Dave Canturbury's Pathfinder Concepts Video

One of my readers, Sadistic, commented on the last post about wanting to make a 3 day trek through the Canadian Rockies with very little equipment. I wanted to post this video in response to that comment. I am a firm believer that a person should be as prepared as possible whenever venturing into the wilderness. Dave Canterbury, of Discovery Channel's Dual Survival, is a great resource for anyone looking for survival information. He has some great video on YouTube. Here is one of my favorites. It is basically a "primer" of the concepts he teaches at his Pathfinder School. I hope you enjoy it.

  12. This dude totally looks like Dennis Hopper's long-lost younger brother. He oozes manliness so much you could start a fire with it.
    I like survival and wilderness tips as much as the next guy, but this dude...bah.
    He is anti-geek!

  14. Friendship is like peeing on yourself: everyone can see it, but only you get the warm feeling that it brings.

  15. No joke, I started a fire the other day with moderately wet wood with the help of their ideology that surface area is important when starting a fire (i.e. a lot of sticks, twigs, ect. when starting a fire from scratch).

    Ofc, I had a lighter at my disposal, but nonetheless, I don't think I would have gotten it started.

  16. My favorite is still Les Stroud of Survivor Man. I can't wait until he puts out a Les Stroud branded multi-tool. I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
