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'm currently having a great time going back through some of your old videos. I'm loving your new quick build take on the old Sammi lavvu - pure genius. Much food for thought about how to make life more comfortable when out in the wilds. Many thanks for your efforts.

still my favorite innovator hope you write a book with all your knowledge in it one day i would buy that

Nick: "Handy to carry things you dont need" Lol - - - great you are showing great stories with such humor. Dave, I like it, Michael

I lost my dad a couple of years ago and we were the same way with one another. Miss that, thanks for sharing these moments man.

Dave: we've watched Nick grow up from a precocious boy to a confident, talented, handsome young man. Nice to see him included personally in the videos. He is funny without being a smart allack. Hope you've taught him how to gas weld, TIG and MIG weld. Who knows where he's going in the future. You and your family are raising a wonderful young man. As for the ingenious tent/fire pot setup: pure Dave!

Cool! The idea of the 🔥 being higher than you, saves you from a lot of smoke. I learned that the hard way. Found a nice shelf on a cliff, that's where I'll sleep. With the fire beneath me. Well... Great upload thx.

Videos with you and Nick are the best. Father and son banter.

As soon as I get my Phd in engineering from MIT I will try this. Seriously, I am addicted to your hilariously entertaining projects.. A relief to see Nick is a chip off the old block.

Love to see you & your son together... memories you are making him for life. God bless you both! Love your videos.... thanks so much for taking the time for us! Come on up to NY and do one in the snow!

Thanks again Dave for such a wonderful video! I REALLY love seeing you and your son enjoying the great outdoors and each other's company! I wish I had videos of my Dad and I and our family on our many camping trips and outdoor fishing exploring trips...what a wonderful gift to pass on to your children and your grandchildren! Enjoy it while you and yours can, life will never be the same again sooo cherish it while you and yours can! May the Good Lord Bless you and yours and safe camping, bushcrafting to you and yours ALWAYS!!!

Nick sure has grown over the past couple of years (seems he might be getting a bit obstinate too!!!). I'm sure he's a good kid (every once in awhile 😉). Just remember to tell Nick that "You didn't forget the hole in the tarp (this time 🤣). I thoroughly enjoy watching the videos with Nick in them. Seems that Y'all have a wonderful relationship. I hope it stays that way for many, many years to come. Thanks for the great videos Dave and keep'em coming!!!

And Nick is back! With a sense of humour! Twice as much fun in the woods!

This is a GREAT one! You wrapped a " AIN'T THAT NEAT VIDEO " with your son Nick giving it to you with both barrels in a good natured family ribbing style. Thanx guy's!

Now this is a base camp!! I wish I had this when I was younger and deer hunting in the snow. Just goes to prove you can make things yourself and now spend a fortune just to enjoy the outdoors. Thumbs up Dave!

"Peek a Boo" just an example of the humor of your videos. Interesting but a lot more prep required than I would care to do especially with some of the simpler designs that you have shown. Love your channel.

You, sir, are a national treasure. These videos are getting me through the quarantine right now. I think this one is my favorite of your inventions so far, but I still have many more of your videos to go.

Another awesome addition to the library of videos. I think it's so great that you and Nick are able to have these special moments together. God bless, stay safe, and always enjoy your time together.

Love seeing you and Nick doing things together. I see he has your sense of humor. Lol. God Bless

I have bought a USB LED light that I throw into my pack and since I always carry my battery pack, I always have a flashlight with me. They are very light and very handy. Nice shelter. Lots of room. Love the fire pan idea.

Great vids as always David!! Nick, you are blessed to have a Dad like this... it is increasingly more rare these days. My Dad was/is like this too, and I never knew until I was older that most people don't get these experiences growing up. People like my Dad and your Dad inspire me to be a better Dad for my two daughters, who went on their first real backpacking trip last year. Cheers, Boys!!!

You can’t beat spending time out with family. Great vid you guys and great idea Dave. Take care look forward for the next 👍

Shelter, fire, and hot chow! Man, those are the creature comforts. Thanks for the video as always.

David... These people that want to complain are just that... complainers... Their opinions in my opinion are, for the most part, worthless. In my business I have found that people that complain are not worth fooling with. Your channel is one of my favorite channels. It is obvious that you are a good guy, with a good heart. The information that you provide is great. All of your inventions are very interesting and I will most likely copy many of them. Your videos are a valuable resource. Please don't let those petty complainers bother you. Just keep up the good work.

Howdy!!! Good to see Nick has lost his shyness (much to the chagrin of his father.) Virginia says the fondest memories of Dad were the teasing between the two of them. The best heated shelter with an open fire on U-tube....good job!!! By the way, Virginia loves your new camo (looks like I'm going to be spending more money on a new outfit,) Thanks for the show, Clark and Virginia

Hey brother David,it was so very nice to see you and Nick together again.We have watched that boy grow up and become a man,and from what I can tell,a very good young man indeed. Like always,I really enjoyed your video and your very thoughtful inventions.You & Nick keep up the good work,and May the Good Lord bless and keep you and your family. Randy

My favorite shelter yet. I had a three tree Teepee I built as a teen and spent most of my summer there. This has so much room and very efficent. Thanks for the videos. You and Nick get me so tickled. This shelter gave me some ideas to use at the family camp and plenty of room for my cot to fit with space to stretch. Dave you make things fun and let us laugh at ourselves.

