do you think making a skiff out of pallet planks would be doable? of course ideally with planks that havent rotted, cherry picking the best ones

10:02 Carp ??

Thanks for all the videos. The are simultaneously relaxing to watch and inspiring!

Blasphemy! You must use 2 part epoxy high build low drag ultimate space shuttle bottom paint or your boat will immediately sink! Seriously though, a brass rubbing strip on your keel would be a really good idea. You could also use aluminum which you can get at Home Depot.

Another great video, sometimes the nearest adventures are the best adventures. I was stationed at Ft Campbell in the early nineties and lived in Linton on Lake Barkley. I used to drive over the Little River everyday. One Saturday I decided to put my canoe in the river and paddle to Cadiz where my wife would pick me up. I scared my wife to death because it was well after dark by the time I paddled, waded and dragged my canoe over numerous logjams to arrive in Cadiz. I was scratched, tired and sweaty, but it was a great day; sorry honey.

Splendid video! Love your approach and your spirit of experimentation and adventure. Proudly flying one of your pennants! Keep up the great content. Thanks you!

My great grandparents built a houseboat from metal drums and wood to float and swim on the KY river. I applaud your efforts to do something similar on a smaller scale.

Yes, it covers and looks great..... at first. We recently moved into a 1940's farmhouse that prior owners used acrylic paint on EVERYTHING. Doors, trim, and cabinets, are ALL pealing and we will be stripping and repainting with a more appropriate paint. If "cheap and dirty" works for you and you don't mind painting it again, and again..... house paint does the job at a fraction of the cost. Some projects deserve a better finish while others look better with your money saved in the bank.

New sub here. Bro you have inspired me to build my first boat. Just need to finish my garage...

Try Teflon keel/skeg strip. Very common on herring/ sardine skiffs in the bay of Fundy where boats are drug up long distances.

Never painted a hull nor a wood hull but I painted the interior of my fiberglass boat and it's lasted year. My thinking if I had a wood hull I'd used house paint as scaping the ground , gravel water I doubt marine paint would fair any better.

Strange title ! Virtually every dinghy ever built can do this !😂

I wonder how good a thin strip of sheet metal wrapped over the bottom on the skeg would hold up?

We did the low budget car racing (Champcar) for several years. We painted our 1984 300ZX with house paint and a roller. It worked just fine.

You've never thought of fibreglass sheathing and then bilge stainless steel keel strips where it rubs so much on the skeg and bow?

Looks like your 12 footer is your Goldilocks boat. Not too big; not too small.

Talking house paint brings to mind that somewhere in some boat book on the shelf across this room, the author talks about doing a kind of ersatz fiberglassing with house paint and sheer window curtain material.

I have never used house paint, however I have used Rust-oleum paint. Boy did my friends make fun of me. It really did last and I was even surprised. Eventually they the test of time proved the paint. I’ve got some house paint. Must be time to build another boat. Ha ha.

I LIKE IT ,...maybe a sharks mouth on the bow Mike

Wonderful! So calm…

Kind of sad seeing that creek that color. I've been near creeks like that and they smelled awful. Too bad so much pollution.

in the words of Tommy Callahan "Stop playin with your dingy!"

What are all these trees doing in that water?

Are those shoes your own CR brand? @5:50

Multi-talent, hat off!

Beautiful eye catching lines..super filming & narration..bet Wooden Boat Magazine would love presenting this via a full write-up. Canyon , with big gratefulness, and I'll 2nd- ' for sure- Saucy

What resources would you recommend for learning to build a boat? I'm inspired by your videos and would love to build one that's good for river and coastal sailing/camping and could take 2 to 3 adults or 2 adults and 2 kids.

Nature is resilient, no matter what mankind throws at her, given time, she bounces back. I've always felt that mankind can make the planet worse for ourselves but in then end it will go on with our without us.

