Beaver tail, armadillo and duck soup on The Wooded Beardsman's wild menu
Eight uploads, nearly all of them catch-and-cook, with a trap tutorial and a skills short tucked between the meals.
Why this story? The channel's weekly summary: what went up this week, what is drawing views now, and where the channel stands among similar channels.
Eating beaver tail (actually)
The Wooded Beardsman spent the week eating his way through the wild, the way his channel promises: he does not catch and release, he catches and keeps, and then he cooks. Eight uploads went up, and the titles read like a menu few restaurants would print.
Beaver tail came first, with a pointed "(actually)" in the title, and it remains the most watched of the batch. Then came armadillo, billed with a joke about leprosy, a lesson on keeping wild meat by eating it straight off the carcass, and a wild bird the title insists is better than chicken.
The newest uploads are the ones with momentum. "The simple skill you need!", a day old, is drawing views faster than anything else on the channel, with "Hear me out - Duck soup!" and a trap video, which the title says could save your life, close behind. The beaver tail has mostly settled.
Overall the channel ran a little under its usual daily pace, at a bit under 40,000 views a day. Among outdoors and homesteading channels of similar size, Nate Petroski is having the big week, running well above his norm, while Fowler's Makery and Mischief and Kamoka Pearl are quieter too. With Canadian Thanksgiving ten days off, a duck soup lands at a fitting moment. The Beardsman's real holiday table, though, would need room for a beaver.
