Basic Camp Overnighter Part 1 

Rewatching all of these old videos, really loving them even after all this time.

Been rewatching your vids for the past few hours now Dave, I could listen to you talk all day haha

Been watching for years. Grew up under Dan beard and such scouts. Always enjoy learning new stuff. Wish nothing but the best and thank you. Keep up the good work!!!

Hi Dave, a sincere thank you for all of the free, tremdous knowledge you have provided for us. Many of us appreciate it more than you know. The least I can do to express my gratitude is shop from The Pathfinder Store whenever I can. Just a fun question...what is the song at the end of this video that is also used as an intro to many of your newer videos? Is it by Badhorse as well? I love it and it fits your style perfectly. Thanks, again, for everything, sir! -Dave

Dave, ive been watching alot of your videos for a few years now. I want now to say thank you for all of your efforts. You've gone above and beyond to pass great knowledge along. Your a good man.

This video is a thing of beauty. Love the simplicity of this camp and your presentation.

as some one who uses tarps almost exclusively its great to see how others set theirs up. Great Vid keep it up

I agree these are the best to watch. So much information to absorb.

the trucker hitch knot is very useful and easy to prepare. a good knot, i learned from your video. thanks!

You made that pile of sticks stand up and splay out like a Daddy Long Legs. From where I sit, it looked like the spark caught on some punk wood instead of cloth. Charred punk wood takes a little more blowing than char cloth. I love these longer videos. Thanks!!!

im glad you did a simple old dirt time video,its what is all about :) nature being awesome since year 0!

Glad to see you here Dave.

Grizzly Adams for real ,takes me back almost 30 yrs (Adams Cub) Admire you you for stickin to your routes Dave ,Dont ever forget them Your a inspiration

A very good protection against a cold northern wind. Well done Dave. Blessings!

I was hoping for a series like this, thank you :)

Beautiful set up. Only thing I do different is carry a piece of plastic twice the width of my mat to put down on the ground...weighs almost nothing and really helps to keep your stuff dry. Looking forwartd to part 2!

Loved watching Dave and Cody. Great to see Dave again. Loved the video.

Outstanding, this is better than Dual Survival, because there are no bare feet or commercials.

Amazing what a sexond listening foes for clearing things up. Its all there. Great work, Dave.

Guys (and girls)... Really? The man is sharing knowledge from his life's work, sparing many of us from ignorant mistakes, and you are concerned about how long his hair is? Dave, I wouldn't care if you had the word "Sunshine" shaved down the side of your dome. The things you have taught me (for free!) are priceless. I appreciate what you do. This video is a great one to share with my boys (9 and 15). Keep on doing what your doing.

Never gets boring to see you out there Dave!

Seeing a lot more bush crafters sparking into the char cloth tin. Smart, fast, and effective. Your sleeping mat choice is interesting, will have to try it out. Thanks David.

Cool video. I like your, setup especially pack hanging trick. Rope is such a great tool, so underestimated. I have learned the hard way about bringing a rubber mat with me. In the past I used to use a nice insulated sleeping back to substitute from some of the items this guy is talking about, but trust me when you are sleeping on a rocky terrain a rubber mat is a must, even if you have a tent. You spend one night sleeping on tough ground and you'll appreciate that rubber mat this guy recommends.

Great Inspiration videos from Dave.

Thanks Dave, your the best Pal.

Dave I look to become as knowledgable as you as I grow in my adventure of life.

Thanks, Dave. Been wondering about it plenty. Will look into that.

It's always great to see you out in the field. Thank you for sharing.

;I thought I knew everything until I started watching your videos. LOL Thanks for the education. I feel like I owe you Dave.

Great one Dave, thanks.

I love this overnighter seriers, really simple and back to the basics stuff.

you my good sir know your stuff and i have a massive amount of respect for you keep it up

These are the vids I love... camping in the woodlands old style! Very exciting and motivating. Thanks Dave!

Hey Dave, you know. you could also put your extra clothing in your browse bag if you would need that second blanket on top of you if it gets to cold at night to have as a pillow in a longer term situation.

Great trick with the stick to pull up tarp!

16yr Infantry Sgt year, very impressive, no BS, common sense advice Mr. Canterbury.

Thanks Dave👍

I would dig a hip ditch, a 3" deep trench in the ground after the ground barrier has been set up. (6-8" total of dug dirt depending on the time of year). That way, as a side sleeper, I can sleep better, rest fully, and not have to worry about a tweaked back when I wake up.

Hey! I saw that shadow when you were blowing on the birds-nest. You lifted it out of camera view so your son could light it with his bic, Didn't you? Ha! Just kidding. I've learned a lot from you Dave. I'm saving up to take one of your classes. Thank you so much for sharing.

17:35 the spider crawls up his leg. LOL awesome videos! :D love them!

A sitting/sleeping pad I ran across accidentally is a car sun visor. I had one in my truck, the kind that is like a heavy duty bubble wrap. It was white on one side, reflective on the other. Sitting pad, sleeping pad, moisture barrier and you could potentially stake it behind a fire for a reflector.

Fantastic video Brother! The tarp is a beauty, great set up

Very cool, great flint and knife technique! ATB Sepp

yet another great video. You've really changed they way I look at setting up emergency load-outs. Laughed at myself when I pulled them out after getting into your playlists, but they are shaping right up! Thanks for all the lessons!

Love the camping videos.

