Hey! You showed the cap I crocheted for you! So glad to see it as I wondered if you threw it out or unraveled it. Its nearly 200 ft of paracord from army surplus store. Thanks son! Momma GG

So part 1 is over an hour long and i've already seen more (and better) gear in your basement then in my local outdoor store ... bring on part 2!

Dave all I can say is the way you film this and your personality makes it like you’re hanging out with a buddy in his house. You make it fun and enjoyable not too many people can do that. Keep doing the magic you do. Looking forward to part two

You can't beat an M65 field jacket. Been my favorite cool weather clothing since I inherited my dad's when I was a teenager. I've been through the thickest brush and abused it heavily since then, and I still wear it today. Most importantly, they make you look cool. This is a great video, looking forward to part two! Thanks for sharing, keep up the good work!

I bet you were the most prepared, most fun, most innovative Scout Leader ever!

I do love Dave's basement. When ever you do one in the basement I make a list for Christmas for me...LOL. Looking forward to Part 2.

Lots of nice gear there! I like the gen 3 stuff also. My favorite camo though is the German Flecktarn! Look into that and see what you think.I live in Washington State and the darker color pattern matches well with our environment here.

Thumbnail looks like preps for winter in Canada. You're always welcome up north.

We get to go to Dave's basement! We get to go to Dave's basement! What more could you ask for but to be there in person! Dave you are a man after my own heart. I wore an M65 jacket for years until I outgrew it. To have one that would fit me now would look more like an olive drab tent! Bring on Part 2!

Wow just wow David. I could come to your house & shop & you wouldn't even know I was there... lol.... We use to call those hats stocking caps. My daughter calls them beanies. It has to be a difference in age groups? I have a problem finding boots to fit my size feet. Women's are to tight & they don't make men's little enough. So I have to get boys sizes & there's not a whole lot to choose from. So frustrating. The only military store we had in town shut it's doors this year. I was really upset about that, bc they had a lot of cool things in there store. It was always busy when you drove by. I could remember when my Dad would take me there when I was very young. It was a all around great srore. We would buy foam to make cushions out of & buy the vinyl fabric to cover it with for our boat cushions. And they had a great selection of indoor/outdoor carpet to put in your boat. Oh well life move on. Thanks for sharing this 1st collection of gear. Looking for part 2 soon. Be safe, Chris from Missouri

Brother, what can I say that you ain't said! Unreal gear room My Friend. Thanks for sharing all the goodies. Wow 👍🏻 Thumb's up video!~John

One other helpful thing about that camo (edit** Gortex) jacket with the bill and the elastic skirt. Is the skirt is great for keeping the snow out. A lot of snowboarding jackets have that skirt for the powder runs through the trees. Especially when you sit down to take it all in. Thank you for another great video Dave. May God bless you and all who are fortunate enough to see it.

I am super impressed by your knife hanging storage behind you.... I love it. Also...nice Mora collection. Rob.

What Imelda Marcos did for shoes, you do for jackets. Great video as always.

I Like your glove and hat /cap collection ...I wear goat skin gloves from harbor freight when I use wood handle hammers , shovels, rakes and any of my axes or big chopping knives ..They are so comfortable to use when working They are thin but good gloves for yard work

Wow you have a lot of stuff. I loved the carabiner hat. 😁😁😁😁😁 I never thought about putting sock liner inside socks great tip Dave cheers. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 you are a serious hoarder. 😆😆😆😆😆😆

Dang David!...reckon you won't be running out of Survival clothing anytime soon! I'm both surprized and pleased to discover my extreme cold weather Parka has those hidden velcro pockets!!!...iv'e only been wearing mine for the past seven years...LOL...go figure....back in the day (1971) we were issued the m65 and it had a hood rolled up inside a zipper'd collar...not a very warm hood but it kept the wind off Awesome video my friend...watched er front ta back...see ya in part 2...atb...woods

