I've got some old plans fron some of Cooks journals that are catamarans that were built by the Samoans and Tahitians. Cook made exact measurments of these in the 1700's and these are astonishingly beautiful craft

Thats to speed things up for the viewer, would you rather see him chop at it with an axe for hours on end? It's do-able with an axe (But take an extremely long time) but faster with a chainsaw. ~Frosty.
@BlackFly1988 I would make a chainsaw with a piece of wood, then use said chainsaw to make a canoe. Either that or just go to the canoe tree and pick a nice ripe one.
That prety much sums up my opinion, yes. Just as them trying to convince you to perform a sacrifice would be wrong, you trying to impose your will on them is equeally as wrong. Different cultures have different social rules, just because they don't agree with our western sensibilities it doesn't make them any more or less wrong.
good point. still, it starts with chainsaws and t-shirts, and before you know it they're buying the canoe from wal-mart and eating at sizzler... no offense to sizzler, that shits tasty.
they have said they can make a canoe out of this tree in just a day *pulls out a chainsaw* well shit if i had a chainsaw and an Axe im sure i could do it too.
Ain't there more 2 GOrillaz than just music ? Couldn't that actually B the reason Y they're that awesome ? Besides, they live on an island now, island-beach-water-canoe ... no ? I think it makes some sense.
That is one skinny canoe, they probably paid those guys to build it, so they got by with the quickest thing they could make and still be called a canoe.
im suprised Murdoc sent us here. i wonder if he even likes canoes. im not questioning the Almighty Mudzy, because i WORSHIP him, but r canoes really his style?
Actually Asians tend to have very nice neighborhoods. But a drive through any other non white neighborhood proves my point. A neighborhood is the quickest way to find out how a race really feels about the environment.
Mate u obviously no nothing about the Samoan people. 30lbs yeah right thse guys are huge and heavy boned people. They have babies which are 8 kgs at birth. You dont mess with them.
That isn't my point and you know it. It's not all that long ago we believed that having human slaves was a good idea. I disagree and i don't like the idea of slavery no matter who it's by but i find the concept of imposing our moral code on other people is just as abhorrent. As for the sacrifice and cannibalism, both are ritual acts with special "religious" significance. We westerners have done things just as "bad" and worse for our religion before now. Just leave these people be.
Interesting: the primitive, hunter-gatherer chainsaws look just like modern ones!
gotta respect the ppl the still live like this, it really is amazing
you sir, are a gentleman and a scholar.
3:15 Mears mastering the force there.
This is awesome. Samon culture is really well structured.
I've got some old plans fron some of Cooks journals that are catamarans that were built by the Samoans and Tahitians. Cook made exact measurments of these in the 1700's and these are astonishingly beautiful craft
Anyone know where I could find full episodes of anything this guy does? I just discovered these vids, and I really like his presentation style.
Murdoc :)
That rope is pretty cool.
0:40... The overseer sounds like my wife. LOLOLOLOL!!!
interesting, Thanks Murdoc!
freakin hilarious! I just hope mine doesn't walk in the room while I'm writing this!
"Overseer"
Kind of like American construction crews.
3 watching and the new guy working.
nice one ray very helpful :)

i like ray too murdoc!
I think Murdoc wants us to populate the Plastic Beach. Either than or send supplies on our canoes. . .
go to veoh and type in ray mears...it has all his episodes
where can i download this video...i need it for a project...will site where i find it...plz help!
very interesting
damn that canoe is so narrow, but i guess if thats how big the trees are there what can you do
Cool pants
the old guy looks like my grandfather =]
MUY INTERESANTE,
Yes
@dhom100 hmmm...the only thing that would differ, that they would use a stone axe to carve it all out, which would take longer
Take one branch from each tree, to minimise harm inflicted? Maybe they should try that next time they build a canoe.
Great!!!
Now I can go to Plastic Beach... or die trying...
:D
@MilesB1975 YOU CARVED A CHAIN SAW OUT OF A DEAD TREE USING A CANOE?
that canoe is child's play compared to the canoes I've seen in Micronesia
Yeah, that's a kids canoe, pretty cool.
Thats to speed things up for the viewer, would you rather see him chop at it with an axe for hours on end?
It's do-able with an axe (But take an extremely long time) but faster with a chainsaw.
~Frosty.
Extreme survival my ass that guy's packing a chainsaw!
Murdoc I LOVE YOU BUT DAMN IT
that chainsaw is probably the great thing they have in the tribe it probably holy or some shit , loloololololoL
hehe i LOL when i saw d chainsaw coming in my mind i was like..... would this get bloody? or have zombies in it?
"The guys here reckon they cna carve it out in just one day" *Starts up chainsaw* - Well no shit ...
@BlackFly1988 I would make a chainsaw with a piece of wood, then use said chainsaw to make a canoe.
Either that or just go to the canoe tree and pick a nice ripe one.
Don't let 2D see this, he might escape.
What does Murdoc do??
LOL
we hear you brother
I figured out why murdoc sent us here, its so we can learn how to build a canoe so we can all sail to plastic beach!
what if they chopped too hard and the canoe wrecks?
That prety much sums up my opinion, yes.
Just as them trying to convince you to perform a sacrifice would be wrong, you trying to impose your will on them is equeally as wrong.

