Dave I stumbled onto your channel a couple months ago and I have been watching your old videos like crazy. I have to say you’re one of the most genuine men I have saw on KZfaq… no shilling of any kind that I have saw, no commercials, no unboxing reviews, just a honest fella giving his honest opinions on what works for him!! I used to think that no one could possibly love machete’s more than my self but with out a doubt you have me beat! Thank you so much for putting out genuine content on so many things to do with the outdoors that I love!! Please never change!! Thanks and god bless you sir!

Dave you need your own online store, with the amount of useful things you have made over the years, I'd definitely order some custom made gear, keep up the good work, happy new year to you and your family 🎉

Even if I never in my life get to practice even a quarter of your ideas, Dave, I always love to see your adventures. I really appreciate watching your inspiration and ingenuity. It is great even like this episode when you are solo, but it's even better when Nick joins in. It's a great channel. Thanks again for all your work.

Hi Dave! The videos featuring your experimental concepts are my favorites. This thing ought to be called the chameleon because it blends in so well. Stay on this one, buddy, I think it is a winner!

Always excited to see the homemade stuff!

Well you've went and outdid yourself yet again Dave! Over the years I've seen you come up with countless ingenious ideas and builds... this one ranks way up there man, and that's saying a lot considering all that you've done! The way that you utilized those old tent poles was just pure genius! It's awesome to hear that good ol' Oregon Mike sent 'em to ya too. He's a good man and a good buddy for sure! Hope you have a great weekend my Brother! P.S. I'll be waiting for that Bigfoot footage too 😉👍

Id never leave your video early cuz its never boring. Reminds me of teaching, years ago, when I realized I had to compete with Sesame Street! 😂 Seriously good set up, Dave. Winter camping for my 70th birthday this weekend! 🌏✌👍😎🇨🇦

Great concept Dave. That Camo mesh looks great. As to whether I’d notice that tree as I walked through the woods, I definitely would. I’m drawn to downed trees because my brother and I used them as "huts" when we were kids in the woods. Any natural shelter was an immediate magnet for us. That being said, your setup blended perfectly and absolutely works as a stealth setup for the average eye. Good to see 2024 is starting out with great new ideas! Stay safe and keep the new concepts coming!

Wow.... totally stealth. That thing blends in perfectly. Leave it out there for about a month and old Mr. Samsquanch might just take up residence. Your sewing skills have evolved to a high level of skill. It shows in your seams and fittings.

For over a decade you have been an inspiration. Thanks for being you. Though it was brief I still remember meeting all those years ago at blade show.

Dave, Nick, and family, I hope you all had a great holiday and New Year's celebration. You picked a good spot to observe deer and other non-predator critters judging by that well-worn deer path. But, I have to tell you, I wouldn't want to be on the ground anywhere near a sasquatch if one decided to give you a visit. By the look of the environment, I'd say there would be a lot of nocturnal activity. Your camo would be doubly effective, but you'd need some night-vision goggles. Again, I just heard the Chinese have developed an invisibility cloak that seems to be quite effective in bending light. Now, that would be an interesting thing to see you work with! Have a great and prosperous year.

Yay a new RBM1 video! I am only 1/3 into the video Level of creativity is amazing, I can just imagine how much fun you have to think this stuff up and then make it! Also you really chose the right clothing for the environment I barely saw you there at the beginning! Happy new year and best wishes for a great 2024 to the Fun in the woods family, friends, relatives, loved ones and viewers!

Excellent video as always David

A very impressive first prototype stealth bivvy, congrats David and happy tracking.

Superb concept and build and the camo nets really work well, only slight problem I think it may be easier to enter with a long side zip instead of the top, that way the camouflage would stay in place and the weather proof flap could be secured and not disturbed. But your testing will prove or disprove that. Can't wait to see you do an overnight in it.👍

Happy New Year! Hope you Nick and the rest of your family had a great holiday! Another very cool fabrication. Good luck on your stealth hunting adventure, to see and film Bigfoot. I have heard your story many times of your close encounter and other people’s stories as well. There has to be something more to all of these encounters! There is a very special person that once said she wants to believe! And so do I.!

