Could you do a video specifically and detailed on a bed roll for very cold weather.
Hey Dave! Greetings from Alberta, Canada. The way you fold your tarp around the blanket actually does make a difference. I recommend that the final fold around the blanket should keep the hem to the inside (only folds visible along both edges, not hems). This gives added protection for the blanket from driving rain finding its way in. Additionally, it will help you to not lose small items. As for the rest, I personally prefer a good, thick long-fibre, high nap (fuzz) wool blanket. The long fibres are far less itchy, but makes them hard to get and very expensive. However, they are worth their weight in gold if both you and it are wet. Be sure whatever you use easily covers ALL of you. One size does not fit all. Folks who are taller or a bit more round here and there will require a larger roll kit. That's all I use except for a foam camp mat for the whole year unless it's deep winter and colder than -20C. That's a whole different ball game. Cheers.
Kinda reminds me of my years in the infantry, back in the seventies. I was straight leg and this was before the army rucks. We carried a buttpack on our pistol belts with suspenders attached and carried a tankers roll attached the the top of the suspenders. The tankers roll was our canvas shelter half with our air mattress on top of that then our sleeping bag on top, then the sides of the shelter half were folded over the right and left sides and the points at each end folded over the ends making it fairly water resistant. Each soldier had 3 wood tent poles (about 18"each) and 5 aluminum tent stakes. We would space the poles out dividing the bundle in thirds and then place the stakes in between them. Then starting at one end you would roll it as tight as you could make it. Then you would put your spaghetti straps on and cinch it up even tighter. After that it clipped into our LBE suspenders.
I was issued that crap in the 80's...Revolutionary War technology...canvas shelter half..bunch of crap! Never used it, slept on top our tracked vehicle and knocked the snow off in the morning. Good training.
Good timing! I just picked up a wool blanket to go with my diy oil skin painters tarp for some motorcycle assisted camping.
What blanket did you get and why? tyia
What size painters tarp?
Motorcycle camping is life. It combines the two activities I love most and it's a great challenge to pack your bike with enough gear to be comfortable without the excess. Have you ever used the Free Camping app? I used it this past spring out west and found some beautiful out of the way camping sites not far from major highways.
I went to see your video of it and there isnt one. 🤔🤨
@@mickeybroderick8902 , I used an alpaca US King sized blanket I bought while they were a bit cheaper... about six years ago. I think I paid $117 for it. Now? Anything under $200 is cheap. It weighs about 6 lbs. but can keep two people warm in late autumn.
This was helpful to me on my first bike-packing trip (old mountain bike + cargo trailer). Space was limited, as well as my budget. I stayed nice and warm with padded picnic blanket an inflatable sleeping pad, twin wool blanket, an inexpensive twin down camping quilt/blanket, and merino wool under layers, and of course my 2 person tent. The wool blanket/down quilt took up less valuable space than my synthetic sleeping bag.
It would be really cool to see you make a bedroll with all modern lightweight material. To see how small and light you can get it while still being comfortable
I really appreciate this I grew up with this training from my family and lost them too early. Very helpful and good memories of good people
Love the old school, new school, hybrid mentality. It really allows one to work around what they have and change it up to suit ones needs. Atb Sean
Thanks Dave
Always a pleasure to watch your straight forward and uncomplicated, minimal gear advice
As a vet of almost 62 i appreciate your channels because we did the thing with minimal gear and no gadgets really. The gadgets were not invented or tested and tried then
Take care and keep on keeping on
Heads up
Eyes open
No fear
Thanks Dave for going back to old school Dave and doing what got you where you are today! A long way from fishing in Florida and 18th century reenactments! There are only 2 types of people... Poor man and well off... you went from poor man to well off.... Please don't forget about us poor men who still look up to you for your wealth of knowledge but don't have the means to pay for your classes or pay for subscriptions to obtain knowledge but still want to learn and enjoy the outdoors. I do realize that it's always about money, that's what makes the world go around.... But please don't forget about us poor folks living paycheck to paycheck. Thanks
Great video. It's been a warm winter so far in NH, but the cold weather is coming. I've been busy investigating the ruins of a lost native city...
We are getting snow Sunday
If you were born here, you are a native too, never forget that.
@@therealbigfoot3076 Here they are saying Mon to Tues snow. Maybe a foot....
The closer to common sense a post is, the wider and more encompassing the message. He always sums up his post with an understandable set of ideas which SEEM so SIMPLE, but are actually the result of long exposure to the outdoor life. Good job.
