Sewing Gunwale Lashings on a Birchbark Canoe
Просмотров 5334 месяца назад
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
Просмотров 2784 месяца назад
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.

How to flock Canada Goose decoy tails
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…?
Fox is a cat dog hybrid😂
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.

Exactement !!
Hello!! You're camping in the place in my head I go to when I chill out!! I'm so envious
Ótimo trabalho 🇧🇷
Dehydration speed run
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
This can be possible what i hear middle of the night (right now) im so confused but the sound in my yard wasnt like this sound, it was way scarier and demonic and deeper
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
Nicely done. Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
could of skipped the first 20 seconds fr
Hadn't seen this video Steve .. Did you ever try rubbing a candle on the roots ... I just tried that for practice and it worked quite well. This is my next step sewing in the side panels.
You would use the wax to help the root slide through the tighter hole ? That is a good idea, i had not thought of that ! Cheers, Steve
@@NomadicWoodsman Yes exactly Steve .. You just rub a bit on, which seems to help when the root start drying up. I had read this somewhere in my research. Another little tip that helped me with pushing the root tip through the same hole twice, was to leave my awl tip visible, then kind of push the root tip against the awl tip while backing it out of the hole and the root would fallow the awl. Hope this helps my friend.
Merci pour ce partage, quel travail ! Pourriez-vous préciser pourquoi on ne peut pas faire de dessin avec l'écorce d'été svp ? Quelles sont les différences entre les 2 ? Merci et bravo.
L'ecorce d'ete n'a pas cette couche mince rougeatre qu'on peut gratter pour donner les 2 differentes couleurs. Desoler pour le manque d'accent mon clavier est anglophone. L'ecorce d'ete a une couleur plus jaunatre et celle d'hiver est comme plus rougeatre. Vous pouvez regarder ma derniere video ou je gratte l'ecorce sur le canot. Voyez le morceau d'ecorce d'ete en dessous de celui d'hiver. C'est difficile a expliquer ! En esperant que cela repondre, bonne journee, Steve
@@NomadicWoodsman Merci c'est très clair !
would be nice if you said what you used to bind basket and how to prepare it. Also what tree branch you are using for the rim.
The binding material is spruce roots, I have a full video called "spruce roots" on that subject, search youtube : Nomadic woodsman spruce roots. You must harvest them from the soil, clean them, boil them, strip them of bark, and split them. Use them as binding while they are wet. The tree branch is a simple willow straight branch with no knots. Used boiling water to help bend without breaking. Hope that helps ! Steve
Whoop Whoop Whoop Whoop awesome
Thank you ! Glad you enjoyed that ! Steve
What kind of tool is that curved one?
It is called a crooked knife or mocotaugan. Traditional tool made and used by first nations in Northeastern America.
@@NomadicWoodsman Thank you! I'm just learning about this. Are you only supposed to collect bark in the spring?
@@Opaleyesopen Spring and summer, it is easier to peel when the weather is warm (more than 20C and the sap is flowing between bark and wood). If earlier spring while leaves are coming out, we call it winter bark. And you can scrape off those designs on it, geese and stars, etc. if you collect in warmer weather it is easier to peel but you won't be able to scrape off the designs on it. Will still make a beauty basket though !
@@NomadicWoodsman Maybe if you put it in the freezer. 😂
This canoe building is not for impatient people! I enjoyed the "why" of the grouse and laughed at the "eat" part. Beautiful work. Thanks for the video.
