  • Go Dave!

  • Alright Dave, I just wanted to thank you for all your videos and all the effort you put in teaching people over the internet about self reliance and survival..

    You must have been asked this a few times but I haven't found any info about this: Are you planning to come to the UK in the near future? I'm thinking about 2012 or 2013. If you are, could you please inform us via video or newsletter please? I'm sure you are as popular here as in the USA.

    I'm a Hungarian bushcrafter living in the UK.:)

  • Thanks Dave and best wishes for all the courses, gatherings and events your taking part in.

    Stay say and well.

  • Thanks, Dave. I appreciate all that you do!! I filled our stockings this Christmas from cool stuff from your site. God bless you and your family. John

  • As `back2dabasix` said you are an inspiration keep up the good work you have a good following in Australia and i imagine around the world, so Thank you.

  • I'd like to bring my two kids (12 and 14) to all of your Pathfinder classes. If it's just one parent bringing two and the first youth is free, is the second full price?

  • Dave are you doing a 3rd season of dual survival

  • Dave are you doing a 3rd season of dual survival for discovery?

  • Thank Dave love the vids help out a lot

  • Hey Dave, got a question: You have any suggestions for all-around boots? I'm looking for something that would be quiet & durable, preferably something that doesn't stand out in towns & cities, hopefully for $100- $200 dollars. Found something that seems like it would do that, but it's $330 (Russell Moccasins- don't know why it's call a "moccasin" it looks more like a hiking boot). Anybody else have any ideas?

  • thank you for all the help and tips to help make life easy and make it possible to survive much easyer :)

  • That was a really cool thing to say Dave. And though thank you is not needed, it is appreciated. It shows that you are grateful for us and our support (support which you have for good, my friend). There is not one single person on youtube that I fully support besides yourself. Thank you for all the effort and all the concern for us strangers out here. God bless you in many ways and keep you and your family safe.

  • Dave, we missed you at the SHOT Show this year. I was hoping to see you there.

  • dave, the knife you mentioned in the comments here, is it a BLINDHORSE model?

  • Hey Dave, today i was really surprised, when my girlfriend called me to the TV, because on our polish Discovery channel was a program "Dual Survival", which she thought could be interesting for me. And i couldn't believe my eyes, it was you in there walking through the snow :) I just know you from your Journal of the Yurt, but you seem to be really a TV star :) Greetings from Poland

  • Super cooler Hut

  • Hi Dave You don't know me just a viewer but I've been watching all your videos and they are awesome. You brother, are very inspiring. ive been watching your videos for about a year now including dual survival and they brilliant. I would like to say thank you dave for showing the art of self reliabce

  • :(

  • Dave, it has been said but I will say it again, your humbleness and charity are second to none. It is we who thank you for all that you do. There are not many like you in the world today, and you deserve all the good fortune that comes your way. May God Bless you and keep you in all that you do. From the bottom of my families hearts to you, Thank you.

  • Dave Have you looked into The Dixie Deer Classic here in NC. You have a lot of fans here in the Tar heel state that would come out and support you. Its one of the largest expo's in the south.

  • do you have a video on how to use a gutting hook knife? just got one, so i was wondering how to properly use it.

  • How do I get started with this wilderness stuff? I want to learn how to kill bears and stuff. 

  • @out0fstepxxx are you completely retarded or what?!

  • @tekknorat What, are you like actually scared of bears or something?

  • @out0fstepxxx /facepalm

  • Nice to hear you're still grounded Dave. Made me smile. (UK newbie bushcrafter)

  • no journal of the yurt ahhhhhhhhhhh !!!! just kidding but you will be missed bro take care and looking forward to more videos

  • anybody know what Ice means?

  • What's days will you be at the Indiana Boat Sport and Travel show. Will you have a booth there? I'd love to check out some of your products. Very interested in getting ahold of some Pathfinder school products.

  • @Billcrowe2000 I will be doing the Deer and Turkey Expo Portion in that building I think 4 days

  • Make that money Dave! Dont worry about the videos man, your fans will always be here. Taking care of yourself and your family ensures more videos in the long run. God bless sir.

  • Jantz supply also has the stuff to make your own Sheath. for leather to hard plastic.So to you guy that are on a tight budget. now you can build your self a excellent survival knife

  • Hay Dave I hope you don't mind me share something on your sight.I have been wanting a good knife to carry in the woods. and every where i look for a good quakity knife the prices are way above my budget. so i thought how hard can it be to make my own knife. will i found a lot of web sight that sale kinfe making kit for every liitle money.If I may one sight is kinfekitcom. and the other is Jantz supply everything one need to make a knife. they even hav carbon steel

  • @mogges1 Knifekit.com has some excellent kits and steel, very nice prices also.

