I like the shotgun kit. It is kind of like the one I built into my Rossi single shot 12ga. I put a small 6 compartment folding case into the hollow butt stock along with a small emergency bivy sack for shelter and para cord.
Here is what I am doing. I have friends and family saving jars and lids. I plan to use them for canning in the fall of 2012. I am having them save the jars they would normally throw out in the course of normal grocery use.
I am stocking up on Burger King pickle buckets. They are 5 gallon, food grade, and free. You only get about one a week per location. So start getting them NOW.
We need to think in terms of survival NOW. This doesn't mean living in fear. It means being prepared.
dual survival love the show this guy knows whats up no shoes!!!! crazy great video thats a awesome double barrel really like the broom stick handle keep on keeping on brother
If you are looking for non replaceable goods, then I strongly suggest buying clothing at thrift stores. But pants, coats, shirts, wool undershirts, shoes, sleeping bags, blankets, etc...
You get them for way cheap. You can get a LOT of different sizes. You can pick and choose as you go week to week. And you can stock up over the course of a few months on a LOT of stuff.
I had a 12 GA when I was younger that had rifle sights on it and it had a hole drilled into the stock long ways with a piece of steelin it with a spring behinde it. You could put two shells in side the stock. It was awesome!
Dave, now that you've lived in the yurt for awhile, what are your thoughts on the structure it's self? How's the yurt in maybe like a wind storm or a real heavy snow.I don't think you've had that kind of weather this winter in Ohio. Maybe the yurt manufacturer would have some insight on how sustainable the yurt is in bad weather ( I live in Indy and instructed scuba at Divers Supply where your Dad taught.scuba.
hey dave. i was thinking about putting my chiminea inside my yurt either with a stove pipe on top or just by lining the ceiling with space blankets. it doesn't produce a bit of smoke once it is hot so i figured it might work out well for heat
Dave, what do you think about the alpaca wool? I'm having a wicked hard time finding a good wool blanket. Military issues are easy but they're not very good. Any suggestions for companies or types of wool? Its a pretty extensive market with tons of different kinds of wool out there. Thanks
@jrodaub Dude I looked at your channel you don't have a whole lot to offer to be responding the way your are. If you can't take some thing away from these vids you are really missing the point. Quite being a pecker head.It takes a lot of time just to put a vid on youtube. You should be thankful of all of them. Thanks for the vid Dave keep em coming.
Very interesting idea cutting the space for the fire starter kit into the stock of the gun. Do you think there could be some follow up or detailed information on how to do that? Great video!
Ive been fumbling with making storage space in my gun stocks for years now and its a really handy way to improve the dynamics of your weapon, but theres always a trade off. 1 being weight of course but seeing that big hole you made for that altoids can would be of some concern to me, if you had to use that weapon as a melee in a suprise cqb situation, the more wood you cut from the stock the weaker it becomes.
My goodness. When you said the word ditty/diddy bag, I had to stop the video for a minute. My eyes swelled up and I thought of my grandmother who passed back in 86. A product of the 19th century, she always called her little tote bag a "ditty bag". In my 50 years you are the only other person I have heard use that word. God bless you for bringing back a most pleasant memory.
I think the back lash of big businesses is here, more people buying locally from people they trust. Huge chain stores are becoming more and more untrustworthy. My wife and I try to buy local stuff, she even works in the summer at a local organic farm in trade for fresh fruits and vegetables. The future isn't bigger, it's smaller, making micro economies to support everyone.
That's a sweet little shottie Mr. Dave. I carry one similar to that when the mood strike me. I usually stuff a 7 1/2 in one barrel for squirrels and such, and a 00 in the other in case I see something exciting...Lamar
I must say Dave, this whole weekend I have been turning on my computer and checking YouTube just to see if you posted any new JotY videos. Glad you're back!
1) Dave for general knowledge, it isn’t Alpaca “Wool”. The word “Wool” became a paraphrase like Jeep but in fact Wool can only come from Sheep. The difference between Wool and any other type of Hair is that Wool is the only Hair that isn’t hollow. That is why Wool will never be as warm as Cashmere, Alpaca fur, Camel hair, Qiviuk and so on.
@BravingTheOutDoors Don;t mean to argue, actually discuss, but wool is HOLLOW. and it is not just from sheep. Not sure of your sources but just look it up. I had to because just about all you sid was against what I had been brought up beieving.
@teb0atoz I studied Wool extensively for a project i'm working on. I read a lot and purchased a few professional books that discuss preparation methods.
