Very cool Ben! You were cracking me up during this video, "who's going to carry the boats" got me. Can't wait to see the next phase!

In the future it might be worth lap joining saplings for the gunnels, so you don’t have to keep trying to split logs. If you wanted to try a completely bushcraft kayak you could use birchbark or sealskin and lash it with spruce roots, then seal it with pitch. Cool stuff! I’ve been wanting to try something like this for a while!

I have a video suggestion you should make a fish or crab trap and see what you get

[@NachtCaraticus]

Holy shit, that's so much simpler than I expected it to be! The secret ingredients seem to be elbow grease, determination, and the settler's tool (honorary mention to the chainsaw because you got unlucky with the wood type LOL)

When I was younger, I read a book by Ben Hunt about Native woodcraft. He built a canoe using saplings, that he steamed in a 50 gallon drum on a stone fire pit. He could also build toboggans and sleds that way. You might check that out too. Nice kayak btw. Skal

[@Benjamin.stevens]

Very cool. I’ll check it out!
