Stay in the Woods,

I took this class last year…completely awesome! Dan and his team were excellent, professional and super knowledgeable! I highly recommend this class if ur a beginner OR are looking to become more advanced in ur bushcraft journey! I’m hoping to take the advanced class next!! Great job as usual Dan!
Good tip for all: a few silica stones can be used in place of flint like quartz, quartzite, agate, and chert. These stones are more common in the western states. You can also use these hard stones on your ferro rods as a scraper too, just need the sharp edge.
Many areas of the west where gold mining was thing are simply over run with white quart rocks. They work fine with both steel and fero rods. They don't knap but they work and are easy.
Thanks, I know what quartz looks like 👍
Oh they knap, it’s just that they’re the most (or almost) hellish stone to work with.
I’ve been finding nice clean clear quartz crystals but only small ones. I really want a nice chunk of that I feel like it would be decent material
Dan , Thank You for sharing your Time, Wisdom, Experience, Bushcraftering ,Knowledge. I Greatly Appreciate All You Do Sir.
Fencing pliers are another piece of kit I take with me everywhere. It has so many uses, outside of the obvious.
Really enjoyed watching don't forget the beers it's better than water around the camp fire
I'm not coming but I really appreciate how you are not excessively restrictive when it comes to supplemental and in-case equipment for people who have ever attempted this.
My first question always is: what are the averages and temperature extremes I should expect?
Tested your wool blankets in this video.
last weekend 39ish degrees temp, no fire, cot camping. Woke up 3 times to readjust…there bulletproof 👊
So I shot mine with a 38 and it was not bulletproof...defective product
@@p4h10oso put that 38 away and get a real caliber
I love my blankies!
Here to learn and have fun, its not boot camp!
BEST QUOTE FROM AN INSTRUCTOR EVER!
I wish I was closer to your school Dan! Id be there taking classes as often as I could!
Maybe I can plan a summer trip/class in the future.
Thanks for awesome vids!
As always love your videos
Incredibly helpful video!
Great kit, agree 💯! Sorry if my comments didn't come out right. No ill intentions! Your one of my faves!
Dan, I love the content. Thanks for sharing the knowledge.
Very informative video, Thanks Dan.
Awesome stuff!! I have all of this gear already to get packed up for class. I cannot wait to get back to the Appalachian Bushman school. Such great instructors and people who I think so highly of. Congratulations on 500k subscribers Dan,so well deserved and earned bro so happy for you! Another awesome video as always brother 👍 💪
Awesome information to have for starting out
Awesome video. Ty
Will be there in spirit!
While sipping a spirit
Cool video
Love your channel brother!! Your presentation is outstanding. You’re an awesome instructor.
Thanks for your excellent instruction 💯👍
Good stuff. Great channel.
Good stuff!
This woulda been 😂 a great video last year when alot of us came loaded up for Everest with two Woolys strapped to our packs. Great video man, puts a lot of the questions regarding the car and packing in perspective.
Congrats on 500,000!!!!
Awesome video... GOOD JOB 👍 !!! Sounds like fun as well as educational in the bushcraft field !!! ...Alan in 🇨🇱
Another great video jam packed with information. I’m not planning to come to one of your classes, yet, but I saved this video so I can watch it again and again. Keep up the great work and thanks for sharing.
Informative and beneficial video!
Wow such an awesome video. been watching for while, but this is some great tips and info. Gonna keep a bag with this gear in my truck..
You'll be glad you did! I don't know how many times I've been out for a drive and have had it turn into a spontaneous mini-bushcraft adventure. Plus it's good to have in case of a vehicle breakdown in bad weather.
Handy kit list cheers dude! Just when I thought I had everything you've added some kit to my shopping list 😂👍
Dan-
Really liked this Basic Bushcraft Gear Loadout listing for your bushcraft course.
Thank you for sharing...
got me thinking of basic bushcraft kit qualities and the "less is more" when building skills & techniques so gear items can have multiple uses.
You're an excellent teacher... would bet your courses are highly educational and enjoyable.
(Hope to attend in the future.)
Happy Trails!
🇺🇸 🏕 🌲
Awesome.
Thanks!🙏👍❤️🙂
Show. Parabéns pelo vídeo e boas vibrações
Congratulations you have now hit 500,000 subscribers🎉🎉🎉
I have always all my survival stuff with me… you never know… 🔥🔥🔥✌️😜✌️🍀🍀🍀🌎🔥🔥🔥
You would not believe how much stuff rides in the back of my truck cab 24/7/365. Oh wait, maybe you would... ;D
Rah ! Rah ! Sys Boom Coalcracker !
He needs to make some bushcraft pompons!
Tus videos son geniales, lástima que estoy algo lejos para ir a tomar clases contigo en tus cursos. Saludos desde Durango. Dgo. México
Hands up!
Need more money to buy all I need and classes! Lok!
I did your Firestarter , cotton Circles with the charcoal flood, And wax, Damn thing works fantastic. Nice keep up the great work. Let's say you don't have a compass and you get lost, how do you find your way back? Video.
