Way to go Dave! I work at Scheels in Sandy, UT and walked by a video screen with your face on it and saw that we sell this awesome tool! I didn't realize it was designed by your father, that is great!!! Congrats! Thanks for all of the educational videos, they help a lot!

I remember when you posted the first video of this with the ranger bands and key ring and how excited you were. Its so amazing to see how far it has come. Congratulations Dave. you deserve it

Congrats Dave and family!! I first bought my pocket hunter system a little over a year ago. Maybe two years. And I gotta tell ya I love it! Took some getting used to at first. But I've got the hang of it now. Only thing I haven't done is bow fish with it yet. But I have practiced with the fishing attachment and it works just fine. Your a man of your word and I'm confident you won't put out a bunk product. Thank you!!

Dave, you trully are a craftsman. I was never a big fan of the bushcraft stuff, but now i see how your trade and craft can spill over into what I like. I am now a true supporter and your newest subscriber for life. Thanks

So what happened to the whisker biscuit? That was way better and it was just a makeshift improvised improvement yet ten times better

great vid Dave. thank you for everything you have done for the outdoor/bush craft community.

I purchased the adapter kit from your store. I have had a crossman sling shot since the 80's. It really is that simple. Opened the box, walked to the shed got 3 arrows from my quiver. Walked to the back yard bolted it on and started shooting. At 12-15 yards I hit an area about a pie plate pretty regular. One other thing, this was the 3rd time I've ordered something from you since you opened your new store. The order process if easy, the shipping is really fast and the products are great, thanks

Congrats on the Licensing deal...it definitely looks like a quality product. You did a very thorough job of explaining everything in this video...well done!

pocket hunter is one of the reasons i love dave, i remember seeing those vids of its conception, ranger bands with key ring, then wisker bbiscut, he was showing us how to make one!!! remember him saying how people were telling him he should patent it and he was reluctant to do so, he just wanted people to be able to do it!! glad he did thow, couse its much better than u can DIY and same cost or less. good job brother dave and God bless

I remember watching your first video on Sling-Bow a few years back, then watching all the little modifications you would make. It's been real exciting to watch the development of this product and I wish you lots of success with it. I'll have to buy one myself soon, from your website of course.

Congrats on the store Dave, i will buy from there in the future as soon as i pay these dam bills. That's one awesome set up. i used to be pretty good with a sling shot made from a tree fork and a inner tube. Great product. I wish all the success you can handle. You are such a asset to the outdoor community.

I am long time handgun hunter and the idea of going back to bow and slingshot have never appealed to me before but your system is so well designed and Multi purchased as well as compact that you have me sold. I will be adding this to my backup survival equipment and just to use for fun.

I think he is just really good at seeing himself through the eyes of the viewer and that makes him aware of almost every possible question a viewer might have so he takes the oppurtunity to explain that issue right away instead of having to answer a lot of comments or making more videos on the same subject :)

I have the upmost respect for your business, your lifestyle and your youtube channel provides my daily entertainment - will be ordering something from your store ASAP (even tho' i live overseas) to support you brother! Thanks a ton for all the knowledge you provide with a huge entertainment value !

Genius concept, and what great collaboration between a Father and Son. You deserve all of your success, Brother. Kudos

out of all of the survival gear produced from survival instructors in the past few years this is the most thought out and well made! Not to mention all of the design and R&D was done by Dave instead of just slapping his name on something designed by someone else. Thanks Dave i cant wait to buy one!

i'm very proud of you, dave. was here when you first intro'ed it. congrats

Hey Dave...excellent product...love hearing about the evolution of the pocket hunter system...Hope to order one soon.

Licensing is a huge deal. Congratulations to you and your family on this major milestone. Your success is well deserved.

I remember the video you had on that original slingshot with the key ring and ranger bands for the arrow guide.I'm impressed with the pocket hunter.

great stuff dave, im looking forward to possibly attending a advanced class next. your vids and teaching are all top notch. thank you for all you do.

bought one 2 weeks ago, deluxe kit, got fishing arrow and 3 piece arrows too. shipping was fast and the damn thing works well. the 55 lb bands are serious gear, hard to draw but powerful.

This is an extremely well thought out piece of gear. When I have the money, I'll definitely be picking one up.

Congradulation to you Dave and your father on a nice product. Hands down!

Wow, excellent design, I just made a sling bow with a sling shot and I saw the marksman at the store, I had a hard time deciding which I wanted beside price. I have fired my sling bow with golf tee knocks and key ring guide, but after this video I can see the amount of flawlessness in delivery of arrows too the arrow design. Im in awe... It's everything it should be, maximum adeptitude.

The first video of yours that I ever saw was the wrist rocket with the rubber tube bands and key ring. Now this is developed into a full system. I simply love it. Subscribed to you because of that video, buying this to add to my gear.

I was practicing with my sling bow one day with my friends and I let them try to hit a tree with a field point and a cheap arrow. eventually they gave up and I picked up the bow and shot the metal gun target next to it that was the size of a baseball at 10 yards. I broke the arrow but really impressed my friends. great idea and product and a ton of fun.

