    I built a raft for almost two weeks. Could someone give me some pointers?

    Well - a little bit about what you spent your two weeks doing - materials used, tools used success of your efforts would be useful. Knowing the resources in your area would also help. Me telling you to use bamboo if it is not available in your area would be of little use to you.

    Depends on what kind of raft you want and where you plan on taking it. A coracle raft (sp?) is pretty easy to make. Basically, some sapling arranged in a donut shape and a tarp is wrapped around and tied off. Supposedly there isn't as much control on these and you wouldn't want to take it down any rapids, but it'll float. This one took about 30 minutes with one person working, but we didn't put it in any water.
