  1. 0:55Finn Creaney was an experienced Scottish survivalist who made videos as Wildcat Bushcraft.
  2. 12:37Creaney's waterlogged rucksack was found beside Loch Naver long after his disappearance, which remains unresolved.
  3. 17:07Danish creator Albert Dyrlund traveled to Mount Seceda, where he suffered a fatal fall while filming.
  4. 23:33Storm De Beul's solo trek in northern Sweden ended during a severe snowstorm that grounded rescue helicopters.
  5. 33:48Kyle reads a memorial statement from De Beul's parents and closes with thoughts on wilderness safety.

Experience isn't a guarantee. That is the thread running through Kyle Hates Hiking's only new upload, "I Investigated Outdoor Survival YouTubers Who DIDN'T Survive...", which reached roughly 44,000 views in its first five hours.

Kyle begins with Finn Creaney, the Scottish survivalist behind Wildcat Bushcraft, emphasizing that he was an experienced outdoorsman. He retraces Creaney's planned trek from Loch Naver to Golspie Beach, the search that followed his disappearance, and the discovery of his waterlogged rucksack much later. The distinction matters: Creaney's disappearance remains unresolved, rather than having the confirmed explanation of the other stories.

The documentary then turns to Danish creator Albert Dyrlund's fatal fall on Mount Seceda and Belgian creator Storm De Beul's final trek in northern Sweden, where a severe snowstorm prevented rescuers from reaching him overnight. Kyle pushes back against treating wilderness accidents as something that happens only to people who take obvious risks. The video includes a sponsored mattress segment between chapters.

Across the channel, the subscriber total held at a million this week, while daily views are running below their usual level. Nearby outdoors storyteller Survivorman - Les Stroud is also seeing a slower daily viewing pace.

Older investigations remain important to Kyle's audience: the upload about missing creators Justin Shelter and Joe Domin currently draws the most daily views, followed closely by his September account of Marco Siffredi on Everest. The new film returns to that same difficult territory: people who knew the outdoors, documented their adventures and did not come home.
