    How to build a boat

    I have found this neat way to build a boat. Do you guys have other simple ways to do so?

    Arrgh........ Laddie, but is she sea worthy? It looks OK for Puddle Pirates, maybe a crossing your cow's pond or something. But is it sailor proof?

    At least it has a place to put me RUM!

    Seriously, in a SHTF situation, there's enough of that around to make a flotation device to make a river crossing with so keep that in the back of your head people. You've seen the commercial enough times on TV, you see the trash everyday. Log it!

    In a real situation, do you think paracord would work?

    Not to make something "like that" but you could use it to lash as many bottles as you can to branches to make a raft of sorts. I would use it more to float my gear across. That being my first primary concern, again this is as "mission dictates"

    1. what is your primary obstruction, river, creek, lake?
    2. what are the weather conditions?
    3. Do I need to float, myself or others across or just my gear?
    4. can I fucking swim? If not then strap them to your body to make flotation devices (water wings) or a vest type apparatus.
    5. Here is where the old 90 mile an hour tape comes in but then again that shit never worked well in water so strike that. JMO....

    Here's where the POS litter bugs of the world are actually worth a shit. OH then there's the hunting them down part right?

    Almost looks like some kind of mesh holding that together. I've seen a dock held up with plastic bottles. They were held in with wire mesh of some sort.

    I am glad this make you all think about it.

    It is enough of a boat to go fish, or transport some stuff accross a big lake.

    Give a man a fish........teach a man to fish...........plant a seed and watch it grow. Is it not the concept of the site? But what of the rum? Good picture RedJohn, made a nice flow, shall we continue?

    If I drank that many two liters I would be too overweight for them to hold me up.