So that being said, i have no idea what you brought up to believe but if you'll study it you'll find the same information is supported by professional sources, it's certainly not something i made up.
that being said no hair fiber is actually round and wool is no different. it's curved and has an inner tunnel but it's not hollow
@teb0atoz@BravingTheOutDoors You need to read from a book and not the internet if you don't believe this guy. I knit, and this is something that is mentioned in many knitting books I have used that talk about different fibers, hair, wool, etc. BravingTheOutDoors is correct.
@BravingTheOutDoors Do the other "non wool" materials have the same properties as Sheep wool? as far as heat retention when wet, durability, and warmth?
@jeff85988 I really don't know about any and every other hair type. What I know is that first of all Merino (which is wool) is supposed to be better in any aspect aside from durability and strength. I know that Camel and Alpaca are warmer but I really don't know about their water repelling properties but I doubt they can be compared to an Italian Army Wool Blanket. That thing will abide a nuclear boom. The one I have can barely get wet really! BTW, Kephart said that nothing comes close to Camel
@BravingTheOutDoors- Your right Wool is a catch all phrase like Jeep... but Wool is actually more like care then Jeep. Because several types of animals can and do produce wool. Cashmere, Mohair, Qiviuk, ext... is considered wool. But they are a more specialized type of wool, with strict guidelines on what is necessary to be considered that.
Just like all bourbon is whiskey, but not all whiskey is bourbon!
@BravingTheOutDoors - Actually Alpaca can and do produce what is called medullation fibers. They are hair fibers with a central core, problem is they are hard to dye, harsher against skin, ext... so people throw it out, and keep the finer silky wool instead. Really the only real difference in the two is Alpaca wool is finer, and they don’t produce an oily coating “aka, lanolin”, which makes them hypoallergenic, but not as water resistant as sheep’s wool.
2) On the other side, because Wool is solid it will always be far more durable than any of these other Hair types. Now, the reason some are referred to as Hair, others as Fur and others as Down has to do with the density of growth per space and length measure. There is also an issue of properties like thickness of fiber.
3) Cashmere and Qiviuk are both thin in measure and therefore per space they contain more dead air. On the other hand, fabric to fabric, Wool is 8 times stronger than Cashmere and when sewed the strength gets compounded. In addition, since Wool is solid it will always keep its natural size and that is why it keeps its shape for longer while any other hollow fiber may be pressed or squashed and that is why you can see areas that have lost their shape in older Cashmere shirts etc.
4) Alpaca is interesting in this respect because for a hollow fiber it is quite thick in diameter and that is why it is pretty strong compared to cashmere, will be warmer than Wool and provide decent strength. Though you still can’t compare it to wool strength-wise but because its inner walls are thick it will also maintain warmth stability for a lot longer and will never get as “hot” as Cashmere so it has a “sub” effect by keeping you leveled.
5) Of course, Camel hair beats Alpaca in terms of warmth-stability due to its properties but it is not as warm when matching fiber to fiber but it does have good repelling properties and its density is good against wind. Nothing cam match Qiviuk of course but who the heck can spend 10,000$ on one blanket! ;) Qiviuk is considered Down by the way, Alpaca is Fur, Camel is Hair and Cashmere is Down.
@BravingTheOutDoors I think many of us would find a source helpful, especially since some of what you've said contradicts cited information on Wikipedia. We all know that isn't assurance of validity or invalidity, but as we stand you want US to do the work. If you want us to believe you when Wikipedia (the first place most people check to verify information) contradicts you, you have to make it easier to believe you than refute you. Thanks.f
@mysss29 Friend, this was a comment. I'm not going to cite every book I ever read or try to "prove" something to someone I don't even know. As the TMW say: you can believe whatever you want to believe. However, 2 good books are: Wool - The World's Comforter & Knitter's Book of Wool. BTW Speaking from experience (also regarding to my real life business) Wikipedia is probably the last place you should ever consult for expertise and precise information. I't s ok for general news type knowledge.
what is it with Americans and Altoids tins, is it just they don't smoke anymore or are they just pansy's that wont use good old fashioned tobacco tins anymore.
Watching these yurt videos have really gotten me pumped up to start being self reliant. Makes me feel as if i could go out and do these things myself...where to start....Thank you and god bless.
Great Video, now i have to go carve up a shotgun, I am not sure how much it cost you to do videos, but I can tell you how much it cost me when you do :) Thanks for another great video packed full of great ideas.
