Thanks for all the videos, there GREAT! I had a question, did I miss a video of you making or setting up the Yurt? If you have any footage of when you put it together and it isnt on youtube it would be great if you could post that and some footage of taking the Yurt down and packing it away for transport. Keep up the videos, I make time everyday to watch a few of your videos.
I bought an m6 scout three months ago for $650. It is amazing. Do you often shoot 45lc? I have seen that it can handle it, and that it cannot handle the 45lc.
Hey dave iam going on a pant camping trip. if you dont know what that is, it is were you go camping with out a bag, sleeping bag, or anything that not's in your pockets of your pants. Any suggestions or possibly do a video on it? Thanks! (Keep up the Good Work!)
i'm interested in the compass.If it's possible to get the info on where i could get one, web site, phone number . company name. I have a few compasses but not one with a sundile i think that's pretty cool.
This series is outstanding. For those who don't know it, I should add that yurts are frequently being rented out at various parks. And they are proving to be very popular. Dave, I will bet that you could do the same. Of course, you would also need to provide some toilet facilities. A dry privy would work. Just a thought!
190 bucks for a wool shirt. Yikes man. I bought a tibetan handmade 100 percent wool sweater that twice as thick for 35 bucks. True no hood on mine. But I make up for that with gaitors,masks and mil wool hats.
Dave get Iris to show what a woman would bring to the yurt.Come on iris get out from behind the camera I'm, sure there's a lot of woman that watch the Pathfinder. and I would bet they would really enjoy Iris showing a woman perspective on living in the Yurt.
I hope every one else will feel the same.I think that for the most, feel a family ness to the Pathfinder.
I can't help but smile when I hear him say "we got two scenarios coming up in February" because I am gonna be in one of 'em! Can't Wait Dave! Great finds! Loving the Boreal Hoodie!
kool vid nice to see you up in. you was in indiana indy gun and knife show ? i should've drove down if i known you whoulda ben there just to shake your hand.
Cool stuff Dave. A question; you are using the front bead only on the shotgun. Ifyou start shooting a lot out of the HnR at what point do you think you may want some other type of sight? or will you stay with just the bead? Love your stuff.
That wool shirt is beautiful. I could tell before you ever said a word that it was bulletproof. I was hoping you would mention it.. Outstanding piece of cold weather gear.
I'll post here, love your videos Dave, and these Yurt ones are kick ass!

mr.dave, is there a way i can send you something to check out...nothing that i sell, actually i get them free...just something that falls under the container classification that is great addition to my kit ....keep up the good work .
really love that 100% wool hoody, my mom and I are felting instructors at primitive skill gatherings (Rabbitstick, Wintercount Buck eye and Echoes in time to name a few). Wool is an amazing material, thanks for sharing the info on this hoody, stay safe Dave.
Awesome compass. NRA sent a gift magazine with a neat fire steel set, It was a solid brass small tin with a magnafying glass in the top had a fire steel flint jute twine and char cloth. It was about 50 bucks though.
Dave, I have been looking into the shirts for a while now, but they do not come in my size. I emailed the company and they told me that they are glad to customize the sizes for customers. They said their tallest customer was 7'1" and 375 lbs.

