Good vid Dave. I love sheath mods cause you're making something you would have on you even more useful. A tool should cover as many uses as you can cram into it. Swiss Army sheath brother
@pesarirooni62 Ranger bands are just cut up bicycle inner tube. Easy enough to make. Just take some scissors and cut sections off the end of the tube. If you don't ride a bike (shame on you), drop by a bike shop and see if they have punctured tubes they can give you.
Awesome mods to existing gear. That is all you would need in an emergency and that is the only piece of kit you would salvage. Sasquatch isn't that bad, but if you ran from a Squatch you could survive well.
OK I really do believe in Sasquatch, but I don't think I would need it. My belief does not equate fact.
The only guy I have saw that choice a real life machete for survive, I personally prefer it a little long because the snakes, but it is seroius survival choice,
can u imagine this guy trying to get through aussie customs hahaha lol have fun with that mate :P you should take all your shit with you and lay it out on the table for them... they'd put the swat team on your ass ... u cant get a bb gun through our customs, let alone a machette :)
@YoumodambaRUS Bear is a phoney who sleeps in a hotel room while filming. He was in the British Special Forces for just a few weeks when he broke his back.Never graduated.Yet he always mentions he was in Special Forces in all his videos.If you really want to survive in the wilderness....listen to Dave,not that phoney Bear.
@nerblebun I'm not traveler like many European and American people. I know how to survive in my area (south part of the country between Europe and Asia).
Just show with Bear have more action. Dual survive (not remember name of show) with many boring speaking.
Kcpatel144 WD40 does a great job cleaning tree sap, pine tar and all that crap off the blade. Just spray, let it soak in for about 20min and it all wipes right off
Nice job Dave. Another thing you can do that I did, the blade is about 1/2in shorter than the sheath so I drilled a hole and then strung a leg lanyard with para so it stays on my leg and don't flop all over
Bear grills is more of an extremist or a worst case and you can learn a lot from his shows may it be practical or extreme good vid though I want a good machete but I live in a canadian city and don't need much better than a $15 one from Canadian tire... Might as well get a good $60 survival knife and baton or use the master craft hatchet I carry everywhere
Amazing idea!, simple and very inexpensive but extremely useful and potentially life saving. Love the idea of a para-cord sling! hard to lose that in say a fall or have to ditch the pack scenario ....still have essentials Thanks Dave!!
@211vegan Your telling him to get a life when he is out in the woods having fun and your commenting on his video of how he doesn't have a life. Think it through dumbass.
I feel sorry for the ignorant little kids who have to make snotty remarks about Bear Grylls all the time when they hardly know anything about him; he served in the special forces, and fell 16,000 feet after his parachute failed to open and broke his back in 3 places. 18 months after recovering, he climbed Mount Everest (and broke the world record as the youngest person to do it)... even after all that, he still has the dedication to do what he loves the most in life
i was just watching discovery channel here in Australia, and i saw a show called dual survival. two minutes in i yelled "HOLY CRAP THATS DAVE" my mum yelled at me cus she was sleeping lol.
Im thinking of building a machete for my self, im planning to use blade springs from a pickup, and make a forge of sorts, then start punishing that steel into the shape of a machete, grind it down to a nice flat grind and I think of putting a convex edge on there... May take some while to get hold of the steel as for now I have only been waiting for it to come to me, which we all can agree that's not going to happen :), but I have time and eventually an offer will appear, from the guys i know.
The episode in which Bear Grylls drank elephant poop water was the day I finally got it.. his show is a comedy and he's a clown. Dave is very real by comparison and I don't expect to ever see him drinking elephant poop water.
If u live I'n Vermont around the northern part of it u should work at kendle farm a teach us all these skills and have classes u would be my favorite teacher
Lesson learned: dont grab any old bicycle tube. To go around your Machete sheath, you will need a larger one, more like a mountain bike tube. Great Stuff Dave!
@CrawfosGear Just Comparing the shows alone. Dave Won when He Killed the Gator. That's Bad ass. Bear Grylls Just Does Stupid Stuff that's great For Television. I heard a Joke on a chat room. If Bear Grylls was Stuck on a Sky Scraper, He'd Strip down Jump off, and use his Urine To Break His fall. and that Just about Sums him Up. Dave here. all those Chuck Norris jokes are really about him.
Hey Dave, I just want to say I love the show! You and Cody are awesome! I also have done something similar to what you have done, but with hunting knives.
Great and usefull video man !.... what stones do you use to sharp the machete or the knives? maybe a video showing how to do that in the wild where you dont have always a sharpening stone....
@Dallas387 dont buy anything at walmart. get off a well trusted store or website or order directly from the maker. walmart's machete is in all honesty one of the worst tools ive ever owned. save your money and get a good one, because it could mean the difference between life and death.
Hi, if somebody can tell me something, what is a ranger band?, I'm not from USA, I read around 20 reviews talking about putt rager band on the sheath. Thanks