Wheeew! a marathon video, because I always watch all of yours to the end. For the winter I use "Thinsulate" gloves & "Tobbogan" type head wear and I also recently bought Nomex flight gloves to supliment my TIG welding gloves. I always wear cotton or wool socks as my feet sweat too much in man made fibres & it rarely gets above 20C 70F here in the UK. For outer wear I love the modern fabrics for waterproof, insulating, lightweight packing and robustness in the woods, although as a very young army cadet in the 1960's we still wore "Battle Dress" which was all wool (shirts too) this was good in winter & warm when wet, but a nightmare in summer. Some used to shave the inside of their shirts but I wore a T shirt with a V cut in the neck to stop the itching. Stay safe & be well. Dave.

I laughed out loud at the tube part. I believe these are called "buffs". I was going to say, I just discovered these this last winter and love the tube combined with a beanie cap. Basically makes a balaclava that you can easily slide down to just be a neck warmer if you don't want your face covered at a given moment. Thanks for sharing, always enjoy your videos.

I'm a big fan of bushcrafting,and innovative ideas on survival. I'm glad you are out there,and giving us old dogs new tricks to the trade. Ive even learned a lot from you, as well as others at my age.Keep it up,love it all! Stay real,it fits you.

They can't be boring because it always makes common sense when you do it love it keep up the good work Dave have a blast you ain't that old yet

So grateful for your sock evaluation. I know this is an older video but I am so grateful. Thank you.

we giggled every time you giggled. ha! great gear review, dave. thanks, as always. waving from canada.

Dave, enjoyed the overview. I get a kick out of your giggle/ chuckle.

I do the same with my winter gear , wearing winter gear that is too tight gets cold , the idea is to have some air space , the air space will warm up trapping warm air . The most important layer is your outer shell , the reason I say this is that you have got to block the wind , the rain and the snow , Wind is a killer it cuts like a knife and will take away your energy. A good outer shell will keep your inner layers functioning . As for me , i layer up because sitting still waiting for a deer gets cold . good video thanks again

After watching this video with a country boy ( my husband and I are very country too) with enough gear to supply a small army that upstairs his wife has a closet the size of a small bedroom with a crystal chandelier and rows of Expensive designer shoes and handbags😂 Fair is fair:) Great info here, thanks!

The neck tube is a neck gaiter. I have a moisture wicking Mossy Oak. It makes all the difference. I like your warm version! That looks so warm & cozy. And versatile! You need to sell those on Etsy. I'd buy it! Maybe a few different ones.

Good stuff as always man. It's great you point out the difference between backpacking and what us silly woodsmen do. Backpackers scowl at our boots but as you said, they aren't busting brush, which would tear their little shoes up. They also aren't carrying much weight at all, which is why we need the sturdiness of a boot. Put 35+ lbs on their back and then they'll see why shoes aren't good for hiking.

Dave you are the best in describing sports clothings. I think you should do advertisements for sports clothing companies as you have an extraordinary talent to advertise.

Hello Dave from the UK, I have to admit the kit you've shown is the same kit I have more or less , I have a tilley hat best hat I have luv it ,wollen hat ,and extremity balaclava very warm , wollen gloves, down and feather mitts, I have 3 British army goretex jackets, 2 M65 jackets I cammo both lined , alot of fleeces and other shirts, 3 pair of boots British army and other bits of kit ,and my wife thinks I have to much gear so after watching your video together we were well impressed with your basement kit room awesome kit there dave really impressive can't wait for part two thanks for sharing

Awesome video as always educational. My brother walked in as I was listening. He watched the part of the boots when he walked at the point of you showing the rocky boots, and said sounds like a cool pair of boots.

Dave thnxs for uploading and sharing your camping clothing !! Awesome always enjoy !! 👍🏻🇺🇸💯

Zipper fly! Oh my gosh Dave, that is super-genius!

