Billy, this is the way I was taught, by a man who learned from a voyager. We worked the root a little different. We rake the root over a pole to make a three strand twine. The twine gets hand rubbed with pine and cedar resin softened with turpentine. We paint the whole thing with hot clear resin, and turpentine.

very interesting. Huge advantage if you know how to do this. You can always get out of the bush no matter what.

@knucker4931 10 лет назад

Very good indeed! Ever since reading the voyage of the ant, bark canoes have fascinated me. Thanks, Al

@knucker4931 10 лет назад

Thanks. I'm surprised you've not read it, you're in for a treat when you do. The Voyage of the Ant by James Dina at Stackpole Books. ISBN 0-8117-2302-X Have a good one yourself! Al

That is a lost art, very Educational. With the clothing it is like taking a glimpse back in time (minus the wrist watch and the van lol)

@jimf1964 5 лет назад

That was seriously awesome. Honestly I'm pretty surprised the bark doesn't split along the grain, and let you fall through. Obviously the trip you took, proves that wrong. I'll really have to watch more of your channel 🙂🙂

This was almost euphoric to watch. Thanks for sharing this

@jimnorlem6802 10 лет назад

This was one of the most fascinating I have ever seen. It is amazing to see a canoe be built from the tree up. I just really enjoyed this video , to watch history. Thanks ever so much for taking the time to video this and edit and post it. Thanks very much.

@thebirchlife6287 7 лет назад

I had to scroll down to find out the tree was going to be cut by a logger at some point ... From what i have seen Billy you are not in the the habit of cutting down live trees for fun and thats important . Great videos !!

@BillyRiouxAdventurer 7 лет назад

Thank you so much for taking the time to watch the video in order to understand the whole process. Yes, indeed, this tree was going to be cut by a logger.

@DarrenCharron 9 лет назад

Great Video! Thank you for sharing I might just have to give it a try and build a canoe over here in Riding Mountain area of Manitoba. I bet it was a awesome adventure on the water and camping out.

I have build a canvas canoe looked like yours. It was a good learning practice for me. Of course it was impossible to stay upright. I had to put so much ballast. Second canoe was much better. Trail and error is the best way to learn for some of us I guest.

@toddweller 10 лет назад

That was awesome Billy!

@magicforest71 6 лет назад

Thanks for sharing! Great job! Very interesting to see your work with spruce. Since birch is the best material, there isn't many videos of spruce-canoebuilding. But I gather your canoe didn't float very well, since you chose not to show how it worked in water. Don't feel bad about that. I'm sure you have drawn valuable conclusions from it. We would love to hear what you learned, and hope that you post another video that shows how both of your canoes works in water, and your analysis of what one might do differently.

@walterpalmer2749 8 лет назад

Rudimentary perhaps, but beautifully executed and highly effective. Wonderful.

@j.danaclark89 7 лет назад

Very cool! I didn't know that you can make a canoe like that.

@BillyRiouxAdventurer 7 лет назад

There is so much we can do with a bit of creativity. Thanks!

@chasingwaves11 9 лет назад

Very nicely done ! I love when people make things the old fashion way and What nature can give us to build some thing so amazing . I was waiting for the part when you had to fix some of the holes , i was thinking are they going to use tree sap to glue things up HMMMM well you fooled me again guys very nice job ! .

@soonerpgh 8 лет назад

Hey, Billy! Love your videos. It's obvious you have a lot of fun with them. After watching this one I have to ask, have you ever attempted a dugout canoe? Never mind. I just found the video. Watching it next. ;-)

@JustAskingAndCurios 9 лет назад

Interesting....surprised that raw hide wasn't used for 'stitching' the seams. Good job.

@krisvq 5 лет назад

Cool stuff.. maybe shorter shots of trying to tie nots and better shots of the process...

@bibleprophecy1st 8 лет назад

That bark is so much heavier then birch they had to put those pitifully skinny ribs in it with no decent framing, or any planking in the bottom just to make it light enough to carry. It may take twice as long to make a brich bark canoe, but the end result is a much better canoe.