Dave, ive said it many times and ill say it again....your the man bro!! ive been following you since you started bushcraft and you taught me more than ill ever know about wilderness living and what god has given us. Im definitely going to be there in ohio with you all for the basics class! By the way could you do a video on your edc carabiner?
I made a shirt out of my us army wool blanket it damn sure ain't bullet proof like your hoodie but does keep me warm in these cold Florida nights out here on the river. Dave your the man brother keep up the great work!
Hay Dave,I understand your pretty busy with all that your doing.But I wounder if you can show how to build a wigwam.these are almost the same as the Yurt
Howdy Dave: Do you have any idea why they quit making the M6? I doubt that there are any quality control issues, as everyone I know who has one (Yourself included) all say the thing is bullet proof. That having been said I'm guessing it wasn't a very good seller back in the day? Not terribly profitable back then maybe? Have you or anyone else you may know of ever contacted Springfield and say "Hey, why don't you start making the M6 again?" What might you think would be thier response?
oh yeah, about the buckshot mold, you'll need leather gloves or to put wooden handles on it so not to burn yourself, those gun bag molds heat up insanely quick, like on the 2nd or 3rd ball. it's tedious too, molding 9 balls just for one shot. for birdshot, you can take a spoonful of lead and drop it from standing height into a bucket of water, it makes it a bit roughly, but it works.
I have one of those Empire Wool and Canvas 100% wool Boreal shirts. I have to totally agree with your assesment of it. It is the finest garment I own. It was 5 degrees here in New Hampshire, and I wore a sweater, a 200 weight fleece jacket, and this boreal shirt (with all the ties pulled tight and the hood up), and I was toasty warm. It is worth every penny. They even custom sewed one for me to fit me perfectly for the same price.
Great video Dave. When I use wool on wool it seems I'm bombarded with "static electricity", how do you handle this? Or do you have this problem with wool?
@HBC258 You can stick a nail through the bottom of your boot to let the electricity flow through to the ground, but otherwise, if you're at all insulated from the ground, there will be an inevitable buildup.
Great to see an update, I stumbled across your videos here on good old you tube and have since found dual survival. Didn't know what a celeb you were Dave. You have real passion and it shows. All the time you can do what you love and make a living, go for it!
I'd love the chance to speak to you some day, but as I live in Scotland UK I can't see myself bumping into you ;-)
Thank you for all the vids and info you produce mate, I look forward to catching up again soon. If you ever visit the UK I'd
really useful and good lookin jacket brother..now buy some 100% wool russian walenki boots and u looks like a real oldscool woodsman..any way ...have a good one
I was able to find a site that sells those awesome 100% wool sweaters that you got for 5 bucks a piece.. and ive only payed around 12$ a piece for them... and ive gotten 3 of them... also.. i got a pair of 100% wool army pants.. from WW2 ara... for only 28$
its not HARD to find 100% WOOL go to youre local thrift stores u will find all sorts of 100% wool for DIRT CHEAP!!! you dont need to spend big bucks, you can always sew youre own pockets into any shirt you want!
dave, for the first time in my life i am dissapointed in you! you just said you wernt realy looking for guns! there is no such thing as too many guns!
@wildernessoutfitters Allrighty then :) Very very very cool show, I love it, please continue as long as possible. Could be nice to see all 4 seasons of living in the Yourt. There probably isn't a lot of changes, but even minor is interesting and useful to know, just like the pack differs for summer and winter, my guess.
@wildernessoutfitters Back in 1987 I was stationed in Hanau Germany and we were having 100% wool liners made and sewn into the old green style rain jackets by a Korean Seamstress. Those things were the bomb for staying warm. They would sew in pockets for maps and pens and other things on the inside that were very handy where ever you wanted them. I have since lost the one I had made but now have an old rain jacket and old blanket and I am looking for a seamstress to make me a new one.
The way I look at it, is something may not be very low in price, but if it is very durable and will last a long time, then it's still common man when you compare its price over its years of service, versus replacing the lower-end item. The only things that defy this is surplus items, but that is because taxpayers paid the upfront cost, you're just paying a low price to get it back, so to speak.
Hey Dave,very happy to see the yurt series is back online. I am currently reading "Undaunted Courage", a book that chronicles the Lewis & Clark Expedition. I found it interesting that Meriwether Lewis actually carried an early air rifle with him, and used to demonstrate it to the Indians. What are your thoughts on using a modern air rifle as a "21st Century Long-hunter" option? Ammo is more compact, lighter and cheaper than .22 LR. Quieter operation could also be an advantage when stalking game
@Nacholibre1968 don't forget that the only thing you need to make/find is lead balls -rather than 'bullets', powder, primers and shell casings... so that would be another plus!
Dave, I love these videos man. Each one gives me good ideas of the things that i could use to make things easier when I go out into the wilderness. On a different note, my Grandmother who I never really knew while growing up used to work at the Springfield Armory back in the day...to bad she never brought her work home with her. I would have loved to own some of those rifles that she worked on.
I put the ECWS II Parka over the Boreal Shirt and it was freaking unbelievable. They are almost the exact same length and hood size. You need to be in pretty cold conditions with rain or it will really heat you up.
I carry 6 AAA Batteries and a smal tampon for firelighting in a film canister. Its a perfect fit and waterproof. Just a cheap alternative to that batteryholder.
CZE did take over manufacture in conjunction with springfield. most M-6 you will find is a CZE/springfield. if you find a millitary M-6 with a 14" barrel and chambered in .22 hornet/.410 then expect to pay the high cost for that item...it is very rare. the older M6 can go from 7-- to 1200 bucks.
mine was 350 because it is a CZE/Springfield chambered in .22 lr. this is by far the most common M6 you will find. how this helps you out when talking about rarity/cost
you should come to the wannemacher gun show in Tulsa, its huge 11 acres of guns knives and etc over 4100 tables. Also I've seen M6 scouts for sale there, you see any gun you ever wanted to buy there. its on march 31st and april 1st.