Great video Dave. I know you try to teach a little something for everyone, but this video is exactly my style. Simple, functional, reliable. Thanks.
Versatile, simple, practical and functional. Thanks Dave. I enjoyed watching!
Hi Dave and thank you for all the effort and word you put into teaching us how to be a bit more self-reliant in the outdoors. As a former Scout Master, and a teacher of young boys in a new program our church is now implementing, this technique will be an excellent tool/resource. I can already hear the boys' excitement once we show them how to make a warm comfortable bedroll.
Thank you Dave. I will use this.
I mix modern and traditional as well.
Travel light, freeze at night
You Sir, are a household name. May they speak of you as we speak of the greats today.
I own every one of your books thus far and hope to own any additional books you put forth. Thank you and your school for all you do and thank you for your service, Sir.
Love the video and agree completely. Though, as a big guy, some of my choices are made for me. Not too much modern gear is made to fit my size, so i tend to have to DIY quite a bit of it.
I have the same challenge, they dont make much for big guys.
My bedroll goes inside my Pathfinder dry bag, cause you can bet, if I'm in the woods, its going to rain.
I like that winter setup. I’ve use a day bag or sling bag with my MSS for a light weight set up. Same concept just with modern gear.
Hey Dave I hope you are preserving these videos so you can be the next generations Nessmuc or Kephart. You will become the legend that will teach our great grandchildren how to live in the woods. Thanks for all you and your school does to educate the masses on wilderness life and living in various conditions.
As always Dave good informative video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us! Looks like you don't have much snow there yet,not much here in Maine either.
I love the teaching videos. Learned a lot brother.Just a reminder, you promised a tour of your supply shed. 🏕
Those woods behind him is his supply shed 😉
Really good video Dave. Lots of wilderness wisdom neatly rolled up!
Cool to see the different setups Dave.
I’ve always wondered how they folded those. Now to step up my game
Awesome video. Now to set mine up for my trip next summer
Great video Dave, love it! You got alot of knowledge for sure. Ty
Nice one Dave, I did see that bedroll post on fb. Happy New Years to you and your family 👍🍻
Hello Dave, great instruction, very clear and didactic, simple and objective, grateful to share knowledge and experience, enjoyed the class too much, hug from Brazil.
Thank you for showing us your bedroll setups Mr.Canterbury
Thank you for this video it opened alot of information for me about bedrolls and haw it is thought to work and how every component works together with the other ... and most of all. How a Wintersetup is done.
Giving this a like before i even watch it, as bedrolls are always a fun topic.
Good information Dave. Thank you.
I like what you said about mixing and matching the modern & traditional. I ordered a wax canvas pack and then ordered a modern dry bag for the inside of the pack. someone might ask why bother with the traditional pack but my thinking is that I want a durable pack "shell" that won't burn through with a spark from the fire, stand up to abrasion better, and the dry bag to keep things dry... of course but to also add a bit of structure.
Your roll reminded me of tarp rolls for salvage tarps at work. Thanks Dave!
Best bushcraft guy on CZcams
Great video David.... I enter mix old with the new. I find as I get older it's easier carrying a little less weight. I enjoy watching your videos very informative thank you. I have my father's original military wool blanket and it is great. They don't make them like that anymore....
Really enjoyed this Dave!
Thanks Dave, Got mine together today, went with an 6x8 tarp and blanket. Definatly heavier than my dynema tarp and puffy blanket but much more durable. Having a hard time finding that compromise between durability and weight.
I like the wool blanket Idea; thanks for all the excellent videos, always lot's of good info : )))
I found that a padded shooting mat I bought on Amazon (NcSTAR VISM Roll Up Shooting Mat) works as a bedroll and comes with it's own shoulder strap. It is water & chemical resistant. I put a down sleeping bag inside along with a poncho and roll it up. I have a 10' x 10' nylon tarp attached to the D rings. Minimalist shelter setup.
Air mattres is cold as hell in the winter, they get holes and fail. Always use a foam pad.......
You must have the wrong one some Expeds have an R value of up to 7.5 and I have slept on them well below freezing
@@DavidCanterbury My Exped mat is amazing. 2 pounds and hell, I'd leave out food to make up the weight!
I still love your Finishing Line. Greetings from Germany.
