Have you taken up armchair bush crafting due to lockdown.
If so what’s your go to you-tubers?
Mines Wild Green Johanna, silent bushcraft & wild woman bushcraft. St wilderness Adventures for when I can’t sleep.. 5 mins of that & out like a light.(must be the sounds).
Not really into the food prep & eat stuff or gear reviews, they just bore me!
Just the hands on different fire technique knock myself up a kuksa or spoon build myself a chair type of stuff. Oh & all those different types of hammock set up ones.(I like hammocks).
Maybe I’ve missed one you could recommend , but I doubt it as I think I’ve exhausted them all & getting bored.
Recently came across one called primitive technology based in Queensland Australia, oh he’s good, very good?

The Fish Locker. Brilliant info on fishing from the sea, coastal foraging, free diving (all things I like to do) and all done in such a way that its like you and him are just walking along and chatting. Very informative and knowledgeable.

Haze Outdoors. My sense of humour, the guy who wild camps, wild swims, does camping with a bit of bushcraft thrown in. Ale reviews and a strong advocate for Mental Health. Good to watch just for the gags.....

Paul Kirtley, Dave Canterbury, Corporals Corner, and Mors Kochanski's old videos of course.

And Keith H. Burgess.

As you see, I prefere no nonsense videos and switch off if I see technical faults.

The Outdoor Gear Review I watch too.

Lots of Youtubists mumble with their backs turned. Any hearing challenges and I might as well wash dishes.

I have some cords and ropes of different colors and sizes.
I have Des Pawson's book: KNOTS The Complete Visual Guide.
I did a lot of rope splicing on a fish boat many decades ago.

Thought that I'd work my way through Pawson's book and tie every thing he has included. Actually kind of fun.

Some great viewing recommendations in this thread, I haven’t really watched tv for 15/20 years now. I watch YouTube instead. Just recently found the Hidden Vally chaps channel, nice channel.

Bert Evans Outdoorsman is also great viewing, fire skills, feather sticking, he likes his feather stickings, reviews and cups a tea. Fellas really humorous too. Top lad.
