@@thechosenbeastdoesgames956 children worked really hard even before the industrial revolution. If you could move your hands, you made whatever handiwork was needed, if you could lift a log you went hunting or resource gathering, etc.
"Stone Ax (Some assembly required)" ... I see what you did there! Also, Andy, please keep the boat and add a floating aid on the left side (when facing from the seat, looking at the camera). There are many cultures who still use such canoes with side floats. I mean, the alternative would be getting another log-canoe and adding them side to side, but I think the floats would be easier to make since you don't need to dig into the log (with fire or tools) more than is needed to attach them to one or two thinner logs. The next step, after the canoe with side-floats, could be a raft made with lots of smaller-diameter logs tied with rope.
There are many historic coffins made from one tree stump looking like that in northern europe forest areas. Especially for bones after pyre burial or for small children.

@@moothecow7922 Yeah that's what I thought ^^ also said. It definitely has it's benefits, it's more stable, but it's unwieldy and storing it is going to be a nightmare.
I love these projects man, it's so cool seeing someone re-create early tech. I think an issue you're running into, though, is that you're just choosing any old wood. You said your supplies were limited, which is fair, but even still, I think a big part of what these projects hinge on isn't just the process of creation, but the selection and quality of the materials you use
Thicker tree, more clear intent when carving the wood, finer motor skills, and dont be afraid to be creative, people back then weren't just simple people, they had to be innovative to make things that worked. I'd really love to see more of these videos actually succeed
Victoria, Chris, you both disappoint me. Wood floats on its own, so bad Vic. The boat won't float while carrying the weight of a person if it completely fills in, so bad Chris
Im really curious about your perspective of this "adventure" youve been going on through the ages. Is it fun to learn about old techniques and technologies, and then apply them yourself? What have been some of the struggles we dont get to see on camera? How long do things like this take? did you ever expect this series to garner as much attention as it did and how did you react.
Love you and what you do I'm 13 years old and am truly inspired I've tried everything almost. I make fishing lures and flys but try to do all the videos I can and think about them constantly
@@thehyperactivesloth6824 Yeah they probably also used cars to get to the property where the tree was.. were wearing shoes they bought and didn't make... probably used matches or lighters to start the fires, not sticks, etc. It's not like they started naked. Decisions are made about where to draw lines in the work they're reproducing vs what modern resources are brought to the table.
@@adfaklsdjf yes, ik , BUTT noone thinks he walks every were... He treid to make it look like he did it with his tools... How many times did they cheat just a bit when the camera was off.
@@thehyperactivesloth6824 As many as necessary. I never felt like they were pretending they never use anything modern.. cutting the branches off the log is not the same as making the dugout. They didn't cut down the tree either. The point of these videos isn't "we did everything the hardest way possible".. it's "we reproduced what you would have to do". I'm not convinced they did use a chainsaw just from those few frames, but even if they did, we've seen Andy use power tools in other videos.. I don't think it invalidates the video. But think what you like.
it's really cool watching the wood essentially melt away in the time lapse. I'd love to make one of these at some point in the future just to say I could
@@Dockhead yeah it was a rotting dead tree, heavy with water, probably with a nasty twist that made splitting difficult, full of knots. About everything you could do wrong with a dugout, they did it right here. However it still shows how successful the dugout is as a design considering they were still able to get it to float. Personally I'd be fixing up that stone axe they broke along with making a stone adze and then finding the perfect tree for this sort of project if I had the access, Cutting down large green trees with a stone tool is basically not happening, but as you see here fire does wonders and works as the perfect primitive saw. It is likely how large canoes were made Majority of the work done with fire and only the final detail work done with stone or copper tools.
@@amefeu4259 Not as likely as you would think. Remember that entire tribes put manpower into creating these things, from the tools used to the labour of bringing them down, and pine and cedar were the preferred trees, and they would be soft enough to cut down by hand. In the cases of making canoes out of trees like black walnut or other really hard wood hardwoods, then yeah, they definitely would have, though- thick layer of clay girding the tree, burn a fire up the fall side and chip away the char to let the fire make the wedge 'cut' that axes would do otherwise.
