Fantastic as always !!

The awl was really interesting, when stone age tool finds are told about there are always an awl found. I have to consider that in future.

A very useful tool that not many consider is a medium sized cooking pot. A good cooking pot can be used for preparing meals, sanitizing water, digging, carrying water etc. And it will last practically forever. I could live comfortably in a temperate wooded zone for a very long time with only a knife, an axe and a cooking pot.

Surprised you didn't mention a folding shovel, especially the army type that can lock at 90 degrees. An invaluable tool for digging rocks, edible roots, holes for shelter/traps, dirt/moss for improving shelter, moving coals/ hot rocks from the fire.

Dave, thank you for this video. It validates, what I have learned from you over the years.

When I was in scouts we were taught a similar thing.

I love Dave's videos! They are incredibly educational and full of priceless information. Thank you so much for what you do Dave! You are an awesome example. God bless you & yours!!!

No bs. Only solid information. Good to watch your videos Dave!

Awesome intel! Thanks for sharing Dave!

Thanks again Dave! I'm saving up to go to some of your classes next year.

Your tool choice's are perfect for each area of the environment that your in Dave Canterbury.👍☘️😎

Thank You, for passing on the knowledge. Reading your new book now, and find it enjoyable and a must have in my collection. God Bless

Thanks David, I just bought your 101 book and looking forward to practicing some of your techniques. More for hobby and to develop skills and reconnect with nature as I explore the Catskills :)

Hey Dave this may be a dumb suggestion, but for a long term tool, how about a decent size drawknife? Stripping logs for a long term shelter, making larger wooden tools, bows etc. As for Saws Silky saws are by far the best I have seen.

Congrats on the DVD series Dave, looking forward to watching it. Appreciate your knowledge and willingness to share it!

So, Chop, Saw, Cut, Carve and Punch. I like it, easy to remember.

A very good and informative video, thank you this. One thing I did learn from an old documentary that was made - Alone in The Wilderness, which is a true story - is to take the tool heads that you are going to use - such as an Ax or tomahawk head - and then make the handles when you get to where you are going - not an emergency, just a long term camping - so the weight will be much less than with the tools complete. One other thing you could do, you may have suggested it about the bow saw, would be to make it out of PCV pipe and have all the parts stored in the long pipe with the two ends capped off. Again, thank you for a great video and all the information you have given us over the years.

Great information. I live in the Pacific Northwest so it's an axe, hip knife, awl, carving knife and a bucking saw. The first five items you mentioned is what I have.

Hello Dave!

The very simple thank you for all you for our business and family that you express at the end of every video is refreshing. So many KZreadrs should follow your example of humility.
