ⓘ About Dave Canterbury
On “Dual Survival”, he demonstrated various survival skills, like how to cauterize an injury using fire and gunpowder. Dave intentionally sliced his arm open and then had Cody Lundlin, his co-host, use this technique to stop the bleeding. In the year 2012, the producers decided that Dave wouldn’t be returning to the show when it was discovered that he had lied about his military record. He’s also a New York Times Best Selling author of “Bushcraft 101”, released in 2014. First he worked on a reptile farm, and later as a commercial fisherman and diver in Florida. He is the owner and an instructor at the Pathfinder School in southeast Ohio. He teaches survival techniques, promoting what he calls the “5 Cs of Survivability”: a combustion device, a cutting tool, cover, cordage, and a container.