yu=ou keep taking about how great a shotgun is for hunting small game and i thought it would be great if you did a video on choosing a shot gun for small game hunting and the diffrent types of shot for those of us like my self that dont know much about shot gunsat all. keep up the great work
Barter usually replaces money as the method of exchange in times of monetary crisis, such as when the currency may be either unstable (e.g., hyperinflation or deflationary spiral) or simply unavailable for conducting commerce. Seems we all learn something new everyday from your channel. In this day and time Bartering is on it's way back in full swing. Thanks for another great video.
It's a shame that a fair amount of your talks cover things UK bushcrafters can not be a part of, ie, guns, fixed blade knives and other aspects, too many to mention. So we lose out on self reliance opportunities due to not having a gun for example if Zombie Apocalypse happens.
Dave you made out like a bandit! :) That leather pouch is absolutely BOMBER!!. I like to try to pick up little odds and ends too if something catches my eye. I actually have one of those oil bottles. They were REALLY common in former soviet Countries for oil to care for their weapons, AK-47's, SKS, Mosin Nagant, PSL, etc. Usually available at gun shows next to other similar accessories for former soviet weapons. I'm hoping i can find an army/navy store to try to score some things.
Dave you mentioned all the birds you have on you place. Sometime would you mind discussion your coop design ... I'm getting ready to build a coop soon and would like to hear you thoughts on protecting your resource and keeping the birds safe. I understand that if they get stressed by a predator they stop laying for a couple of days. Let me know - thanks, Shane - Richmond, TX
@wcfdemt Not gona be any more of those brother, but no worries we will have a NEW Bottle in a about a Month with a nesting cup and measurment markers 32OZ SS
who eals wants to see more vidios on, and about bows i know theres been a good few already but perhaps some things about basic repairs and upkeep of your bows
My Papaw said when he was a boy they raised Guinea Hogs on there farm. he told me its the best flavored hog meat he's ever had, but they are rare, might be somthing you would be interested in...
Dave, please list alpaca wool products ... I have an alpaca wool blanket from Peru (no tassels) which is absolutely the best blanket I own bar none. Took this one camping in Alaska late summer last year and it was awesome.
so what you think of a rifled .410 that will shoot 45 colt i think rossie makes it i have been looking for one. one of my buddys have one but it is hard to find. any thought on it
@bowmad100 .410 shot is best for small birds. .410 slug will easily take deer. If the barrel is rifled, then shot pattern will be abnormal and have 'holes' making it much less effective. How the common foster slug would behave in other than the smooth barrel it was designed for, I don't know. So a rifled .410 might have the correct twist rate to shoot .45 Long Colt accurately and therefore it would not be a.410 shotgun , but a .45 Long Colt rifle.
@bowmad100 I would use it with .45 Long Colt. The standard loads are a little more potent than .45 ACP, giving you about a 75 yard deer rifle, but if a gunsmith believes the shotgun can handle 25,000 cup, then a +P load would improve the range to about 100+ yards and it would be a far more potent load on the heels of the .45-70Govt. .45LC +P, 300g at near 1,200fps. .45-70Govt, 350g at 1,300fps. .45-70 was used to take buffalo. You have a very useful rifle within it range limits.
dave i like the routing out the stock for a altoids can great idea , do you like those adapters in the 12 ga, i have conciderd makeing one out of a barrel blank for my coach gun but with with a full lengeth barrel or at least over 10 in or so in a popular calabur like 762x39 or 357 mag/38 i think it would be swell for just about any kind of game , thanks again
I really enjoy the fact that on your TV show it says you were an ex-army sniper so I know that your very familiar with modern weapons and tactics but yet you choose to do things more traditionally as somewhat of a early frontiersman. This is one of the main reasons I really like your channel, the fact that you want to emphasize the way people did it so long ago without the modern tech. Im very much a believer that technology will let you down. Enjoying your vids very much.
all this talk of guns makes me remember my Dads old guns brought back from Germany as "souvenirs" and were to be mine until they were stolen from my Uncle's car. A double barrel 16 w/22on top and double barred 410 with 22 on top. I wish I had just had that sweet little 410 with the 22 in the middle. :-(
Hey Dave , just thought i would ad a little more info on that oil bottle . They were issued in China and Russia with the SKS and AK47 to just name a few .
Great finds Dave have you ever thought about using the artificial sinew in any of your kits I have seen it used for everything from wraping arrow and Atlatl shafts to sewing/ gear repair I understand you can do it w/ bank line as well just thinking the small rolls you can get at most hobby shops in the leather area would be worth a look at its not a tared line like bankline its waxed however and in some things that maybe a plus