good point.
still, it starts with chainsaws and t-shirts, and before you know it they're buying the canoe from wal-mart and eating at sizzler...
no offense to sizzler, that shits tasty.
@MilesB1975 is your dad chuck norris?
they should have 2 outriggers
and that doesnt look stable
they need a fatter tree so you can actully sit in it
sizzler is damn tasty....maybe if the walmart bit could be skipped I think everyone could be winners.
The chainsaw bit was kinda funny although really outta place...Okay Murdoc, we got a canoe...now what?
they have said they can make a canoe out of this tree in just a day *pulls out a chainsaw* well shit if i had a chainsaw and an Axe im sure i could do it too.
I finally tracked and killed murdoc with the skills I have obtained by Mr. Ray Mears, he won't be sending any one else!!!! Thumbs up I your happy!!!!
Who Is Murlock!? : P
1:58 TAIL!!!
I wonder if ancient cars exist
Murdoc sent me :P
Murdoooooc damn yoooooooooou!
Murdoc sent me.
@jazmyneb Ohhh I knew that. Just no idea what it had to do with this vid. But I do now =D
mordoc is a god, its shown on Sea lab its a cartoon haha
they probly have some sort of axe they've made but your not gunna use it if you have a chainsaw...
I would just use a bigger tree..then theres no need for an out-rigger
I'm here because Murdoc told me to come here. I'm a tad confused, but....okay.
The Aztecs
Ain't there more 2 GOrillaz than just music ? Couldn't that actually B the reason Y they're that awesome ?
Besides, they live on an island now, island-beach-water-canoe ... no ? I think it makes some sense.
tisk tisk, where are their safety glasses
MURDOC SENT US >:C
I wonder if anybody got any splinters
That is one skinny canoe, they probably paid those guys to build it, so they got by with the quickest thing they could make and still be called a canoe.
they cheated a little using a chain saw. I love seeing how everything is done in the old days.
murdoc leads me to strange places XD
There is no way that canoe can accommodate hamburger cultures.
im suprised Murdoc sent us here. i wonder if he even likes canoes. im not questioning the Almighty Mudzy, because i WORSHIP him, but r canoes really his style?
Murdoc Niccals sent me
3:31 seriously.
where the fuck did they get a chainsaw
his shorts are amazingly short. are his legs shaved? this is disturbing haha
Got murdoc rolled?0_O
Where's the hurry, i think they have time enough..
eggs the sea and a canoe...
Who the hell is murdoc? :S
LOL!
haha me too xD
Actually Asians tend to have very nice neighborhoods. But a drive through any other non white neighborhood proves my point.
A neighborhood is the quickest way to find out how a race really feels about the environment.
why did murdoc send me here
Haha the chain saw wasn't that primitive.
@mead7118 White boy gave it to them. Murdoc sent me BTW.
murdoc, give me back my life!!!!
sounds like can no not anoe LOL
lets cut down the tree. Guys get some machetes!
motor saw what a heck?
I don't trust that canoe! Haha!
That's Nothing... the other day I carved a Chainsaw out of a dead tree using a Canoe!
Amateurs!
So you're not against human sacrifice, human slavery, or human cannibalism as long as it's not practiced by "westernized" people?
Ha, his job is to watch and NOT join in, look at his face poor guy, just can't hold back can he
Why murdoc, why, what does this have to do with music
Mate u obviously no nothing about the Samoan people. 30lbs yeah right thse guys are huge and heavy boned people. They have babies which are 8 kgs at birth.
You dont mess with them.
WHO THE F*CK IS MURDOC?!?
How to make a canoe, first find a group of indigenous
That isn't my point and you know it. It's not all that long ago we believed that having human slaves was a good idea. I disagree and i don't like the idea of slavery no matter who it's by but i find the concept of imposing our moral code on other people is just as abhorrent.

Just leave these people be.
haha
murdoc :P
