Wow! You could make a noise like a wounded rabbit and call in cayotes too.
I like your attention to history. I always had a suspicion that the Indians were living as if they were on a great big farm and simply harvesting when they needed too. The nomadic life I guess it's called. I'll bet the American bison was their biggest accomplishment. I wonder who designed it...and when??
Hey Dave missing the vids! we are so spoiled that if you go a couple days with out posting a new vid we freak out but that should tell you how much we all really love your videos and your channel - cant wait for the next!!!
That was a very good Jake Gobble at the end. Be careful not to do that with other hunters around. That would fool them, Bigtime. They'd be after you Dave. LOL
And I'm with Kellet781. I go to bed every night dreaming of living in my very own Yurt somewhere eating squirrel gravy and Americana eggs for breakfast. Heck, I was at Lowes after work this morning and saw a bucket 'Realtree color'/no lid, (should I buy it, I wondered?) Then I thought; What would Dave do?. LOL
Sheesh guys give the man a break over the holidays. (but I must admit I am eagerly awaiting the next "episode" just as bad as everyone else!) :D Hurry back Dave! We're having withdrawals!
Anyone else going through Yurt Journal withdrawels? Honestly, he said 2 days gone, not three. Common Dave! We cut ya a break for Christmas! Now get your butt back in that yurt before we send Codi to live with ya!
Dave, you have truly inspired me to look at the world around me in whole new ways. I have a 30 acre hunting property that i simply deer hunt. Now, I am envisioning taking my kids (or at least my oldest 7 year old son) out for a weekend to practice many of the techniques that you teach. We are excited to try snaring and using the woodland materials to maybe even build a spider shelter. I can't tell you how much I appreciate your generosity in sharing your knowledge!
Thanks for sharing your concern. I am very conscious of protecting resources, and I will certainly be careful and considerate in practicing these skills.
@jsddf8455 stove heat turns the snow into water, water runs off. Anything that drops inwards by chance will affect the stove. Dave showed us a few videos back how to 'season' his stove top with tallow making it rust resistant. I'd assume the important things with a Yert is to avoid ground water run off, deposits of mud.
There should be two main tribes on this planet, the ones that wanna live a confused human life in the "city" and the ones that wanna live a natural bush life . . if any of us got caught trying to live in the bush the city tribe would probably try to kill us cuz there fucking retarded.
His FB page indicated no new yurt journals until Friday. Guess I will start the series over and watch them through again. Maybe that will ease my pain. LOL.
Hi Dave, I've been watching your vids, very interesting and inspiring. I was wondering where you got your coat from, it looks really warm, kind regards jez west Scotland uk
So I just put the turkey bones in the pot to boil the marrow out and went out side to collect some pine resin and some deer poo( already had the ash) well I forgot about the bones being on the stove and the next thing I know I hear the smoke alarm going off an my wife is hanging out the back door screaming at me about trying to burn the house down. I guess what I'm trying to tell everyone is don't rush this one do it one step at a time or you will be on your way to the store to buy some turkey
@charbeckgram oh man, that stinks. :) I will have to practice making the pine resin. Mine didn't turn out very good, but it's still fun to give tasks like this a try. Funny story, glad that nothing really bad happened.
Ok Lassie, you say that Dave has fallen down and can't get up? Someone sent local EMS and police over to do a welfare check, I think something might have happened to our bushcraft pal. :)
Hey Dave i am a huge fan, i watch all your videos and try to involve my children in all that i do in the woods. I have a request for you. Can you get a little more indepth to woodland cures for cold and flu? I at present am suffering from the crud and i hate modern medicines. Can you help?
hey Dave i have a question thats kind of off topic here, but in other videos i've seen that you have 2 water bottles (and thats not including the green plastic one), and i was wondering why do you carry 2 if they are and do the same thing? hope you can answer,
Hay Dave, Why don't you use your M6 scout? Thats a very versatile gun and you have the best of both worlds, 410 and 22. I know that the 410 is easily reloadable just as your shotgun is and you wouldn't haveto worry about a adaptor for the 22.
@71wicker he doesn't use it because this is supposed to be common man's equipment, not everyone can afford the M6 scout that aren't manufactured any more and the remaining ones are $500+. my choice would be a .22LR/20 gauge matched pair from Rossi, two barrels, two ammo choices, one gun. at under $150, it's a steal and the perfect multi-use gun, you just need to carry the extra barrel. it's very common man's pricing and it's nearly identical to the H&R personally, no loss.
Response to hard-boiled egg difficulty in yurt 7. If you let the cracked egg set in water for 30 seconds it will release very easily, usually in one piece. works even better if you crack the egg while submerged. Thanks for all of the info. Its great learning together. PS sorry for the repost, just wanted to make sure you got the message.
I am glad that you are doing these video's. If I had a little bit of land I wouldn't mind having a yurt on it and these video's are helpful. Being Native American I like simple living and this is as simple as it gets.
Seriously having withdrawals tonight. Thought I would check one last time before bed. I just wanted one last video. LOL. Hope your Christmas with you family was excellent, Dave.
Awesome job on the wing bone call. One question I had about the Yurk in regards to the stove. I see that the top opening is several inches wider than the mouth of the stovepipe. Is that by design or is there some kind of heat resistant device you could use to keep the weather out as I noticed that the stove is rusting where the constant water fall hits it.
Great video Dave! Made one of these from the first gobbler I killed.
I used to deer hunt near Oak Hill so I know your general area. I have a piece of land near Hillsboro now, maybe I could come over and hang out at the yurt someday?
One trick to tune that type call is to have it tuned by a good turkey hunter that can also tune a guitar by ear. Those guys have "perfect pitch" and turkeys come running when they hear their calls.
@wildernessoutfitters Dave, my daughter and I build these turkey calls the last two days and they were a blast. She loved it. From sawing bones to making the pine pitch. One question I have is about chaga, is it only on birch or can it be found on aspen too? We found something similar growing out of broken branch areas that looks like a fungus. Any ideas sir? We brought about 12 of them home today to dry out. What did we find? Thanks bro!!
my post from last night got clipped off somehow after the first 3 words. I thought about the hunting parties needing to feed 20 some people 8 pounds of meat a day. If I had that requirement I would be after larger bodied game to get the requirement in as little pieces as possible. Maybe they just didnt shoot turkey or other small game due to available large game. just thinking outloud.
Dave is it still deer season out there, if so why don't you process a whole deer it would fit in either the long hunter series of life in the yurt !!!
