I learn at least two or three new things in each of your videos. Sure beats watching commercial television.

I've been camping plenty of times, but I just learned a LOT. Never saw that dogbone or crossing the stakes before.

Good stake out with the canoe, good height, two people good, lot of room. Just got my replacement tarp from Tentsmith, Yeah new tie outs. Deer camp went well only two showed, lot of deer only one gave an affordable shot, NEF-bp, done. The alpaca blanket did very well, OH. temp was 16-19 degrees with 4" snow, as long as I had a good fire, great, about every 3 hrs, woke up cold had to feed the fire, good for another 3 hrs. Never got it wet, so unknown about wet alpaca's quality wet, VERY soft. Thanks Dave

Dave I love how you make the simplest things interesting , Thank you.

Loving my boreal wool shirt, glad to see Sir Dave wearing his. Great kit from a great guy

Thanks for sharing, Dave. I love your attention to detail.

As always, thanks for all you do Dave.

I am always amazed at the level of bushcrafting know how you have Dave. Thanks for another interesting video.

This series has been really excellent!

From one vet to another thank you...learn something new everday. Never seen the cross staking method. The dog bone you made for the guy line reminds me of the old GP tents guy line system.

Great video, Dave. I wish that I was able to make it to one or more of your classes. Being in the military makes it much harder to just go out for a few days at a time to just live off the land and enjoy myself. I appreciate all your videos and vast knowledge that you share with all of us that aren't able to do what you do every day. Thanks for sharing another great video.

that dog bone was simple and effective , awesome . Thx for sharing Dave.

I liked the ideas with the dog bone and with the cross staking. Thanks for the tips Dave.

Again Great info Dave, and by the way I love that old Case Folder you were using

That cross staking is one top tip that I've never thought of, will be using that in the soft forest floors I get out in. I just use an adjustable knot on the guy line though instead of the dog bone you created, less work and saves your tools edges.

wildernes outfitters drinking game... Any time Dave save "just like this" take a shot. everytime he says bank line sip your beer. Of course, play in moderation.

I prefer my "steaks" made out of beef! Thank you for the continued knowledge and teachings Mr. Canterbury.

Good information. I will forever be a student, so much to learn!

Hey Dave I love all your vids keep up the good work. I have another place people can find bank line for a good price fishing supply stores jts called siene twine it comes jn many colors as long as you get black jts tarred and the same thing as bank line for the big rolls its any where from 10 to 18 dollars. I live in the pacific northwest the seattle area we have a lot of commercial fishing suppliers here thats where i get my bank line. I have not found it cheaper any where else. You just have to remember to call it siene twine i asked for bank line and the guh bad no idea what i was talking about. You can google fishermans supply stores in wa stae and find a tore that you can order it from online. I had to share thus with fellow woods men and figured one of your vids whould be the best place. Thank you Dave for sharing all of youu knowledge with all of us you are a great man!!!

Thanks for the great lesson Dave.. I will apply this knowledge someday! Happy holidays - Alex and Joyce (your fans)

Another great Vid Dave thanks.

Great video! Thanks!

Nice set up! Dave

cross stake learned something new thanks dave . good video!

You're the best Sir! Please don't stop making videos :)

Good info. Neat little trick with the dog bone,thanks for sharing.

that cross stake pointer is freakin genius. never thought of that. awesome

Thanks for the video Dave

Yep, definitely the best channel on KZfaq! Would it be a good idea to fire harden the tips of the stakes?

I wish I had the time to go out and do stuff like this more! Currently redoing my woodland EDC bag as a "Sir Dave" bag.

Too cool! Can't wait to use these tips!

You da man Dave!!! I love watchin your videos, keep doin what youre doin brotha

oh wow thats really cool! Thanks Dave!

I carry stakes in my hiking/camping bag but awesome to watch how it can be done with wood and the dogbone is a added bonus. Thanks for sharing ;)-

'Don't use your knife for anything you can use your axe for' I like it :)

That's great... To bad I always end up kicking my guy line, or stripping over it.. or stepping on the stake. LOL Thanks for the great video Dave.

The stake on top of other stake is a great idea. Thx for the vid

Nothing interesting on the tv tonight ..but here is the key solution......"The pathfinderschool" Great vid, Great tip Regards from Spain.

Thanks for the awesome vid!

Aluminum soda/pop/beer can tabs work as a cheap, light & easy to carry adjustable guy-line "dog-bones" too.

I enjoyed this, Thanks Bro..........

Love Pathfinder school

Much appreciated, all these tips!

Great vid, i like the double staking method. Havent seen that before, to cool, good vid.

great tips dave,,, ..bill

The dog bone line adjuster was cool and cross staking in soft ground was the most importent. I would like to make a tee pee out in the woods have you ever set one up Dave?, I like your short how to vids. Very informative.

How do you keep the water from the ground away from your browse bed?

You can get a 36", 3/8" oak dowel from Home Depot for $1.40.

tautline hitch will work as well.

Good tips!

Outstanding

It's not what he does but the way that he does it. Knife techniques!

That's one muddy campsite!

thanks for the tips on the dog bone and cross staking. Would you have to use a different method if the ground was frozen?

Excellent video! Do the dog bones ever slip in windy conditions? Or, does the friction from the taught line always keep it in place?

Good info, thanks for the tips. looks like y'all got some snow too. just curious, is that wool anorak you're wearing as warm as the wool coat ?

Man Dave your Axe is sharp, dont know if I can get my Home despot (lol) special that sharp I may need to use a grinder first! or file.

Been watching the Journal of the Yurt series again, were you ever going to do a journal of the cave like you mentioned ?

Thanks

How do you get a fire close enough to do you any good for heating I winter camping with guy lines in the way?

Good

Would you fire harden the tip of the stakes?

Is there a huge difference between the weights of bankline? You talk about #36 bank line. I found a 1LB roll of #48 for $9.99 so I bought it. Will I notice a huge difference between #36 and #48?

Hey Dave, getting an error when trying to play. I'll check back later. Thanks

always learn simple things that are obvious soon as you demonstrate them

Dave, we know you carry at least 2 small saws, your little folding saw and the one in your multi tool. Why would you baton on that beautiful Case knife and take the risk of going to hell? Good video.

Tried n true tip. Nice

i always thought they were called "guide lines".

what is the name for hats like that

i like my steaks cooked medium rare thank you. ;)
