I have to say awesome job and thanks for taking the the time to video it for us.

[erunkiswldrnssurvival]

thanks huntermj. there are various methods of building a boat, but the flexable vine offers the best possible bend and structural strength. i have tried several different woods all were brittle or needed to be shaved down to allow bending.with the vines its cut it, bend it, cover it , and the boat is ready to use.

Pretty cool. Well done Erunk.

All I can say is WOW, and thank you for caring enough to document this.
The paddle itself is awesome. Simple and ingenious. Never would have thought about making it that way in all my living days.

i am afraid to delete any of my attachment photos because of the documentation potential that they have (you know in my older thread posts') so i wish that our attachment photo file size limits were more than 4.0 MB total...

Pretty good stuff there man.

You never cease to amaze me with the information you have and the skills you have developed. You can come up with stuff like the power bow that no one has ever heard of. This tent/boat out of grape vine is a good example, too. Keep them coming. I had to give you some rep for this. Very nice job.

Don't give up on the girls, Gene. I was a late bloomer.

Gene, sadly, we all will. If I could just sit down with dad for a couple of days and have him tell me everything just one more time. Woulda, coulda, shoulda.

the most valuable thing that we dont think about until "after the fact". thanks for that Rick.

here is a photo of the coricle after i readjusted the tent and added a more stable bottom in it and i carved a paddle out of a black walnut log.