Made two of these calls yesterday, what a fun project. I found that the mouthpiece on one is much better than the other because it is more narrow. Great idea and much appreciated sir. My kids were entertained and my nephew in Pennsylvania was thoroughly entertained over tango too. Thanks Dave. Can't learn this stuff anywhere else.
Hey Dave, what do you think about carrying straw rum? almost 600kcal/100ml, burns, desinfects, pain reliever, good strong taste for seasoning food ect ect.
Dave I know this is not the right topic. but I have seen you talk a little in the yurt videos on fatsticks.I look through some of your videos to find out what fatstciks are and were i would find the fatsticks.
marry X-mas Dave and thank you for all the videos they are so great. I wanted to ask if maybe you could show how to smoke or cure meat without anything from the store or whatnot. How long would it last in the wild or what helps make it last... thanks a lot dave for all your knowledge... You rock brotha
I agree with the info in 99 plus percent of all of your 500 videos. No complaints or gripes.
no argument at all that animal husbandry and resource conservation management is important to the point of being critical. Puma/Mt Lion population was eliminated here since the early 1900's. Just this week a Cougar was gunned down by law enforcement just because. "just because". Cougars eat deer. No reports of livestock pets or humans endangered or injured. This news made me sad.
@wildernessoutfitters north of Sioux City is Pheasant rich grass land environment so I dont see the number coorelation either. 50 miles south of Sioux City (along the river) I have personally seen groups of 25 to 50 wild turkey crossing the road out in the country. But cornfed white tailed deer are big bodied at the yealring stage too. might be habitat talking again
@BornRandy62 Agreed although habitat was much different then as well, so it's hard to say. Really my point in this vid was to say that we as a people overhunted the Turkey and it was more about Conservation and use of resources really than pure historical facts, I was using the L/C Journal as an example as to lack of Turkey Taken on the Journey, I do agree with Scott Dano that much of the area is not Turkey Habitat but the fact remain the MO River should have been crawling with them,
The Lewis and Clark exepedition followed the Missouri River from St Louis to the pacific coast line in Oregon/Washington. The river is timber rich until you get partially north of the Sioux City Iowa point (where Sgt Floyd died) and then you are in open prairie environment. Turkeys like to roost high at night and I dont dispute that there were few turkeys after they left the timber. habitat is a big factor. The expedition records complained about the lack of wood for fires.
Part 1 Here is what I got for Christmas, but to share, I'll have to tell a very short version here. Spoke a friend I call Grandpa last night. This is posted for it's historical content. It is illegal to hunt big game with a .22 caliber. He said it's better to use a .30-30, or bigger, but he took far more deer with a .22. He is an old time cowboy preserved, a very simple man, yet highly intelligent, can't read, and now too old to care if they come for him now at near 90,
@InTheSticks0001 Part 2 ... so he'll tell how he done it, how to hunt deer and elk with a .22. He took on average 75 head per year during the Great Depression, and gave it away to the hungry and friends. Nobody had nothing, so a box of ammo at .75 cents per 100, was a "big deal" for a kid. "Get the heaviest bullet you can. LR HP is best because they expand, but short's will work." " Zero it at 100 yards. Keep the shot within 100 yards... aim between the eyes."
Part 3 "The shot is going to knock them out". The POA is between the eyes, but I figure it will likely strike 3 to 4 " high and somewhere on the forehead. " Use a second shot when you come up to it otherwise it could wake up". he said. " It is easy to get a deer to look up and stare at you for longer than it takes. " Early morning is best. This old fella is as tough as they came and he has cold fire in his eyes that offsets the warmest heart you've ever seen. Cherish yours...
I figured wrong and need to correct this: "The POA is between the eyes, but I figure it will likely strike 3 to 4 " high and somewhere on the forehead." If .22 rifle is zeroed at 100 yards with standard 40g ammunition, it will strike dead on at 100 yards, 1.5" high at 90, and 3" to 4" high between 80 and down to 30 yards. This makes the recommended POA good for shots between 30 and 100 yards. Grandpa knew what he was doing. He is a 'crack ' shot and this is part of how it's done.
One thing that I don't think you've addressed yet is one of the main components to all of your hunting modifications, Gun Powder! I remember reading an article a couple years ago in "The Backwoodsman Magazine" on how to make gunpowder from human waste. I'm wondering what you've researched for the frontiersman and how they made gunpowder on season long hunts. Do you have any plans on demonstrating how to make blackpowder in a self reliance scenario?
@IndyTon80 I have been doing GunPowder research but from what I have seen, most of the Frontiersman did not make gunpowder they purchased or traded for it.
Thanks for giving us a Christmas present and spending time away from your family during these holidays, Dave.
Will you be doing a product demo of your Pathfinder Self Reliance Pack, anytime soon? I'm interested in it, but there aren't enough picture angles to get a true feeling for size and amount of storage.
Thanks again for all your knowledge that you share with us,
Hey Dave, did you ever get a coyote running into that turkey call? Sounds similar to a distress call. See any coyote tracks lately on your property? Ever eat a coyote? I've eaten fox and canines have to be on the last of my list of tasty animals. But at least it's free meat. God bless, SAM
@MrDeermaster There are only 3 bones there brother, I think I explained it pretty well, take the 2 small bones that are together in the wing, and cut the ends of so that they fit together, it is not hard.
@wildernessoutfitters alrighty ill try it out this spring check your inbox and video responses i got a question for you about the wax slugs thanks and merry christmas!!!
Caught me just in time, was just about to throw away two wings and watched this. Went strait from the trash to the stove to boil some bones with company over lol. Made two and they both work great but it seems like the one with a larger top peice is much easier to blow so if you plan on making one use a large wing and make sure if you have a few different selections to work with use the longest top bone possible. great vid by the way
Dave, sorry off topic, but I know your reading this so thought I'd make a suggestion.
In Ireland we used to cook Soda bread in a pot over a turf fire. We make up the fire hot & let it burn down to hot coals, then suspend the pot over the fire and put the prepared soda bread dough (usually buttermilk soda bread) in the pot. Then put the cover on the pot, and shovel hot coals on the top of the pot. Let it cook&rise in this makeshift oven. You could try something similar. God bless bro, SAM
Awesome! I always like the ingenuity of animal calling. Where I live I usually call hares, fox, and birds, but I don't need a tool for those sounds. When I visit US someday I will be sure to try this call out.
Not sure if you mentioned in previous videos which model of leather-man multi tool you have but can you tell me which one you prefer and why as I know they don't come cheap, But as you said before you need tools that last so I would rather buy the right one to begin with and your's look quite adequate , Regards & merry christmas Daz.

