These are still some very beautiful shots^^

That's awesome. Great job. Respect from Baltimore.

Underwater drone shot; very advanced!

2 seconds later..."What an immersive experience." In more ways than one. lol Great video as always guys

Have you heard of the round shaped type of vessels made from Buffalo skin's the name escapes me but I'd love to see you try it!

I wish I could follow someone around and help build things and not have to talk much.

But then you get that thing from Eiffel 65

Get some nut on it for good luck

Hahahahahahah so true

It was nerve-wracking to say the least!

Me too!

So did I!

Nah, it was money in the bank.

Happy Canada Day!

Hugo Desrosiers-Plaisance that’s great. Happy Canada Day. I saw a Canadian flag out in a town near me in Maryland. They must be Canadian.

Hahaha, I just worked on my canoe- repaired the gun whales. (Very Canadian i know). Now its rum and coke, watching this video. Life is good.

Mans is going to storm Florida soon.

@@Planclanman3 As a FL resident, I’m okay with that.

Feels like I'm playing Poly Bridge :)

Seconded! If there's room in your shop, you could hang it overhead, maybe? Or donate it to Conner Prairie, or a similar organization there in Indiana?

Exactly. It won't last long if used as a canoe until it falls apart, but it doesn't have to be waterproof to become a museum exhibit.

Respectfully, it should be used. Maybe another can be made for a museum, but use the first one until it no longer floats

@@adrianfirewalker4183 Agreed! I'd have as much fun and film as many videos as possible....

That guy never went a day without bleeding i swear!

Roy had an amazing show, whatever happened to him?.

LittleBunnySunshine. Yes, I would say that it went swimmingly. Lol.

Indeed! It was smooth sailing!

LittleBunnySunshine canoes dont have sails

teamwork makes the dream work

Or just, y'know, buy one.

lol idk about all that. But i can definitely watch these guys make one and stare in awe at their handiwork. I was really skeptical at first, seeing the bark, i thought there was no way lol

Try it! I might recommend something similar to start (they have an excellent video for making a dugout canoe as well) - but you never know what you can do until you try!

Adrea Brooks I’ve started making more food and items for my house and family rather than buying made items. I had failures along the way but they taught me to try again.

@waterside I know and it's amazing.

Now that I've found this channel, they will be!

Good teacher

@愛 Yeah, as a temporary solution, this bark canoe fits perfectly. Maybe poachers or hunters sought out these methods when dealing with small time frames and not many resources for a dugout canoe. In Chile, native like Onas or Yagan people used pelt-made canoes due to the lightness and some bark canoes have been discovered as well.

It's definitely the better canoe... for as long as it lasts!

The dugout canoe is like a cast iron skillet; with proper maintenance it’ll last a lifetime. Sure..you can buy a cheap Wal-Mart pan for a faction of the cost, but it won’t last very long and you’ll have to replace it again and again.

I was wondering the same thing. I think in the first video they said it would last about a week, but I was wondering if it would be worth wax sealing it or using resin to seal it, to make it last longer.

The bark gets extremely brittle when dry and molds quickly if wet ... so. If it were possible the ancients ( and Townsend ) wouldv'e figured it out. Spruce bark last a little longer. See Nomadic woodsmans build. Very in depth , 6 parts. For longevity birchbarks the way to go.

Sadly, most indigenous people groups have lost a lot of knowledge, just as our own culture has. Most of us know nothing of how to turn raw materials into soap, clothing, or medicine. Much less how to get our food from the wild, or how to produce food from seed or farm animals. 45 years ago, two of my older siblings (there were 9 of us) went to live among the Native Americans in northern Ontario. At the time, there were no roads in there. No modern conveniences. Hunting/trapping was basically the livelihood. My sister and her husband lived in a small log cabin, without electricity or plumbing. Boiled water from the lake, to drink. They heated and cooked with wood fire. In winter, went skating on the lake for miles. Her husband got his pilot's license, and in summer landed on the lake on pontoons. Of course, in winter the lake was a vast ice airstrip. She came home 5 years later and taught me how to make moccasins out of elk leather her husband had tanned. How to line them with rabbit skin, and how to do intricate beadwork. She had learned from the native women, as her first baby was strapped as all the native babies, in his moss-lined cocoon, onto his board, propped up against a tree, to watch his mother as she worked. Today, that same area is vastly changed. Roads, modern lifestyles, etc. And Government money for the natives to buy their boxed macaroni dinners. They don't do what their elders did only a generation ago. Hardly anyone knows how anymore.

@@maryellen6153 Exactly. Too much of our culture has been destroyed by foreign influences

Watch the previous episode...

@@brandonrichter6910 Ahhhhh 🤦‍♂️ Thanks lol

That's what I'm hoping. It's a shame that type of canoe is only considered temporary. There should be a way to preserve it (even if using modern methods and materials).

seems this is just a paper-airplane canoe. something to enjoy temporarily.. how sad.

I have seen other wooden canoes covered on the outside with pine pitch

Dry it slowly and rub it a lot with beeswax or boiled linseed oil. You can repair cracks that develop in the drying process with pine resin. You can also dissolve the pine resin in the boiling linseed oil and butter the bark with a bunch of coats of that. I would probably also replace the twine fasteners with something a bit more... permanent.

eastern Washington maybe cover it in waterproofing sealant like what u put on a deck ??

The 700 Club should hire you as a joke writer!

Ruff haha

Your joke is pretty poplar here. Your humor really spruced up this comment section. We knew it wood (would).

And the tree "sheds" it's bark...

Those were probably a luxury item.

Lol they didn't even always have shoes. When you work a lot without them your fine. I rarely wear shoes or gloves and I do all kinds of outdoor work. I rarely get injured. When you don't have shoes or gloves, you "grow your own".

Splinters are unlikely from soft green wood.
