DUGOUT CANOE BUILD - Timelapse, by Outbackmike

One full-time year of canoe building condensed into eight minutes. I built this canoe for a 1500km solo expedition up Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, surviving completely off the land and sea. You can buy the book about it here;

It's the platinum edition! I like to imagine someone hundreds of years ago in history finding that canoe, and how excited they'd be using it. 🌴

Now you see why the birch bark canoe, was so revolutionary! Gota hand it to you for sticking it out, & not quitting! Can't fathom doing that without modern day equipment!

[@thomasjones4893]

I find it amazing that Aboriginal, Native Americans and Polynesians could do this without modern metal welding and tool crafting. Really awesome work!

[@chrispalmer1255]

And did/do it way better

[@tyrrant1374]

Modern tools just save you time. Its wood you can carve it if you have patience

[@MrEmiosk]

They usually burned/charred away the wood they wanted to remove, only the finishing touches was done by hand with tools. Stone tools wittle at wood pretty good, and I do not mean sharp flint but to the layman's eye would look blunt and ineffective for the task. Just to give an example a stone axe (they don't look like they could compare at all to iron axes) requires about 3 times the swings to do the same task iron axe would. So it's not terribly difficult.

[@teeanahera8949]

Aborigines usually made their canoes out of bark, few tools required.

[@atherisGAY]

They also built boats from leather in the polar region!

[@jacplacek]

Do what you love, and love what you do - sums up this guy! What great determination on such a large project. Hats off to you dude!

Simplesmente incrível

[@joeborowy5794]

Very well made kayak with some really nice features. A value for what you get. The grandson has already caught some nice fish from it.

[@oldsagerat]

I tried doing this forty plus years ago. I found this perfect cottonwood log, already dry. I used an antique adze and used fire to my advantage when I could. It weighed a ton ! I finally got it into a local pond and jumped in. I had evidently made it off center. It got accidentally burned in a brush fire. No loss.

[@fishingthewild8542]

Finally getting the attention it deserves!

[@davidvinson4681]

Only one thing you can say" you the man" Beautiful job

[@SimonMac]

Wow! After watching "Swiss Family Robinson" as a kid I had this desire to build a canoe from a log; For some reason that desire lingered - thank you for finally curing me of it :)

[@Arbutuscoveretreat]

Wow…incredible…I love seeing lost arts coming back to life…great job, inspirational!

[@zackzack9341]

I agree, I have never thought the people who would hallow out a log and use it as a boat used gas powered chain saws but I like how the lost art of doing so is coming back.

[@westace8056]

I love watching you work. You just keep getting better at it. And I love the view. 😊

[@LyThiHoa1987]

You are so smart and creative With 2 wings on both sides, it helps keep the canoe balanced when moving. You have succeeded, congratulations.

[@redfinpaladin]

Absolutely incredible but I also liked how he used a chain saw but then also made a bow for a drill instead using an electric one lol

I meet Mike and his creation yesterday 20/7/21 just inside the mouth of the Bloomfield river up in FNQ. I was blown away by this Man and his creation. Now that I have watched this video, I am stunned at his vision, talent and determination. I heard you made it to Cooktown today Mike? I went down to the river to say hello but couldn't see you. All the very best with your journey. You are truly an inspiration.