@billcarney5449 4 года назад

Check out “Cesar’s Bark Canoe” by the National Film Board of Canada. The only sound is the mosquitos and Cesar sucking on his pipe.

@timbothegreat69 9 лет назад

Great video. Thanks for sharing. I noticed you sealed the canoe with spruce gum, charcoal and "bear grease". Is that like grease from a bear?

@tuvoca825 9 лет назад

Without birch bark. That's cool!

Bill dans quelle quoin etais tu pour construire ce beau bateaux??? J'aimerais vraiment pouvoir le voir en vrai! Merci, Adam

@topbrasstv8867 4 года назад

Its unfortunate that the tree had to fall to make the canoe, but then again stripping the bark while keeping the tree alive is a very gentle and difficult process.

@mathieurichard3394 9 лет назад

Salut Billy, tes dans quel coin pour avoir du beau bois de même?

@sethmitchell2176 7 лет назад

You should use birch bark, save the spruce for waterproofing.

@niutocanoa7347 9 лет назад

Thank´s for vídeo, amazing! A question: what wood is this?

@steveshieler5789 8 лет назад

How did they get the log out of the middle without damage?

@GoldiRockRecords 8 лет назад

Any legitimate reason we see you do all that work, carry it to the water, and never see you get in and paddle?

@userer4579 4 года назад

Probably because the hull was so misshapen that the boat handled poorly if they could keep it upright at all.

@alessandrociceri331 6 лет назад

Très jolie vidéo mais étais-ce nécessaire d'abattre un si bel arbre que pour un peu d'écorce ?

@BillyRiouxAdventurer 6 лет назад

L'arbre allait être coupé par une compagnie forestière...

@frankblangeard8865 9 лет назад

Shows him putting the canoe in the water at the end but it doesn't show him getting into it. Guess why?

@LeighRobinsonBushcraft 5 лет назад

I noticed that too. Because it was badly built. Here is a real canoe build ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VRFCxxAKafc.html

@josephpilon1576 9 лет назад

What was it that you were adding to the seems and cracks ne'er the end of the build?

@carmelpule6954 9 лет назад

It is interesting what may be done from mother's nature raw materials. The mathematics of such design is interesting, It is not possible to make a complex curve from a flat sheet as only cones and cylinders many be formed from a flat sheet. The wider the canoe the more difficult it becomes as basically the base is a sinusoidal form and when the flat sheet is folded around it there will be pleats near the gunwales and so folds and darts need to be introduced so that the bark will fit the perimeter of the gunwales. Making a narrow canoe will ease this "geometry" if one whole sheet is used, but a wider canoe would need more folds to get rid of the creases near the gunwales. I feel this canoe is unstable and needs ballast to hold it right, unless an outrigger is meant to be fitted. The workmanship is good showing all the ideas that our forefathers used with the little they had. Nice video, It is self explaining .

@AaronHendu 7 лет назад

So is birch bark preferable to spruce if available? Also, what is bear grease? Is is created from bear fat, or some other part?

@BillyRiouxAdventurer 7 лет назад

Birch bark is way stronger than spruce because of the direction of the grain. Bear grease is bear melted fat. Thanks for watching!

@AaronHendu 7 лет назад

Thanks very much for the video and the reply! I have been wanting to build something this summer, not a bark canoe necessarily, something smaller...but I would like to build a traditional birch bark canoe one day, with a few friends or something hopefully, and take it for a long trip somewhere...would be cool to do a great length of the St Lawrence. I used to do a lot of canoe when I was younger, longest trips were usually around 3-4 full days of paddling though, and fairly calm most of the time. I did shoot a 12' dam though, and some fairly long stretches of rapids, and got fairly good. To this day have never tipped lol I literally was forced to read all sorts of canoeing books by my Dad before we went out, so when he shouted commands at me I knew what to do...now I can handle a canoe real well, playing in the eddies in rapids and also got some experience in a kayak last summer. I still largely prefer the canoe to a kayak though, the extra space for gear and to move, and I am not fond of paddle style in a kayak, even if it's more efficient...anyway...I am just rambling...I guess I just wanted to say I love canoeing and hope to actually build something like this some day soon!