  • @mogges1 We have a New Knife comming out in the next couple weeks, 5" 01TS Micarta Handles 100.00 Good Common man and nice knife for sure.

  • Comment removed

  • @mogges1 Hey man don't forget about the quality knives such as the Mora or the Cold Steel Bushman. These are quality knives for less than $20, and will last you. Check out some of Dave's older videos - you'll find videos of him promoting the Mora and similar tools. That may put some of your trust in these fine knives. I own an Mora 840mg and am VERY happy.

  • @mogges1

    Contact me, I can help you out with making your own knife for relatively cheap, or I can make you one. On Facebook, STKR Knives, we can go from there. I like helping people make their own knives with minimal gear, I recommend that approach really, your soul enters the blade and the knife becomes part of you. ;)

  • Dave for President! This country could use a common man approach.hahahah

  • Dave, you are the man.

  • Thanks for remembering.

  • Thank you for doing this, Dave

  • @wildnernessoutfitters, I hope you will consider filming and uploading your seminar on the use of the Pathfinder School's pocket hunting system.

  • Do not mean to sound rude here but.can we keep the politics off here. We have enough on YouTube and the TV.I would like to come to one place where Politics keeps out

  • only someone who is ex-military could have the time management to get everything done that you do dude.

    great videos on here mate and cant wait for the next season of DS

  • Winter survival training in Michigan, good timing for it we hit 7 degree's last night and it's 15 degree's right now. Good luck and stay warm : )

  • Thanks Dave, see you guys in the Spring.

  • You have provided me and my family with hours of knowledge and entertainment, you deserve all of the good fortune you have had and are likely to continue to get. Good luck with the upcoming events and we look forward to the upcoming videos. Keep up the good work,

    Matt and family

  • Thanks for the update Dave =D

  • Thanks for the 411 and for thanking us little people. Thankyou back and keep it up. You the man DAVE!

  • That common man mentality is why we are drawn to you, when you succeed, we all succeed, we are with you. We will never forget you, because you never forgot us. Thank you for teaching us and we look forward to your future and upcoming teachings.

  • I hope you are taking some pro photos of yourself and wilderness too. Also, would you make a quick video of making simple cross, small scale(Christian). Tx Tom

  • Hey Dave, there is only one regret that I have from following your channel, and that is that I did not discover it sooner! I greatly appreciate all the knowledge that you share with us and how much you care about the community. Watching your videos and many other great and knowledgeable you-tubers has helped me to discover my own love for the outdoors and the arts of survival and self reliance. Keep up the excellent work. I cant wait for the next video!

  • NOOOOOOOooooooo.......!!!

  • Thanks Dave.

  • Gonna kind of miss ya Dave,seeing ya everyday I kind of got used to. Your videos really mean alot to me and have helped greatly. Thanks brother--Sincerely Whispering Cloud.

  • Guess you can't talk about the shooting of Dual Survival season 3 ;)

    Or maybe that's shot all year round O.o

  • I believe you. That means a lot to me. :)

  • Dave, I think the consensus is that you do not need to thank us, we thank you! You have inspired myself as i am sure many many others. It is good to see that you are so humble, however; you have a plethora of information and skills that you share with all of us and that is something to be proud of! So again, Thank you Dave, For EVERYTHING!

  • @Back2DaBasix Well said Roger =D

  • How much extra are the bow making event?

  • I was wondering if you will be shooting any new episodes of Dual Survival?

  • hey Dave or anyone who can answer this just wondering what kind of gear we have to bring knife bag etc thanks.-Andrew

  • Thank you for sharing the knowledge, and its awesome that you remember "where you came from". I enjoy every video&learn from them. Thank you for taking the time to still make these videos I think everyone understands your busy, your unselfishness just rocks!

  • I'm a common man in NYC, and your teaching and personality have been a big part of the last few years for me. Thank you for all you have done and please keep it up.

  • sigma survival guys are great, nice work

  • Dang I'm watching Dave and Cody eat a porcupine! I'm getting hungry!

  • I take it it is going to be a while before you film more Dual Survival? That's a shame. I love your You Tube videos, but the banter between you and Cody really cracks me up.

  • I knew it was too god to last. Thank you thank you thank you for your efforts! It was great while it lasted. My only solace is that Dave and Cody are on Discovery now. God speed brother see you soon. Once again thank you!