@@KainYusanagi While I agree that tribes could and would have put significant manpower into creating canoes I'm not sure whether fire or stone tools would be the most effective assuming the char was chopped to continue to expose unburnt wood. Maybe with a large labor force direct chopping would be faster on softer trees it seems like something that would only be done when in a rush, not something done as an effective means to maintain long term production. Which if they only need a canoe every once in awhile maybe so.
yay new video!!! cant wait to see what cool stuff you make next!! Great job in advance Andy!!! and you might not care but i also live in Minnesota and want you to know that if you need more help with projects i would love to help!!!
Hey man don’t overwork yourself, looked like you really worked hard on this maybe to meet a time frame or something? Do it on your own time. Great video and great job. Keep up the great work
I was in Minnesota this summer traveling along the coast of lake superior. The group I was with went canoeing and we stopped for lunch *exactly* where you took off. Crazy.
Andy and team: I originally came to this channel just fascinated to learn the behind-the-scenes things that go on in producing stuff for our every day lives. And now that you're in this new phase of HTME I'm even more drawn in. I absolutely love and admire the commitment you all have to this project, down to using your own ceramic bowls to mix the prehistoric glue. Keep up the good work! I look forward to watching you progress through the eons.
I know this video is 4 years old and this comment will probably never be seen, but this channel and especially this project has helped me a lot with my feelings about my body. I’m just under 5 feet tall and that has always been one of the hardest things in my life, since in our modern culture being small is associated with being weak and really has no advantages. But between this project and videos in the mines I’ve started the realise how many things it IS useful to be small for… they’re just not things we actually do anymore. Thank you!
I think this is one of the most wholesome of your videos. Sure, the addition of the expert CATptain sailor and the kids adds some extra niceness for likes and comments but overall this is the project where I saw the most success to pain ratio ever. Even watching you splashing was a bit wholesome too! 😀 You all seemed more professional having talked to experienced people and applying their concepts and ideas (not that you haven't done it before, take that for granted) and it looked, maybe through edition magic that the project was way more straightforward than most without serious issues and setbacks. I always hate watching you suffer with all the problems these projects have and in the end you manage to success (even through many, many videos) and I am truly happy when you do, but for a change I liked that this one turned out so much better and easily. I consider this a complete success and I'll watch when you add stabilizers to it. You all rock! Great team! Pay my salute to the CATptain!
I think the biggest trouble is that most trees that would be large enough have already been cut down and the ones that aren't are owned and not for cutting.
I'm only 8 minutes into the video and I'm loving it and I've got to say your Mel chemistry advertisement was done so smoothly and entertaining with your niece and nephew that I didn't even notice there's an advertisement until we've got back on track that was really done nicely nice and smooth and didn't wasn't jarring and displacing like a normal commercial it was really pleasant. You're doing great.
The boat ride, in a boat they helped make, in the fog was really scenic and I guarantee it is going to be one of thier fondest memories from childhood. You are a good uncle.
Never have I seen such tenacity from someone with such little ability. It's a lesson for us all about perseverance. Do or do not, there is no try. Respect.
As a native Minnesotan, I commend your bravery in making an episode where you have to repeatedly say "booöät" for an audience which largely doesn't share our dialect.
Atzi ice man, copper tools, analease working for a project of fools, now we got a boat to row We did start the fire It's been burning since this week We started the fire Yes we lit it and we got rid of it
i love how you can see the canoe filling up with water as the first kid paddles it, then the camera cuts just before he drowns, so then you put the second kid in it; presumably he drowned too
5:55 I love the little fella chippin in. Just how I imagine it would have been in the day, kids learning by example from their fathers (or uncles). Nowadays, all my kids see of my work is me hunched over my keyboard, they have no idea what I am doing. Tried to explain it, but it just goes over their heads.
I feel like all of your videos end with "well I SORTA did it." And then you move on without perfecting the craft or at least attempting to do better, just kinda like "eh, I'm good with mediocrity."