Another great video Dave! Look forward to the next one
Thumbs up for your name 😂
enjoyed it Dave , , , thanks for the excellent videos this year , , looking forward to more in 2020 best wishes : - )
Dave your a great instructor. When I was I kid cub scouts then Boy Scouts and in jr hi I had a science teacher mr Ritter. He started a hiking club once a month we would go on a weekend backpacking trip with these types of class instruction in between. Each class and trip was bigger better and longer. And at the end of the year we would have our last hike into the Grand Canyon Havasu pi galls for a week and from there hike back to the Colorado river. It was a wonderful experience I carried into my time in the Marines and still live today. I wish more people would get this type of training that people like you provide. I fear that it is becoming a lost art and way of survival.
Awesome vid.. Thanks Dave
Like the set up ,it's about all you need.
I'm digging those bedroll straps!! 👍
Very cool to see old school vs new gear technology.
Awesome brother, that's one goal of mine, to add to my "INCH BAG".
Have a "EDC" in my POV.
Thank you.....
I liked your in the shadow of nessmuk video's. And all your other one's. And I just wanted to thank you for making them.
Thank you for your service sir
Awesome video !!! Thanks ...Alan in 🇨🇱
Great video brother, God I love that loomed wool blanket! It's too bad you cant get them anymore.
Handy for taking up floorspace instead of driving during the holidays.
There is always a lot of talk abouthe the wool blanket to sleep in. And in my experience it is sill chilly even could with only a blanket. I would say based on my experiene to add a tarp of some type to wrap in with the blanket. Wind still gets in with a blanket and covering up as well with a tarp helps even more. Basically like a bedroll but you need another tarp for a roof if it will rain. My learning experience was in puerto rico. I knew nothing and only wore the clothes on my back and a jean jacket and i actually slept out like that on a rock and a couple other times along a river in the jungle in the mountains of puerto rico. Needless to say i got hardly zero sleep and waited till the sun would finally rise. Then going to a store one day i bought a blanket and a blue tarp. My next sleep in a grassy field was amazing. Later finding an abandonded falling down house in the jungle i also had several nights of great sleep. One other thing is the flashlight. I had it to navigate to my camp at night but one day i left it and went to town figuring i would get back in time. After stopping at a rodeside bar day became late and after i left to walk for another hour to get back by then it was night. This was the final time i slept out in my t shirt beside a tree. The 2 cows kept me company till finally what seemed like eternity the warm sunshine came up again. I made it back to my camp and slept. The important items here were the blanket and tarp and the flashlight. I didnt have a headlamp back then in the 90’s i had a 2aa incandescent maglight.
Is that a Bakers blanket Dave? I’m so jealous ;) I was so close to buying an antique barn loom so I could start making my own.
Make your own loom!
Dang ... This is phenomenal vid
Got some Christmas money as a gift, ordered your Bushcraft 101 book. Eagerly waiting...
Great video, thanks.
This is antiquated technology and it is super heavy and bulky to carry. Also, it is not really a very warm system when you look at weight to warmth ratio.
Car camping, maybe. Reenactor, ok. But not for carrying on your back over long distances.
Always informative. 👍 👍
The slot for axe and squirrel cooker was new for me. I do this towel fold that works like the old tuck and fold Glad sandwich bags. I'll skin the cat this way for awhile.
Outstanding
Great vid Dave I get asked alot why not carry stuff in the bed roll ppl just don't realize that's what you do
Not to be weird, but Mr. David's hands... gracious day, this man could take down a grizzly.
Thank you
I like these traditional type bed rolls, I just need a horse to carry them for me lol
Dave, what do you think about adding a hammock to the bedroll? I like the idea/style of the bedroll, but I don't usually sleep on the ground and tend to use a hammock in the woods. Thanks Dave.
Dave is the king
looking solid :)
Ive been wanting to put together a bedroll myself
Hi Dave, I don't go out in the woods by my self, I always have family or friends with me. One of the things that ways heavy on me is what if some one gets injured in the woods.
I go with a USGI bivy, Swagman Roll and air mattress.
Swagman is fantastic!!
Thanks for another great video Dave. Calvin Rutstrum was a huge advocate of the air mattress, and he's considered traditional in his ways and writings. He's one of my heros for sure... writing wilderness books from the early 1900s through the late 1970s. Where can we find one of those gum blankets? Who makes the bedroll straps? Here's to a great new year for both of us.
Awesome reads for certain
Love the sleeve. We're may I find one,or is it a DIY thing. Thank you Dave
Dave what do you do to workout. Do you do weights, cardio, or lug a heavy pack around?
Spaghetti straps is what we called the Sleeping Bag Carrier which you're referring to as the Bed Roll Straps. Great presentation of how you make your bed rolls. Fleshes out how it's presented in your latest bush craft book: "Bushcraft Illustrated - A Visual Guide" for those of you who haven't purchased it.
