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!
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.
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.
I've sealed smaller bark container with spruce pitch before, but nothing of this size. I would like to give it a go at some point. Thanks for watching!
I know its not practical but it would be entertaining to see a set of armor designed in this fashion. Thanks for putting the time and effort into making this video i will retain and share this knowledge.
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?
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.
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!
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!
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.

It never ceases to amaze me how innovative our ancestors were to come up with stuff like this.
Yes. And they were so creative and knowledgeable because they were truly connected to God Almighty the Creator. Subscribed.
im thinking it all comes to trial n' error
Whenever I watch your videos, I know it will be fascinating and time well spent. Thank you.
Thank you!

I had never seen work like this. I think it's a good job to try to do it yourself
This is one of the coolest things I've seen on the internet. I'd love to see more projects and stuff like this. Thanks for sharing.
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.
That looks beautiful! You certainly love your natural crafts. Wish they would teach these skills in an outdoor classroom! Thank you for sharing.
TOP JOB
That's so cool I bet it would also make a good pot for a big plant, just gotta make some drainage holes on the bottom
That was a very nice project. Cheers and God Bless! ✌️🇨🇦
Thank you for watching! God bless you too!
God bless you.
Love to see the vids 👌 can’t wait to see some more, God bless🙏🏾
God bless you too!
awesome!
And I thought birch bark was the only useable material for containers! 🤩
Very clever ideas there. End result result turned out great 👍
Thank you for watching!
Excellent. If you were in need in the back country this would do nicely.👍👌
Great job Ryley 👍
Thanks for watching!
This one is amazing. So simple materials, such a great vibes in the video and incredible result.
Keep going man, you are great!
Unbelievable how much knowledge you have about bushcraft. Great job on the basket
Great work 😅
Hey Ryley, great project mate really enjoy your craft work. ATB Pete
Thanks for watching, Pete!
awesome
One impressive project. Well done. Appreciate your knowledge and time.
Your craftsmanship is outstanding. I find your pronunciation of template interesting. In the south we pronounce it temp•lit. Thank you!
Awesome, and the bark is natural camouflage 👍🏽

That's awesome. Never thought of roots being like string :)
Необыкновенная 😍
I just love stuff made by hand with only natural mats.
really cool man
Very cool Ryley, Thanks for sharing. ✌️
Kurk would fit into any era or generation..
Great video!!
Great basket. I've never seen someone do something like that.
Thank you for watching!
A very nice project, enjoyed every moment of it. i want to try this on a smaller scale for a container. Thx!
I know its not practical but it would be entertaining to see a set of armor designed in this fashion.
Thanks for putting the time and effort into making this video i will retain and share this knowledge.
Awesome video sir, you make it so entertaining to watch. God bless you and the province of Alberta with Danielle Smith 😀
Good work brother...

Yup they're bad this year!
That is pretty awesome
Nice!!
Cool video thanks!👍👍
That's what I'd like to see! A backpack out of bark!!
Amazing 😮
Come ON this is the beeeeeeeeeeest!! Where did you learn all of this???
Calentando en fuego 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 no es más flexible??

How did you tie off the ends.
Super 😀 dziękuję pozdrawiam serdecznie 🤗👍👏💪🐺🐾🏞️🥇☕🍰🧸💚🙌
Je viens de France et c’est incroyable
🇫🇷
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?
I think a handle would be very doable 👍
impressive !!!
Would it be possible to waterproof the inside?
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!
Gloves would help greatly!
Your beard is epic
Haha thank you!
Very interesting .. You must of wanted to make a BB Canoe at one point, or already have ?
The roots of the spruce can be used for a Cord.
👍
I wonder how well this will age after ten or twenty years?.....or more!
❤❤
Looks amazing and what knife are you using?
Would the bark reconstitute and become more supple if you soak it first?
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!
👍✨💥💐🌟💯
Wondering why you call it a template.
I misspoke. Should've been calling it a pattern. Not a big deal though, I'm sure everyone knew what I was implying.
Hi sar
Ever make Bark Bread?
Not yet, nope.
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
I plan to go back and harvest the wood. 👍 Thanks for watching!
@@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.
second teehee
Why did you buy a new knife? Why did you make a bark basket?

Never cut with downward force toward yourself.
First view and the first comment!
Much appreciated!

awesome
