Kusk Bushcraft
Canada
Приєднався 12 лип 2018
I got my first pocket knife when I was five years old and since then my passions in life have always revolved around the outdoors.
My focus is not on having the latest and greatest gear. Most of the gear I use I have had for many years and I try to pack as little gear as possible. Bushcraft is about using what nature provides to live comfortably in the wilderness. A lot of the essentials and comfort items can be crafted from natural materials using the right tools and knowledge.
Forget the overloaded packs, expensive camping gear, and the never ending production of useless outdoor "essentials". Join me on my wilderness adventures where the frills are left behind and the outdoors are simply enjoyed.
I do not do gear reviews. I do not do product sponsorships. I am not an expert. Some activities I do can be dangerous. Replicating what you see me do could lead to dangerous situations that could put your health and safety at risk. Viewers be warned.

Solo Backcountry Bushcraft Tarp Camp
Join me as I return to the bushcraft tarp camp after nearly 9 months of being away. After a quick camp clean-up, I enjoy a spring overnight campout in the backcountry of Canada. This was a great outing that I thoroughly enjoyed. I'm very pleased with this camp and I have plans to develop it further. Stay tuned!

Why My Knives DO NOT Have 90° Spines
Переглядів 39 тис.28 днів тому
The square spine is often highly regarded throughout the outdoors community. Today I thought I would share my thoughts and opinions on the square spine along with my reasoning for having rounded spines on my knives. If you're somebody that enjoys working with your knife a rounded spine could offer you a more enjoyable experience. Thank you to everyone who watches, God bless!

Split Log Stove Cooking - Pancake Bacon Dippers
Переглядів 27 тис.2 місяці тому
On this very windy day I stopped trailside to have a quick lunch of pancake bacon dippers. Due to the wind I opted to use a split log stove instead of having a fire on the ground. The area I was in had a lot of debris and duff on the forest floor and with the strong winds I didn't want to risk starting a forest fire. The split log stove worked great in these conditions and left zero footprint w...

While I do wish that there was more snow and colder temperatures, I certainly can't complain about the weather during this trip.

Time to get the smoke rolling and the beaver meat preserved. I process a couple pounds of beaver meat by slicing it thin then add some seasonings. The meat then heads into the smoker where it can smoke for a few hours. After smoking and drying the final product is a huge success.

If you had a full rucksack of camping equipment why not bring a tent🤷♂️🤷♂️ bizzar
15 milyon insanın büyük ihtimalle rahat bir uykuya dalabilmek için bunu izlemesi oldukça ilginç. :) C.Jung'un kolektif bilinçdışı teorisi tam da bundan bahsediyordu sanırım
You have many talents my friend. Teaching is one as well as sewing. I really appreciate your channel, you have such a wide range of skills and the patience to demonstrate your crafts in an entertaining way. You are a throwback to more simple and self reliant times.
I don't want to be that guy, but it looks like someone made holes in that rock and it was placed there before hand
Love the videos man!! Question! What backpack are you using here? Looks really nice!!
great advice/help. uk
It's been over two weeks since your last video post... and I'm having withdrawals. I need another fix, bro... please help!
Dried fruit and veges
Sometimes I think I left hp lahool spiti to live in hell (banglore ). Earlier i was living in Delhi and belive me it's not less then hell . I don't know how the Delhi people manage to breathe here. Toxic city i ever visited. Will go back to laahool spiti (hp) and will stay there no matter I will make less money. But at least I will breath fresh air and without any anxiety.
Your so right. Thank you for your wisdom.
You are just like an Aussie bushman for sure, and i love your bush camping. Reminds me of this … ua-cam.com/video/FqtttbbYfSM/v-deo.htmlsi=BRdPqBBswPFS2RQo
Thanks for talking? Most of these I watch they don't and it's boring!
What’s the point to shave small branches when it can be used as cover…time wasted to do it instead of use larger quantities of trees..
None of the Bushcraft survival shows will work on the Oregon coast where I am there's 70 mph winds every winter and all rain., but it's a nice thing to watch... Maybe I need to go survive in the snow
I use heat shrink on the ends of all my cordage.
I’ll stick to my double bed and woolly socks thanks
Your
WEW. 27:04:2024. Second visit still find it very satisfying. I'M 68 and hope there's a lot more camping in me yet.
This branch comes right off!! And this tree falls straight down with ease😂😂😂
I have a go bag with the typical survival stuff in it. One thing I do not have or need is a ferro rod and scraper. Instead I carry lighters in multiple compartments and water proof matches as well. I realize we all feel cooler using a rod and scraper, but if my goal is survival I do not need to impress myself or anyone else. I even carry a couple of torch lighters that work in windy conditions. I cannot lose these any easier than I could a fire rod and scraper.
Have you considered honey butter with your bannock?
This guy is a genius to build such a solid thing with simple techniques!!! 😮
For those who don't know better: Saying scrapping across the edge of your tool, against any material, even with excellent quality steel, won't impair the sharpness of the blade is nonsense. "Just carry an extra tool" is never a valid argument in a survival situation where you get what you get, or in bushcraft where minimalism is a big part of the point. Make every tool you might have on you as versatile as possible. Survival doesn't happen as you choose it, it chooses you. Use your hands more if your thumbs are too soft. It's not a problem to carve for hours with a 90 degree spine, and you may find having a scrapping tool saves you a lot of carving with your thumb on the spine in the first place.
This is great. Love this.
How close was that coyote?
I was hoping you had some rice in your emergency food bag, last forever doesn't need refrigeration and will fill you up, although you were using your pot for warm tea... Idk 🤷♂️
I wish u wouldn't eat squirrel
Sacrificing everyday comfort of usage for that one time you may be in a cold storm trying to start a fire without anything else but a rod and knife.. cmon, who are we kiddin. Get a lighter. 😂
again good job!
good job on a nice unique and informative video. subscribed
That coyote sure didn't like you being there!
Eu fico nervisio de ver um acampamento em que a pessoa derruba 12 arvores para fazer uma cama
What knife is this.... thanks
I can see the benefits of both squared and rounded spine and there’s certainly a place for both. Your claim about using the edge to scrape tinder and it not dulling got me to thinking. I took an s90v blade at 63 Hrc and tested the sharpness using a BESS tester. I then scraped the edge on pine dowel to make tinder. Afterwards I tested for sharpness again and I saw an enough of drop in the BESS score to tell me scraping tinder with the edge of your knife will certainly dull it.
you make that first smoke look good, considering thats fresh unseasoned wood good to see a pipe carving vid by someone who actually try smoking it though i suspect that pipe will leak with a few bowls
After watching so many videos, I just noticed your pants. What are they and where do I get some?
warm bread with honey butter....if you know you know
Yes of course, i make my knives with round spine, bc for carving it is essential. I love my thumbs. 😊
Much appreciated.
I neither use a fix blade or Ferro rod.
show parabéns
Nope, that's not for me but my hats off to you if you like it.
Thanks, just subbed. This is the real deal and I like the survival skills you show
Where does this moonbat take a crap?
I've heard that the web around the tree has to be a minimum of 1 inch to avoid harm.
I've used nothing but Sorel winter boots in the winter since age 3 to age 44, but I never thought to wear them out in the woods like that. You must have to lace them up tight for the hike in but I'm sure they're wicked comfy around camp...
That is pretty awesome
❤❤🎉🎉
Im supposed to study for an exam thats tomorrow that i could fail, but here I am, watching how to survive in snow
