The Bushcraft Chair Woodcraft How To 

This is an excellent how-to video, no words, no unnecessary waste, just the instructions. This video is universally accessible to people around the world who speak any language! What a great job! And the dog was a bonus :)

Not gonna lie the dog “helping” was some of the best parts of the video

I like this style of video. Good blocking and editing. Clear "how-to" with no unnecessary words. Nice music. Pleasant to watch and informative. Thanks for the work you put into this video. Love the chair.

I did something like this a month ago with plans from Woodglut.

Sometimes the best instructional videos have no "sound". Too many people have to jabber away incessantly through their videos. A very good demonstration that has earned you a new subscriber

Really great diy clip. Cool chair by a man with simple tools, just an axe and a knife, oh! and a fellow dog😊. I’ll build one like this with bamboo from my backyard. Thanks from Thailand.

Just watched this video because I was heading out to the woods for the day and get sick of the extra weight of a stool, built it simply from watching your video. Very simple, very very comfortable. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this!

Interesting, I liked the way your dog was helping :-)

Thank you sir you have given me my project for the weekend on my camp.

Perfect, the thumbs up and nod at the end! Thanks for sharing your skills.

I watched your latest this 2 a.m. eastern time U.S. (pancakes birch syrup carving a ladle) but when you pulled out your chair I said, wait... whut?? So I'm working my way thru your channel, catching up to present day, filling in the bits i have missed Never run when you can walk, never walk when you can stand and never stand when you can sit even if you must make your own chair. I worked in construction, first as a carpenter for many years and if we wanted to sit it was a bucket or a stack of wood or a stool or bench knocked together But later in life I was a laborer tending brick block and mortar to masons and working with them was the best, as with that nothing was more handy and plentiful that an 8" x 16 " cement block stood on end. There's nothing more satisfying than taking after working, as evident in your face Great stuff and Musen was so little then... and playful too. I had to show my wife how she stood on your back and how you kept at your task w/o missing a beat.

I was mesmerized by the verbal silence. I love it! Thank you for the video sir. (thumbs up, subscribed)

3:41 - Dog, " _hold whatcha got, mate . . . I've got your back. Go on now_ ."

Have seen a few builds like this, yours is one of the best. I am going to copy next time I'm out to the wood. Thank you.

man the woods where im at you have vines everywhere poison ivy on every corner there is no good wood and the wood leans on other trees so felling a tree is so fun and your woods are like a dream for me

Thanks for the great tutorial, I built your throne from hazelnut and it is exactly the comfort loves the Bushcrafter, a piece of nature to feel good !! many greetings from "wild" southern Germany

Just the chair I needed, Living in the woods this year, and just cut down a few 3in pines that are coming in handy for all types of projects. Thanx for sharing.

Hello! Don, Nice video I have seen a few people making these now, including one using a triangular piece of thick canvas to attach to the frame. The canvas isn't too heavy to carry and is a bit more comfortable to sit on than wood struts or twigs. The canvas has brass grommets at the angles to facilitate using para chord. It saves a bit of cutting too. 😂 All the best. God bless, Steven.

Good to see you, I love your no nonsense approach to your videos. you are the very few i can watch at night when I can't sleep and need a non verbal nature experience. Thank you.

This is a brilliant bushcraft build. Am going to have a go at one for my son

Well Mr Don I did it finally I made this yesterday at my fishing spot and it worked very well and held me up which says alot considering that I weigh close to 300 lbs I had to stake down the back end because I was fishing on the bank of a lake which was kinda steep but other than that I made it exactly the way you made yours It just took a long time considering that My right hand Is severely injured and has about a dozen stitches in it As soon as I can figure out how I will upload a picture of it. I really enjoy your videos and I wish you would start making more.

The advantages to your camp chair is it uses less wood than the tripod chairs I've seen, plus one good long log will do the trick. In a survival or long trek to reach the spot that means less energy spent when you feel the need to keep off the ground, Wood ticks, chiggers not withstanding. By knocking off the bark it seems good to go without unwelcome company.

Perfect !!! I'm so happy I decided to watch RU-vid at work today because my plan was to shoot a video of me making this same chair tomorrow (inspired by the one I saw in your previous video) RU-vid doesn't need two of these films so I guess I get to enjoy making mine in peace without the hassle of a camera now instead:) Great video! Cool ending. Thank you!

I like that you made it portable. lots of chairs that style are crazy long.

Awesome! Been looking for someone to do a video on this style of chair so I can build one. Great work!

This was my first Don Von Gun video experience all those years ago. I just revisited this again after building one for some kids. Classic!

Well done good sir. Your dog makes a great supervisor. Superb job making the video. Thank you for sharing.

Well done my friend you have taught us all something today, beautiful woodlands, great video footage, you make the forest proud.

Good job, looks failsafe! Absolutely love your supervisor, looking over your shoulder, checking your work!

Helpy Mchelperson showing you how its done. I have one of those to. Good friends are our dogs. Cheers from BC Canada.

Nicely done Sir! Thank you for the demonstration, a very helpful and enjoyable presentation.

great video. well edited, easy to follow along, thanks. That chair look very comfortable. especially the last modifications on the seat. good hatchet skills. enjoyed it thanks.

Thanks for sharing. Sweet chair. I'm gonna' try to get out before the weekend ends and make one of these...and have a coffee using it. Cheers!

Bushcraft whit art!!!!!!!!!👍👍👍👍👍

Nice axe work. Could probably modify it to make a nice pack frame as well. Nice simple design. Love the dog!

Pretty handy little chair. Sweet rotating time lapse at the end.

Don, excellent video, I am looking for camp chair designs and yours is the best. Thanks for the video. I make videos too, and many people do not realize how much time and effort is invested in making good ones. Good work,

Just what I was looking for. The state parks of New Hampshire will soon be littered with these chairs. Thank you !

Great video...enjoyed it all, you and your dog, the chair...wow, very very cool! Perfect choice of music too. Very relaxing. 👍

Excellent production. Production value is excellent. I can run an axe, hatchet , saw. You have very good confidence. Nice piece.

One of the better videos on this project. Thank you! Wade

Simple yet cozy

Wonderful Project! Greets from Switzerland Felix

Minute 3:45 that little guy loves you so much I can tell. Good stuff!

Nice chair. Will attempt one myself. Thanks

Nice job Don. A good challenge is to do the same but without twine/rope.
