1095 carbon steel. My blade has been passed down from my Great Grandmother

[TheMudhole9]

No sodium nitrate?lol ...........man that stuff looks GOOD! wtg

[lzwillis]

If you got the money, for a good double bladed hunting knife, I would go for a Case Folding Hunter. They are little more expensive, but have a lifetime warranty, and in my opinion, you just can't beat a Case.

[OutdoorsLiving]

Dave you should check out mlknives, Mike makes a pretty good repro of Nessmuk's knife outta 1095 carbon at a dang good price. Thanks for the jerky info, I've never tried to make it outdoors before.

[OutdoorsLiving]

Matt sorry not Mike.

[hrwulf]

This is the reason, I keep a fillet knife in the kit. Never know when you need thin slices of anything from wood to meat, where a thicker bladed knife will hamper your progress by comparison.

[nomad119]

For your double bit hand axe

research either double bit cedar axe or double bit tomahawk

both should give you what you are looking for. for best quality look for an old cedar axe on ebay. they used to be common until 1970's. head is 2 lbs

[wildernessoutfitters]

WAY!!!Heavier than Nessmuck's Axe

[stymye]

@wildernessoutfitters  I believe it's Nessmuk

[desertcamelbak]

how much was that queen?

[wildernessoutfitters]

Picked it up at a gun show for 40.00

[DesignatdSurvivalist]

how do you spell his name?

[hrwulf]

It is spelled Nessmuk.

[wingshooterz]

@DesignatdSurvivalist

George W. Sears was is real name his writing name was "Nessmuk". If you google Nessmuk you'll come up with pages of information .

[Outdoorslover552]

Dave, would this work with rabbit meat?. if so does jerked rabbit taste any good?

[Fearyourgovernment]

he's done a video on doing it with rabbit before.. and yes it tastes very good!

[Outdoorslover552]

Thanks man! :)

[Fearyourgovernment]

no problem!

[EvergreenBushcraft]

Thats a nice shirt Dave. is it a Pendleton? got one just like it.

[wildernessoutfitters]

No it's custom made brother.

[sillybillybadboy]

double bit axes are very useful as they are better balanced than single bit axes and you can keep different edges on either bit for different tasks e.g one thicker for splitting and one thinner for limbing. Having said that they definately require more practice to use due to the inherent danger of having a blade facing you while working. Dave great job as usual - you are such an inspiration and a truly unique character. Many thanks from the UK.

[desertcamelbak]

Nice Queen, too bad the Marbles Axe is made in CHina now. That butcher knife is the shizzle, looks just like and old hickory.

[surgicalshot]

looks like a alice pack

[halomaniac223]

im from duluth minnesota!!! yay lol looking foward to part 2

[360steven]

good video dave keep up the good work

[winterskyshadow35]

those fatty scraps can make a NICE soup broth with a little of your jerky seasoning.

[D33Lux]

lol, I was looking for part 2, I'm assuming its not uploaded yet. I really enjoy your videos alot, keep em' coming, I love this survivalist stuff. You're very well knowledged & well spoken

[calld2serve]

What about cold steel's "Bad AXE"

[Rozzrocks666]

The badaxe seems like its more a throwing design, compared to a splitting axe.

[Patriot36]

That's not a "proper" axe. It's more of a weapon and throwing axe.
