Unbelievable how much knowledge you have about bushcraft. Great job on the basket

I had never seen work like this. I think it's a good job to try to do it yourself

I really admire your respect for the nature and trying to minimise your impact on the environment when bushcrafting. It's good content and I'm here for it!

I just love stuff made by hand with only natural mats.

That looks beautiful! You certainly love your natural crafts. Wish they would teach these skills in an outdoor classroom! Thank you for sharing.

Love to see the vids 👌 can’t wait to see some more, God bless🙏🏾

Riley you are so knowlwledgeable about bushcraft. Especially for your young age. It's a pleasure and a privilege to watch you work. Thanks for sharing.

And I thought birch bark was the only useable material for containers! 🤩

You make it look easy. Thanks for the video it made it easier to comprehend.

God bless you.

I’d really enjoy hearing you talk about how you learned about what it is you do. Very interesting I’d think.

Brilliant.😁👍🏻

Your craftsmanship is outstanding. I find your pronunciation of template interesting. In the south we pronounce it temp•lit. Thank you!

I originally read "spruce bark blanket" and thought "Oh, a spruce bark bivy!" A great foraging basket all the same - gather a lot of calories and nutrients in that! Have you ever sealed one up with sap to capture rain or carry water? Lots of water in Alberta, so rarely a need for such an item, but a fun project.

You think if you had a big enough piece of spruce bark like this with this kind of frameless construction that you could make a boat and it'd be sturdy enough to go fishing?

@KuskBushcraft

Жыл бұрын

Spruce bark canoes were historically used to travel across water. I think a frame would be necessary in order to maintain the shape and to add structure to the vessel. Without the frame I feel the bark would crack.

Amazing video as always. Do you think u could put a spruce root handle on the top with some additional support for the rope holes?

@KuskBushcraft

Жыл бұрын

I think a handle would be very doable 👍

that's a nice looking basket, would like to make one too at some point! have to admit that the amount of mosquitoes was freaking me out by the end D: did you bring some repellant or do the mosquitoes not care about you at all? I usually end up having a bunch of them landing on me at the same time, trying to suck me dry during summer...

@KuskBushcraft

Жыл бұрын

Thanks for watching! It was a fun project to make. I wear insect repellant. Between the mosquitoes and biting midges the repellant is almost a necessity.

Very interesting .. You must of wanted to make a BB Canoe at one point, or already have ?

I wonder how well this will age after ten or twenty years?.....or more!

Looks amazing and what knife are you using?

👍✨💥💐🌟💯

The roots of the spruce can be used for a Cord.

Hi sar

How did you tie off the ends.

Would the bark reconstitute and become more supple if you soak it first?

@KuskBushcraft

Жыл бұрын

When it dries it becomes hard like wood. I'm not sure if it would fully rehydrate and become soft again. I'll have to give it a try. Thanks for watching!

Would it be possible to waterproof the inside?

@KuskBushcraft

Yes, using spruce resin combined with a few other natural materials it would be very doable. I plan to make a waterproof container soon using spruce bark. Stay tuned!

Wondering why you call it a template.

It's too bad that you didn't harvest any of the wood from the tree. The section under the bark you exposed would be great for multiple woodworking purposes

@@KuskBushcraft Thanks for the reply. I really enjoy your videos. I hated the thought that that tree was not going to be used for something. It was such a magnificent one.

Why did you buy a new knife? Why did you make a bark basket? “Well… it all started at 4am…”
