Dave Canterbury's YouTube Video
Incredible YouTube Video by Dave Canterbury, owner of Pathfinder Outdoor Survival School I do not know Dave, nor had I heard of him until five different customers sent me his YouTube video. I looked at it and found that he has given the best presentation of our FREEDOM SHELTER sleeping bag. But he has gone beyond that product [...]
embellishing
EMBELLISHING Embellishing...make (a statement or story) more interesting or entertaining by adding extra details, especially ones that are not true. Unlike other companies who Over-Embellish their products, you are guilty of Under-Embellishment...prime examples are your "Sweater" and Nomex "Shirt jack".

It never fails to amaze me how efficient the insulation is. I made the mistake of layering when I first put it on. Keep in mind, [...]
poncho saves lives
1.The poncho that saved our livesHello, a few years ago, my hunting partner and I were on a remote butte in the middle of a wilderness. We were hunting Blacktail Deer. About a half mile away was a 1000-foot-high hill. Here, in the western states, anything under 3,000 feet is a hill. Anyway, it was late afternoon when we [...]

What I was demonstrating is the fact that taking the source of flame away from the Lamilite the burning stops. Also, I put my [...]