  • So does this mean you are no longer shooting with the Discovery Channel in Dual Survival? I watched all the eps and even saved them on the DVR. If this has been answered in a previous video please excuse me, I must have missed it some how.

  • much appreciated Dave!! Your awesome, i never miss a youtube video

  • :)))

    

  • Too bad the world doesn't have more HONORABLE MEN like you Dave, there would be a whole lot less problems. Thank-you  and Miss Iris very much.

  • @wildernessoutfitters - What is your opinion on Russian shotguns such as the 12 gauge Baikal MP18?

  • I know everybody else is saying the same thing but I will say the same as well. These vid's ROCK Dude! I have learned a ton and your ideas have sparked a lot new ideas for me. You present a lot of uncommon common sense. Doin a lot with a little, having a lot of knowledge and less stuff is the way to go. Stay strong and keep up the good work!!

  • Your a class act Dave! You have earned the success. Great show.

  • I'm glad that you didn't just get popular via TV and never post another YouTube vid. This is where I feel you are at your best. Thank YOU for what you do for the community. (Not that I didn't like Dual Survival, as it is a great show)

  • Dave your doing great keep up the great work, and while your out doing what you have to with your job. That just gives us some help to better our skills that you have showns over the years.. Thank you

  • When are you filming?

  • Love ya Brother! Thanks for everything you do for all of us!

  • Nuh uh...I want videos! :(

  • Dave , you need to clone yourself to keep us all happy!!!!

  • Thanks for the update and it's great to hear that the buisness is going well. You deserve to make a living from this, your a great instructor. Just recieved confirmation for 2 tickets to the April class cant wait....

  • You are the one who deserves a "thank you" Dave!

  • @zerk54 Why??

    

  • @Mawogdawalldahonk It's an internet censorship bill.

  • @zerk54 Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), also known as House Bill 3261, yes I know what it is, even for an englishman, but I asked you why should Dave require it. Dave gives his information online for free.

  • dave , i think i speak for all of us when i say THANKS & WE APPRECAITE every thing you do , keep up the GREAT JOB on spreading the know how , we love ya brother

  • Thanks for all you do bro. And keeping it affordable for everyone!

  • Dave, did you change cameras and/or microphones? Your audio sounds more crisp, almost like a voice-over... a wireless rig perhaps? -rob

  • @rkaag99 HA! New Camera and Shotgun Mic, thanks for the input!

  • When people discuss favoritism between Les Stroud and Behr G, I throw out my arguments for Dave Canterbury. Les is always alone for a reason...nobody likes to hang with Les. Behr sleeps at the Hilton, enough said. Dave goes out and not only survives the situation, but he usually EATS better than any of the rest. Plus hes respectful and decent to people instead of acting like he has something to prove, unlike certain others. Dave, if I ever grow up, I want to be just like you!

  • You're welcome Dave, I think I speak for all your following when I say, thank YOU for all that you do for us!

  • Dave,Your going to one day have to have a whole staff of guys working for you.this pathfinder you started is Growing like mad brother.want be long you will not be able to keep up

  • Dave, you need to come out west, and do some classes. Like to Wyoming.

  • Loving the intro on this vid

  • dave you saying you remember where you came from and that place is youtube got me wondering what you think of pipa and sopa?

  • @juicedlemons Dont know what this is brother sorry?

  • @wildernessoutfitters it is very important to anyone whose primary business is generated from th internet. Need to google it ASAP!

  • @wildernessoutfitters It's really important Brother, so do a little research into it... Not good news I'm afraid.

  • @wildernessoutfitters SOPA is legislation that basicly will kill bloggers and anyone else that links copyrighted material to their sight or blog.  It will criminalize this with a few years in prison and fines.

  • @wildernessoutfitters SOPA/PIPA are potential new legislation that could drastically affect how information is spread and displayed on the internet. YouTube and other sites similar would definitely be affected. Since it's a political issue, any answer you openly give, will piss off some of the people, no matter what. But regardless, It's probably something you should at least be aware of.

    Search for "Stop Online Piracy Act" on Wikipedia and it should explain the gist of it well enough.

  • @wildernessoutfitters we appreciate everything you do for the common man dave,good luck and safe travels on all your ventures.

  • @wildernessoutfitters it's worth looking up. it's the first major move to allow internet cencorship under the guise of copyright infringment. also, thank you dave for getting me back into bushcraft! it had been about 10 years since i was in the boy scouts and you reminded me how much i love being outdoors for days at a time. i thank you for not only inspiring me to get back in the bushes but also having an awesome website and store.

  • @wildernessoutfitters its copy write laws that could in the extreme shut down youtube, cant see it happening myself, there it to much money being made off of youtube for them to let the site go belly up.

