You won't believe this BUSHCRAFT KAYAK Build | Minimal Tools ASMR

- Опубликовано: 2 июн 2023
- One of the most valuable survival skills is being able to figure out how to use the tools and natural resources you have available. And if you need to get out on the water then a bushcraft boat is in order. This week we're using minimal hand tools and some woodworking skills to build a bushcraft skin on frame kayak with nothing but a tarp, a mora knife, a small folding saw, and some bank line. I made the kayak ribs from green oceanspray that I peeled, bent around a tree, and tied in place. After a day of drying in the sun, they held their shape and I tied them into the hoops that would form the ribs of the kayak. The kayak frame slats are made from western red cedar, split from a tree that was blown down during a storm. I used the mora knife and wedges to split off the long slats which were then shaved to size and shape before being lashed to the ribs. The paddle was also made from a large split piece of western red cedar. To make things easier I made a bushcraft vice and draw knife to help shape the pieces. For the skin I used an inexpensive tarp. The frame is quite sturdy and very light weight. Total weight of the kayak is probably no more than 15lbs as I can easily balance it in one hand with my arm extended. The tarp kayak paddles great and tracks through the water with ease. These techniques could easily be adapted to build an inexpensive skin on frame canoe. #bushcraft #kayak #asmrwoodcarving

Clay, that’s best use of the mora I’ve ever seen! This kayak build was an amazing bushcraft project. You and your family would be right at home in Canada’s North. Plenty of wilderness, wildlife, and adventure. Your boys have a great Dad to teach them too.
Thanks Dex
This is June 11th 2023. My heart is truly broken, 10 1/2 million acres, and in this era of high technology that could have been avoided altogether. They could have set the oxygen sucking bombs (they have) off above the fires, starving hundreds of thousands of acres of fire of oxygen, but they let all that pristine woodland burn down DISGUSTING Christ forever hopefully His Body of Believers will be Called HOME soon see you then. Amen
@@ralphneyala9956 those fires were deliberately set for the :agenda". there are forensic investigators that have determined that the trees are igniting from the inside out indicating some sort of Directed beam of heat rather than normal ignition sources.
That’s not bushcraft that’s art good stuff man I like it
Clay , THIS IS SIMPLY A MASTERPIECE AND A WORK OF ART !!! To take materials that you found in the woods and build this kayak is simply amazing. YOU ARE A MASTER WOODSMAN ! I've been a subscriber to your channel from quite a while now and this project is by far the best one yet. Keep cranking out these awesome videos and I'll keep watching , God bless you and your family.
Thanks Steven
Clay, I am going to definitely call you when I get into trouble while in the wilderness! You are the man!
🍻
I'm young and i have learnt allot about survival off these videos
Good to hear
Clay, the resourcefulness you demonstrate in your videos is second to none. I love how you source your materials and work them ... cool bushcraft vise and drawknife.
Glad you like them!
You are a life saver keep going people are learning from you
Very inspiring Clay, i can see you do it out of passion and the want to learn and pass your knowledge down to others and not for attention. You'll have some awesome memories you can physically pass down to your children, grandchildren also.
Great Video Sir! you are the ultimate bushcraft expert , I see everything you done to make you and your family self sustainable and taught your two sons to be the same and now you are spreading the word to everyone else to do the same. Keep up the great videos.
