When i first saw the thumbnail for this video i thought ''What on earth is that!?''. It reminded me of a Buffalo hide Coracle Ray Mears built in the Bushcraft - America episode! 2:52 me made laugh - ''Causing major sinkage!''. Brilliant video Phil & Ashely!

I can just imagine that getting in and out of that thing is a trick! And you wouldn't want to go over sharp rocks. But after the basic technique is mastered, it's probably great fun.

@NaturalBushcraft Thanks. I guess it's not really important but I was just a bit curious. Bad failing of mine, always want to know everything and wanting to learn more.

@10yearvet. Hi, if I had all the willow ready to go I'd say about a day to get the gunwhale/ribs woven and lashed. Then it would be best to leave it in the ground for a week with a plank on it, with rocks piled on the plank to flatten the hull. Then another day to sew the canvas on. Then 3 days of waterproofing... One coat per day, leaving each coat to dry for a day in between.
I work a lot of hours, and have lots going on too, so it got done as and when.
In summary, 2 weeks bud, but that depe

How long does that one last and how careful do you need to be with it?
If I was to make a really quick, shitty one from sticks/saplings kangaroo hide, how long do you think it would last and how careful would I need to be with it?

@ytdcfjhvjvp0j Is this a serious question? It's just I can't see you making a "quick, shitty one" from sticks and Kangaroo hides!?... and also if it was done hastily in a rush how could we predict your build quality and how long it might last? Impossible to answer to be honest - If it's going to be a "quick one" I'd say try it and see ;) I don't have any experience of the size and quality of Kangaroo hides either!

Nice vid. Now that you've made one how long do you think it would take you to build if you didn't have other projects going on?

@10yearvet Accessing the resources is the other thing, do you mean if you had all the resources ready to go aswell? (I didn't make the Coracle but I will forward your question on to Phil who did make it).