I noticed in the background the 5 B's of First Aid which I've never heard of. Don't you teach the ABC's of First Aid? You know, Airway, Bleeding, treat for shoCk and Dressing.
Did we forget to send you some winter? We have extra in Minnesota we could send your way.
Dave thank you for the awesome ideas! I was wondering if these bed roll's would also be the same for the Horsemen that pack out for an over night or two? Would you roll it up the same to tie it on the back of the saddle?
Thanks for the great video. How well do you think this would work in the UK i.e. a damper climate?
Hey Dave, I was searching your content for a vid on the proper handling of an axe for bucking and splitting... can you maybe do a video on that subject?
heirloomseeder 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Awsome video Dave. Glad to see you on your own video. I'll be watching. Haven't seen you in years since DS with you know who. Thx again Dave for your videos. Do you just do surival gear? What about knives and guns for protection and hunting off grid. Thx again
Awesome as always, thanks man🤙
I’ve been wanting to pick up a gum blanket for a while now based on your vids. Is there a source you’d recommend for the blanket? I’ve poked around but haven’t found one quite like yours.
Some people are allergic to wool. What could you use instead? Thanks for the given recommendations
Fun stuff
Nice video thanks 👍. Like I said before travel light freeze at night old saying. Personally I think the water is the worst 2 canteen and a camel back 8.33lbs to the gallon but you have to compensate ammo and other things are a necessity along with food. And socks at The min 1 pair some wipes for bad day's monkey but is the worst. And if you want a cigar or 2 . One other thing is a Zippo heater carrying 2 and if it's cold at night pass it around to heat sleep system up your going to be the hero and a small can of fluid for the heater depending on how long you will be out then dubble it's nice to be warm.
Happy new year and thanks for all the great videos may there be more next year
Been looking for a 7x5 gum blanket but can only find 6x4’ish
Awesome video brother, thank you. I do have a question... could you point me in the right direction to get an oil skinned canvas tarp, or do you have a video on how to make my own?
Googled it and found this for starters.. tentsmiths.com/product/oilskin-tarp/
Coalcracker has a good video on making one
Thanks fellas, the advice is much appreciated.
Hi again Dave. I was wondering if you know how the double sided aluminum bubble insulation used for houses might work. I just hate camping because I always get that deep cold and I can't sleep. How the heck did Indians keep from freezing to dead ice fishing up the Hudson naked except for heart at. Have you ever tried rubbing heard at on to keep warm? Did it work? I hate to bug you but thank you
I sleep on the floor, in my clothes and under the stars lololol
Hey Dave, thanks for the information! Who is the maker of the sleeve or where can I get one? ❤
Where do I get the bedroll straps from? Those are nice!
Camping air mattresses aren't as "modern" as they're made out to be. They were around during Kephart's time. I know Warren H. Miller wrote about them as well. Sleeping bags & rubber air pillows were also around in the late 1800's.
little late to the party, where did you get your bedroll straps at??
I really like mixing old and new that way. Our forefathers would have done the same thing. I try to carry the best gear that I can, things that just work and make sense and worry to much about the details.
In extreme cold weather like we get on the Canadian border, the "pillow' would be better suited if it were filled with dry grasses or moss and used as a foot box to ensure your feet stay warm because, as we all know, cold feet will ruin a good night's sleep. That, of course, is just my opinion,
M. Everett Munson I’ve Ben there before high up in the mountains
Great suggestion. I thought Dave was going to say that it was a footbox until he said pillow, which makes more sense in middle america.
People always look at a bedroll as old fashioned and outdated until they tear their sleeping bag or quilt in the outdoors.
PennsyltuckyPatriot ok, your 5lbs + really beats my 24 oz down.
Have you tried boiling you wool blankets? They will shrink so be ready to get 3 or 4 boiled blankets. It scrunched the yarns together and shortens the blanket but the Navy uses boiled wool to make their Pea coats and bellbottoms. Boiling makes the wool windproof AND pretty much rainproof. It won't stretch back . it's permanent. Wool blankets are supposed to be soft and fluffy in beds but camping is different . Wool won't hold in your breathe condensation. You will be warmer. Wool holds 85% of its heat even when wet !! Try Merino wool for wool underwear. It's the best. No itching. You can wash it in the machine. Dry it in the dryer. Other wool will shrink and get itchy. But if you want to boil your wool don't do it to Merino. You pay extra for the soft silky wool. Get the El Cheapo army blankets. Army green socks used to have boiled wool socks. You can't see light through it. That's what you want