Wow Dude! I live in Georgia as well and I barely have any insulating clothing. You had me sweating just watching. I wish that I lived some place that those layers are needed, but defiantly not here. BTW: The tube is called a "Buff". Your basement looks like an Army Surplus store. LOL!!! Great video! Thanks for sharing!

The hour went by fast, even me stopping to take notes. Great stuff!!!!! Keep it coming. Robert

Luv ya dave! But I think it's time for a intervention. 😯😁 also when you get to old as stated in previous vids you can supplement ur retirement with a surplus store ! Thanks for every vid !!!!

I appreciate you Dave! When I think, Damn ! I’ve got too much stuff! I just watch a RMB 1 video and I feel better! 🤗😬👍😎 You are the man ! Gots to have a cup one day even if it’s on the other side. 👍👍 blessings to you and yours.

Great video. Very interesting. Can't wait for the next 9 hour long clothing videos! 😉

LOL... You are a nut... I like the Nomex flight gloves... The tubes are really cool... You are the dew rag master... ahahaha Love the double pan balaclava... I remember it from another of your videos... Peek-a-boo Armpits ? Really ? LOL Truth be told though, how many channels can you go to and see this much cool stuff - with a host who can go through it and explain it - AND be able to stand up to the know-it-all trolls afterwards... Thank you for what you do brother, and for bringing the rest of us along... Peace.

I often do technical work outdoors in cold weather. I need to have the maximum dexterity with my hands. I use 9 mil nitrile gloves. They will keep your hands dry and provide a little bit of protection from the cold for a short duration. Take frequent breaks to warm your hands back up. Also use the proper size of nitrile gloves for your hand size so they fit snug.

I'm jealous!!! That basement looks like a Army Surplus Store. Very impressive!!! Thanks for the videos and sharing your experience. I'm just learning. Thanks for your opinions whether they are popular or not. Love your sense of humor and how you laughat yourself.

Always enjoy your videos and this is another good one. Those all grip gloves that appear to have seen better days, you can replace those at Harbor Freight for $1.99. I love those things for summer time outside work because your hands don't get all sweaty. Your M65 jackets, I have an old one with the liner and an artic hood that is wool lined and has a heavy wire in the edge around your face to keep the wind out, all those buttons on the inside around the collar of the jacket are used to attach the hood which has a flap that goes on the outside of the collar. and yes some might call you a hoarder but you use all your stuff so they're just jealous.

I love you Dave! no one else could keep my attention after the first 10+ minutes of "gloves I own" lol Now on to... "Hats I own" lol Can't wait for Part 2. Also, I need that Balaclava hat/ bag ! Also, Also..I hope you don't mind but posted this video to Facebook lol

Great video Dave. We call them Toboggans in Texas too. A buddy of mine from Canada told me they call them Tukes. I started calling them Tukes as well because I thought it sounded way cooler to call them Tukes than Toboggans. Problem is nobody else in Texas knows what a dang Tuke is!?!?! LOL!!! Rocky makes some great boots. I’ve tried Bates as well but they seam to come apart especially if you get them wet. I finally settled on some Reebok boots with a side zipper. They are the most comfortable and durable boots that I own. I purchased the Tru-Spec GoreTex rain system in Multicam as well. It has the jacket, the zip in fleece liner and the pants. The system works great but it was expensive. I think that the little skirt inside the jacket is actually a snow barrier. I’m sure it keeps the wind out as well. Thanks for sharing brother.

You have more stuff than the biggest outdoor sporting good store I’ve ever been in in my entire life Dave. It looks like you’re on the quest for the perfect accessory. I’m favorite thing this video so that if my wife ever says one thing to me ever about buyingSomething I will just show her this video. lol. I thought went that when you got your socks you were just going to say well there’s not too much to say about socks however I own about 3500 pairs. God bless you and your wonderful family my friend. John

Damn, you‘re a museum, an exibition and a wishlist all at the same time.

always excellent!. If Mors is soul of bushcraft, you're the spirit of it

About 35 years ago, we moved cross country for work. My wife made friends with a woman from West Texas who had a young son the same age as ours. They used to go grocery shopping together , and on one trip just before Christmas, they started talking about what to buy the boys for presents. The friend told my wife that she intended to get the boy a toboggan. My wife couldn't believe it, as we lived in the desert! What the lady actually meant was a watch cap...

