Can we take a second to appreciate what an effective educator Dave is? Not just in substance but in style. His teaching skills are a craft unto their own.

I never saw my dad without having a two bladed pocket knife. He had a small sharpening stone on a small table near his easy chair and his knife blades appeared to have lost a lot of metal from sharpening. I’d like to add that in the highly technical world we live in today, I haven’t seen anyone with as much detail knowledge of his craft as Dave.

Fantastic video Dave. Really helps put into perspective what our intentions are heading into nature and what tools allow us to enjoy and be most productive with what limited time we have.

Crafting stuff is where it's at! Love sitting in the woods by the fire relaxing and just making stuff.

Nice to see you mention Ben Orford, one the UKs finest knife makers, check out some of his knives, they are works of art, he's super talented, and his wife Lois does superb leather work for the sheaths, and he is also a really genuinely nice guy.

Years ago, I had a friend that was a gun show vendor. One show he had a old nail keg full of axe and hatchet heads. At $2 a pop I had to dig through them. I found a old hatchet head of the type used in factories for wooden crates. One of the claws was broken. But, I didn't care. I took the other off with a cutoff wheel. This left me with a hardened poll. A single bevel blade, like a broadax. I fitted it with a framing hammer handle. It's one of the handiest tools I carry. It's very similar in size and profile to your axes.

DEFINITELY one of your more informative and concise videos. Lengthy videos are fine when there's informational or entertainment value. Great content. 👍🏽

I have always enjoyed your work Dave!

Thanks Dave. Educational and entertaining. I can't believe that was 38 minutes!

These 'long' show n' tells from a pro are my favourites. A 'conversation' that induces me to look over my entire kit... and look forward to getting back out there.

That forged awl and draw knife look great. Wish I could get them in Canada

One of the very most important tools you can have are lineman's pliers and wire for quickly making and fastening wood together. From shelter to the homemade bed and everything you need you will use them over and over and will be one of your most used tools

2nd time watching this video, had to take notes for my bushcrafting-wood carving wishlist! Outstanding video and I loved the axe rant! Thank you Dave!

Thank you for continuing to take the time and effort to share your knowledge! I know many of us are super grateful for that! 🙏

When I car camp, I bring a small canvas tool bag that holds a knife, axe, folding saw, hammer, adjustable wrench, pliers, rope/cord/twine, carabiners, multi-tool, knife/axe sharpener, ferro rod and cotton tinder as a minimum. This doesn’t change much when I’m bike-camping, but of course I also carry bike specific tools. I also have a carving multi-tool if I think I want/need to use it I like the idea of a folding saw with different blades. A nice way to reduce weight and add functionality. PS - I appreciate the thank you’s to the community at the end of every one of your videos. It makes it real and personal, not commercialized.

This was crazy informative! Every time he was talking about a tool or an edge of a blade I kept thinking "will he explain why?" and before I could finish my thought there he was explaining! Great video, well worth a watch. Thank you, sir for the information in its abundance.

It is to Dave Canterbury & Les Stroud I owe my ongoing love of this stuff. I’m calling it right now for either Dual Survival 2.0 with Les n Dave OR “Survivormen” Why someone hasn’t thrown a few mill behind such an obvious hit …is a mystery. They’re the two most beloved professionals and have the strongest diehard fan bases Who, here, wouldn’t set their calendars to watch Dave n Les take on the outdoors? And we wouldn’t need phony amplified “differences” either. Both men ROCK

I was so captivated by your teaching prowess,I'd have sweared this vid only lasted 15 minutes tops! Many Thanks Dave,Cheers!!

Great information like always. The length was appropriate for the topic. Thank you for the information.