David, I enjoy your, Nick, and Dads videos. Neat family!

I love how real this video is, real guys out in the woods just being themselves no showboating or product placement just real life, and important information. I can't wait to watch your other videos and so far I'm a big fan

So good to see Nick with you again, loved the double intro.

Fantastic shelter once again!It’s always great to see you and Nick out for an adventure together..

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.

Great invention of you David! Thanks for sharing this quality time with your son with us. :)

That is one hell of a shelter thanks for sharing Dave & Nick

This is the best quick set up I’ve ever seen. I’m definitely going to use what you’ve taught here. Much appreciated Dave!

i like all your videos, but the videos with you and Nick have some great interactions and I really enjoy when he's a part of the video.

I am AGAIN, truly amazed at what you can do!

The Volcano Tent !!!.....Another cool tent you made I like the metal ring and how it holds the legs

It is so refreshing to see such humble, good natured people about. Very encouraging. As far as content, this channel is very good. easy listening, good humor presentations, practical and easy to assimilate instruction and information. . . .And David, Nick has your 'HEY EVERYBODY" line down really good. Very funny!

I wish I had a friend (woods companion) to share the outdoors with lol I'm a 39 yr old who absolutely adores the outdoors and hunting/fishing. Especially bushcraft which me and my cousin used to call "pioneering " back 20 yrs ago when I had a buddy lol! But anyway it's nice to see you guys hanging out in the woods I can tell it's nice to have that company and u guys enjoy what your doing! Someday soon I'm going to just walk my useless butt into the woods and keep walking until I can't anymore and where I fall, that's where the story ends......

One more thing love father son stuff. Your team not just. Father and son but a team of love that hard to find these days

Yay! Happy Friday! A new video from David 😊 awesome! This is very clever, as usual 😊 I could see where you were going with this one immediately.. Lol thanks for sharing it with us! The hardware you assembled for the top ring and fire pan were great.. I've been checking out different types and gauges of chain to carry in some of my kits.. I have some of that cable already too 😁 .. I found a really interesting looking pot at goodwill a couple days ago.. I thought of you immediately!! Lol I'll have to put together a care package for you with all the weird odds and ends I've found, just to see what you come up with 😜 thanks again for the video Hon, always nice to see Nick get out with you too! Talk to you soon!

I'll tell you, it's like going back in time seeing Nick! I wouldn't be surprised if someone messaged you two to be in a commercial or movie! I know you here this a lot, but, he sure is the spitting image of you!

Nifty rig indeed! You two are so fun to watch, thanks!⚡️🌎🐄

Great place to spend a day or two! Thanks fer the share Dave & Nick! ZZ.

3 signs of getting old. 1. You need glasses. 2. You start to forget things. 3. Your son carries the bigger ruck. ;) Greetings from Germany from an old bald guy with glasses.

Awesome tent & fire pan! You get the best ideas! And Nick, great camera work and hilarious t-shirt! Thanks, guys

You sure do have really good tricks and ideas for the back country. But is hard to go about your own life and responsibilities, make a video, and teach at the same time. Great video, you guys are very entertaining to watch, and still learn. God bless you.

awesome setup. One thing though, You might wanna flip the last cable upside down, and attach it up top with one of the loops and a hook, then use the fixed hook for your pot..that way you can adjust the height and not have any "extra" cable hanging down into the fire Also, I loved your video about the tarp tent with a fire place made with sticks and a fire blanket, gonna try that one out soon, thanks!

Remember when Nick had to be begged to comment during taping? Ahh, they grow up so fast. Great video, y'all. Informative and entertaining, as always!!

Really good to see you two out there and putting that together. Thanks for the video Dave and Nick. Have a great great night out in the woods.

you two are amazing together i wish i had a relationship with my dad like you and nick have .i love your content its amazing learning all these skills from you thanks

This very important bushcraft channel and the video he’s makes are great way to help people learn about bushcraft activities and education people learning about outdoors and I am glad to support this amazing man and his experience exciting bushcraft channel 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀😀👍👍🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴🤴

Awesome video David super inventive nick did a grate job! All keep it short and simple but thank you for your creativity content I'm thankful for coming across your amazing outdoor channel😎🌲🌲

A man that loves his father is a beautiful thing to see.

Hello Dave and Nick!! Loved this video. You must not have bad winters in Georgia. We had a pastor of our church from Georgia once. It was so funny when it came about a foot of snow here in Va. to watch his family. They were so happy because they said it didn't snow in Georgia. I personally absolutely HATE snow. Think his name was Preacher Renew. We really loved him. As a mother to you Dave, "Don't forget your light!". LOL. Really, really loved the tent style setup. The inside fire pan and cooking is a brilliant idea. Take care now and love you both.