Sundries Grocery seems these days the definition is just opposite of yours Grocery seems common these days and Sundries is more exotic Just saying Peace love your series !
@Hirt1026 it is safe. difference between tallow and lard is just the source both are hydrophobic meaning they will repel water. you could use vegetable oil or motor oil to anything that repels water.
A military canteen cup should fit your "new" canteen just fine. I have a metal miltary issue canteen from 1943, my cup is from 1945, and they fit together just fine. The cup also fits my canteens from the 80's.
Dave, I really enjoyed this video. I enjoy all of them but this one hit home because the Trade and Stock factor is one I believe will help America get back on its feet again one day. Trade and Stock in very hard times keeps communication open and builds trust in communities as well as identifies those with useful skills and gaps in those skills that someone might learn and fill. Great discussion and video. Thanks
Trade is a good Ideal. Maybe you can set up and trade day or trade area at your summer gathering. This would allow people to see and learn values of items verses other items. Trade and barter is a very improtant part of self relaince.
those socks and blanket look great. does she cut the wool with anything or are they 100% wool? you should test them out and hopefully sell them, socks and blanket. it is VERY hard to find a good wool blanket.
dave, just wanna say that you have a great deal to do with my self reliance training/life style. i first saw you on duel survivor then started looking you up on youtube. while i dont agree with every little thing you say, you are a great reference for me. i get alot of information from you and others on you tube. keep up the great work brother, you are living my dream...go ron paul!!
I am really interested in finding out how the Alpaca wool blanket and socks work out. Right now, what I can find is either poor quality (blended) or beyond this "common man's" price range.
Thanks for putting this info up. I am really enjoying the yurt series!
From one Army Vet to another, thank you for continuing your quest in helping others.
That's really cool that you got that Steven's double barrel shotgun I have the exact same one in my gun safe got a good deal for it as well since I bought it from a friend.
The Best shot gun that I do own is one my dad passed down to me a 1960s savage 20 ga with a 22mag that was his saddle gun in his day as a kid
Dave, I have a question for you regarding your firearms choice. You prefer a single shot 12ga with a .22lr insert correct? Have you ever looked into one of the Stevens over under shotguns chambered in .410/.22 or 12ga/30.06? Seems like you could do better with the benefit in gained accuracy of a full length .22lr barrel instead of that insert and you have the option of one being chambered in 30.06 for north American big game. Seems like it would be a better option and no extra load or space.
@reigninblood9188 That is not a bad option brother I also have 2 M6 Scouts Chambered .22/410 I am very fond of, for overall versatility and simplicity I just like the SS 12GA. But any gun that works for you works! I can Kill any American Animal with a 12GA.
@wildernessoutfitters Your comment got me curios as I have never heard of the M6. Just watched your video on it, and I stand corrected. All I can say I WOW! What an amazing survival weapon. Now I just have to find one. Any advice on urban survival? Particularly surviving an attack from an angry misses when she finds out I spend $500 on "another stupid gun." Me: "But sweetie, It holds the shells in the stock!" Wife: "Lets find out how accurate it is...better start running!"
Happy New Year Dude !!! And I did like the shot shell reloading trick , I tried it and found that the storm matches give a bigger kick . P.S. is there a way to re mold slugs after use ?
Just want to thank you for making these videos and really learned a lot. Not looking at one thing just what it was used for but what it can be used for. Not only great for survival in the middle of know where but also in these hard times. Also do you know any web sites all about trading and not about buying?
I know it won't look very traditional, but why noy invest in a New England Survivor stock and storage forend made by Choate Machine & Tool? It will hold all kinds of stuff.
@wildernessoutfitters I have one and I love it. I was planning on getting a 223 youth rifle and putting it in the stock for a break-down gun for my bug out bag.
dave i agree with you in damn near everything you do but using glass as ammo is not a good idea if your hunting. 1 little sliver of glass can kill you if it imbeds itself in the intestines or colon. but if youre using it for self defense its all good...
I like the shotgun kit. It is kind of like the one I built into my Rossi single shot 12ga. I put a small 6 compartment folding case into the hollow butt stock along with a small emergency bivy sack for shelter and para cord.

