Birch bark canoe
zenmonkeyman:
I'm only 15 minutes into this birch bark canoe buildalong filmed in 1971 on a Cree reserve north of Montreal. It's an hour long and it's incredible! Just had to pause and share:

Now THAT. Was an hour well-spent. Cesar was a man of amazing skill, and I think I'm going to have to ditch you chumps and dedicate my life to the "primitivecanoe.com" forum for a while. >:D LOL!!! Throughout the movie, I'm thinking to myself, "I can do this"... "I can do that"... Then Cesar started splitting cedar planks with a jacknife until he had strips about 8' long, 6" wide, and 1/8th" thick. :o You have to see it to believe it. Oh, and I do believe the race will be on to make spruce root handle wraps!!!