A tip for the pot/kettle holding wire. Invert the wire, putting the loops at the top. One you don't burn your hands on the fire, when lifting the kettle to a new position, and the excess wire is not in the way. What is that fire blanket made of? I like Nick' shirt. As always, a great video. Just remember:- Your memory is excellent, it has not failed you yet, the only things you cannot remember, are the things you forget.

I know, as a general rule of thumb, you don't ever sell any of the things you make but, I sure would like to get my hands on one of those teepee rings. And no, I can't weld. Great idea.

We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun....thanks for the video Nick and Dave.

Greetings to my fellow Southerners from Sunny Florida,USA!...love your channel!

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 !!

Wonderful video! really enjoyed the father and son banter...none of that yes sir, no sir here....just two friends enjoying life!!! i love the Fire pan and pretty much the whole system...Thanks David and Nick...awesome!...woods

Dave I hope I pray you make a million subscribers ! Your a real,real good man ! And I hope you take us camping.🔥👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🌈

It is really great to see someone having ideas and trying them out. That’s the only way to learn. Do it, then see what worked and what needs to change. Love it.

Another great, great video. What a creative mind you have, yikes!You both make a wonderful duo. Thank you for sharing.

"Peek A Boo!!" Killed me. I was thinking about how your new poncho was a little too big for hiking.

Not only would I buy his book. I would buy that round ring. He would sell everything he makes. Put the price to it and give the people a change. Love what u do Thanks.

Love your attitude Dave , that son of yours will probably grow to appreciate your greeting.

I think that's the best thing you have built so far! I think you need to patent it quick and take it to market.

Great Video as usual, I really appreciate the way you show the honesty of how not everything goes as planned like some of the "Reality" TV show guys do!! It's refreshing. Glad to see Nick back on the camera, hope he's doing well in College.. Thanks again Dave, will be sharing this in multiple places!!! See Ya in the next one

Hey David and Nick! Another good and very creative video. Good to see y'all again. Glad to see your channel doing so well. Thanks for sharing.

Nick's entrance with the verbal and the salute --- are just priceless, I don't even care what I learn in this video now, that is the highlight, God Bless that kid hahahahahaha!!

If I was shown pictures of various camp set ups there is one thing i would be able to identify every time......Yours!..... your style and craftsmanship is unique to this environment. Reallybigmokey1 at its best, great watch....

Great Video I always enjoy your videos. It inspires me to go camping.

Love the shelters you build . TY. Plus you should name it the volcano shelter .

I used o do this every weekend, but its been a long time now. you both inspire me to get back out there. I enjoy watching you both. thanks for sharing

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!

Its good to see you & Nick again, David. I like your design on the Top piece you made up and the Cable System & Fire Plate and all. Very Nice System. Dave, you getting like me now, you need to make yourself a "List" to pack your Pack. he-he. 😊

Dave, very good shelter and cooking set up......enjoyed it a lot.

you are truly a bushcrafter. I don't get out enough anymore to do that kind of stuff. I sure would like to cuz I've learned quite a bit from you. Thanks!

Dave uploads a new video: Next step, grill some chicken, whip up some fresh turnip greens with rutabagas and enjoy late lunch while watching. PS Don't forget the pepper sause. Enjoyed both the Video and Lunch Dave. God Bless

Hey Guys, i just wanted to say that Nick, pull a great "HEY EVERYBODY" I understand thats is your intro, but it just got better Nick... Keep up the good work, is nice to see a Pops and Son, Bushcraft video....

Love, love, love your videos! Thanks for sharing! I'm learning so much from you. I love to camp, hike and backpack with my dog, Cooper. I'm going to try and get out there with him a bit more often then I do now. I love Nick's shirt!! Thanks! Vic (Cooper's mom) and Cooper

Thanks for the reply Great vid as always. Great to see father and son having "fun in the woods"

Another great video . I really like this set up.you should sale them rings, thanks captjohn.

Great Video, enjoyed it, I like the shelter, & it was a fun video.

That was awesome thanks for sharing. Boy Nick is really growing fast . Have a great day 📸👍👍👍👍📸

Cool Stuff: pyramid/chimney ring with triangular support pole connections, elevated fire pan, etc ... all very cool. Thx, I enjoy your channel.

Wow what a video! And what a channel, you guys got a lot going on over here👍 I love the camera personality you guys have and how well you play off one another! You can truly see the bond between you💪👍

I really enjoy watching these videos.. or as you may say, an awesome little jewel 😁👍👍

Nick your a lucky man to have a dad that cool you guys rock

You guys look and sound like twins!..great video, thanks❤

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.

That ring is pure genius! Love the fire pan suspension!

Hi David and nick great video good one guys thanks

👋🏼 Heeey Everybody! 😁 that was funny. Great video as always

dave you are truly a outdoor EINSTEIN LOL!!!;-)

Tell Nick that your intros always make my day!

Sweet and affordable !👍👍👍👍👍👍🌈we love your stuff ! Thanks for sharing !👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🌈
