I was an avid viwer of Mike MCQ Bushcraft. Though he's not posting very much these days. He must be busy with work.
Also Paul Kirtley's blog. I like his very pragmatic approach to answering the questions he is sent. Huge dollops of common sence with this guy.

I've heard even non BC people in awe at Primitiv Tech's channel.

Survival Lilly used to be good but these days is more interested in pimping kit her sponsors give her.
Survival Russia also used to be good but has lost his mojo a bit recently.
MCQ Bushcraft as Gonzo said ^ has been quiet but is coming back now with a series of vids as he does up his jeep for a long trip away later this year.

i came across this Youtube channel the other day. It's a diary of a couple that are sailing around Australia. Really interesting stuff, good underwater camera work, a lot of self reliance content and the video below shows them trying to do bushcraft beer brewing which is worth a watch. They do nude swimming stuff just to warn anyone watching in work when they shouldn't ;)

TA Outdoors is very good and he often does stuff with his dad and you can see they have a great relationship.
His series on building a pallet wood cabin is brilliant.

If you want something completely different Demolition Ranch is one of my personal favourites, he is a youngish American gun enthusiast who has a lighthearted often comedic take on things - he has another channel "off the ranch" which is basically a vlog of him and his family which wouldn't normally my thing but I find it very compelling viewing.

I'm fortunate enough to speak 3 languages so I came across this guy Sepp who does "Waldhandwerk" (forest craft or bushcraft) in Bavaria. He's done stuff with survival lily etc. His channel is full of videos and he does quite a few of them in English

Early videos were often in conjunction with Aron Snyder from Kifaru (premium pack maker). Not bushcraft, but they head out into the Rockies hunting for a week or more at a time and spend a lot of time in the field. Long videos on shelters (inc tarps), gear for the mountains, navigation, water purification, photography. Then they have interviews with people talking about a lot of stuff, some hunts, but some about nutrition for the back country, physical training and health. They did one recently with the author of Buck Buck Moose that had some interesting stuff about cooking game.

Hill People Gear have some really nice videos they refer to as Longhouse series about packing, outdoor tools, navigation clothing and food

If you are a fisherman, mikefsher has a nice channel of trout fishing adventures in New Zealand

Need to say: Steve 1989: is he some kind of an attention seeking idiot?
Only poisoned himself twice?
Wonder if he has heard about a lethat toxin called Botulinum ?

Internet breeds fools.........

Lol true there an element of morbid curiosity. The anticipation of his gag reflex kicking in as he nibbles on a sixty year old biscuit. However it's not like he fearlessly scoffs the older ones down, some components clearly have not survived the passing of time. Yet some items strangely do.

Bushcraft - a lot that’s been said. Recently been catching up on TA Outdoors. I also like ‘Simon, a bloke in the woods’.

Non bushcraft - wood by Wright, Jimmy Diresta et al.