if you go to their website they have pictures of the show, it'll put the 1500 to shame, you can find their site by typing wannemacher gun show into google.(easiest way to get you there) I hope you decide to come, it would be awesome to meet you.
dave your a busy man but ty for your hard work i really enjoy your videos especially this series ,i got some ideas and ive made some jonny cakes and some hard tack gonna make a trip to basspro in a couple weeks in fort worth gonna pick up some more cast iron and look for some single shots while im there
easily. Maybe that would be something for you to experiment with in a video sometime? I look forward to continuing to watch your programs. Thanks! It's been a lot of help.
Hey dave, regarding the shirt. I've always been told that 100% is always better, but are there any real draw backs or disadvantages to an 85/15? Im real interested in the shirt, i think its awesome, and it'd be nice to know the real reason spending that bit extra is more beneficial. Please respond :)
Dave, I have been watching the programs for a while now. I live in Cincy, so we are almost neighbors. The Yurt series got me thinking about a common man emergency shelter for my wife and I. I'm thinking that using a 10' x 20' tarp with a reflective liner (like the blue ones Walmart usually has) to make a tipi might work really well because then we can make a fire inside if it's cold. All we could need to carry would be the tarp and paracord. We could recreate the poles fairly... Continued...
I have, and prefer the Savage 24V over/under .223 over 12 gauge. It makes a great varmint gun, and I have taken deer with it as well. It is a very accurate gun even with just the iron sights, although I have scoped it in the past.
@dreckken cheaper to make the blend, so they do, not much difference in it's performance as long as you have at least 85% wool content and the blend contains no cotton.
@dreckken ha no kidding. If you go on ebay and spend some time looking you can find 100% wool blankets (washable), shirts, hats, gloves. I just picked up a couple of US army blanks 100% wool (25% or 35% recycled wool). I also washed them in the washer and dried them in the dryer. Don't buy the propoleyne shirts too thick and something disturbing about buying something that says "Retarded Citizens".
I own that same bullet mold ! Grandpa found it in his shed. Certainly a good piece of gear. Also you talking about the M6 being made in Czech...you obviously have never owned a CZ rifle.. the craftsmanship and quality is twice the price the rifle demands. the 452-455 series of rimfire rifles are nearly anschutz quality for much less of the cost.
I've been looking for an M6 Scout for forever and a day, and just can't seem to find one. I got to the point of desperation and called Springfield to ask if they had any intention of bringing it back because of it's recent popularity. They simply told me not at this time nor anytime in the near future. I hope they realize how much money they are losing.
I've said it a few times before. Check out a company called Toggi. they make insanely well made wool shirts for sea downers. I have one and I'm really sorry I didn't purchased a few when I had the chance. They're not the cheapest shirts out there. Mine cost me 40+$ (new) but it's the best thing I own.
@rogerpemberton Well I bought mine in London at Covent garden. There as a really good store there for sailors and basically sea stuff. The store is called Nauticalia and they have a lot of really good things. For instance, that one eye monocular that NutNFancy once reviewed and costs about 120$ in America actually costs 10£ in that store!! I kid you not! They also have really thick heavy duty wool coats but those are expensive, above the 100£ mark etc. Check their website.
@BravingTheOutDoors I just did. They do have some nice wool sweaters(jumpers?), etc...and they are surely expensive. I'll keep Nauticalia in mind if/when I have a hankering for something really expensive and from my genetic homeland.....
I want one of those shirts so bad. I am a very common man. My strategy for getting these.higher end items is around christmas and birthday having everyone chip in 10 or so bucks for something I want. Depending on how popular you are you can end up with nice items like these.a.couple times a year a gb axe for birthday and one of these.shirts for christmas? No problem! Not to mention good ole fashioned saving up!
Have you considered a box of .410 bore golden bear 3" shotshells. They have metal casings unlike the plastic you get with the regular .410 shotshells. You could Also use .454 Casull Brass. They are worth it if you plan on reloading your own survival rifle in the field. O and I am sure you know but for the other people out there, Don't shoot .454 Casull full loads threw your .410 shotgun, It might blow up. I just picked up a heritage rough rider chambered in .45 long colt and .410 shotshell.
$195,Lester River Bushcraft.100% wool. worth the price for sure but if i can't scrape up the money i may make my own out of wool army blankets or any wool blanket i can find.but i know i can never make it this nice. very nice peice of gear and worth getting.
lol dave ill be sad when your yurt series ends lol i would love to have a yurt on a piece of property like that everybody seems to think im weird cause everybody i know wants money and to be rich and live in a big house and stuff like that so they think im wierd cause id be just fine and dandy living in a cave or a yurt or something similar if i could find a place like your property but i think i would rather build a yurt then buy one but as far as my family is concerned im just a neandorthol
Dave I like the Military wool shirt's, I been looking for the acrylic sleep shirts. I didn't know they made them in wool. I would like to see a review on the old Savage 24 O/U 410 or 20 GA. under a .22 LR or WMR. I wish they would start to make them again.
I was at a local used gun store / auction house the other day asking about the over under .22/410 gauge gun. I was told that a .22/20 gauge and .22/12 gauge were also made (probably the other gauges of shotgun too. the manufacture was savage model 24 series s. They are not as compact as the m6 scout but you might be interested in them.
@BookGolem I remember drooling over a friends Savage over and under 22/410 when I was a little kid 40 years ago. I can't understand why they quit making cool guns like that.
Dave I'm really curious and interested in your school when you come to Florida this Feb. I read on your website what the class consists of but I have a couple more questions, if I message you them would you have time to answer? Thanks.
That Boreal shirt has got to be one of the coolest pieces of clothing I've seen. What size is the one you're wearing, Dave? Looks like they might run a bit large. Gotta pick one of those up, and it looks like I can get one here in MN.
Hi Dave. Greetings from Czech and thank you for all these informations you spred.

