Sewing Gunwale Lashings on a Birchbark Canoe
zhlédnutí 579Před 5 měsíci
Birchbark canoe making, how to lash gunwales with spruce roots. This would be episode 4.5 between (4 and 5) of my other videos in this 15 footer bark canoe series. I had lost this footage from July 2022 ... I finally recovered it, and managed to edit it. If this works, it will be my first successful upload in 4K format... which is pretty cool. I go into excessive detail on how I lash my gunwale...
Spruce bark watertight basket / container
zhlédnutí 292Před 5 měsíci
Filmed in May 2018, testing out a different way to fold bark to create a watertight container. The shape idea comes from Mors Kochanski's book bushcraft, page 61. The author mentions this container can be made with fresh ''green barks'' of spruce, aspen and pine. Water can be boiled in a larger container similar as this one, by adding hot rocks.
Spruce roots

Collecting spruce roots, and then boiling and splitting them. This is how I prepare my roots for birchbark canoe building or birchbark basketry. Filmed in mid-May 2023, I did not get around to posting this until now.... Spruce roots ! Always need more spruce roots !

So that's what the fox says
@Noradic Woodsman What you do if some spots on roots are very sticky? Thanks!
I think it sees you
Where I used to live - in a cottage right out on its own 2 miles from the village - we used to have them playing in the garden, along with Badgers and Deer!
Why don’t you use a cooping saw or jig saw or any of the others that would work for this particular project
Bonjour combien tu le venderai un rouleau comme celui que tu viens de récupérer ?
Tres bonne question ! Un rouleau d'ecorce d'hiver comme ca ce serait assez dispendieux. Je ne vend pas de rouleau pour le moment, il faudrait que je sois proche pour le vendre en personne.
@@NomadicWoodsman oui biensur, merci.
Legal for me in Manitoba (Metis). Although, I don't think I can make a CZcams video on it. I might make a buck, probably less. That will not do. I could probably do it for someone else though.
Thanks for trying the experiment
No problem thanks
What does the fox say 🦊
Shelter makes no sense !!
Thanks I have chickens and wanted to make sure that it was a fox like I suspected trying to get into their house at night
Soooooo cute!
Great video! I actually found this as I’m going to be hot tent camping in Quebec this winter! Just wondering if you had to get any special passes or permission to be hot tent camping, or is it included in regular winter camping booking? It’s not aloud yet out here on the west coast so just wanna make sure I’m following the Quebec rules®s!
Ahhh now i know what scared the sh** out of me on my way home 😂
Really interesting ❤
Glad you enjoyed it
I’m in Ayers Cliff where are you? I messaged you on insta
Hey sorry i don't check instagram often ! I used to live in Saguenay, but now I am in Cold Lake, Alberta.
... GIMME THE FLUFFY FOXY DOGGY!
ㄱㅇㅇ
imo, the Avian one look much better and have a much greater finish... even if smaller
Excellent video!
thank you
How to your store it until you are ready to build?
Rolled and then place it in a cool dry place. I will have the roll in a corner of the garage or on a shelf. Away from the sun and away from the rain. It can stay there for months or years. Then pour lots of water and hot water on it when you unroll it on your building platform bed.
As far as using different animal fats, be careful about bear fat. Bears are cannibals and can smell bear fat miles away. Not the kind of company you want in a canoe camp. Love your videos by the way.
thats what ate my chickens:(
I live about as far away from these woodlands as anyone can, I will never build or own a birchbark canoe but I love this video ! Southern Idaho, US averages about 10" of precipitation. It's dry here. I'm working on making a fiberglass canoe shell to more appear like a bark canoe. Color is good and the guy who made it used black latex caulking over fake seams. It's so beautiful to watch and listen to a real birchbark is being made !
Thank you for helping me identify the sound I heard tonight. It's wonderful to confirm that I have singing red foxes as beloved neighbors.
Wonderful!
Gorgeous work brother. How did you create the geese and snowflakes on the sides? Peace to you from Alaska!
check out my more recent video on scraping winter bark designs on the canoe. The bark is gathered before the leaves come out, then when you scrape off that thin layer, it gives you the 2 different colour tones for the designs. Cheers !
Man that's odd .. I thought I had watched all your videos, but somehow missed this one, which is perfect timing for my next step. You did real well with your very first canoe. Now that you have more experience do you believe the stringers would of been needed while just setting the ribs in place ?
…what does the fox say…?
The same noise I heard , now I will sleep
Get on line and find a well made crooked knife. They are made for this work.
I realize this video was posted 7 years ago, but you just confirmed the animal I guessed I was hearing, thanks 😊
You bet! I was lucky to capture this footage back then ! thanks for your comment. Have a good day, Steve
No criticism, just a point. The word gunwale is properly pronounced "gunnel" Great video !
Great looking work and Canoe Steve .. I can appreciate your work much more now that I'm making my own !! Can you try to explain how the decorative lashing on the Bow end is started and finished ? I seen how you tucked in your root tip under the lashing.
Anyone know if pine or other tree sap works just as well?
If you can find big clumps of it and gather a coffee can of pine sap, i would give it a try ! It will likely work well.
This is my next step Steve .. Setting my stem pieces in place, which is a bit intimidating !! Wish me luck ! You can be quite proud of that work .. Only when you try making any BB Canoe can you appreciate the effort that went into it.
Small steps, one at a time ! Keep that progress going. It is the coolest thing to see your canoe take shape !
@@NomadicWoodsman Your exactly right .. Small steps, and one at a time. It is quite something to see something made from all Natural materials come to life. I could send you a few photos of what I came up with, if your interested ? Just get François to send me your email contact, I'd be happy to send some.

Hello!! You're camping in the place in my head I go to when I chill out!! I'm so envious
Ótimo trabalho 🇧🇷

Awesome, you deserve way more subscribers!
Wow, thanks!
Man you were a young lad there Steve !! At this time last year I was still looking for suitable Bark .. Two of my BB Canoe guides in the same Canoe !!
I heard this on patrol duty in a German Military base and I was scared
Foxes barking: WOAGH
thats very adorable but also scary
Arf! Arf! Arrrrfaaaarffafafaaf...
Love that Butterfly Stitch .. I'm definitely going to add some of that look !
I've been corresponding with your friend François, which has been great help answering my questions, just like you have done for me, and this is the style of lashing he must of been talking about when he was saying that you don't need to insert the root end in between the inwale/outwale.
That would be correct. This is how Francois has shown me ... and how i believe he does them. Works very well. That is awesome, Francois is a great guy, definitely a true mentor in every sense of the word. Being i'm in Alberta, I miss chatting with him and spending time with him ! Cheers, Steve
@@NomadicWoodsman I tried it out today, but found it hard working from the inside of the Canoe towards the outside .. Can't see what I'm doing. I'm going to try using a nail knot to lock my roots, and see how that works. Yes François has been very helpful and so have you Steve. Thanks
On dirais mes omelettes ! loolll ! Merci beaucoup pour la video !! une bonne et belle video a la quebecoise
Merci ! Ca fait la job comme omelette ! haha bonne journee et bonne saison de cueillette ! Steve
Very beautiful and perfect moose
