    I made a pair of my own waxed cotton pants, based off of your original video. I used bison hide for my knee patches. I have found them to be extraordinary bush pants! I made a tin coat as well. I learn much from you! Thanks for the great video. 😊

      Glad to hear! Hopefully the pants and coat will last you many years. Thanks for watching!

    Many talents and very handy to be able to use them. Most wouldn't take the time or go to the trouble to repair but simply buy new. Nice to see someone actually intent on using a product beyond it's normal life span. Good job sir, enjoy for a few more years in the great outdoors.

    I will never own trousers like this, I will never need to do this process, but your content is interesting and relaxing and I love it. Thank you so much for the content you provide

    I like how you hand stitch everything. I do that as well. Everyone is in such a rush to use machines, I think quality is sacrificed. I actually like to sew.

    It's always a good day when Kusk pushes out a new video... Thanks for sharing your skills, this is exactly how I patch holes in my jeans. It's good to know I'm on the right track... Your pants have some real character. I'll bet there's not another pair like 'em anywhere. Peace to you my friend, ~Tim, Alaska

    Yes! That's the same way I was taught by my mom 60 years ago! Except we didn't have dental floss around then! I discovered using floss 15 years ago and that was a game changer!

    Your hand stitching is really good. I started to use old braided line that I remove from my fishing reels ( 30lb) to repair tears on my camping gear/ clothes, that stuff is pretty tough, most fisherman just throw it away.

    You are definitely hard on a set of britches. I like the tin pants concept. Made my first set this last year not exactly pants but I used bibs. Nothing like having a good set of brush Busters

    Very nice tutorial. I was just wondering about this while watching your latest outing. Nothing cooler looking than stitched patches. Many would discard them a buy new pants with no soul.

      No sense in tossing something that can be fixed. I'll continue wearing these pants til the material falls apart haha.
      Thanks for watching! Happy trails.

    Using dental floss is genius, cotton thread is so fragile in comparison, especially the cheap stuff. What do you think of canvas clothing? It's expensive is the only thing.