Dave, that looks like a great setup. Back in the day, my buddies and I all had the arrow attachment for our Wham-o slingshots. We sure had a lot of fun with those things. I don’t really need a pocket hunter, but I think I am going to buy one anyway and relive my youth :)

I remember when he put the first vid up of the rubber band on the key ring on a slingshot and I always loved the idea of it an made one myself.. So it's awesome to see how much time and effort went in to advancing the idea into a full blown add on tool and made the slingshot in to a multi use hunting option..

Magnificent product sir, looking forward to ordering one soon. It is good to know that my money will be going to the family responsible for it's creation in place of someone who contacted the patent office sooner. Planning on living a off the grid/nomadic lifestyle within the next year. This is perfect for what me and my associates are looking for.

i went to the store it was awesome Dave im going every Friday for the rest of my life

I loved the whisker biscuit idea and the realese with string idea

Happy for ya bud! Awesome job to you and the whole crew on his one

I like it Dave. Good job I love what you do and how you live. God bless n good luck

This is awesome. I mean, who wouldn't want this in their pack, permanently, no matter WHERE they're going? The hunting, backpacking, and survivalist communities should be all over this.

I love this system!!! I've been enjoying watching the R&D on this great tool!!!

I have ordered from the Pathfinder Store about 3 or 4 times and their shipping is very quick (3-4 days to NC). All the items I personally have bought I have been very happy with. Hope this helps you.

Shipping and Customer Service at the Pathfinder Store is 5 star in my book, Dave did his homework when setting up his store.

Congratulations on The Pocket Hunter. Perseverance breeds success.

I still have my marksman with the modification you suggested from way back bro. It's been a lot of fun to use. This is a great upgrade.

Hello Dave, thanks for all most excellent videos !!! I was sorry to see "no comments allowed" on your videos on sling shot and arrow ..I just wanted to say a giganteous thanks for this idea, was wondering how i was to make a bow from your posts and other "how to make a bow"..well no real need anymore ...shall make myself a sling arrow shot with the WB which seems to work great !!! Keep 'em coming the good vids ! Peace and good hunt ..

hey dave im a huge fan of your tv stuff

Genius! Congratulations. I can’t wait to get one.👍

Excellent... I've shot arrows off my sling shot for many years... these upgrades make it perfect. I'm in!

that is cool Dave I want to do every thing you do I've watch every single video for the past year and I'm going to save up my cash to buy the full set of the pocket hunter

Congratulations Dave . . . well done!

You should send one to the slingshot channel. He would love it and maybe shoot a video about it. More people need to see this survival tool. Its amazing!!

I'm gonna get one. My buddy had one on our last trip. It's easy to use and thats a frog wrecking machine ! We were out for two weeks and the pocket hunter gave us more food than the fishen rods. It may be molded plastic, but its tough !

I just bought a pocket hunter not that long ago, and I just wanted to share a modification I made. I have arrows that have plastic fletching, so when shooting with the heavy bands the arrow would get pinched in the back and want to come out of the gap at the top of the pocket hunter. What I did is tape over the gap with duct tape so the arrow cannot come out the top. Loading is a little more of a pain but the accuracy has improved a lot. I cant wait to try some fishing for some grass carp :)

Thank You. A very interesting set up.

Love these.ive got a deer and two rabbits with these. Great idea

I'd love to see a video of the fishing attachment in use in a Waters Edge episode! Looks like a nice compact product.

Huge fan,... My son and I are going to try this system this fall.

What comes to my mind with the take down arrows is due to their cost(though their worth every penny of $48)is the cost of loosing them if you miss the deer or wild boar you're shooting at.I don't mean to sound negative,just realistic.Hopefully you're a good shot and have practiced with cheaper arrows in order to be proficient with your new slingshot.To save money(I'm on a very strict budget due to my low pay)I bought the Marksman slingshot which only has the bow setup,not selfrelianceoutfitters slingshot.Hopefully I can become good at hitting targets then wild game once I practice.Thanks for the video,Dave.

I hope you have much success with the pocket hunter Dave. You and your Father did a great job on it. That patent process is a pain in the ass isn't it!

that's cool Dave going to get mine this Wednesday

I've seen your videos years ago. Then I saw this new commercial not too long the same idea. Totally thought they were ripping you off. Next paycheck I'll be buying from you you deserve it

Congratulations, and thank you for what you do.

Congratulations on making an idea become reality Dave!

