You have many talents my friend. Teaching is one as well as sewing. I really appreciate your channel, you have such a wide range of skills and the patience to demonstrate your crafts in an entertaining way. You are a throwback to more simple and self reliant times.

one suggestion: Toss in a few stitches into the back of the pants and through the drawstring the keep it in place. I have noticed hoodies are doing that and it helps a lot.

I started off by thinking that I would not find this particular video very interesting. But on the contrary, you managed to make a subject that would not usually draw me really worthwatching and informative.

There is something satisfying about the sound of a pair of fabric scissors cutting a length of fabric.

Oh i need one of these bad boys. you can also use some left over cloth and make easy pockets out of them. you just have to put them directly on the sides like 2 squares and leave the upper edge open

I suppose you could use button suspenders to keep the up too.

The video is great, I like the wool pants idea as well as the basic sewing skills. Please continue with the videos.

Your tip to block the thresd on the needle at 6:00 ... This is gold... Why nobody showed me this before

never wouldve imagined that dental floss would be used in clothing, your creativity is truly impressive~!

That might be the first time I've seen a bushcraft sewing tutorial. Great job.

Nice job, I'm going to get started. Thanks for all the tips

Just FYI, when he says "running backstitch" he means "backstitch." Running backstitch is a single back stitch into a running stitch for about the length of the needle each time. Either one would work well for this project!

OMG!!!! just in awe of your talent (and patience) you really are one amazing individual. I’ve often wondered what you do as a profession. I kind of always imagined you as maybe a boat builder of some sort. Thanks for educating and entertaining us!

Amazing project!!! An upgrade would be adding two cargo pockets! Maybe for a next video?

It is a great tailor job my friend. Good trousers for winter in the woods. Congratulations.

I find wool and wool blend dress trousers/pants in charity shops quite cheap (I think you guys call them Goodwill). Excellent tutorial though and imho sewing (making & repairing your gear) most definitely comes under bushcraft

Thanks bro. For the tips. I’m making my wool pants and anorak jacket. for winter. God bless bro

Could also add back pockets and front cargo pockets pretty easily too

This was a great video. I don't think I've ever seen anyone do anything like this on KZfaq.

Great work, I'm going to get some canvas pants and use this inside like liner's.

Extremely basic but essential information! I'm sailor and dental floss comes in assorted colors and what's remarkable, some are scented!!!

DUde , your channel is pure gold !

Very awesome looking wool pants. I like how they turned out. Cheers! 👍👍✌️🇨🇦

Brilliant as usual, I look forward to your next story on this channel or your other channel

That's the same knot I use for fishing.

Nice also love the grey wool gloves you use in your videos

Well done, sir!

Thats awesome man! I think I may make a pair or two!! Thanks man! Wool stuff can be killer expensive!

Amongst sewers popular instrument to use to run a length of cording, elastic, etc., through a waistband or the like, is a common safety pin. Use the largest one you can find. Skewer the end of the shoelace and close the pin head. Feed it into the hole, head first, and push it through, feeling it through the fabric as you go. The fabric bunches up as you feed, then you smooth it all out once your pin comes out the other end. Hope that is helpful. Also, I have never felted wool before but from what I've read, wool needs to be at least 80% wool in order to felt. I don't know what effect, if any, the non-scratchy kind of wool has on the felting process. My husband had a handknit hat made with wool yarn and it felted up as soon as he washed it. None of our other wool items ever felted up..... most of it being merino wool or other non-scratchy wool.

Well done! I appreciate you showing this..

Nice work Ryley . You would be good at knitting and crocheting . You did better than I could ever do. They look good. They should be warm on you this winter. It was nice to see you and have you share your work with us. Stay safe .

You did a pretty good job on that one Ryley 👍

Great video detailing what is just about a lost art. Growing up dirt poor in western NC just about everything i had was either completely hand made or altered to fit.

Always your number one fan!!!

I often use a whip-back-cross-stich for edges, you might consider it. It's strong, avoids fraying, and can get a good rhythm.

Excelente trabajo amigo. Saludos desde nextlalpan estado de México. 🤘🏼😎

That must be very satisfying and the trousers look great!

Excellent video!!! Very interesting

Really good vid bro🤗

Very creative

Wow this is so cool! Thanks for sharing man.

Yes camping 🏕 🔥

Very neat! I would be interested in making pockets!

Really impressive Ryley. I'll go and try it definitly on my own. And you're absolutly right - sowing is a really handy skill that every outdoorsman and oiutdoorswoman should have in his/her tool box. And as always: Great content, great filming and an very enjoyable project of yours. Cheers and greetings from Germany

Great video. I always learn something useful from these trips that I can try. Good close-up shots, definitely honing the director's skills. I myself have recently started making videos about my adventures, of course, this cannot be compared with your work yet, but I am moving very quickly towards this. 🔥

Great job! I tried sewing a heavy wool anorak once....didn't turn out so well. There's a classic book on canvas and sail work, I forget author/title but it exists! Covers all aspects of canvas work from buckets to sails to sewn grommets. My copy was stolen!

Great job

Brilliant video thanks for sharing

Thank you! Outstanding video no fluff!!! Wonderful and easy to follow.

Great Video,, Thanks for sharing!!

Great video! Thank you! 👍

Great video! I certainly learned a couple of things- especially about how you started and ended the stiches. You may have mentioned it and I missed it, but when making garments with wool blankets, it's a good idea to wash them in hot soapy water and dry them to shrink up the fibers. It increases the density of the fabric, decreases the itchiness, and prevents future shrinkage.

Nice job!

Awesome video man

I hand sewed a Haversack and after researching a bit came up with the same two stitches, the whip and the back stitch. My ending of the thread was nowhere near as elegant as yours, but I will use your method next time.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

instead of the dental floss witch will degrade, try saddle grade waxed leather stitching it will last long and be stronger stuff is unbreakable will will last 100 years.

Great video! Did you not make a video on how to make your tin pants?

Look! Out in the woods! He cooks... he carves... he sews.... it's Supercamper! 😉Great tips.

Just wondering if you are still at the trap line? Great video and great job on the project!

Omg you can sew too? You’re literally my dream man lol

You know what?...I very much appreciate your videos. Almost, dare I say, Dick Proenneke style. Cheers from the coast

Hello. please tell me - what are the advantages of dental floss, why not a good sewing thread? (probably you said, but I don't understand English)

I'm wondering, if you prewashed the blanket before sewing, would that preshrink the fabric so that it would be washable? I've had problems with a couple wool shirts shrinking, even though I gently hand washed them.

Great video. Thanks. What kind of pants were used for the pattern? What's the material?

Whose the wool pants model at the end of the video ? LOL

👏👍💪💐🥇☕

Do you still have the video of waxing your pants to make them water resistant, I can’t find it..

I think i have a New Projekt 😏

If anyone needs more detail on hand stitching, I’ve found this playlist super helpful kzfaq.info/sun/PLNyjJVmKWu_pOycwgVkcZ76diq8nVfGld

Will you wax those too?