@TheCommando962011 cool didnt know that. I'm just trying to learn new things. I used to be into the outdoors and I might end up going to the oh so fun q course. Plus knowledge is power.
hey dave! just noticed in the Brazil episode on Dual Survival that the machete you were using was an ESEE! i recently just got an ESEE 5 and have LOVED IT. just curious as to what you think of the ESEE machete? i mean...lifetime warranty no questions asked from ESEE is pretty worth it!
If you want a more reliable handle on that ontario, there is a simple mod. The scales on the standard ontario machetes kind of suck to be honest. I have cracked one off and it seems to be a common issue with them, just the nature of the design and material. The D-guard ones are injection molded and all I did was cut my D-guard off with a small hacksaw and rounded the bit off with a sponge sanding block to give it a rounded shape. Anyways, nice vid man!
These mods combined with the mods by "colhane" give you the ability to make a custom machete fit to your own personal wants and needs and out perform overpriced commercial "customs" (i.e. blind horse knives machete,$110?).
thanks for this vid, it gave me a really good idea for my setup. i will use two thin ranger bands to fix a diamond rod to my sheath and so solve the problem with sharpening in the field (i like to move my blade across the sharpener and not vice-versa like you do with the machete, so the problem was how to fix the rod).
I have the same Machete and sheath.. and im sitting at home rightnow, trying my hardest to stretch bike tire tube over the sheath.. and wow.. super hard.. Lol. Props to you dave for getting more than one section on there... cause after i get one on... im just going to deal with having ONE little pocket.. haha.
@arthurlafave I haven't done it... yet., but if your tube section is longer than a few inches, you could just use one tube and cut slits in it for your additional pockets. Just use one long section.
@RavenZ27 Thats what i ended up doing... just one long piece of tube.. and folded it over once.... so i ended up with two pockets on each side... four all together.. It worked out good.. they are sturdy, and wont let things fall out... i cant wait to get out this spring and use the gear now :D
@arthurlafave What brand of machete do you use? I've used the super cheap junk ones and have also used an excellent one that my brother has, but we don't know what brand it is, as it was purchased from a surplus store and was a gift. I am in the market and have narrowed it down to either purchasing an Ontario or a spring steel one from Cold Steel. I don't have experience with either, but am looking for some first-hand knowledge. Any input?
@RavenZ27 I started off with a Tractor supply chopsaw Machete... and the one i have now is the Ontario.. just like daves.. but its not the saw back.. and i LOVE it... its a GREAT buy... and an awesome tool... i would of course say pick that one up if you can.. for how well they are, there not badly priced.. I picked mine up at an Army Surplus store... but you can find them everywhere... infact... daves Wildernessoutfitters website has them for sale, same for The Canteen shop.. :D
@ofsjason I agree dave... ive been trying to figure it out too.. Lol.
So far i have 12ft of rope wrapped, and tied on it... to make a think sort of sling to go over my shoulder. It works good.. and i was able to keep all 12ft in one section. that way if i need to use it.. i have a long length.
I used black rope for tying boats to docks. It has a very high breaking point, so its strong, im sure you could climb with it.. "at your own risk/if there was no other choices"
hey dave! you do know that the black thing on the rim of the sheath is a sharpener right?? why carry an extra one that adds weight to your system? you could add a mora knife in place and keep both sharp?
Dave i have found that normal 'non applicator' type womens tampons make really good tinder they are tightly packed and have a fair wack of cotton wool in them plus they are already packed waterproof and dont take up much space in a fire kit.thanks so much for the videos you are an inspiration...come to the uk please!
Wow, I can't help but wonder why the folks at BCUSA are so jealous of Dave?? He's in the corner of the common man. He IS a common man. And he continues to BE a common man even with all his deserved success. He continues to put on survival courses where he teaches directly. What's the problem here?? Go figure..
I just purchased an Ontario Machete (12") and this video was very helpful. In fact, I watched the Colhane video first but found some of Dave's improvements very useful as well.
I like how you sharpen the other(second) side better than the first. Sharpening the first side like you did looked awfully dangerous and asking for injury.
hey dave, completely un related to the machete, but id like to ask a quick question. i have bad 2 bows from aspen and they both broke after not verry much use. am i just not making the bow right or is aspen not a good wood for a bow??
i grew up around hatchets and double-bits but have been using variety of machetes for fence clearing since mid eighties. without a doubt machete is the more multi-use tool, its very hard to find an indigenous group of people that dont employ some type of machete/large knife. prefer to use re-profiled coldsteel kukri, ontarios are good but brittle, have had two shear off catastophically with hard use
its getting cold how come your not growing your hair for winter, i do a seasonal haircut shift evey year. you need a little camera umbrella, pointy end for the ground.
too bad that sheath doesnt have a top stopper i could serve as water capture and storage in an emergency.

