Spring's started here ... things to do

 

[S7eve]

RoKKiT KiT makes for excellent viewing (especially if you love Australia!). He generally fishes off remote beautiful islands, catches with rod or speargun, then cooks up great dishes on the islands. The locations are mostly astonishing and his down to earth approach is very cool. I warn you your badly gonna want his Aussie tarp after viewing his camp set up.

Not very long ago DM was some kind of money. What is it now?

Direct message as opposed Private message that we used to use. I had to look it up a while ago

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).

I haven't seen this chap mentioned so have a look at Townsend's channel. Living history, historical reenactment but with a homestead and Bushcraft twist. Its mostly 17th century , plenty or cooking on fires & dutch ovens but also (what I've linked to) historically researched log cabin building & frontier living.

An excellent channel

KennethKramm - if nothing else take a look at his cooking setup, does a lot of baking on the trail
Reallbigmonkey1 - lot of emphasis on improvisation and making gear yourself

 

[chimpy leon]

I watch some of the aforementioned but I especially like Coalcracker bushcraft, simply for the reason he’s the only person in the entire world to successfully teach me how to tie the truckers hitch.

 

[Bee Outdoors]

Paul Kirtley is one of my favourites to watch, there are so many new YouTube channels recently sometimes it’s nice to explore the new ones too

 

[MartiniDave]

Morakniv and Jogge Sundkvist have done an excellent series on knife grips and carving, well worth a look, as is Dave Canterbury's knot clinic. Rob Evans has a good channel too.

So Lockdown interest, I learnt how to use a Sewing Machine.

My Mother in Law is not able to sew anymore, she used to make Wedding Dresses and Dresses etc so I acquired it. It cost £180 new, has never been serviced in 40 years of use, weighs an absolute ton. Was going to cost £130 for a full service, a new one approx £80.
So good ole utube saw a complete sewing machine services, bought some mini screwdriver etc 4hrs later back to new. Total cost £7.99 and WD40 + 3-1 Oil which I already had sorted.

I've sewn Lots of leather good, Axe Covers, Sheaths for my Mora, Case for Bushcraft Kit, Re-designed a Down sleeping bag for a Under Quilt for hammocks. using the appropriate needles.
Replaced 2 zips in clothing where it was estimated to cost £30 each, bought 2 YKK zips from ebay £12.00, 2nd zip went in better due to doing the 1st one and learning.
And many more bits, even strengthened some straps with Kevlar string. Love using it.

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?

Craig fordham is the best iv seen when it comes to friction fire he's excellent

A wood carving exploration = carving and assembly of a Pacific Northwest halibut hook. This Tlingit design is fairly typical of a the hook used from Oregon in the south to Alaska in the north. I expect to have 3 of these on the bench before too much longer. Two Tlingit hook kits and my attempt to copy a Kwakwaka'Wakw design from the University Of British Columbia Museum of Anthropology online collection (UBC/MOA)

10,000+ years of experience, maybe more, has produced a hook which fishes itself, selects only medium-sized halibut and as you handline the catch, rolls the halibut over on it's back so it cannot fight as much.

tlinget were a very resourcefull people

 

[Robson Valley]

Whether by theft or by trade, that halibut hook technology is all up and down the west coast. Same as the Peruvian potatoes that Tsimshian, Tlingit and Haida are growing even today.
