200,000 Subscriber Giveaway Announcement

Description

Please note that this is not the Giveaway Entry video, this will follow on from this video when I have finished all of the crafts for the giveaway.

I have been busy in workshop over the last two weeks crafting some Bushcraft tools from leather, horn and antler to giveaway for my 200,000 subscriber giveaway. I have been on YouTube since late 2011 making videos about outdoor skills and I am honored that so many enjoy watching the videos I make.

Thank you to all who interact with me one here and support me in which ever way you do, it means a great deal and I hope you enjoy whats to come.

Mike