Please ignore my earlier comment(s) . You answered them. Thank you!
I am not prepared at all to take your beginner class. I have the washcloth the Paracord and one wool blanket. My Axe is too short my pack is too big. This will cost me a fortune just to take your beginner class including the cost of the class itself I guess I'm going to have to keep buying gear slowly. Thanks for the video man
That would be an excellent idea for a video: What gear to buy first if you're on a tight budget and can only get one or two items at a time. Also perhaps some advice on avoiding gear that is so cheap that you end up having to replace the item, thus spending more money that if you'd bought the slightly more expensive item to begin with. (I have wasted so much money over the years buying, re-buying, and re-re-buying stuff!)
Wow...
If I didn't know any better, it looks like all that gear came out of a "woodcraft" book by Kephart or Nessmuk.
Now will you make a bucket list???
Great and informative video Dan. What is that jacket you're wearing? That thing looks super warm.
if you are looking for a pot to cook on the campfire with, NO nonstick. Teflon melts at lower temperatures than a campfire produces...
Great information!
I gotta lose a bunch of my gear outta my pack 😂
would love to take a course .........unfortunatly....I'm a little too far.......over the pond.....France!
Thank you for the list.
I just want to know where you got that shirt. Looks super warm
If you get a Rite in the Rain book you're going to need the pen that goes with it. The paper is coated and regular pens don't work. Pencils and Sharpie kind of work but aren't ideal.
hi Dude 🌷
I have been a fan, watching you and your work forever. I’m really looking forward to seeing more like this. Lmk if you need any free help!? I love bushcrafting, nature, art , back & bikepacking and I can cook and clean!
Take care
🥳 Cheryl
I'm comparing my wife's bag to this one. I hand picked both of our bags based on what I know, what she knows and what I'm teaching her.
Wish I could get to PA and take a class in person, but I was still super-excited to be a part of the first of the online courses. I'm signed up for the other two and can't wait! Question: Does anyone know of any in-person bushcraft courses, similar to what Dan offers, in the IA/MN/WI tri-state region? (Northwest IL would be a possibility also.) Been trying to find something within 2-3 hours of home. :)
A metal paint kettle would do
There are other rocks other than flint that produce sparks. Hard, dense stone works fine. As long as you can get a sharp edge, you'll get sparks. I've had success with a variety of different types of rock.
I'd take this course if I lived closer I'm sure I'd learn something.
Dumplings? 🥰🥰🥰
Good info, however I didn't hear about first aid kits.
Course would be good but long walk from the UK
I understand you ask for the 550 paracord and so then ask for #18 bank line. For me though I would take #36 unbraided bank line. Cover more uses with a slightly heavier line.
550 cord has 7 interior stands plus the sheath. #18 twisted bank line breaks down with three strands. Broken down you have three different types of cordage. If you untwist the three straps of #36 you have one type of cordage. Please explain your rationale.
Always bring my multitool ( 5gal ) when camping!!! Thanks for sharing, stay safe!!!
What about hemp..??the kind you get in and crafting store..
what do you prefer between the 8x8 , 9x9 or 10x10 tarp cheers
Dan, what is that coat/flannel you are sporting in this video?
I’m a little curious. When you say bank line, I’m not sure if you mean tarred marline or net twine. I have both, but I’m not sure bankline is in the vernacular in the PNW.
Thank you! Very informative. I don't want to sound like a weenie. Debris blankets...I get it, hypothermia in an emergency situation can be lethal.
That said....ticks?
What is a good blanket option if your allergic to wool?
Dan, How many cameras do you wreck with that closing?😬
How do you wear your haversack (full) with a backpack? I find wearing both cumbersome.
Tents are so much better than a tarp and they are small/light these days. I don't get it.
Keep the vids comming ... ty
I have been binge watching your channel. Do you have any videos with dogs? I have 2 Great Danes I always take with me. Can you help us?
I haven't seen Dan with any dogs, but Joe Robinet takes his with him on trips all the time. Might want to check out his channel
If I had shown up to class with my silky nata instead of that camp axe, what would you have said?
So in your case the equipment list would be a first alert button and then electric blanket he was in a
I'm not sure where to get those leather sewing needles. I couldn't tell the difference between Flint and Limestone
Is that a wool shirt/jacket???
Where do I buy one??
Are your courses available on video for those who live out of USA?
I can see why you don't do these types of comercials, you give up some of your secrets. I had never heard of an s-needle until now.
Why not include a basic flint napping class?
I want more of the GOTH chick.
"Don't bring your favorite wash cloth you had as a kid." 🤣
Or that $10 one that matches your wife's guest towel set...lol.
What about restrooms? Doesba person need to bring those items?
Their is always permanent rain clouds over the school let's be honest.
To bad you couldn't come to arkansas..there's lots of parks around here 😂
I was stationed in Arkansas for 5 years and loved it there. We used to spear fish alligator gar at night on the Red River and also loved the camping there. If you haven't seen "Kelly Hays Hikes" channel, check her out
@@JO-rk5gu I went camping near pickthorn lake..