2) On the other side, because Wool is solid it will always be far more durable than any of these other Hair types. Now, the reason some are referred to as Hair, others as Fur and others as Down has to do with the density of growth per space and length measure. There is also an issue of properties like thickness of fiber.
BravingTheOutDoors 1 month ago
3) Cashmere and Qiviuk are both thin in measure and therefore per space they contain more dead air. On the other hand, fabric to fabric, Wool is 8 times stronger than Cashmere and when sewed the strength gets compounded. In addition, since Wool is solid it will always keep its natural size and that is why it keeps its shape for longer while any other hollow fiber may be pressed or squashed and that is why you can see areas that have lost their shape in older Cashmere shirts etc.
BravingTheOutDoors 1 month ago
4) Alpaca is interesting in this respect because for a hollow fiber it is quite thick in diameter and that is why it is pretty strong compared to cashmere, will be warmer than Wool and provide decent strength. Though you still can’t compare it to wool strength-wise but because its inner walls are thick it will also maintain warmth stability for a lot longer and will never get as “hot” as Cashmere so it has a “sub” effect by keeping you leveled.
BravingTheOutDoors 1 month ago
5) Of course, Camel hair beats Alpaca in terms of warmth-stability due to its properties but it is not as warm when matching fiber to fiber but it does have good repelling properties and its density is good against wind. Nothing cam match Qiviuk of course but who the heck can spend 10,000$ on one blanket! ;) Qiviuk is considered Down by the way, Alpaca is Fur, Camel is Hair and Cashmere is Down.