Now its time to...get the tick of my hand...and start a fire. Haha you are awesome, Dave, you said it without missing a beat.

thanks for the videos dave.

It's a nice educational video man, you are a walking encyclopedia of survival!

Another awesome video. Thanks for the tips brother.

Nice to see the scout out! Been waiting for it to turn up in a video.

Thanks for the great information! I really appreciate your videos and the quality items from your shop. Take care.

thank you for making videos dave.

Dave I love your videos so educational!

Great Video Mr Catabury. Hurry and post the next one.

great show

Thanks for all the great videos Dave, looking forward to part 2.

Hey dave, it would be great if you did a winter version of this video. I have watched this video a ton of times because I like the specific gear used. And when I cannot get into the woods this has been a great substitute. But a winter version would be fantastic! Anyway, thank you for all you do brother! God bless!

Dave, I love your lifestyle brother!!!! I wish that I was more able to get out and camp. Keep the videos coming, I am living vicariously through you...LOL

These videos are great. When you show setting up camp is really cool.( that's my favorite part of overnights)

Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge! I am inspired to also give my gifts for free to the world.

Greeat video, looking forward to part 2!

i am not trying to speak for dave, but i would say that it is because it is not as multi purpose as a tarp, a tent is only that, but a tarp can be set up in many configurations to sleep, and many other uses

Just doesn't get much better than this Dave! I really love these types of videos.

excellent video, Mr. Canterbury. I would love to see more vids in the vein of your 'bulletproof bushcraft on a budget' series. I've been building up my kit and those have been incredibly helpful.

Great video.

Great Viseo Mr Catabury. Hurry and post the next one.

Dave I'm a big fan of yours and would love it if you made a video about knots similar to the one you made about notches. Thanks.

Every time I watch one of Dave's shelter videos I kinda laugh, because it reminds me of Dual Survivals very first episode ''shipwrecked'' when he called Cody's shelter a "bush hippy party house" haha

Great video. Thanks

@alexander tisell depends on the weather, for me when in nice weather like this, I set up my camp first then just before night I get my fire started. In bad weather I find a good spot for a fire ,get it prepared, and build my shelter around it so I can capitalize on the fire when settling in for the day/night. I'm not an expert but this works for me.

Nice one Dave! ..Tony.

With as sharp as a deer's sense of smell and hearing is, they won't miss your presence in their woods whether you camp on the game trail or not.

Love it, wish I could go bushcrafting with you haha, maybe ill be able to go to a class one day.

The instant you said "tick" I started itching all over. Hate those things. They weren't a big deal at all when we were kids (I'm 42) and I used to get covered in them out playing in the fields. Nowadays though, they're carrying all kinds of nasty diseases and are scary as heck. :(

This kind of video are the best, make we want to go out to the woods...(: Regards

Good stuff David!....woods

fantastic video mate

Great stuff!

Great vid Dave! Looking forward to this series!

I particularly enjoyed this episode. Lots of people don't know that a campfire can travel through roots and start a forest fire. On a humorous note; in the absence of a haircut, I'm wondering if you didn't get contaminated with Cody Lundin's Hippie genes. Not that there's anything wrong with that.... ;) Thank You Dave for posting all these videos, I sure have learned a lot from them. We all love Layla bug, please incorporate her whenever possible into your videos, she's a treasure.

Thanks for the upload Dave!

Good Job Sir.

Great Video!

Great video Dave. I've been meaning to get out and do an overnighter..but stuff keeps getting in the way. Hopefully I'll make it out soon. Thanks for the video

I remember seeing the one with a couple of loops using prussic knots and toggles (same system I use) but I don't remember see the set up you used in this video. Guess I need to go back and refresh the basics :)

Been looking foward to you posting a video like this for some time. Good work Dave, love the videos! Keep up the good work and Gob bless.

I would love suggestions on firearm(s) placement when your asleep in the sticks. I'm specifically concerned about bears and I would be with my wife and autistic son. Thank you Dave and Iris for your selfless sharing of tribe knowledge... God Bless

This man reminds me of a Viking!

I was watching some older videos and I have to say I like the mountain man (longer hair and fuller beard) than the military buzz cut, this suites you much better. Keep up the great work.

awesome video

As long as you check for and pull ticks nightly you should not have a problem with disease transmission, most tick diseases, Lyme, STARI, RMSF, HME, take anywhere from 24-48 hours imbedded for transmission

Interesting video, brother.

Love the videos

An older video which i havent seen before..enjoyable but moreover - practical insights sir.. 'tips hat'. 👍

Very nice with an old school camping video Dave:) Really nice tarp indeed. Does the Pathfinder store ship to Russia? I'm Danish and live in Russia:) Regards, Lars

Great video Brother. Would love to see that trick with the ridge line in a little more detail. I can't quite make out how you attached the tarp at the end opposite from the bowline knot.

Great video, as always! Greetings from Italy!

This mans fire skill is outstanding. I have a hard tine lighting drier lint with a blow torch. Lol

Dave, this one was hard to watch! You walking in the beautiful green woods with your Springfield Armory M6 scout cradled in your arms. I love that gun and want one bad, but the ones I've seen, handled, and shot, were either not for sale, or obscenely priced. My Dad had an old double barrel 410 with a .22 on top between the shotgun barrels, unfortunately it was stolen.

Dave you a the Best 👈 Big Fan from Austria