Yeah! Come to Missouri on your way through to Arkansas! We have great parks, too! Even share some with our Arkansas friends!
@@timburks1598 I see that I am not the only one that likes this guy
The brand name of your first choice of matches did not make it to the transcript.
So carving axe? Bearded or not? Clarity ?
A carving axe is not specifically needed. Just an axe sharp enough to do a bit of carving. The lessons concentrate on using you axe as a primary cutting tool for most tasks in camp. Your belt knife should be left for finer tasks and as a secondary. The axe is more robust and can take more abuse.
Cheerleader omg lmao 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Can you not reshape (knapp) your stone?
Depends on the stone, personally in my area and many parts of the country don't have an abundance of knapable stone, strikers work with lumpy quartzite and other hard stones.
Where's the list?
Do you ever actually camp out, as I can't remember ever seeing you in a genuine overnight or multi-day camping scenario? Lots of short instructional videos, classroom style stuff, but I get the impression that you go home to a comfortable bed and a home cooked meal at night.
So basically a do as I say and buy from me type of soft sales approach for much of the videos.
This is far from an SRO class. His approach seems more of a glamping approach to bushcraft. Traditional kit only when it’s convenient. Either do it 100% traditional or don’t. His stuff is way overpriced for what u get.
He was in Alone and made it deep into the show, he knows what he is talking about. He always gives you cheap alternatives, never says you must buy this from me.
@@barnaclebill1615 I guess 'traditional' is a little vague. But do you not approve of leaving the knife behind and lteaching to cut with just an axe ( the flint also ?)
Yea so I'd still bring a knife and spare socks.
Your beginner class seems a lot less….boot camp like…then other instructors
What if you're ALLERGIC to wool. I mean you can't even touch it without breaking out into major hives.
I have a couple of US surplus fleece blankets that are very large, really nice. Around $30 so WAY cheaper than wool.
👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🪓🔪
No knife? Didn't see a knife. All the dang bushcraft knife videos out there, millions of knives and... no knife. Axe, yes. But no knife.
You clearly didn't watch the whole video...
Survive...? Even hammock camping with 11 ft hammock? Not being a smart ass.. I promise.. just curious... of your teaching style? The why of it is what I'm trying to say?!. I reread and it sounds like I'm bashing you, but I promise I'm not. Let's say I have a Pathfinder hammock.. 10ft. With bug net. Still need oil cloth tarp? On top of d&d 3x3?
I just want to show off my $2000 knife
Not shame on me sir...I'm 75 and sickly. I'm trying to learn about saving my life and learning what equipment I need for my survival kit. I have upgraded several times as I learn what is crap and what will really help me in a survival situation. Shame on you instructors for leaving us older people out of your instructions. In an emergency situation, we are left to our own devices if in an emergency. At my age I have a lot of experience in life that is useful. I've never camped. At my age, I have a lot of experience in life that I call common sense. CDC recommends elderly and disabled people use a wheeled case rather than a backpack that most of us older ones cannot carry. At this point, I have more than you do. I know most people won't listen to the authorities who want each man, woman, and child to have thier own kit. I will be able to share some things. Not that I feel obligated to support some idiot that I've tried to convince to take care of thier own. That has been the case more than I care to say... Everyone thinks they know more than you. I didn't get to this age without learning everything first. So I love your common sense channel, but, it's not shame on me.I was raised in the woods, and still need to learn a lot, not shame though. That's for the young ones that think they have nothing to learn from you. I need to know things for my age group. I'm not forty any more. Keep teaching us the common sense stuff you've been showing us. I've always liked to be prepared for anything. A peek in my purse would show you that my late husband depended on me to care for both our needs on trips and meetings. I was born in Binghamton, NY, not far from PA. We ate wild plants and animals and Dad depended on me, the youngest to learn and I did. I still can and cook from scratch, unlike my neighbors in the senior apts where I now survive, I mean live...lol. I'm watching you....I'm learning.🙃😄.. oh yeah, Dad needed me to learn because Mom left him with 6 kids to raise...I'm the youngest..only one of them is still alive.
Axe?? My knife has more of a chance to be on my hip than my axe.
So ? ....... the man is teaching a class about bushcrafting ...ie enjoying your time out in the bush with simple tools and techniques. No one asked what you like to carry or your EDC . That would be likengoing to a carpentry class and saying Hammer? ....my car keys are more likely to be in my pocket than a hammer .
"buy this 2k worth of gear, blankets and oilcloth tarps and so on"
So, to take this expensive class you also need a ton of gear that can only really be bought at your website? At least the expensive stuff can only be bought there (our blankets). Nah I'm good.
Had to dig pretty deep to find something to bitch about. Average boys axe 50 bucks at at a hardware store, handful of needles less than 10 bucks at Walmart. For learning to set up tarp shelters a 10x10 painters drop cloth from lowes ...splurge out and buy a gallon of linseed oil if you want it to be a traditional oil cloth. Nah man, we are good with out you. Thanks for stopping buy and announcing you non participation ....we will be sure to never think of you again.
