Ya gotta' love Nick. He adds that special something to the videos. Typical teen at the time. And it's all great. I'm pretty sure Dave wouldn't have it any other way. No matter what, it's a great day when your son will be by your side and go on the adventure with you. I salute all you Dads out there that take the time to do outdoors with your children. There are no better memories. Trust me on that.

I love your videos. You remind me of my brother. We grew up with his weird, crazy and sometimes useful inventions. Just like you, he created all kind of things in the woods and everywhere else possible. We had a good size working ranch, but also farmed our own foods vegetables and meats. Our family learned to work hard but played hard too. The ranch was a place the whole town felt comfortable visiting. We grew acres of ribbon cane and every year family, friends and town folk came out to watch the syrup making on the mill my grandfather and dad built. This was the one and only time during the year our big old spoiled rotten horse Nancy worked. Guess she paid her keep walking round and round as the town folk gathered. When the lids were tightly screwed onto each jar my grandmother and her quilting friends made sure they were wiped clean. Pure warm gold is what it was. A hush would fall over the crowd as a line quietly began forming. Dad would tell mother to get enough jars for the 5 of us till the next season and the rest was divided among the others. Everyone went home with a jar or two i assure you. I miss those days. I love that you tell people to get off the couch and make some fun memories. And the woods is the absolute perfect place, especially spending time with family. I have learned some neat things you've shared. Keep doing this. It really does make a difference in others lives. Thanks for your time and efforts.

Hey Dave,(and Nick), Thanks for making my day sirs,...another good one for the archives... it was good seeing the two of you together spending some outdoors time in the woods...Well Dave, you've taken yet another awesome idea of your mentors, added your own spin, and gave us all something brilliant.Awesome ideas,...I'd have loved to see how the original was cobbled together without the ''Daveisms'' applied, the hubcap idea is just priceless...What minds your camp-mates had,... you were so fortunate to have had the experiences of learning from such talented gurus of the woods. Back in ''the old days'', when I was younger, we would camp a lot as a family, and many times would forget a key item or two...Well, after actually omitting a sleeping bag once, I came up with a simple system...A CHECKLIST !!....I compiled that list and added to it whenever we said ''I sure wish we had a ....." I made about 50 copies, and used it every time we went camping from then on...now, of course the list was huge, and not all things went on all trips, but it was so nice having that check-list to refer to...It made preparations a breeze....( Seems like a no-brainer I know, but so many folks do actually prepare without a list, I'd thought I'd mention it, ) Thanks again for another fun video man...'Till next time, you guys stay healthy, and God's Blessing to you and yours Brother...ATB...CHEERS !!

Hi Dave and Nick. Hey whippersnapper, I loved your shirt! (I can use that term cause I'm that old. Lol). Really enjoyed this setup. I guess I'll be heading to the hardware store. The use of the cable appealed to me. I would like to play with a few different configurations. You always inspire me my friend! It was great seeing both of you together. All the best!

Another great video Dave. Hope you and Nick had a wonderful Christmas. Finialy after all the time I have been watching your videos and gathering me gear so I can go out. I am now a proud owner of a Mora. Got one of them because of all the ones you have shown and your glowing recomendations. I can say this, it is sharp. But looking forward to praticing making feathers and notches soon with it.

Dave, Nice work. Like that you can have a fire in the shelter, with a pretty simple design. Odd seeing you make a shelter without several hanks of rope. You should have hidden Nick's flashlight! Take care.
