Kusk Bushcraft's upload calendar stayed empty, but the channel collected roughly 137,000 views over the past seven days. Subscribers held steady, while daily viewing is running above its usual level. This is a week for the back catalogue, not a new expedition.
The busiest of its highlighted older uploads, "Deep Snow Winter Bushcraft - Minimalist Open Shelter Camp", begins with a homemade equipment test. Kusk straps on willow snowshoes and heads into snow deep enough to make walking without them hard work. "It is finally time to test out these snowshoes I just made," he says. Soon he's following wolf tracks through the forest, looking for somewhere to camp.
The shelter is a canvas poncho pitched as a lean-to, with a floating ridge pole suspended from a nearby tree. A foam pad and wool blankets supply the bed; cut logs become a seat. Dinner is plain hot dogs roasted on a sharpened willow stick. The small domestic details give this trip its character, particularly his dwindling supply of strike-anywhere matches and a vintage Mirro cook kit he found after making his Nesmuk series.
Elsewhere in the archive, "Can I SURVIVE? Canvas Tarp & Traditional Gear VS. Rainstorm!" continues drawing views with another wool-and-canvas camp in Alberta. "DIY Candle Lantern - Great for Camping, Power Outages, & Decoration" adds a workshop counterpart: turning glass bottles and jars into candle lanterns. Between homemade snowshoes, a sewn tarp and repurposed glass, making things remains as much a part of Kusk Bushcraft as spending the night outdoors.
