I gotta say, I started watching your videos when I was in a low place. I didn't really like the guy I was, didn't like the way I lived either. Never knew much about bushcraft or any of that, but watching the videos and learning, getting out in the woods started to help. Now because of my exposure to your school and lessons, I've become the kind of young man I'm proud to say I am. You introduced me to woodcraft, which has to have been the healthiest thing in my life besides my faith itself. Cheers Dave, may the wind be at your back and the road rise to meet you.

As a scoutmaster I appreciate the creation of this video for useful woodcraft projects. Some of the woodcarving and crafting projects within the scouting program are useless or lame. This is a great place for a scout to start, along with the corresponding safety videos. This will be the program for our next troop campout.

I agree with the kid beneath me I was lost an alcoholic not doing anything with my life. Then I saw Dual Survival AMD it changed my life for the better. I have watched all the survival shows but dual survival and dirty rotten survival are by far my favorite. Thank you for saving my life Dave cheers.

I like that simple trap trigger! I’ve seen others that are good, but overly complicated. This makes sense. A guy can make, and carry, a gaggle of these, and set them, and carry them for other locations. BINGO! Courtesy of Half Vast Flying

Thanks for giving ideas to do with the kids

Excellent projects for my nephews first time out in the woods, this spring i cant wait to begin teaching him how to survive and thrive all on his own.

Should come in handy for people wanting to improve their skills, thank you Dave

this is going to be a great series. dvd worthy.

This is good stuff as usual Dave. Good to hear there are scout masters that watch your stuff. My son is a boy scout and I try to encourage him to watch your videos. I also encourage the leaders of our troop to watch as well. I sure wish you had more influence on the BSA and the scout masters as to the benefits and advantages of certain fixed blade knives for the boys. They act like they are the most dangerous things in the world. A flimsy pocket knife that you have to open and close or set down every time you need to use it is more dangerous than a 3 to 4 inch Mora 510 or Mora companion that you can sheath quickly, safely, and often . One of these two knives should be the standard carry for boy scouts.

Good job Dave. I like that Mora. I trim that finger guard off of 511's after 510's were discontinued. Keep 'em coming. Thanks

This is a start of a good series

These are great projects for scouts! Thanks so much for all your great videos.

Daves using a Mora 510 in this video,it's one of my favourite Moras,Thanks for this video Dave 👍

David, thank you for *all* your time and hard work on the videos... My family love to watch them! God bless man, keep up the good work!

Thanks Dave. Ill do some of this week.

Trying to figure a good way to start teaching my daughter how to use a knife.... this was loads of help. Love the videos and books... keep it up

Awesome video Dave. You are the best!

Thanks for posting this Dave, saw it on the Mora group and have been talking about teaching some of this in our Trail Life USA troop. Wishing you well in the new year.

That's a great idea for entry level work!

Great video Dave! Huge fan

Outstanding

Appreciate all your advice on any aspects of trapping (even just a simple trigger). It wasn't acceptable to one of my parents though that parent gave me my appreciation of nature (one of the best gifts a parent can give). It's left that subject a little daunting in adulthood but I'll get there!

love the video. your a great teacher

Ok sounds good. Might have to do all of these projects and record them and put them on my channel.

Love your videos, this will be very useful!

nice brother tank you im learning

this is a great idea Dave, maybe you could apply it to black smithing or other things aswell

good project vid! What to winter craft solved.

Sweet!

Steam bent tongs, that's so cool. Where I come from that Frog gig would be for catching Eels, in fact I think I would rather eat Eel than Frog (not that Frog is bad but smoked Eel is soooo good :)

This Scout Master says, thank you.

Some things to do next time out. I just subscribed.

I had a notification that you put out a video. i click on it and it takes me to this video. when I got here it showd up I was unsubscribed. I have been subscribed sense 2011-2012. this pisses me off as youtube has done this to me with other channels. thanks Dave.

U R D Best

A Little offtopic, but ma be of interest : Inspired by this videos I bought myself a Mora buscraft black. Happy about the 90° spine, wich feels really good, I grabbed my Ferro rod an was about to throw some nice sparks, far far away. But that spine does NOT work with that. At least one side. If I use it left handed it works all right. But not as good as I expected considering how "sharp" the spine feels. The spine of my Gerber Prodigy feels totally dull compared with te one of the "buscraft black", but it throws "Ferro-rod-sparks" much better. Is that weired, or what ... ? Í don´t get it ! Apparently the 420 HC stainless steal is harder than the Mora - "high-carbon"-steel.

I lost your video on knives used by lewis and clark. One was named "cartouche". I am from Quebec and it translate's to bullet casing. Regards

I'm new to all this. What kind of cord is that? Doesn't look like paracord. Anything in particular? Thanks

what do you think of ka-bar Becker? for a all around knife backed up by a Mora?

What is the best bushcrafting knife in your opinion?

First. good video by the way

clothespins. Need I say more? lol