oh yeah, about the buckshot mold, you'll need leather gloves or to put wooden handles on it so not to burn yourself, those gun bag molds heat up insanely quick, like on the 2nd or 3rd ball. it's tedious too, molding 9 balls just for one shot. for birdshot, you can take a spoonful of lead and drop it from standing height into a bucket of water, it makes it a bit roughly, but it works.

I have one of those Empire Wool and Canvas 100% wool Boreal shirts. I have to totally agree with your assesment of it. It is the finest garment I own. It was 5 degrees here in New Hampshire, and I wore a sweater, a 200 weight fleece jacket, and this boreal shirt (with all the ties pulled tight and the hood up), and I was toasty warm. It is worth every penny. They even custom sewed one for me to fit me perfectly for the same price.

Great video Dave. When I use wool on wool it seems I'm bombarded with "static electricity", how do you handle this? Or do you have this problem with wool?

@HBC258 You can stick a nail through the bottom of your boot to let the electricity flow through to the ground, but otherwise, if you're at all insulated from the ground, there will be an inevitable buildup.

@wildernessoutfitters Back in 1987 I was stationed in Hanau Germany and we were having 100% wool liners made and sewn into the old green style rain jackets by a Korean Seamstress. Those things were the bomb for staying warm. They would sew in pockets for maps and pens and other things on the inside that were very handy where ever you wanted them. I have since lost the one I had made but now have an old rain jacket and old blanket and I am looking for a seamstress to make me a new one.

Re: Common Man prices
The way I look at it, is something may not be very low in price, but if it is very durable and will last a long time, then it's still common man when you compare its price over its years of service, versus replacing the lower-end item. The only things that defy this is surplus items, but that is because taxpayers paid the upfront cost, you're just paying a low price to get it back, so to speak.

Hey Dave,very happy to see the yurt series is back online. I am currently reading "Undaunted Courage", a book that chronicles the Lewis & Clark Expedition. I found it interesting that Meriwether Lewis actually carried an early air rifle with him, and used to demonstrate it to the Indians. What are your thoughts on using a modern air rifle as a "21st Century Long-hunter" option? Ammo is more compact, lighter and cheaper than .22 LR. Quieter operation could also be an advantage when stalking game

CZE did take over manufacture in conjunction with springfield. most M-6 you will find is a CZE/springfield. if you find a millitary M-6 with a 14" barrel and chambered in .22 hornet/.410 then expect to pay the high cost for that item...it is very rare. the older M6 can go from 7-- to 1200 bucks.
mine was 350 because it is a CZE/Springfield chambered in .22 lr. this is by far the most common M6 you will find. how this helps you out when talking about rarity/cost

Dave, I have been watching the programs for a while now. I live in Cincy, so we are almost neighbors. The Yurt series got me thinking about a common man emergency shelter for my wife and I. I'm thinking that using a 10' x 20' tarp with a reflective liner (like the blue ones Walmart usually has) to make a tipi might work really well because then we can make a fire inside if it's cold. All we could need to carry would be the tarp and paracord. We could recreate the poles fairly... Continued...

Don't buy the propoleyne shirts too thick and something disturbing about buying something that says "Retarded Citizens".

For instance, that one eye monocular that NutNFancy once reviewed and costs about 120$ in America actually costs 10£ in that store!! I kid you not! They also have really thick heavy duty wool coats but those are expensive, above the 100£ mark etc. Check their website.

Have you considered a box of .410 bore golden bear 3" shotshells. They have metal casings unlike the plastic you get with the regular .410 shotshells. You could Also use .454 Casull Brass. They are worth it if you plan on reloading your own survival rifle in the field. O and I am sure you know but for the other people out there, Don't shoot .454 Casull full loads threw your .410 shotgun, It might blow up. I just picked up a heritage rough rider chambered in .45 long colt and .410 shotshell.