Even though this is a good enough product to be sold as a standalone hunting and shooting device where it would really shine is teaching young people how to shoot bows and arrows. I have a 5 year old nephew who just got his first youth bow from one of the chain stores sporting goods stores and his biggest problem is keeping the arrow on the rest, with this the problem is solved. granted we only spent $25 on a bow and three arrows and the next upgrade was $75 and came with the whisker biscuit, but this would teach all the fundamentals before he stepped up to the next level. thanks for making a great product

Great video as always. I have been thinking about getting a pocket hunter for sometime I've made up my mind. I'm getting one :-) great video Mr Canterbury

Thanks for posting all these videos. It's a wonderful outdoor education, especially considering that it's free! That's an ingenious upgrade for a slingshot! I always used to carry slingshot bands in my survival kit, but it would've never occurred to me to use a slingshot to shoot arrows. That makes a considerable upgrade to its versatility to say the least. It looks like it would a lot of fun to fish with! About how much difference is there in arrow speed between the 42# bands & the 52# bands?

Ashley, there are quite a few outdoor education school in aus you just have to do a search to find quite a few. Better save up though

great video Dave. Im going to get one!!!

i agree, ive been eyeing that pretty hard over the past week.

Great survival kit. I'm an archer too. Ant in Scotland

That is really cool. I hope I can get it one day. Another great video, keep 'em coming Dave. -Allison

Great video Dave…thank you!

your dad is excellent at r&d for the pocket hunter. does the turkey decoy replicate when an arrow penetrates or is it made of stronger material ?

Excelente video gracias

How bout Ive been watching your videos forever wishing I could meet you or take a class but figured you was far WOW its the best day of my life lol I worked in McMurray for my teen years and went to south Fayette high school

Great vid you have a great mind to come up with this device

Very cool product.. and Dave is a good salesman too!

I would love to see a video for beginners on aiming one of these or a slingshot to hit a specific area on a target whether that be for practice or hunting. You mentioned using the upright (when canting) for an aiming device and when looking over the top of that aiming at your target, where should the top of it be on the target so the arrow enters the intended area? Thanks kindly and am a great fan, excellent videos by the way!

Dave, your pretty wise for how young you are. Kudos brother!

Got mine from Bass Pro . I believe it to be a back up just in case. I have a lot of bows some set for bowfishing some for hunting. But I think this is going to add to the fun of hunting small game for me so its why I got it.

This is utterly ingenious.

Hi dave, i shocked all my friends when i made one of the ones you made with the key ring. I found exactly what you said the arrow had drag across the rubber. It had decent accuracy but , the drag got to the point it wasnt consistant. I now have a pvc pipe set up i seen on yout tube here, it works but i didnt use it much. I wanted the whisker biscuit, but very exspensive, like 50 bucks here man . They changed the design , so wouldnt work anymore anyhow. great vid take care.

Dave I must say you appear a good shot and natural on the bow, not just this video, I would enjoy seeing you and Ray Mears in a archery shoot out, The three Bushcrafters I like watching the most is you, Ray and Sarge. Be nice to see you all together, if not a TV show a movie. About Boone or someone like that.

Hi Dave thanks for all the great instruction, your vids are top notch! My question is this, you mention several times that the hunting arrows can be utilized in bows as well as the slingshot placing emphasis on medium game, but are the arrows/arrow slingshot package utilizing the stronger bands capable of handling game ranging in the 100 to 150 lbs weight range? As lower tech bows/crossbows are still used today, what are your thoughts on extreme survival situations utilizing this package?

Damn ordered the one off amazon if you want this exact one go to path finder store because it's not the same. Great sling bow but no fishing attachment or extra band pretty bummed honestly

OUTSTANDING VIDEO!!! I want one now!!! Wife says "Gee Thanks Dave!" Lol

awesome Dave!!!

Thank you very much! ❤

Dave, are those shots at the turkey target from the standard bands or the heavy bands? And please man get a form filled out at TSP we have got to have you on about this and other things. You are one of only a very small number of folks I would work in to get you on early. Everyone else right now we are booking in September.

Dave could you do a video on what you carry on your belt and your belt?

I like these detailed "product review" videos.

Definately on my Christmas wish list. I still remember that key ring and ranger band video. It has been nice watching this product develope over the years. Do you sell the Pathfinder bow on your website, or is there a link to the one that does?

Dave that thing is quite..hell if you miss you got a good chance of getting a second shot..i like it..

how can a single take down arrow work for all # of bows because spine weights are all different and what is the spine of the takedown arrow anyway

Pathfinder longbow... my first time seeing that. I have a pockethunter and fits in my overall hunting kit along with my primal bow, Now I want to try those arrows.

Nice Dave. Looks like I'll be needing to upgrade my slingshot to one of these bad boys!

Excellent tutorial Dave. Can I ask you what the total weight of your take down arrow is, with 110gr tips? Thank you!

Nice system Dave! ..Tony.

Ok... I want and need one. Thanks.

You Rock Dave!

great bit of kit.. is the effective range increased with by using the 50 plus bands ??or it the effective range with accuracy … seemed to hit the turkey hard it fell over .asking what's the range on a higher trajectory , thinking Agincourt .. I've fired cross bows that go over the hill and far away … .plus good on you for manufacturing your kit in the USA,, the system looked quality and interchangeable don't sell out for profit ..

just saw one at fleet farm in wisconsin today!

Thanks, nice hunting tool ! ...Alan in 🇨🇱

Congrats Great tool.
