Found these buckskin pants second-hand, but they didn’t fit. So I rebuilt them stitch by stitch and made them ready for the bush. Skill is learned by doing. 🎯 Learn with us: barefootbushcraft.com #barefootbushcraft #bushcraft #buckskin #ancestralskills #northwoods

00:00I didn't always want to be an outdoor teacher. I wanted to be a lumberjack. No, just kidding.

00:05The other day on Facebook Marketplace, I found somebody who had a listing for a beautiful set

00:11of buckskin pants that are like 40 some odd years old. So I jumped on them, you know, I went and I

00:17picked them up, brought them home, and I went to try them on. And I'm like, you know, they fit good

00:22here. Oh no, the leg tubes. They don't fit my giant slavic legs. The leg tubes, they don't,

00:29they don't fit. What do I do? So what I did was I ended up taking them and cutting them

00:36from the ankles all the way up and literally putting this patch in them that you can see

00:40right here. So I put a patch of buckskin in it. And then on the bottom, that's my requirement.

00:45I have to have a little ties down there to cinch them. And there we go. Beautiful set of buckskin

00:52pants that now I have for, you know, teaching students out in the woods, chopping wood, whatever

00:58I need to do. So yeah, I'm super, super happy with these. They've got like, they came with

01:02the suspenders, they've got like all the weird button flap thing at the front, which is kind

01:07of neat. They look good from the back. Pretty happy with that. Yeah. So anyways, I literally

01:13built my own set of buckskin pants out of an old antique pair. And now I've got another pair.

01:21Thanks for watchin.
