He had violated the advertising and self-promotion rule numerous times, but had several chances, which others have not received, as I am sure they will attest to. I want to put this Dave Canterbury (aka "The Pathfinder") issue to bed. I haven't checked the sites mentioned, but here is the link to the site I got this from: Just kidding.It's always best to stay honest and keep it real. The moral of the story is, make sure to update your Bushcraft USA bio before becoming a famous TV survival show star! Dave did serve his country, but decided to embellish things which got him into trouble. Obviously, the Discovery Channel and Cody figured this out last year and had to make a hard decision, or else risk losing the integrity of the show. There is also no mention of service in Central America, only in Korea. There is no mention of Ranger, Survival, Scout, or Airborne Training. From what I can tell, he was an MP in the Army for 6 years who was trained as a military police sniper and an SRT member, which is like an Army version of SWAT. I went to and viewed Dave's military service records. Canterbury also falsely claimed to have 20 years of survival skills experience which was proven untrue by the surfacing of Canterbury's own 2008 bio in which he was a factory worker at an auto plant in Ohio the year before he signed to be on Dual Survival. Ĭanterbury's false military claims can be seen on the website under their "phonies" section, letter "C". In truth, in September of 2011, Canterbury was fired by Discovery for misrepresenting his military and civilian background and experience. "In April 2012, Canterbury falsely announced that he would no longer be part of the series due to family and business reasons.
