  • One of the most valuable survival skills is being able to figure out how to use the tools and natural resources you have available. And if you need to get out on the water then a bushcraft boat is in order. This week we're using minimal hand tools and some woodworking skills to build a bushcraft skin on frame kayak with nothing but a tarp, a mora knife, a small folding saw, and some bank line. I made the kayak ribs from green oceanspray that I peeled, bent around a tree, and tied in place. After a day of drying in the sun, they held their shape and I tied them into the hoops that would form the ribs of the kayak. The kayak frame slats are made from western red cedar, split from a tree that was blown down during a storm. I used the mora knife and wedges to split off the long slats which were then shaved to size and shape before being lashed to the ribs. The paddle was also made from a large split piece of western red cedar. To make things easier I made a bushcraft vice and draw knife to help shape the pieces. For the skin I used an inexpensive tarp. The frame is quite sturdy and very light weight. Total weight of the kayak is probably no more than 15lbs as I can easily balance it in one hand with my arm extended. The tarp kayak paddles great and tracks through the water with ease. These techniques could easily be adapted to build an inexpensive skin on frame canoe. #bushcraft #kayak #asmrwoodcarving

    Clay, that’s best use of the mora I’ve ever seen! This kayak build was an amazing bushcraft project. You and your family would be right at home in Canada’s North. Plenty of wilderness, wildlife, and adventure. Your boys have a great Dad to teach them too.

      This is June 11th 2023. My heart is truly broken, 10 1/2 million acres, and in this era of high technology that could have been avoided altogether. They could have set the oxygen sucking bombs (they have) off above the fires, starving hundreds of thousands of acres of fire of oxygen, but they let all that pristine woodland burn down DISGUSTING Christ forever hopefully His Body of Believers will be Called HOME soon see you then. Amen

    A+++. I had to chime in on this one. I rolled my eyes when I first heard of ASMR, but there is absolutely something to hearing and watching all of these "human at work in nature" sounds. They go back a million years Im sure. The birds are singing too. Disabled people and any stuck inside a lot can really enjoy this approach. The guy on Primitive Technology (I think that's it) never talks but has a great idea of adding details of what he is doing and thinking if you turn the captions on. I have always thought that at the core of all of the bushcraft and survival "fans" is just the simple desire to be self sufficient with the Earth again. So here is my big idea if you run out of video ideas. I would love to see someone do like you did here, spend time in the woods, and focus on Eastern Woodland Native American skills and do a Primitive Technology version with local resources. Cook some meat or fish on the fire now and then etc. Like a Kephart channel. What plants and trees do you use for what food, project, medicine etc. And how did the tribes like the Cherokee preserve foods, deal with winter, make commonly used goods etc. The early American frontiersmen could also fall into the fray. Basically just how you live the best with the most basic of simple gear. Third world guys will sharpen a piece of sheet metal with a rock and use that knife for generations...that kind of thinking. You would also be prepping our local men for a collapse of some kind. Iy amazes me that the modern world has no back up plan to the web or grid simply being hacked. As usual, keep up the excellence brother and stay safe out there.

    Patience ,skill, and the ability to see the potential of the available resources and the end results before you ever make the first cut is absolutely the formula for creative ingenuity. You're definitely talented dude. Never take for granted the blessing of being able to work with your hands and the vision to see the end of a project before it's started. God is good brother. I've worked my whole life with my hands and God has given me more than I could ever possibly deserve. I couldn't be happy doing anything else. Anybody can buy something and use it until they wear it out or get tired of it, but when you've got your labor and planning and design and nurture of every single step, every single, cut, nail, weld, chisel strike, file shaving, pile of sawdust, and gradually seeing it come to life. You can't buy that.

    It is easy to see in your lines how traditional Inuit kayaks were built with bone and driftwood. Their fasteners were hide and animal tissue, where yours are modern string. They used knives, wedges, and maybe a carpenter's handsaw (after contact), but you both achieved the same result. Had I been putting on the skin, I'd have doubled the tarp instead of folding so much over at the top. But, you are the craftsman and I am the observer. Good luck on the next project!