Man, my first instinct would be to make it "wider", by adding another smaller log on one side using two struts to spread out the weight, since wood typically floats by itself. That'd help the balance, and add a little more flotation overall. I'd also take the lesson learned by making my own pottery to build up the sides by making a longer lip, firing it solo, and then seal it onto the boat via the hot pitch method so I have a waterproof barrier where I ran out of wood. Not authentic, but probably less of a flip-trap. Very cool work though! This whole series looks amazing (I'm coming to it as of today) and this is like my dream job. I love doing stuff from scratch!
I feel like the choice to commentate during the process, while still out of breath, was a great one. Like... all the numbers and shots of doing stuff were beautifully illustrative of how much effort this stuff takes, but just hearing that effort in yalls voices just makes me FEEL it on a deep, instinctual level. XP
I worked at a Boy Scout camp as a lifeguard for a few years. At one point, we had a challenge for the campers to make a "boat" with the stuff they could find around camp and race to see who made the best boat. Although some cheated and found dock foam (the stuff that makes old wooden docks float, basically looks and feels like much finer styrofoam) some of the wooden... well, basically rafts they made worked surprisingly well. Turns out stability counts for a ton in a race of makeshift boats made by teenagers. Also, pro tip, as it looks like you noticed, using an adult PFD on a child doesn't really work. Both for how they can move and for how they float, the PFD rides up really far and wouldn't keep their head above water.
I found it endearing how only the kid could fit in the canoe. it was like the whole process was there to create something just for him. he'll cherish the memory. good stuff.

I feel like all of your videos end with "well I SORTA did it." And then you move on without perfecting the craft or at least attempting to do better, just kinda like "eh, I'm good with mediocrity."
I’m absolutely loving the reset so far. Incredible work !!!!

Lazzy_pig Lazzy_pig I commented 2 secs after you!
Fourth I guess
Congrats you’re the actual first
Thats some flintstones type craftsmanship. I Love it!
Man, my first instinct would be to make it "wider", by adding another smaller log on one side using two struts to spread out the weight, since wood typically floats by itself. That'd help the balance, and add a little more flotation overall. I'd also take the lesson learned by making my own pottery to build up the sides by making a longer lip, firing it solo, and then seal it onto the boat via the hot pitch method so I have a waterproof barrier where I ran out of wood. Not authentic, but probably less of a flip-trap. Very cool work though! This whole series looks amazing (I'm coming to it as of today) and this is like my dream job. I love doing stuff from scratch!
Props to whoever scores these videos. Sounds dope.
Its so cool that you get the kids involved :) I bet they have so much fun when uncle Andy comes over
The effort was there. I’m fascinated. Great stuff.
Amazing. I loved getting to see you hang out with your family
the thing about this channel is that its never spectacular, its always good enough.
I feel like the choice to commentate during the process, while still out of breath, was a great one. Like... all the numbers and shots of doing stuff were beautifully illustrative of how much effort this stuff takes, but just hearing that effort in yalls voices just makes me FEEL it on a deep, instinctual level.

I love the figurehead on your boat, an idol to the god of magic picture boxes
I worked at a Boy Scout camp as a lifeguard for a few years. At one point, we had a challenge for the campers to make a "boat" with the stuff they could find around camp and race to see who made the best boat. Although some cheated and found dock foam (the stuff that makes old wooden docks float, basically looks and feels like much finer styrofoam) some of the wooden... well, basically rafts they made worked surprisingly well. Turns out stability counts for a ton in a race of makeshift boats made by teenagers.
Also, pro tip, as it looks like you noticed, using an adult PFD on a child doesn't really work. Both for how they can move and for how they float, the PFD rides up really far and wouldn't keep their head above water.
This Minecraft mod looks sick!
I found it endearing how only the kid could fit in the canoe. it was like the whole process was there to create something just for him. he'll cherish the memory. good stuff.
I always look forward to these episodes, thanks for making this great series!
Making planks would be a huge stepping stone and you could use it to make some bigger boats and nice shelters
Great, I love how this series is progressing!
