If you require the shelter for the course just work the price into the course and have one supplied for participants. It would save on shipping and packaging and you would single handily save the world.

Man I’ve been watching this dude for a good bit but I just learned today he was a contestant on Alone! I started with the most recent season and have been working my way backwards and just got to season 3 😂

"I'm lost! I've gone to find myself. If I should come back before I return, please ask me to wait!" Jarbidge, USA. The intro lead to this random thought! Thanx Dan! Now I'll go watch the video!

On the pencil vs pen discussion: If you also pack a small pencil sharpener it can also double to provide tinder if you can't find any. All you need is a stick to fit in the sharpening hole and you get easy thin curls.

Love these load out vids.

I've been an on again/off again hobbyist woodworker since I was young, helping my dad in the shop. There's not really anything new here that I haven't already figured out myself or been taught, except having a tourniquet handy, that's not something I had ever even considered, but seeing all these safety tips put together in one concise video is definitely a good refresher and I'd go so far as to say this should be a must watch for anyone getting into woodworking or for any parent to show their kids that want to help them in the shop. Even after working with table saws, miter saws, radial arm saws, etc. For 50+ years, I still get flutters in my stomach when I fire one up, a little bit of fear can mean the difference between having all your fingers at the end of the day or not.

Congratulations on 500k Dan 🎉🥳🤙🏻

Adjust ya hoodie strings. lol, awesome list! Definitely help update mine. Thanks again for another awesome video.

Outstanding video brother

Congradulations on 500k subs.. I have been here since you had about 40k

Thanks Dan😊

Congrats on half a million!

Nice video.. 👍👍

Love the gears.

Cool video

Good information Dan

Great video 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I reallllllly want to come and take your class one day. Also congrats on 500K! Amazing work!

I like that you are making these videos for upcoming classes

Good video.

Power Generator. Amazing land there! Really need to visit Scotland

Kick ass content!

We used pencils to check in on our helicopter missions. Ink bleeds in water was the reasoning behind it. So, I would suggest using pencil for your journal entries.

I absolutely love your channel Dan Wowak!! You’re an awesome instructor. I wish I lived closer!! I’ll be trying to make an effort to purchase your virtual clinic!!

Looll i love that intro

Ace load out dude

Interesting note about Bic lighters. When they run out of fuel, they still have a lot of flint left in them. About 3/16 of flint still in them.

Your courses sound like a blast! I would love to come, but it is unfortunately not possible at this time. Thanks for the info, anyway.

I think Bushcraft based survival training is interesting and at times useful. Having recently been in a real world survival situation where my dog almost died I would say that when the rubber meets the road you'd better hope you aren't depending on a ferro rod and a big knife.

Use braided fishing line in a sewing kit. You can use the fishing line to sew with, if you carry needles and a spool of braided line with hooks. You would have a combination kit.

👍👍👍 Awesome 👍

Love your intro made me laugh

I like the military compass

IMHO I was a armed guard 25 years ago up here in Portland Oregon and I had three right in the rain items, a pen, a note book and a incident note book and in all the different weather we have I would stay away from the pencil. In the rain and when dry the pencil appears to smudge and fade with the skin oils in your fingers.

If you use a ZIPPO lighter, you can use the flint from a bic. Take the flint out of the empty bic, and cut it in half. You can also crush the flints from several empty bics and use it to help make a fire.✌🏻

Dan, I've been hearing off and on that Gorilla Tape doesn't hold up in cold weather, especially in the snow. Now I've never experienced this myself but others are saying they have. Unfortunately none of them have made any suggestions as to an alternate brand. Is this news to you ? What they are claiming is that the adhesive fails in cold weather.

When is that hat you are wearing going to be on the website?

When in trouble ...or in doubt. Run in circles ...scream and shout. Burma-Shave

Bank line. Snap blade knife. Hard candy. Whistle. All are cheap and lightweight. Tip: wrap the duct tape around the bic.

How is the SUUNTO MCB superior to the Silva Guide 2.0?

Do you guys in the USA have Clipper lighters? I find they are way better than Bic lighters.