That *Big Dog* hood....looks like a sleeping bag hood. So you dont get a cold head overnight when in your sleeping bag. Its also for extreme cold conditions if your coat doesnt have a hood. Rob

Get in buddy!!' I love your kit room. Thanks for the share Dave, truly interesting and looking forward to part 2. Cheers Sel UK

Dave's Army and Navy Store. I love that box of axes, great display. Just don't bump that box and chop your toes off.

My favorite boot for all around is made by Carolina, Linemans, leather,super high top that lace up... I call this type Woodsman. I have those heated Sox also , there ok. Deus Vult 😎

Velcro fly ForTheWin! #gottapee LOL nice gear, Dave! Enjoying the tour of your gear room.

Reallybigmonkey 1 clothing store opening soon 😂😂😂🇺🇸 thank you Dave for sharing this video, I wish I had a 1/8th of the clothes you have shown, maybe my ship will come in soon, can't wait until part 2. Have a awesome weekend, take care and God bless you and your Family always. 🇺🇸🔥☕️🇺🇸👼🏻👼🏻

Dave, MAN! I love the video but don't be surprised if that show "Hoarders" doesn't come knocking! :) :)

DPM is British, they use MTP now, a variant of Multicam. As soon as I get my income tax return, I'm gonna get a Gen 2 or 3 Goretex top and bottom from the ECWCS system. That one sleep shirt you said looked inside out is the level 2 layer for the Gen 3 ECWCS system. Soldiers call it the waffle layer. It's called grid fleece. Condor makes a really good grid fleece top and bottom called the Base II. Level 1 is the silk weight, then level 2 is grid fleece, i think Goretex is level 6. You have so much cool stuff it's unreal. Can't wait to see part 2.

"...it's dang near a helmet!" HA! Your videos are not only informative but entertaining!

Big Dogs clothings' HQ is out of Santa Barbara , Ca. They have Stores around the south . There is a store in N.C . Not trying to be a butt wipe but a "lot" of Canadians call our stocking caps , beanie watch cap, toboggans a TOQUE . Joe Robinet does, and other Canadians I watch and know do also . French derived . Neck gaiter 20:45 or Buff . Do rag , drive on rag . Dave . You made a video showing how to make that skillet bag / balaclava . 36:40 Muck boots . I found Terramar on STP about 6 yrs ago . Tried there long sleeve Climasense shirts . Wear those almost exclusively in the Fall for hiking , backpacking AND a seperate one at night to sleep in . Since , I have bought many , many Terramar clothes . Just picked up a full zip , grid fleece , hooded shirt as a mid layer last week . Wore it once so far , LOVE it . Terramar for the price , may be the hidden jewel in the outdoor Industry !! Have a few of there different weight fleece jackets / hoodies . All great . Well what have we learned other than ole Dave is a fashion w#@$e . That he is not a hoarder . A real hoarder would have bought 20 ea. of those hats and buffs :D Nice video Dave . Can't wait to see your other clothes . That last shirt is GRID fleece / polartec grid fleece . Great stuff !!

On those M65 field jackets , I have a problem finding extra large tall with out spending $$$ but I can take a large and cut sleeves off and sew around were sleeve was and use it like a vest....love them. Deus

The knuckle gloves are handy for working when that spanner slips and takes your knuckles out.

Enjoy and lean a lot from you videos. It doesn't bother me how long they are. And you videos are better than many Hollywood productions this day.

Dave, you make me smile. Now I'm going to have to buy myself some more clothing for outdoors after watching your hour-long video. My wifeys going to have a hissy fitt LoL!! PEACE :-P

I was questioning myself do I really need an edc and a bug out bag then I started watching your videos i no longer feel that I have too much stuff. Absolutely love your videos your humor and laughter indeed uplifting.