Happy new year to you and your family, Dave. Looking forward to another year of great content from you

You get 5 stars for being able to get into your cocoon while conversing AND staying in focus. Kudos to you! Respect 🙏

I’ve got a recon bag gen3 and I love it. Never had a bivy or a wooby. I’ve never camped in cold weather though. Always lived on islands…🐸🍺🔪🔥

Fun in the woods!!! Most definitely, when going out with our Uncle Dave!!! Great job. Happy New Year to you and your family.

Man,that is so cool. That is the very best camouflage I’ve ever seen,you can not even see it ,just a few feet from you,and you know exactly where it is.Absolutely great ideas for stealth.Great video brother.

Hi Dave, great prototype, and another great invention!. Both of those camo meshes seemed to work very well.Even from a short distance the bivy blended in great. Outstanding job! Look forward to seeing the refinements. Take care brother.👍

As long as I’ve been with you i continue to be amazed by your innovations. That’s the most stealthy site I’ve ever seen, both of those camo patterns work perfectly. I believe deep down we both know that their are squatches out there, I do hope you encounter one. I’m really looking forward to your adventure , good luck and take care Dave

I say it often and I'll say it again, your ingenuity is beyond comprehension!! Excellent job! Blessings

Always a good day when I see one of Dave's videos.

That is an excellent idea for stealth camping. Camouflage is perfect! Also a great idea for a hunter's blind.

That was awesome, if someone was purposely looking for you they wouldn't see it. Great job brother!

Reminds me of the way a trapdoor spider hunts pray. This is simple but effective. Thanks for sparking my imagination Dave.

Awsome, Dave! I would dare to sleep in that, so well camouflaged that it actually feels (kinda) safe. Hope you have a splendid year with good health and happiness. Love from Holland!

That’s so clever Dave , wouldn’t mind some of that camo mesh . Happy New Year Dave.

You always amaze me Dave 👍😃. That’s some more sleeping rig you made !!! I really like that tall grass/duck blind camo !!! That stuff is great !!!! See you on the next one 👍👍

Dave … In a single word … ingenious!!! Hope your Christmas and New Years Day was fantastic!!! Thoroughly enjoyed the video!!! Until your next video and beyond, happy trails, best wishes, take care, be safe and, of course, God bless!!! Chuck Knight formerly from Buffalo, Texas and now from Atascocita, Texas. ✝️👨‍🌾🙏

Right on man! You've got a great working concept going there. You're taking 2 days off work to go sit in a homemade bivy and look for bigfoot Dave! You're really starting to head in my direction now haha. So awesome. I enjoyed every bit of this video and I thank you Dave.

They sell something vaguely similar for duck hunters. With all that headroom the condensation wouldn't be as bad as a regular bivy. You definitely needed Nick to help film this one. Happy New Year!

Happy New Year to you and your family, looking forward to your innovative new ideas and creations, always a great show. You seem to have more fun in the woods than anybody I've ever seen. Cheers!

What a fantastic stealth shelter! The camo mesh works perfectly! Great job!

Another great build and a joy to watch. I agree with the logic about bigfoot. To many people have seen/heard something that says there is something 'unexplained' out there. One day perhaps one of us will get the proof to confirm or debunk. Until then, keep the videos coming and hopefully our adventures may cross someday. -Tony

Dave, all you need now is a pit crew and a steering wheel! Just kidding. Always great to see your vision come to life. Appreciate your contributions to the community buddy! God Bless!! Tell Nick we hope all is good!!

You hit a home run on this concealment setup. Your best to date that I’ve seen. Thanks for all of the effort you put into this one. Looking forward to your next adventure.

When I was a kid we used what we called a Cowboy bed roll it was a 10' X 10' heavy canvases and a wool blanket we would lay it out in a diamond shape and fold the edges in over ourselves and tuck them under under ourselves with a camo cover it could be a stealth sleep system this system looks like it would be nice and warm and warm and easy to setup another outstanding video i look forward to your videos

Happy New Year to you and your family! This is such a tremendous stealthy idea. I can imagine chilling in it and critter-watching. It just seems so relaxing. Your upcoming weekend adventure sounds like fun. Years ago, when we lived in a fourplex, a forest was about 10 feet from our kitchen. One day, I was cooking and looked out the window. I saw Bigfoot. Now, it wasn't flesh and blood. It was a solid form, black as night, running along the forest's edge, so close to our unit. I was frozen and watched it until it disappeared. It was huge and shaped like a gigantic ape. Truth be told, there was something not right about that forest. I had too many experiences there. I'm rambling on. --- Your videos are great. I was sick in bed for two weeks and binge-watched your older videos. I watched the cat lore video and was as nervous as you were. I kept scanning the tree lines. Have a wonderful weekend- Hollie.