  • @wildernessoutfitters I know you are busy but you may want to make time to research sopa. It's some not so nice internet legislation that's floating around Congress.

  • @wildernessoutfitters Pipa and Sopa are bills the are just going to make the internet more strict.

  • @wildernessoutfitters PIPA and SOPA are bills that congress is trying to turn into law, basically they do away with internet free speech. Very bad medicine brother. You should definitely look into em.

  • @wildernessoutfitters

    SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) and PIPA (Protect IP Act) are some laws being put forward in the american legal system that you should be aware about. Check out a few youtube videos on it for info.

  • @juicedlemons The bill got canceled!! Yes!

  • Dave thanks for the update have a great time at your class this weekend.

  • Dave,

    Any chance for video highlights of the LEO training in Michigan? It'd be great to see from the civilian pov.  As always, mahalo for the videos.

  • You're one busy man. Much respect and returning the love for your closing remarks as well. :) Times are tough, but I will definitely be throwing some business your way the first chance I get, and I want you to know that because I work *really hard* for my money so like a lot of folks I don't part with it lightly- but I'm delighted to support guys like you.

  • So does that mean no duel survival?

  • This is to Dave do you ever teach survival hand to hand combat.

  • @mogges1 No I dont, I do have an Instructor at the Gathering teaching this from Innovative Tactical Concepts.

  • @wildernessoutfitters Dave, Be safe on your travels. My 13 yo son and 7 yo daughter watch every video you put on here. Seems like a normal thing now, my daughter ask everyday when she gets off the bus if you have a new video for that night.

  • thanks for all the great vids!!!

  • very impressive schedule....great teachings

  • wow i didnt know you had a class in Massachusetts! i live in mass! why did i jsut hear about this now!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

  • That's first class. It's good to hear that business is good for you. You've given much. It's nice to see it come back to you.

  • Way to go Dave, I,m glad that you tell us folks that are the silent majority in this country that you ain't going to Mother Earth us. Keep up great work and I enjoy your video's a lot. Semper Fi.

  • i love how he is humble and reiterates the fact that he is only one man fufilling lots of obligations. It goes without saying your true fans realize how hectic life can be and im sure i can speak for us all when i say we understand. I really do appreciate all that you do for us and im gonna start putting money back now for entry into the pathfinder gathering. hope i will be able to get the days off work! Im right here in SE Ohio myself. Enjoy the snow

  • Dave you are one solid ass dude bro stay gold!!!

  • Dave, I know this isn't really relevant to this video but I can't find anything about this topic. What are the advantages of wool over a sleeping bag. I would think that a sleeping bag would be lighter, warmer, and possibly waterproof?? (unless its down)

  • @willc243 When you sweat in synthetic material it gets wet and eventually will freeze over a few days to a week without being dried out which is not always possible. I am speaking of the insulkation absorbing moisture and freezing, hope I explained that well?

  • dave i admire your dedication to your following on youtube i was wondering your statement about people forgetting were they come from after getting popular on television is that directed to a certain co host no need to answer your too classy for that anyway

  • The more I watch you, the more I like you. Great message, Great person.

  • Dave, you don't owe anyone an explanation. Your as rock solid as they come. That being said, Thank You for all the great information!!!

  • great east tx im in katy tx that would be awesome thanks for the video god bless katy tx

  • More dual survival ;-)

  • Love this channel and everything you do, ive learned alot, i just wanted to thank you for all the videos you post because obviously you put alot of effort into keeping us all up to date. also i was just wondering where did you get that sweet winter hood you showed in the head gear video, i live in northern ontario canada and i would love to pick one of those up for some of those - 30 C days. thanks again

  • Dave, Are there any plans for classes in Texas (near Houston)?

  • @tdurden025 nope they have a new season for this year

  • @tdurden025 - Season 3 will be coming later this year. Be patient.

  • @steve51704000 Thanks, I hope you are right! I'm just concerned because it doesn't sound like he will be filming anytime soon.

  • My wife and I are hoping to join you for the spring gathering. How do the lodgings and such work? Do we bring our tent and such? GOD SPEED BROTHER

  • Success is earned by the worthy. Thanks for all you do Dave.

  • Why am I living in Europe :(

  • Cant wait for the spring Gathering!!! My son and I are trying to come, and how does the camp work, do we have tents, or are there lodges or something else?

  • I was looking on the site for a schedule of what classes are going to be help on what days and I can't seem to find it. If you get a chance will you post a link for the schedule of events for the pathfinder gathering please?
