Making Gear Last - Patching a Hole in Cotton/Canvas Material

Just a quick video showing my method of repairing large holes/tears in cotton material.
Thank you to everyone who watches.

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. 😊

[@KuskBushcraft]

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

I sometimes loop back to previous stich to knot each one.

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 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.

[@benl8704]

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

[@bigrig4385]

Never say never.

I watched my mom use a needle and thread and hit has come in handy throughout my life. Especially camping

[@donaldhofman5257]

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!

[@zekemedia1310]

Thanks for the video. Enjoy watching them

[@KuskBushcraft]

Thanks for watching!

[@mc909a]

Dental floss is an interesting idea. Thanks

[@aranha9365]

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.

[@boodledemic6430]

Somehow you make even repairing pants relaxing and entertaining haha. Always a fan of your content ❤

[@jo-qf3rv]

Upholstery thread works good too!!!

[@johnovanic9560]

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

[@user-ox1og7xu5y]

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

[@user-yy2id4gl6x]

Made my own pair out of German heavy brush mil. pants from your original video. They work great in the outlands of western NY. Thanks live well live free Geist Wulf

[@valaska_tdd]

Huh, gonna use this to brush up some of my writing for our games.

[@sdsi68]

Yo great hand sewing skills Riley 😃, great info on patch work and sewing styles 👍, keep up the great work and looking forward to your next video 😁🤙🤙🤙

[@cristoforcasto2400]

Crusty squatters in the 90s used to do patchwork with dental floss. ; ) I still use it.

[@kevinstrabley3816]

That’s some good work.

[@richardholappajr.6184]

Thank you for another practical video! This information is always useful.

[@alanchomor701]

never can tell what you might learn here...good content Kusk

[@german97]

Good sewing and good advice. Greetings from Argentina.

[@kingrafa3938]

Nice work Ryley!

[@KuskBushcraft]

Thanks!

[@danielethier2015]

Always learning something new viewing you content. Much appreciated as always! Bidding all a great week!! God bless

[@WestForkWoodsman]

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.

[@KuskBushcraft]

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.

[@WestForkWoodsman]

@@KuskBushcraft We will bury you in those pants! 🤣

[@RosemaryS2127]

I like the idea if using leather to strengthen the knee area of your waxed trousers.

[@anas5847]

Very useful video thank you

[@moorshound3243]

Good job

[@ZombieQueen819]

What a nice video my friend, great job Stay Safe Always 🦍🦍🦍

[@quietlife7186]

[@batwithglasses]

Really enjoy your channel, off topic question..what brand of pipe do you smoke and tobacco?..it's a dying art.

[@KuskBushcraft]

Thanks for tuning in. I have a lot of different pipes and tobaccos that I smoke. Hard to beat a nice virginia flake in a cob pipe!

[@batwithglasses]

@KuskBushcraft Nice!..I'm a Burley or Dunhill 965 in a Peterson meerschaum or briar sorta guy..

[@justinterbasket4565]

After a while it's just time to call er a day n start a new pair

[@loungelizard3922]

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.

[@michaeladams9807]

👍👍™️

[@shanedavidson398]

Do you have a video on how to wax cotton or canvas.

[@steveschartner7962]

Speed sew

[@jason9608]

I will tell ya from experience, don't wax your own pants while wearing them. And don't drink.

[@nutthrower4415]

Always enjoy my Stitching projects. Thanks for the share