That mesh would be perfect for filming Bigfoot through! Just visible enough to see its "something" without showing too much detail. You wouldn't even need to shake the camera around! Perfect!

Extraordinary camouflage. You did that so well!

Really ingenious! I'm not done watching yet, but I lost it at the "B" word! I totally cracked up. Your mind is so full of cool ideas. I love how your wheels must always be spinning. Thanks, Dave. :) I hope you have a great weekend.

TGIF I woke up late to Coffee, a new episode and Amanda for 90 minutes ( and soon all weekend.) My only observation? If I was a crypto species of primate in Georgia ( can they vote?) I’d hunker down in the bicycle and watch Dave and Nick. Chris AND Amanda

Thanks for filming David! I think that camo mesh works perfect! 😁👍🏼😁👍🏼

I think you did an awesome job of making that and it blends in very well with the natural camouflage the tree gives it. The materials would need time to lose the chemical smells from them, so I do think leaving it out for a while would take care of that. I'm really interested in how well this will work after you've left it out in the bush for a while. With the camo, it also is specific to the area you're setting up in. But having different types and combinations of camo is a very good idea. To match different terrain types. I can see the condensation problems with such a construction if you leave it totally sealed up, but like you stated, it's not for camping, but nature observation. Probably just leaving the sides up under the camo would take care of that problem.

Hey Dave, I wish you your family and crew 😊, a healthy and happy 2024

That reminded me of the Bat Cave when you pulled it up into the tree. Thanks for the video, another great one.

THat is the best camo job that you have ever done! That is almost invisible.

That's probably one of the best systems I've seen!!! Good idea, looking forward to it evolve!!!

Great show Dave, thank you. That thing is awesome.!! I can't believe that some of these larger companies don't ask you to come up with new products or improve on some old ones. I hope your trip goes well and it doesn't matter if you believe in bigfoot or not. Just make sure you're carrying a firearm for protection. (preferably bigger than 9mm). Thank you, be safe, and God bless.

The version with the two cam-nets is simply perfect. And as far as bigfoot is concerned, unfortunately I haven't seen one myself yet, but bigfoot is one of my favorite mysteries🦶and I hope you find one (and if not, then it's still better than sitting at home in front of the TV) 🙂

Dave, you could market that item. Make it some Dave merch. Research what the cost might be to outsource manufacture....or just sell the pattern so others can build it themselves. Either way. Dave will be Dave. I just ordered a hammock from TEMU to try out next summer. I've never had a hammock before. But someone I know showed me how to use one. He also showed me knife/machete combos. Thanks, Dave. Keep up the great information and knowledge you share.

Great....... your selfmade stuff is much greater than the things you can buy in the stores.

That is incredibly effective camo. I'm subscribed to your channel, but I ain't seen you in a long time. It's just messed up algorithms I guess. I think the more Brown camo is best. Kind of like the old mossy oak forest floor, that came out the same year as mossy oak breakup. I've had turkey literally run up on top of me wearing that stuff. I am making a ghillie suit. But not out of a bunch of hemp twine. I bought some cloth oak leaves made for airsoft ghillie suits. I sewed some tan fishnet to a woodland camo set of oversized BDU's. I can throw the hat down in the Autumn leaves, and stand on top of it, and it disappears. I'm so glad that I ran upon your videos again. God bless you, and all your viewers.

Nice job Dave, I love your invention and it encourages us all to think outside the box, all the best from South east England thanks mate,

Hey, Dave. Hope you and the family had a great Christmas and a safe and Happy New Year. Great idea on the bag. I'd worry about being warm in there. That Cordura is going to have the breathability of a zip lock bag. Other than that, looks like a great idea. Plenty of room inside, easy to get in and out of. The camo net made it work . Great idea to start the year with. Can't wait to see what the rest of the year brings. God bless ya'll in the upcoming year, and ya'll stay safe on your adventures.

Hey fella, I recently discovered your channel through looking for help with info on machetes, and after watching a few of those, I subscribed. This was the first non-machete related video I have watched. Two things I love the most is your natural curiosity and non-pretensious approach... And secondly, being from the UK, your accent is mesmerising (in a good way)... I will be watching more! Much appreciated... Puccini (UK)

I'd just go ahead and take my coffee with me along with a pee can. 😂 great video Dave!!