Looking at that dirty water and all the logs and Sticks, I bet you went over a fishing honey hole, especially since it is so hard to get to, I love your channel, I hope you do a catch and cook video sometime! Also again your videography is getting so good and well done

Fascinating - thanks for pushing your boundaries and ours into some of the other waters in the area.

How do you get a plan to make these boats

The muddy water in the beginning is high in suspended solids and silt, likely from passage through pastures and farm drainage systems. The fish breathing at the surface in this area show that there is too much organic material in the water, and the O2 content is low. When you hit the creek, the clearer water and gravel indicate a substrate which has some bedrock outcrops and is more natural. That's why it's cleaner and noticably changes the character of the river. If there is a river conservancy in your area, it may be useful to get them to look at the farms and town runoff in the turbid parts. Frequently, it just takes a little mitigation to get smaller rivers back to a healthier state. And more often than not, farmers are very interested in improving the ecosystem adjacent to their property. It makes it more productive. And it's better fishing!

Hey Google tube censors, ya'll got some catching up to do with me. I have insulted you panty waste passes many times in the last couple hours. Waiting...tick tick,tick.......?????!!!!!. Yes, I like punctuation and being censored makes my day, fkn snowflake's

do you havve any dimensions/plans anywhere i would love to build this

I really dig your channel, Sir! I'm upstream on the Cumberland in Wilson County, TN. If you ever find yourself this far up the river, say Howdy as you pass - this video earned you a bowl of beans and a few hoe cakes!

Nice explanation! It seems like you should have seen some turtles in there.

Thank you for the film of the fish especially

nice documentary of the "MUDDY ONE" I dont wanna sound like a know it all but , be careful when NOT on the lpublic lakes if I remember right KY laws on this are a bit unique in a boat/floating , its not tresspassing but a foot on the bottom of the creek IS TRESSPASSING everything in KY not documented as PUBLIC land Iis PRIVATELY OWNED land and quite likely precious to someone beware dope growin areas for traps/ or owners if you saw many clams it aint poluted the thick red mud just looks like shit Ive been up it maybe a mile or so from the ohio river end in a motorboat LONG AGO got to see an ancient dock that had steps up to an old nightclub time long past from even b4 me and i was born in 67 I dont know its poluted anymore but the crap i saw in the early 70,s exceeds all immagination to what it looks like now IF you accidently slipped in then you may have died from that bath nice vid Mike

Lord help us if you run out of creeks thanks for the ride

What type of pollution is in the Clarks River? Ag runoff? I'm only vaguely familiar with it. I'm in Central Kentucky. I've paddled much of the middle Cumberland River above and below Lake Cumberland, haven't made it down as far as LBL on the water, though.

You have the most wonderful channel!

Ha! Enjoy Tennessee. You should bring a collapsible Tenkara rod.

What an absolute beautiful boat. Well done mate.

We Tennesseeans welcome you and we are glad to see you visit. I rejoice to know your visa was approved. Bare feet are fine seeing as you are from Kentucky (and a northerner) we are just happy to know you are walking on your hind legs these days (using a SUP is easier that way) I hope your tail isn't too uncomfortable tucked into your pants like that. In any event sailing attracts enthisasts from all species and we in Tennessee are an open minded lot. Love your videos!

Are plans available for this boat?

I always enjoy your explorations , they are similar to adventures I had in my early days in canoes and later in sea kayaks. Really nice filming, keep finding these gems that are remote, but close by. Thanks!

Thank you. I will not see chemicals in the water until it is too late ❤

Do you carry protection? Personally I would be worried about getting attacked by a hog, I’ve seen many hog hunting videos where attacks happen

Wow Rover your videos are getting so good, great intro and editing, also you are going hard with the “survivor man” style shots and I know that requires a ton of tedious backtracking, thank you for sharing your explorations and all of your hard work. Ps I was hoping after you spotted the wild boar that the next scene would be of you by a campfire cracking a beer with wild bacon cooking lol. And have you looked into Inflatable Kayaks ? Well I guess you did mention the paddle board kayak seat. Thanks 🙏
