One can imagine a well made Kuksa serving a Sami reindeer herder well for years in the Arctic area of northern Scandnavia.
To see how to make one, check out this video!
Bushcraft is more than having so much gear that you look like a mobile sporting goods and hardware store in the middle of nowhere; a big part of bushcraft is being able to make your own tools and utensils.
The Kuksa is a fairly easy project to endeavor although it takes patience to not be over-eager and try to cut off too much wood, risking ruining the shape of the vessel.
Whether for personal use or as a barter item, a well made Kuksa would easily meet all your drinking vessel needs and as you made more you would get better and better at it!

If you believe this video where they use bones, guts, hair and all to make hot dogs, you are a special kind of stupid!

That’s the guy from the one of those shows
And he is also spoke person for Morakniv which is who makes that cool little blade of mine
Its only a proper Kuska if you do it while drunk
Bushcrafting implies made with tool you would have in the bush. Who carries a 2″ gouge around with them in the bush?