@BravingTheOutDoors I think many of us would find a source helpful, especially since some of what you've said contradicts cited information on Wikipedia. We all know that isn't assurance of validity or invalidity, but as we stand you want US to do the work. If you want us to believe you when Wikipedia (the first place most people check to verify information) contradicts you, you have to make it easier to believe you than refute you. Thanks.f

@mysss29 Friend, this was a comment. I'm not going to cite every book I ever read or try to "prove" something to someone I don't even know. As the TMW say: you can believe whatever you want to believe. However, 2 good books are: Wool - The World's Comforter & Knitter's Book of Wool. BTW Speaking from experience (also regarding to my real life business) Wikipedia is probably the last place you should ever consult for expertise and precise information. I't s ok for general news type knowledge.

Barter usually replaces money as the method of exchange in times of monetary crisis, such as when the currency may be either unstable (e.g., hyperinflation or deflationary spiral) or simply unavailable for conducting commerce.

It's a shame that a fair amount of your talks cover things UK bushcrafters can not be a part of, ie, guns, fixed blade knives and other aspects, too many to mention. So we lose out on self reliance opportunities due to not having a gun for example if Zombie Apocalypse happens.

Dave you made out like a bandit! :) That leather pouch is absolutely BOMBER!!. I like to try to pick up little odds and ends too if something catches my eye. I actually have one of those oil bottles. They were REALLY common in former soviet Countries for oil to care for their weapons, AK-47's, SKS, Mosin Nagant, PSL, etc. Usually available at gun shows next to other similar accessories for former soviet weapons. I'm hoping i can find an army/navy store to try to score some things.

so what you think of a rifled .410 that will shoot 45 colt i think rossie makes it i have been looking for one. one of my buddys have one but it is hard to find. any thought on it
bowmad100 2 months ago
@bowmad100 .410 shot is best for small birds. .410 slug will easily take deer. If the barrel is rifled, then shot pattern will be abnormal and have 'holes' making it much less effective. How the common foster slug would behave in other than the smooth barrel it was designed for, I don't know. So a rifled .410 might have the correct twist rate to shoot .45 Long Colt accurately and therefore it would not be a.410 shotgun , but a .45 Long Colt rifle.
InTheSticks0001 1 month ago
@InTheSticks0001 it shots both on the barrel it say .410/45 lc so i thought it was a .410 it dont pattren well but shots slug and 45 lc fine
bowmad100 1 month ago
@bowmad100 I would use it with .45 Long Colt. The standard loads are a little more potent than .45 ACP, giving you about a 75 yard deer rifle, but if a gunsmith believes the shotgun can handle 25,000 cup, then a +P load would improve the range to about 100+ yards and it would be a far more potent load on the heels of the .45-70Govt. .45LC +P, 300g at near 1,200fps. .45-70Govt, 350g at 1,300fps. .45-70 was used to take buffalo. You have a very useful rifle within it range limits.

I really enjoy the fact that on your TV show it says you were an ex-army sniper so I know that your very familiar with modern weapons and tactics but yet you choose to do things more traditionally as somewhat of a early frontiersman. This is one of the main reasons I really like your channel, the fact that you want to emphasize the way people did it so long ago without the modern tech. Im very much a believer that technology will let you down. Enjoying your vids very much.

Trade and Stock in very hard times keeps communication open and builds trust in communities as well as identifies those with useful skills and gaps in those skills that someone might learn and fill. Great discussion and video. Thanks

coolastro 2 months ago
Dave, I have a question for you regarding your firearms choice. You prefer a single shot 12ga with a .22lr insert correct? Have you ever looked into one of the Stevens over under shotguns chambered in .410/.22 or 12ga/30.06? Seems like you could do better with the benefit in gained accuracy of a full length .22lr barrel instead of that insert and you have the option of one being chambered in 30.06 for north American big game. Seems like it would be a better option and no extra load or space.

@reigninblood9188 That is not a bad option brother I also have 2 M6 Scouts Chambered .22/410 I am very fond of, for overall versatility and simplicity I just like the SS 12GA. But any gun that works for you works! I can Kill any American Animal with a 12GA.

@wildernessoutfitters Your comment got me curios as I have never heard of the M6. Just watched your video on it, and I stand corrected. All I can say I WOW! What an amazing survival weapon.