My kids were entertained and my nephew in Pennsylvania was thoroughly entertained over tango too. Thanks Dave. Can't learn this stuff anywhere else.

I agree with the info in 99 plus percent of all of your 500 videos. No complaints or gripes.
no argument at all that animal husbandry and resource conservation management is important to the point of being critical. Puma/Mt Lion population was eliminated here since the early 1900's. Just this week a Cougar was gunned down by law enforcement just because. "just because". Cougars eat deer. No reports of livestock pets or humans endangered or injured. This news made me sad.

@wildernessoutfitters north of Sioux City is Pheasant rich grass land environment so I dont see the number coorelation either. 50 miles south of Sioux City (along the river) I have personally seen groups of 25 to 50 wild turkey crossing the road out in the country. But cornfed white tailed deer are big bodied at the yealring stage too. might be habitat talking again
BornRandy62 2 months ago
@BornRandy62 Agreed although habitat was much different then as well, so it's hard to say. Really my point in this vid was to say that we as a people overhunted the Turkey and it was more about Conservation and use of resources really than pure historical facts, I was using the L/C Journal as an example as to lack of Turkey Taken on the Journey, I do agree with Scott Dano that much of the area is not Turkey Habitat but the fact remain the MO River should have been crawling with them,

point of comment. we arent talking about eastern timber ground. oranges and oranges apples and apples.
BornRandy62 2 months ago
The Lewis and Clark exepedition followed the Missouri River from St Louis to the pacific coast line in Oregon/Washington. The river is timber rich until you get partially north of the Sioux City Iowa point (where Sgt Floyd died) and then you are in open prairie environment. Turkeys like to roost high at night and I dont dispute that there were few turkeys after they left the timber. habitat is a big factor. The expedition records complained about the lack of wood for fires.

