Mors Kochanski was just a little old man in the woods almost until the day he died, so I hope you make it to your own old man in the woods phase. Congratulations and good job.
Mors was one of the coolest instructors that were brought in for a course that I took just for the credits, as I already had the bush knowledge from my people
Dan, your channel was responsible for rekindling my love of camping and using my mind and tools to make outdoor life more comfortable. I was a scout in the 80s. My passion for camp life and bushcraft started then. It, thanks to you and channels like your, is still going string. Here's to many more years and many more videos. Stay in woods my friend.
Hey Dan, it is always a great pleasure to follow you in the woods. So much to learn in such a humorously manner, that could only be found on your channel. Thank you for taking along and all the best for the next 1000 videos, from Austria 🇦🇹🤠👍🏕🔥🍻
It's nice to know that a burly grown man likes his blankie and still does show and tell. Congratulations on many uploads. I'll have to count between my channels through the years to see how many I have.
Been watching learning applying and teaching the skills I learn from you for about 4.5 yrs now. It’s always an adventure with you. Thank you. I don’t comment much, but I love the work you do, I teach it to my son and my girls kids. An several tips of yours have saved the day. My gf even went on a “girls only camp out” her buddies were looking for a plug and outlet. My baby. She pulled out her knife I helped her forge, and a ferro rod. The kids gathered wood, and presto! There was a quick cook fire. The pot hoist I forged and para cord kept them fed and warm at night. Learned the application from you. So from my family to yours thank you so much.❤
Post script: Today was my step daughters 6th birthday. I worked from 0600 to 1500, my ex brought my son (same age) to my workplace, and we rolled out through a massive thunderstorm. He used the lensatic compass he got for Christmas to know where we were headed the whole time. When we got to the state park, he hand delivered his step sisters gift and then proceeded to lure all of us, with his brothers help out to the lake, and could tell me directions from the recently showing sun, and used my pocket knife to show all the kids a makeshift compass. It is and was a proud moment for all of us. My girl an me, we raise warriors and hunters. My son and the apple of my eye worked out a full trail map today. I could cry. If I’d never sold my tear ducts for a roll of bank line and a new draw knife😂
WOW ! Ten years is a real achievement !! You've made a huge contribution to RU-vid Bushcraft 👍 Thank you 🎂 🎉 I'm not sure who I copied it from, but I've wrapped the area below the hatchet head with inner tube. The features there are you've always got some emergency tinder and rubber strapping as well as the handle protection 👍
Man, a thousand videos, 10 years of work.... Great to see it came together nicely for you, you're in a different place than at your humble beginnings. I've been watching Dan for years, including his first videos 🫡
Congratulations Dan thanks for the all the lessons learned keep doing what your doing. Once/ if my health and work issues get figured out I want to come train with you. Best of luck moving forward. Enjoy yourself and oh yeah stay in the woods
I love your videos. I watch them with my 5 year old son and we use what we learn out in the woods. We made your bushcraft shank/awl last week. We also have your book, Bushcraft for Kids. Thanks for all you do!
@manfredconnor3194 I don't, but this younger generation sure does. Media and schools wanrmt them ti be girly-men, or even transgender. We need more men to stand up, speak out, and lead the way.
@@michaeldunwoody3629 No. They want to be "girly-men". They were born that way and its none of your business really. It reminds me of how homosexuals were treated back in the 80s. I am hetero, but I do not have a problem with these ppl. living the lifestyle that they want to live and don't understand why people like you do? Who gives a rat's ass what they do? They are line .0017% of the population. Let them have their rights and be done with it. Why is it any skin off your nose? It does in some cases remind me a bit of the scene in Monty-Python's film "The Life of Brian" where "Stan" wants to be called Loretta, but so what, who cares? Even if it is a fantasy or a delusion on their part, what does it matter? I mean, we have had belivers - Jews, Christians, Muslims, Budhists, (e.g. religious people) engaging in other kinds of more harmful and hurtful delusions/fantasies for Centuries and that never seemed to bother anyone, so why do people like you get all bent out of shape about a few people, who want to change their gender? I do not get it. What is the big deal. Please explain it to me.
CONGRATULATIONS!! Congrats Dan on your 1000 videos milestone and ten years of doing great content. You are one of the great survival/bushcraft channels out there.
Congratulations on your 1,000th video and ten years of sharing your knowledge with the rest of us Dan. Keep the great content coming and thanks for all you do and share.
Congratulations on reaching 10 years and 1000 videos. These numbers are jaw dropping. Yet it is important to keep in mind that it is not just quantity... the quality also has to be recognized! Best of the best!
Congratulations Dan!!! Thank you so much for all you do for all of us. Love your video's. Keep up the good work....AND Stay in the woods!!! LOL. Hang in there Bud.
Congratulations sir, you deserve all the good things... I've learned a lot from you over the past few years that I've been viewing. Congratulations and cheers!
Congratulations! You are mine and my sons favorite bushcrafter we have your book and watch (and do ) the things that you teach together. Keep it up. We will continue to learn from you. Thank you
I was instantly a fan of your T6 Zero tarp, and bought one of the first runs you sold. It stays in my day pack and backpacking kit every time I'm out in the woods, just in case I need a quick shelter.
