I’ve always been an advocate of ‘work smarter and not harder’. Your videos and ideas confirm this. I’m 76 and I still have a decent back.

40 years ago, I used that parbuckle technique to load a 55-gallon barrel of concrete curing compound into the back of a flatbed truck by rolling it up an 8-foot ramp. All by myself. I learned the technique from a USMC MCI course for combat engineers. Still have the book out in my footlocker.

You always put value into your video demonstrations, Dave. Great way to move heavy weight!

Excellent video these are all techniques I used 40 years ago to start my timber business. Found myself with no job but I had a chainsaw and a pick up. I also had the knowledge and skills as you see here. I lived close to allot of pulp and paper property that had lots of timber so I went and secured a contract with them to cut and haul pulpwood for so much a ton. Using these techniques to handle and load the wood I was able to slowly build my timber business. Just proof you don't need fancy tools just knowledge and skill too use it.

Back in the 70’s I had to take out an old locust post fence out and replace it ,so I used a bipod like that hooked up to my jeep . That gave me vertical lift on the old posts and it pulled them straight up out of the ground leaving nice sized holes for my new locust posts, which are still there today. Most people have forgotten or never know this technology and rely only on machines.

Dave, you could start a new society 'from scratch' with the knowledge you possess. Thank you. 💜👍 We are truly blessed... Honour and Respect! Universal Sovereign Citizen

This video is simply gold. Thank you. This knowledge is getting lost in a age of push buttons, but will be invaluable when things get real hard and basic.

Great demonstration Dave Canterbury, superior ways to move weight. I like the roller log method,but also like the v shaped tripod u built. Loving all of the newer Pathfinder gear. Teach on sir.👍☘️😎

Dave would definitely have been the king on Easter island.

Hello from Detroit Michigan brother thank you for sharing your knowledge and expertise and for taking us on your adventure into the woods

Rope is the single greatest human innovation. It has given humanity more than any other invention, and lead to more possibilities than anything else.

Lol! When kitty wants pets, kitty gets pets.

That cat is living the life

Nice. Simply. Simply nice. Thank you.

love how survival schools are turning in to particle physics class for the average 5th or 6th grader the sad reality is that even thou these principals are being thought at schools today they are severely neglected and the part of their real world application completely forgotten

I have to say, that cat knows when the camera is on!!! lol

Thanks Dave, great reminder from the ropes course.

Thank you for passing along more knowledge a great video on how to work smarter not harder

Love you Dave! Great vid, easy, simple, and effective skills!

Hi Dave , hope a simple machines book for the bush crafter series is in the future someday! Thanks so much. PS if thats not possible is there a book you suggest

Great stuff Dave..

What a valuable piece of knowledge!

Great one Dave.👍

The cat supervisor approve. He is like: "Now build me a temple worthy of my divine nature"

Great information. Thank you for your work.

Great tips thank you for sharing this important information listening from Texas

Great content. I use techniques like this frequently when I dont have an extra set of hands to help lift and move. Work smarter, not harder

Always great vids. Thanks.

Thanks old skills in the woods been doing it fifty years good stuff😊

Interesting and handy information. Thank you. I hope to see your Supervisor Kitty in future videos as well 😁 Subscribed🙂

Awesome job

Lol, cat thinks you've lost your mind talking to yourself. 😂

Dave this is incredible but I am lov'n that shed/man cave in the first couple of minutes! What kind of roof or fabric did you use? I'm needing something for my tractor that is simple, cuts the wind, holds back the snow without having to get complicated building permits, plan checks, engineers etc. Thanks Dave!

Un gran trabajo, gracias por recuperar conocimiento, desde Chile, saludos.

I know your secret. That cat knows all the techniques of the Egyptian pyramid builders.😉

Very nice.

Maravilloso!!!

Great stuff Dave. Part 1 was awesome, excited to see part 2 and 3

Very cool! Working smart instead of hard.

Nice idea Sir

Nice

Nice thanks god bless

Love your tools set

5:14 Bonus deadfall to catch a cat

Came for the machines, stayed for the cat.

Thank you a very informative video!!!!

Very good

The rougher, the ground, the bigger round the axles have to be

Thanks for this video bro. You just made my life easier

This is too cool, I really like this

Coming down next westle in a three type old boot was nothing but then we had a rope and a pick up truck we were able to going slowly pull up the ends like doing the work of ten men only me and my pals memories were made thank God for simple machines

We're just the old guys who actually paid attention in Physics class.

Very cool 🏋️‍♀️👍🤺

I astonished clients by installing 24 foot garage header beams by myself using similar ancient techniques.

You have got a new subscriber 🎉 Quite a valuable content! Cheers from Istanbul 🇹🇷 ♥️ 🇺🇸

Good lesson!

5:12 cool dog

Nice.

Grande Luciano

And fur purposes of petting, we shall be utilizing one kitty cat. Absolutely mandatory, NOT optional.

Brilliant.

nice cat

Need a harness for Zahn and hitch him up for pulling.

👍👍👍👍👍

And the parbuckle up two log ramps can bring a log up onto your log cabin.

I wonder if techniques like these were used to move the massive stones in ancient structures such as the pyramids and stone henge?

Old school ways may be forgotten, but they work

Thanks Dave

Thanks i use these methods often in country farm

could it be aliens?

David Canterbury the Archimedes of Ohio.

As a fella with disc issues, this is some game changing info. Thanks Dave.

Dave I think you have my catttttt!!!!!!

It goes faster & easier if you keep using the-frame to leap forward. Staying so low too long to handle the rollers is straining the knees or back

Gotta love a scene stealing cat!

Hey Sir sll that camping .you do &all that night training you do.have you ever Looked up at the sky. Have you ever seen a UFO yet

Cat steals the show. Every time. I want a video just of him. Put a small camera on him and let him run around during one of your classes. And double click on the like button. And good information.

I think that is a Killick Hitch but it's been a while since I worked on all my knots

My kitty is also very helpful: yesterday we were trying to catch rabbits that got out and he chased them everywhere...

кот на хозяина похож, и участвует в сьемках )

This is how they logged the big timber logs that was the size of a rail car loaded up for transport.

But Dave, didn't you know you could just get the aliens to do it for you? 😂 Learning about these simple machines just makes me see so many ways ancient Egyptians could have, with lots of teamwork and beasts of burden, making giant structures like the pyramids of Giza seems very plausible. There were thousands of oxen (or some sort of bovine) mummies found all over near the pyramids, which tells you they no doubt were used for all the heavy pulling. Imagine a couple of big trees made into a bipod like this, some hefty rope strung to the stone, and a team of oxen pull. You have guys on the sides bring in roller logs, and then proceed to have the oxen team drag the stones along ramps (ramps are all over the place at Giza, even to this day) "paved" with roller logs. To keep rollers from rolling downhill, you use the simplest machine, wedges, to act as chucks on the downhill side of the rollers. I think the reason people claim aliens, or other high tech intervention, is because they don't know about these old ways, so they only see modern tech as the way to accomplish moving huge objects. That's why these old ways are so important to learn and pass on, because God forbid we lose the use of our modern machinery the people who know these old methods are gonna be the ones whom achieve greatness in the hard times to come.

Am I 1st?

Part 6. Building Stonehenge with simple machines.

thank you.

Thank you! Very informative.

Thank you 😊

Physics is fun.

Where I come from

Please keep these videos coming.

How dare you use your intelligence. If I can't do it, it must've been built pre-flood and by either aliens or giants.

Pyramids

👍👍👍

Thanks Dave