Those jacket liners are so freaking warm they even make them for the military arctic pants

If 2 is 1 and 1 is none, you Sir are very will stocked lol. Thanks for the vid and look forward to part 2.

I've got a pair of red heads and within 6mos. The bottoms came off. Ivy been wearing my tan army boots for 40yrs.and still use them today. Rocks are some really good boots.

Idk if I've just gotten used to them but I wear wool socks year round I have the same omni wool socks you showed. I do pool service in Arizona so its plenty hot and I find they insulate my feet from the heat of the ground and keep me "cooler" than I would be otherwise. For reference, I wear big 5 magnum "storm" boots, blue jean's, cotton long sleeve with a 50 uv shirt over top, merino wool buff and REI cotton large brim hat all summer. The often low humidity likely makes all the difference but in my experience insulation can work both ways and even tho it seems counter intuitive. Insulation to some extent can keep you at a more consistent lvl of hot that won't exceed what's possible to work with when combined with proper ventilation hydration and easy pace. Just a random thought I love the videos, thx for sharing all the knowledge and gear. (Guess you're not the only one who can get long winded on things) always a pleasure, be well.

If every dollar we spend makes a statement, then your gear room is reflecting a multitude of items that not only suit your needs but have been created to stand up to the test of time. In a world where countries have dissolved into massive corporations it is more important than ever that we not only raise awareness of true value, but take care and maintain what we already have. I must say what i love about your videos {beside your blunt honesty} is the way you make me feel like your talking to me and not talking at me. Your communicational skills are way above average and your gear room is beyond AMAZING...! The only thing i didn't like is that part two is already made and your going to have mr néva wait two weeks to see it...? That just doesn't feel fair. ~ Enjoy your weeks end!

I really like Rocky boots too, they are some of the best

Looking forward to part 2... They say everybody is different, I can also wear wool against my skin, but can't wear any synthetics against it.. Great informative series 👍

Dave, you can open yer own store lol! What I usually wear for pants in winter or summer (the only 2 seasons we have here in upstate NY LOL) are jeans and sweatpants (different weights). If it is raining or snowing heavy, I'll grab my rain/snow pants, which are believe it or not, a pair of my bunker pants from when I was a firefighter (or the new pair I bought) with the thermal liner removed for warm weather or in for the cold. They are comfortable, warm in winter, 'airy' in summet and puncture proof. Usually anything else, my legs will either sweat or freeze. Unconventional, but it works for me. Shirts/jackets...I use the 'regular' stuff. What do you do for straight rain gear? Thanks for another great vid and shall see u in part 2.

Always interested in your views on clothing and very good tips and tricks. I thought I had a lot of cammo jackets at 4!. Now I have to laugh at my paltry sum. The gloves with the plastic knuckles are called tactical gloves over here in England and I have a pair which are the same as yours. Find them a bit awkward when closing hand but otherwise great for the price. Never knew about the parka leg attachment and was telling a friend about that as he has one! Many thanks as always for your attention to detail and the effort you put in to make such good and entertaining videos. Always appreciated. Looking forward to part 2. Regards as always, S.

I love your garage.... I'd live down there man!! So cool. Didn't think I'd learn much from your clothing review... but I DID!! Terrific video, Dave!! Thanks for sharing... looking forward to part II. God bless yas... Ax

What a GREAT collection..Thanks for sharing... Can't wait for part 2..

I can't believe that you don't work for Sears and Roebuck or J C Penny as a model Dave. Better yet one of the companies you mention. LOL. Don't be surprised if they don't give you a call. What a great supply you've got there. I've enjoyed seeing all the outfits. Looking forward to part 2.

