Thanks, Dave! I carry a very similar belt pouch and load, but the chain and the round blanket/cloak pin (pennanular or Celtic/Viking/Roman style pin) were EXCELLENT additions. I was gifted a "gentleman's flint & steel", a chain, worn as an old fashion watch chain (with a smaller button hole version of the metal toggle you demonstrated on one end) affixed to a small "U" shaped fire steel on the other end and a wire bound flintlock flint set 6" or 8" back from the steel. It might just work with the addition of a hook or two for my pot, as well. After 40-ish years in primitive survival and bushcrafting and 25+ years _since_ I was into Buckskinning and Living History of the Fur Trade period, IT IS FANTASTIC TO COME ACROSS IDEAS I HAD NEVER ENCOUNTERED BEFORE. Oh, I have used the pins, but to carry one in my belt pouch as an emergency item never crossed my mind. Again, thank you, and keep the videos coming!

Thank you for addressing the Lighter vs. Ferro rod thing. I always take a ferro rod with me when I camp, hunt, etc, but Iv'e also always carried a lighter, and used that 99% of the time. Doesn't make me any less capable, or less of a woodsman, but some in the community think it does. As always, you are the voice of logic, and reality.

Dave, I applaud your up front support for modern inclusions, like the use of the Bic lighter as your primary fire starter! To me, that raises credibility, and is a pragmatic approach. It also shows that you deal with serious survival issues, as well as the fun of the old traditional skills of days past. It's good to keep the two separated. Well done!

I'm going to agree on the lighter as well. I always keep one on me just for that reason. that's the first go to way for fire making. easy and effective
@jamesaritchie17 жыл бұрын
If you're as good at building fire in all the primitive ways as Dave is, then using a lighter first is fine. If you aren't that good, then save the lighter and keep using the primitive ways until you can do them in your sleep. Otherwise, you'll be up the creek without a paddle if your lighter runs out of fluid, or the flint wheel breaks, which I've had happen several times.

Thanks so much Dave, for the work you and your family and friends do. I remember, stumbling on one of your videos years ago in the beginning and you were talking about knives. You were talking about good bullet-proof knives for survivability and featured both the K-Bar Fighting Knife and the Cold Steel SRK in Carbon V. I found an SRK in Carbon V on eBay, stripped the blade coating off and it's still one of my favorites. Many of us weren't aware of how to make good choices in woodcraft knives back then. But, we've learned a lot from you since then. Now when I grab a knife for a day in the woods, it's usually an antique Marble's Woodcraft pattern made by the Elgin Cutlery Company, after Webster Marble's patent expired in 1930. You're right, Dave, that what worked back then still works today. May the smoke from your fire carry your prayers to His ears and may He continue to bless you and yours.

That's the same size as my PSK just about that I toss into every iteration of hunting loadout that I use. My PSK is a Condor Gadget pouch that's 6X4X4" with a 5X7" nylon tarp, 55 gal contractor bag, mylar blanket, emergency poncho, 1qt water pouch, Aquamira tabs, a USGI canteen metal cup, an ESEE folder or a multitool, a folding mini bread pan, 3' of aluminum foil, 3' of wire, a fire kit that includes a ferro rod, a Bic in a birthday balloon, an Altoids filled with goodies (fishing bits, 100' Spiderwire, sail needle, razor blade 12' duct tape, 80' bankline, fatwood, Fresnel lens, etc...) and a PFAK. Along with that I have a MagLite LED Solitaire with an extra battery and some bouillon cubes in flat packets & a MiO + Emergen-C drink packets. I'm going to do an overnight with it using everything in the kit. Last time I weighed it, it was 2.2lbs. Might be less now. In 3 or 4 years, I've never had to use it though. However, it's good to know it's there. I MOLLE it to my belt if I don't take a pack out with me on a scout, but I NEVER go into the field without it It's like a belt or boots or a cap. It just goes with me automatically. It's my own woods EDC kit even if I'm just stepping away for a few hours from my base camp. I gotta do an overnight with this thing utilizing all of the contents to show just how much can fit into such a small kit. I would actually like to use my Pathfinder Canteen Pouch for this same set-up while upgrading some of the bits for a more substantial kit without growing it so much. Along with the Canteen kit, I think that'd be the ultimate PSK/Woods EDC set-up.

Brother Dave, you are awesome! Thank you for sharing the contents of your incredible leather pouch...gotta get one! I use a Nite Ize pock-its I found in 1981 while a paramedic in the Air Force. I still use it to this day but instead of medical emergency accessories I keep a S&W HRT folder, Smith DRET sharpener, 40 lumen pen light, a mini multi-tool, a mini Ronson fuel lighter, a tick remover and a Swedish light my fire rod. That chain (looks like a chain out of a toilet reservoir) and the twisted metal rod are great ideas. I was trying to figure out a method of hanging my GI canteen over a fire to "decontaminate" my water source. Check...add another two items to my pouch (rear pocket). Congratulations on being busy...you deserve all the success. Of all the survivalists on TV you were the real deal. I'm looking forward to attending one of your courses.