Way to go Dan. Congratulations. I enjoyed the fact that all of your favorite gear holds a sentimental value. Over time it's almost like we form a partnership with some of our kit. Those pieces that are always there for us providing assistance when needed or giving comfort just knowing it's there ready to serve. I've become a big fan of yours. You've proven to be the real deal and that were in the same region adds a bit of familiarity. Go get some celebratory pierogi and Yuengling and revel in your accomplishment!!
Howdy Dan, I was first introduced to you through "Alone," and because of your command of your situation AND your attitude, I've become a viewer of your videos. If you think your parents gave you this great disposition, thank them often ! 😊 Thanks for your dedication, HUA !!!
Thank you so much!! We’ve probably watched most of those!! We are so grateful. 100% looking forward to 1000 more and many years to come. It’s particularly impressive, to me at least, that you are every bit as enthusiastic now as then, with acres of new ideas blended with your amazing depth of knowledge and expertise!!! Sending thanks and big love from the UK!!!
Thanks for sharing your treasures Dan, as well as your seemingly boundless knowledge. Your channel is amoung the best on RU-vid. Stay well & safe, and keep the videos cpming. Cheers, 😄😄😄
Congrats Dan , great accomplishment. I haven't been with you since the beginning but I definitely admire your passion & enthusiasm for the outdoors. Thanks for everything you have done for your followers. I wish you all the best in the future.
I have a LOOOT of stuff from I call camping/bushcraft. Tarps, packs,knives, hatchets, saws. One of my favorite knives is a Morakniv Scout. Me and my grandson watch your channel every week,and I try to get him out in the back yard as often as I can. Congrats o n the 10/1000 day! I hope you have many more!
I started following you after your videos with Townsends and have learned a TON from you! I’ll be passing this knowledge on to my kids and their friends, and will be one of the guys in the nursing home still watching you talk about bushcrafting between pudding cups
It is nice to have found and great channel that reinforces what I was taught as a young'in; keep up the awesome work. I bought a belt patch from your shop and love it, it goes with me in the swamp and woods, comes in really handy, TY for the hard work y'all do.
I haven't been here too long, 7-8 moths or so, but your videos have been great as I've been getting into hiking and the outdoors more! I absolutely love the oilcloth poncho and oilcloth/wool blanket from you too. What an achievement and milestone you've hit. Cheers!
Congratulations on 1k videos Dan. You were inspirational in getting me into bushcraft. I have been practicing all the skills I have learned from you this year and Wednesday I'll leave for my 6th trip into the woods this season. You are the man.
Congratulations, Dan, on your 1,000th! You keep me connected to the outdoors between trips and I can’t thank you enough! It’s like sitting down with a good friend every few days to talk about my favorite topic… please keep up the good work and thanks again!!
Seen a lot of these survival/ outdoor guys .... Dan is the most informative and entertaining of them all and plus he's got a really catchy intro , I hear that little intro diddy in my head when going thru my gear ! Weird huh ?
Congratulations, Dan! I think I have watched near all of them! 😁 To me you are the best bushcraft teacher out on RU-vid. Thank you so very much for teaching us that much, and it is always fun on top of that! I would buy a bunch of your merch, but living in Europe, with sending and taxes, it just becomes too expensive. I hope maybe one day you can open an online shop around here, maybe over a friend that lives here, so we can get our hands on it too. Much love to you! ❤🤗
Thank you and congratulations for your 1,000th video. Great review of key items. I too have a few items that date back to the good, old days. There might be better available today, but I doubt it. In addition, I got them when parents and grandparents passed, so the cost was zero, the value is immeasurable, and the memories are priceless.
You’re one of my favorite bushcraft teachers on You Tube! Just wish some of your videos were longer though. Congratulations on a 1000 videos!🤩 I hope you go down in You Tube history like Ray Mears and Dave Canterbury, to name people I personally follow. You seem to have an open mind and know how to teach stuff that is easy to follow, even for this retired Marine!😂 I finally got the Truckers Hitch down after watching your video. I have moved on to the Australian Truckies Hitch, of which I am trying to perfect now. I moved away from having to carry a hasty ridge line premade all the time. Another You Tuber I like is Canadian, “Kusk Bushcraft”, who teaches some simple knots to set up a tarp using the cordage you have with you. He also does some great bushcraft and survival videos for being a younger fellow. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and skills with us all over the years. It means a lot to me and has come in very handy on many occasions. I live in Arkansas, but would love to come to one of your courses just to learn the bow drill fire alone, because I know you would teach it well enough for me to get it down. God Bless and stay safe out there my man!😊
Loved this video. Congratulations on your landmark achievement!!! The part about your Grandfathers knife honestly gave me a lump in my throat. That was awesome. Mad respect!!!
Holly @#$%! It's been 10 years of fun , interesting, and dam good videos!! Thanks for all the memories and I still watch the old ones .. Keep kicking ass and making more videos!!! Congratulations!!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🪓🔪👍👍
Thank you dan. Your an inspiration to me and i appriciate whay youve done so far for the outdoor community and what you will do in the years to come. Great video btw