Glad you liked it
Well, that is a masterpiece. Very impressive structure
A+++. I had to chime in on this one. I rolled my eyes when I first heard of ASMR, but there is absolutely something to hearing and watching all of these "human at work in nature" sounds. They go back a million years Im sure. The birds are singing too. Disabled people and any stuck inside a lot can really enjoy this approach. The guy on Primitive Technology (I think that's it) never talks but has a great idea of adding details of what he is doing and thinking if you turn the captions on. I have always thought that at the core of all of the bushcraft and survival "fans" is just the simple desire to be self sufficient with the Earth again. So here is my big idea if you run out of video ideas. I would love to see someone do like you did here, spend time in the woods, and focus on Eastern Woodland Native American skills and do a Primitive Technology version with local resources. Cook some meat or fish on the fire now and then etc. Like a Kephart channel. What plants and trees do you use for what food, project, medicine etc. And how did the tribes like the Cherokee preserve foods, deal with winter, make commonly used goods etc. The early American frontiersmen could also fall into the fray. Basically just how you live the best with the most basic of simple gear. Third world guys will sharpen a piece of sheet metal with a rock and use that knife for generations...that kind of thinking. You would also be prepping our local men for a collapse of some kind. Iy amazes me that the modern world has no back up plan to the web or grid simply being hacked. As usual, keep up the excellence brother and stay safe out there.
Many thanks
So awesome. Please do more videos on survival fishing in all weather and environment conditions! You are a legend.
Clay wouldve been living good 200 or 300 years ago with al the skills he knows
True I only know how to shoot a gun and bow I know how to hunt but this dude would thrive back then lll
Lol*
The epitome of no excuses
Where would you get a tarp 200-300 years ago? Ye olde tarp shoppe?
@@Smokkedandslammed maybe a animal hide?
I would assume someone like that would be used as a tarp before plastic tarps were made
Great patience and skill! Thanks for sharing
Sweet bushcraft technique! I’m studying. It’s hard to see that a full shop could work more efficiently. You, sir, are an elegant craftsman.
Thanks 👍
Clay, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again - your bushcraft/woodcraft skills are simply amazing and a pleasure to watch you work.
In bushcraft teachings in RSA a lot of guys say If you can make a functional bow in the woods you can make anything. This vid is proof I guess of how true that is.
You are just one remarkable human. You give me hope for our future. Thank you, Clay.
😊
Absolutely amazing, great work Clay Hayes!
Happy is a man building a boat. Nice one mate!
Thank ya
Love this build. One of the best bush craft builds you've done yet. Great job Clay! I have watched it at least 8 to 10 times.
Thanks
It looks so easy when skilled craftsmen are working, and it is also very relaxing to watch.
I didn't read the headline, so at first I didn't understand what you were doing. But eventually it just got better and better, and the reception speaks for itself.
Thanks for your video, I really appreciate them. It`s so relaxing to watch.
Thanks John
Never cease to amaze me such a natural ability 👍 Sadly it is life skills and abilities that very few have anymore.
I liked this right up to the point where a plastic tarp got used to skin the kayak. It's like, " How to find your way through the wilderness with the aid of only a Garmin GPS and a pocket knife."
Beyond impressive. Well done!
Incredible build! You are right....that did blow my mind!
Great work mr. Hayes, pleasure to watch it.
Man I like your style... Just showing people what works and it's awesome 👍👍
One of the most important videos I've ever had the pleasure of viewing. Your an Ace.
Many thanks
Awesome build! I love all things archery but its nice to get away once in a while.
Looks and performs really good for a tarp! Would help alot in the right place. Great job.
A thing of beauty
It looks like it tracks too, awesome
Very creative and talented. Love your life style.
Patience ,skill, and the ability to see the potential of the available resources and the end results before you ever make the first cut is absolutely the formula for creative ingenuity. You're definitely talented dude. Never take for granted the blessing of being able to work with your hands and the vision to see the end of a project before it's started. God is good brother. I've worked my whole life with my hands and God has given me more than I could ever possibly deserve. I couldn't be happy doing anything else. Anybody can buy something and use it until they wear it out or get tired of it, but when you've got your labor and planning and design and nurture of every single step, every single, cut, nail, weld, chisel strike, file shaving, pile of sawdust, and gradually seeing it come to life. You can't buy that.
Well said
AWESOME isn't the best word but it may have to do. Keep up the fantastic lifestyle. Your family and the rest of us all benefit!
Dam dam dam. You got me. I would give my whole life,right now. To build a little cabin. And hunt. I've done it before as a kid. If you know anyone. That needs a second hand. Let me know.😊 For real.
beautiful … first time I see this tipe of approach … the cockpit entry done first … smart 😮
Amazing work of art! If ever theres an apocalypse im running to Clays house!