500th video
IMTHEBOSS720 2 months ago
Part 1 Here is what I got for Christmas, but to share, I'll have to tell a very short version here. Spoke a friend I call Grandpa last night. This is posted for it's historical content. It is illegal to hunt big game with a .22 caliber. He said it's better to use a .30-30, or bigger, but he took far more deer with a .22. He is an old time cowboy preserved, a very simple man, yet highly intelligent, can't read, and now too old to care if they come for him now at near 90,
InTheSticks0001 2 months ago
@InTheSticks0001 Part 2 ... so he'll tell how he done it, how to hunt deer and elk with a .22. He took on average 75 head per year during the Great Depression, and gave it away to the hungry and friends. Nobody had nothing, so a box of ammo at .75 cents per 100, was a "big deal" for a kid. "Get the heaviest bullet you can. LR HP is best because they expand, but short's will work." " Zero it at 100 yards. Keep the shot within 100 yards... aim between the eyes."
InTheSticks0001 2 months ago
Part 3 "The shot is going to knock them out". The POA is between the eyes, but I figure it will likely strike 3 to 4 " high and somewhere on the forehead. " Use a second shot when you come up to it otherwise it could wake up". he said. " It is easy to get a deer to look up and stare at you for longer than it takes. " Early morning is best. This old fella is as tough as they came and he has cold fire in his eyes that offsets the warmest heart you've ever seen. Cherish yours...
InTheSticks0001 2 months ago
I figured wrong and need to correct this: "The POA is between the eyes, but I figure it will likely strike 3 to 4 " high and somewhere on the forehead." If .22 rifle is zeroed at 100 yards with standard 40g ammunition, it will strike dead on at 100 yards, 1.5" high at 90, and 3" to 4" high between 80 and down to 30 yards. This makes the recommended POA good for shots between 30 and 100 yards. Grandpa knew what he was doing. He is a 'crack ' shot and this is part of how it's done.

One thing that I don't think you've addressed yet is one of the main components to all of your hunting modifications, Gun Powder! I remember reading an article a couple years ago in "The Backwoodsman Magazine" on how to make gunpowder from human waste. I'm wondering what you've researched for the frontiersman and how they made gunpowder on season long hunts. Do you have any plans on demonstrating how to make blackpowder in a self reliance scenario?
IndyTon80 2 months ago 3
@IndyTon80 I have been doing GunPowder research but from what I have seen, most of the Frontiersman did not make gunpowder they purchased or traded for it.

Thanks for giving us a Christmas present and spending time away from your family during these holidays, Dave.
Will you be doing a product demo of your Pathfinder Self Reliance Pack, anytime soon? I'm interested in it, but there aren't enough picture angles to get a true feeling for size and amount of storage.
Thanks again for all your knowledge that you share with us,

Hey Dave, did you ever get a coyote running into that turkey call? Sounds similar to a distress call. See any coyote tracks lately on your property? Ever eat a coyote? I've eaten fox and canines have to be on the last of my list of tasty animals. But at least it's free meat. God bless, SAM

@MrDeermaster There are only 3 bones there brother, I think I explained it pretty well, take the 2 small bones that are together in the wing, and cut the ends of so that they fit together, it is not hard.

Caught me just in time, was just about to throw away two wings and watched this. Went strait from the trash to the stove to boil some bones with company over lol. Made two and they both work great but it seems like the one with a larger top peice is much easier to blow so if you plan on making one use a large wing and make sure if you have a few different selections to work with use the longest top bone possible. great vid by the way

Dave, sorry off topic, but I know your reading this so thought I'd make a suggestion.
In Ireland we used to cook Soda bread in a pot over a turf fire. We make up the fire hot & let it burn down to hot coals, then suspend the pot over the fire and put the prepared soda bread dough (usually buttermilk soda bread) in the pot. Then put the cover on the pot, and shovel hot coals on the top of the pot. Let it cook&rise in this makeshift oven. You could try something similar. God bless bro, SAM

Not sure if you mentioned in previous videos which model of leather-man multi tool you have but can you tell me which one you prefer and why as I know they don't come cheap, But as you said before you need tools that last so I would rather buy the right one to begin with and your's look quite adequate , Regards & merry christmas Daz.