Perfect video for all those men on the run. Hiding from the law, wife, collection agencies, you name it. Just kidding around, love ya Dave.

Oh how I love this unique, interesting and allways innovative channel!

Hi Dave! Happy 2024. I love your stuff but I am way too old now to do what you are doing, so I really enjoy watching your efforts and appreciate you sharing. The idea works great and I think once all set up one would have to nearly step on it to see it. I am not a Big Foot believer, but if you do actually see one it might be best to not let anyone know. People would absolutely hunt them down and do no telling what to them if good video or photos of one were to come out. Keep up the great videos!

Real cool system Dave! I'm sure it would fool the big guy. I don't think anyone or thing that would have any clue it was there until they were right up on it, or picked up on your scent. Thanks for sharing.

Awesome prototype. I am looking forward to seeing how it develops. As always, love your videos….and your contagious laughter 😊

Dave, you are a genius! Theyll never find you...

I'm just amazed at what in your brain! I could watch this stuff for hours.

I love the idea and at times if I looked away I couldn’t see you! That is so awesome the way you make that disappear!

Among the best channels in KZfaq

🔥🙏🔥Thank you Dear friend - Quite an adventure - I can only imagine sitting at night watching the animals without being noticed - Amazing🔥🙏🔥

Love the whole idea Dave thanks for taking the time to show the progress.

Hello Dave ,another great interesting video and creation brother 👍🏾 being a knife guy I couldn't help but notice you brought my favorite Tarava skrama 240 out today. 👍🏾🤙🏾 Your creativity is off the charts brother 👏🏾 🫡

That is impressive!...from the bivy construction through to the camouflage....

Absolutely brilliant.....great work Dave....this looked like a real fun one!!!!

Genius. I really hope you follow up by video with the mods you make as well as your adventure looking for Big Foot. If you find it and it's a female, we might not see you again! I really enjoyed this one.

That's very stealthy dave good stuff!

1st! Can't wait to watch. I always love your videos

You got the camo nailed dave ..shape shine shadow silhouette and movement 👏👏

Dave that new camouflage one you have to me was awesome when you took your camera around it blended right in I couldn't tell anything! Until you came in to it. I think it was successful .😊

Hey! Happy New Year to you and all🎉 I appreciate your videos. Thank you!

Hi Dave, im back again. Again great vid. It has rejuvinated me to get back to the camo idea floating around my head. Just for fun ill briefly describe. A way with the mesh and something...pvc, metal wire, the something is what im struggling with. But...a way to have a quick mobile way to prowl around the river and pick a spot then just kinda crouch down and in 5 mins be covered...but able to fire. And I mean a crossbow so it has to be clear...ya know cant have mesh getting caught up. The just stay still and hunt a bit. Then move on. Anyway thats the main challenge. Luv the stealth bivy and its reinvigorated me to figure something. Ty.

Another great idea buy Dave providing Big foot is some where else. , happy trails

Great job on the video, happy new year Dave

Love it. Great idea. Always have fun with it.

I love it, happy New Year and thanks for the video.

Your great ideas just keep on coming. Thanks Dave

Dave you did a really good job on the stealth hide. Another nice video. Have a wonderful day.

Very cool idea and a very nice build. Thanks.

I love the creativity, building your own gear is so satisfying

Awesome. You’ve outdone yourself again Dave. It will be interesting to see how it works in the future.

Super job Dave!!!

Works very well, congratulations!!!

There he is!!!!! Happy new year Dave!

Dave always has some great ideas! Once again wish Dave was my neighbor, cool guy to know.👍🏽😎

Dave, man that is awesome. love it. such creativity

That is awesome, brother! You need a brand and company putting out your gear. I love it. Hope the New Year treats you well, sir.

I don't believe in big foot. It's the zombie hoards you need to look out for. They'll never find you with this new rig of yours. Great job.

that's very stealthy thanks Dave for demonstrating how it looks , i will surely use this out there , great video Dave thanks !

You're Sure Onto Something There Davey ! Love The Way It Blends Well ! Thanks Brother. Keep An Eye Out For Them Widow Makers ! Had A Nice Stout Cup For Ya As I Watched This ! Hap-E 2024 Hay Nick ! ATB T God Bless

Thank you again for your great material shared here and Happy New Year from us :)