Words cannot express how satisfying and amazing watching all of the intricate parts coming together 🤨😲🤔✊
Simply the best....Clay, you are THE man....and I love your humility....Keep it up.....
Many thanks
Excellent build man !!!!!! Thank you for sharing.
This is awesome. Love the drawknife "jig" hack.
Clay that was an amazing job. You can really see the bow building come into play in a different way.
Awesome.
Nate
Thanks Nate
Amazing.
Their is only one word for this OUTSTANDING 👍👍😊 Many Thanks
Personal favorite! Boatbuilding, Alone skills, perfection.
Thanks Mark
A few seconds in im already impressed in how you are splitting parrallels from the tree trunk by using another hunk of tree. As im stuck in the city that sort of in-the-field simplicity doesn't even get discussed.
You, sir, are a master craftsman. Beautifully crafted!
Thanks Larry
I really appreciated how intentional you were to save your knife and did not really use it beyond getting a wedge started when possible. I think that's a great mindset of conservation of resources. Using things you make to save what you brought, as you can always make another wedge. Outstanding video, thank you sir, God bless
Thanks
Amazing build! Love all your stuff! Keep up the fire!❤🙂🔥
I have to say that I really enjoyed watching this creation from start to finish. I could see your use of tools from your bow making skills at play! The only suggestion I could add to provide the icing to the cake so to speak, would be that you carried your fishing pole with you on your crafts maiden voyage and ended the video landing a nice trout! Now that would have extended my smile to its breaking point! 😊
Shoulda thought of that!
Wow,Wow,Wow.
Just mesmerising, watching your work with only two basic tools that you didn’t make the fixed blade mora and a medium size silky saw.
Music to my eyes
Thank you
Regards
Leith

All I can say is.... Wow! Just.... Wow! Amazing!
And I thought the fishing rod was SOOO cool. Congrats on this, sir!!
Pretty awesome
Love it, that’s so cool
I enjoyed every minute on this awsome woodcraft demonstration! Impresive skills, Clay!!!
I came for the hunting but found some more entertaining things mixed in so I'm a happy camper.
This is so awesome! Looks so stable too!
Very nicely done
My uncle was a great outdoorsman and Hunter. He once followed a set of tracks into a Cave, and Killed a Train,, thanks Clay for all your stuff!
Oh wow. I was expecting to be impressed, but you my man blew that expectation out of the water. What a build!
Insanely good!
Appears to be a puzzle made of bows. Beautiful.
Interesting perspective!
Nuts. Well done.
Been off grid for almost 2 years now. Live in a standing oak forest. Wish I had the diversities !!
Maravilloso!!!
Amazing
Mighty fine 👌👌
Super!😍🤗
I love carving but with simple crafted tools
No way. So cool.
Nice work! Really great idea using the nice straight grain of that downed tree.
That is badass.
Your knowledge, skill, and creativity are a pleasure to watch Clay. You sir are a master craftsman. Thank you for sharin this one with us it's n absolute masterpiece
Many thanks
Clay, I’m trying to put myself in your place, building those satisfying but hard projects, getting blisters, cuts, and back pains.
Other RUclipsrs are spending a few BS minutes borrowing and copying other ppl contents, with annoying loud music..
Kudos to you brother, and blessings to your family!!
Thai was definitely one of the coolest builds I’ve ever done.
Thanks!
Bushcraft legend!
I built one as a kid, my cousin used it for target practice. I took off the tarp and use duct tape. Thanks for sharing.
The way you split the wood reminded so much of how the Main character in “The Happy People” makes his skies.
Great documentary
Amazing work
Wow!! You need to rename this video to "Bushcraft Kayak with only a silky saw and a mora" im highly impressed, seen a few of your vids now but this one takes the cake. subscribed
Your my favorite winner from alone. Love the way you do things
Wow, thank you!