But the T6Zero, is a Tarp, you even call it a Tarp, in your video about how to set it up. So why couldn't I bring my own tarp about the same size, and a lot cheaper then what your selling yours for.

Can you tell me what you do at the beginning of the video?

A silly FYI for all. Dan spoke of headlamp... ..then of extra batteries; ~ I'm seeing many head lamps use AAA batteries. In that.. ~ Krazy Glue put out a four pack of mini tubes of their super glue. Which comes in a decent hard plastic open/snap closed, holder/case. Odd number for headlamps but it safely stores four AAA batteries in hard case with rounded edges. js umm, USMC version Kabar is a large 7" blade worthy of abuse/light on the hip/ez re-sharp. (sooks they're hunert+ bucks now) Save the 4" knives' edge for the tasks said.

What make and model fixed blade knife was that in the video?

Now I just wonder if there are any smoke breaks during the class. Sounds a little severe.

Only thing about those big ferro rods, they’re too heavy if you’ve got a full pack and you’re actually traveling by foot.

Newbie here. Looking for real users advice on multitools. Mine should be able to cut barbed wire more than once. Have a good saw. The knife should be able to feather stick and scrape firesteels. A good pair of scissors would also be useful. Can and bottle opener. Don't necessarily need screwdrivers. Focused on bushcraft, hiking. I could use some good real world users advice from anyone out there, no commercial bs. Thanks in advance! Greets, TW.

Dan, I heard Mahoney got hit by a bad wind storm today, memorial day, are you an your family ok, I hope you an family are fine.

When in wonder. When in doubt. Run in circles. Scream and shout.

I can’t find the stainless steel water bottle on your website? Any help?

What state is the class in?????

The biggest mistake all you guys make is you never have a full kit layout view at the end of the video! The visual is ten times more powerful than the talking!

⚙ gear

Im from reading about how far from me are you guys

If it fits in the car, it ships! But then I only do car camping.

YOU NEED..YOU NEED...YOU NEED...BLA BLA BLA

Why is gorilla tape the best ?

🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

I guess I won't be taking a coarse from Dan. Oh Dave...

😂😂 Remember 3 years ago?? People still hating on T6Zero shelter

First Aid?

Dont agree with using your shelter a tarp would work fine an i think you should teach tarp shelter, a trap is lightweight an has many many uses, this is all stuff ive learn from your group of instructors, if some ends up in a survival situation a tarp is more likely to be had or found

LMFAO!!!!!!!! So basically, if I don't buy your stuff, I can't attend your course?!?!?!?! Gotta have "YOUR" tarp?!?! Gotta have the compass "YOU" want me to have?!?! Why half inch by six to eight inch rod? The biggest difference between rods is hardness and magnesium content. Gotta have Gorilla brand!!!!! LOL!!! "You gotta have, don't come without it". Okay, if I don't make it, start without me...... "No comfort situation". :o

Down and dirty video... appreciate it.

Have fun Guys EatS the crikets and crawlereres skip the Monarks their indangered.There no g`hopperess in the woods sew bring them dehydrated.Good food but they`ll make you jumpee.Ha Ha

I’ll stick to Dave at Pathfinder. He doesn’t require you to buy specific crap and his gear.

The biggest mistake that every survival channel that’s on RU-vid makes is not teaching people how to catch food. You can tell us all about making a fire, getting water, making a shelter and all that other BS, but if you don’t teach us how to catch food, you think we’re gonna survive? Get a clue.

Too much talking

The best shelter? Its a TARP, not even a tube tent. And its WAY over priced. And small. Yeah, your too item specific. And that turned me off right away. I used to teach Wilderness Survival back in the early 80's. How to survive 72 hours. And I Never was item specific. Sure I told them a tarp, at least 6x8, with stakes and paracord. But that Tarp you sell, isn't even 6x8. So wow, for the price your charging. You most probably will delete this comment. As for a compass, I have a vision problem. So the Lensatic compass works the best for me. So far the Tarp and compass requirements, yeah, not for me.