VERY WELL DONE, David. Very Well Indeed I must say. And, I shore enjoyed it and I Learned a few things....Again. I'm Like You on the M-65 Field Jackets I LOVE 'Em too. And those Nomex Gloves are Awesome also. I Love mine. I LIKE TO get a pair of those ones you showed last the Tan colored ones, I've Never seen those before. I can't wait til the Next Video gets here......I like Long videos of this stuff I must say👍👍🏼

For LLBEan pouty jackets buy, the Maine Wardens Parka 3-layers and Goretex overparka. Comfy to -45* F. Around $200 Velcro, zippers and snaps. Hidden pockets and cinching straps for waist and hood. Haven’t lost any feathers yet, after 15-20 years using in woods of Maine.

Appreciate your videos David. It has been between 90 to 100 for 2 months here in Oklahoma, Jungle weather. I'm ready for fall and winter, bring it on. ray

Wow, as most folks have said you have a heck of a lot of gear. I really enjoyed seeing all the stuff and picked up some good pointers. I’m looking forward to part two. The time went by quickly because as usual you made it informative and entertaining. Thank you for posting.

That's deadly hot...I don't blame you. Stay indoors and make your own pyro putty in the basement or something Dave you know...something safe😂great video Need to buy a couple pair of those rappelling fast rope gloves for Mark in his wheelchair

Seriously helpful tips...thank you. You surely need your own clothing line.

I wish I had a Big Dog 7 hood in these -40° wind chill. The cold wind made my eyes water then it froze. I had ice cycles on my eyelashes. I'm going to be checking those out ...

Thank You for another video! I plan to watch it this weekend. BTW, I am still in my home, and today I checked out a new energizer headlamp on its power-saving "red" mode. I may have hear some gossip around my home, and if I heard it correctly, it is very amusing, and shows how some people might be thinking. I will not share the details, at least at this time. I also enjoyed your cooler video, but I have only watched about half of it so far.

I like the Balaclava pan holder. Cool. Take care.

That's an awesome collection so far, looking forward to seeing part 2. Thanks for sharing Dave, take care 👍🙂

My trusty Alpha Industries N-3B snorkel Parka.. Black.. Super warm! 15yrs old and still going strong!

That DPM jacket, although very similar to the British DPM, is actualy from the Dutch army. The patern is the same, but the colors have a diferent tone, and the buttons are diferent too, these are pressure ones. Really like your gear videos, good tips! Keep them coming!

Thank you for all the information. You're making this gear grab so much easier

Another great informative video Dave! Thank you for sharing. Thumbs up!

Great to visit the gear room. Thanks for the hard work you put into this video Dave,

Excellent video Dave, love looking at your gear....👍👍👍

The diamond shaped pattern shirt is an army level 2 thermal shirt, commonly known as the waffle top. The gaps in between the diamonds are to trap warm air for extra warmth and to wick moisture away.

You are not a hoarder! You are getting ready to retire! Then you can open you military store and supply! You already have more stuff than our Army Navy store!!!, O M G you got stuff!!!!

Wow and I thought my wife had a lot of shoes lol just joking. Seriously though it's always nice to be able to have to correct peices of gear the different situations. Thanks so much for sharing what you have along with your thoughts on its performance. Looking forward to seeing the rest of it. I've seen the acrylic socks in the store and thought that they were just some gimmick but now I'll get a pair. Thank you. God bless and stay safe.

I can't believe I watched the whole thing. And you are right for Canadians a toboggan is a sled. Love the videos keep them coming.

I think you have more outdoor clothing than I do. Really good job on part one. Where is the rain suit pants. I wore a army gortex rain suit top and bottom on a four day backpacking trip. The temperature never got above freezing. Amazing equipment.

Hi there bro. Comprehensive video, thanks a million. DPM although a British pattern, was also adopted by the Dutch army. The jacket you tried on, is Dutch and if I am not mistaken, it has (or is supposed to have) a goretex liner. Over and out from Scandinavia:-)

48:22 those hidden pockets are legendary!

Dave, I'm just amazed at most of your homemade gear. You really need to patent some of that stuff before someone sees it and beats you too it.
