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.

bone chilling vortex
BONE CHILLING VORTEXJerry, Like, most of the nation for the last couple of days, Michigan has had a polar vortex. When it gets single digit and below zero, I break out your parka. 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, [...]

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.