I have the same Machete and sheath.. and im sitting at home rightnow, trying my hardest to stretch bike tire tube over the sheath.. and wow.. super hard.. Lol. Props to you dave for getting more than one section on there... cause after i get one on... im just going to deal with having ONE little pocket.. haha.

@arthurlafave I haven't done it... yet., but if your tube section is longer than a few inches, you could just use one tube and cut slits in it for your additional pockets. Just use one long section.

@RavenZ27 Thats what i ended up doing... just one long piece of tube.. and folded it over once.... so i ended up with two pockets on each side... four all together.. It worked out good.. they are sturdy, and wont let things fall out... i cant wait to get out this spring and use the gear now :D

@arthurlafave What brand of machete do you use? I've used the super cheap junk ones and have also used an excellent one that my brother has, but we don't know what brand it is, as it was purchased from a surplus store and was a gift. I am in the market and have narrowed it down to either purchasing an Ontario or a spring steel one from Cold Steel. I don't have experience with either, but am looking for some first-hand knowledge. Any input?
RavenZ27 10 months ago
@RavenZ27 I started off with a Tractor supply chopsaw Machete... and the one i have now is the Ontario.. just like daves.. but its not the saw back.. and i LOVE it... its a GREAT buy... and an awesome tool... i would of course say pick that one up if you can.. for how well they are, there not badly priced.. I picked mine up at an Army Surplus store... but you can find them everywhere... infact... daves Wildernessoutfitters website has them for sale, same for The Canteen shop.. :D

Dave, you should show us how you did the climbing rope with the slipknots :D
ofsjason 10 months ago
@ofsjason I agree dave... ive been trying to figure it out too.. Lol.
So far i have 12ft of rope wrapped, and tied on it... to make a think sort of sling to go over my shoulder. It works good.. and i was able to keep all 12ft in one section. that way if i need to use it.. i have a long length.
I used black rope for tying boats to docks. It has a very high breaking point, so its strong, im sure you could climb with it.. "at your own risk/if there was no other choices"
thanks for the videos dave!

hey dave! you do know that the black thing on the rim of the sheath is a sharpener right?? why carry an extra one that adds weight to your system? you could add a mora knife in place and keep both sharp?

Dave i have found that normal 'non applicator' type womens tampons make really good tinder they are tightly packed and have a fair wack of cotton wool in them plus they are already packed waterproof and dont take up much space in a fire kit.thanks so much for the videos you are an inspiration...come to the uk please!

Wow, I can't help but wonder why the folks at BCUSA are so jealous of Dave?? He's in the corner of the common man. He IS a common man. And he continues to BE a common man even with all his deserved success. He continues to put on survival courses where he teaches directly. What's the problem here?? Go figure..
I just purchased an Ontario Machete (12") and this video was very helpful. In fact, I watched the Colhane video first but found some of Dave's improvements very useful as well.

I like how you sharpen the other(second) side better than the first. Sharpening the first side like you did looked awfully dangerous and asking for injury.

hey dave, completely un related to the machete, but id like to ask a quick question. i have bad 2 bows from aspen and they both broke after not verry much use. am i just not making the bow right or is aspen not a good wood for a bow??

The "Colhane" machete modification is pretty sweet. Good job making a kit with it.

i grew up around hatchets and double-bits but have been using variety of machetes for fence clearing since mid eighties. without a doubt machete is the more multi-use tool, its very hard to find an indigenous group of people that dont employ some type of machete/large knife. prefer to use re-profiled coldsteel kukri, ontarios are good but brittle, have had two shear off catastophically with hard use

its getting cold how come your not growing your hair for winter, i do a seasonal haircut shift evey year. you need a little camera umbrella, pointy end for the ground.
too bad that sheath doesnt have a top stopper i could serve as water capture and storage in an emergency.
