Counsel Egorov, tell me please: how long can you stay in KAYAK from YPAKOVA4NAYA PLENKA without a leak? 1 hour or 1 day? I think sooner or later the film will leak, but I myself plan to try it on the Volga River.

I was not so interested in the plastic wrap version. But once you mentioned the use of composite materials, you got my full attention. Please share your experience with that?

Hello again i am in the process of building your kayak and cannot find a wind splintered tree so i am taking a 6 in diameter green fir tree (about 10 ft long) and splitting it into pie shaped wedges and using a fro and draw knife to remove the inter core. i am trying using the wood both flat grained (like yours) and also with the grain vertical in the slat. both seem to work fine. the weather is still cold here so i cannot finish the kayak for awhile. I made a jig for your grommets and it works great. cut out some plywood patterns to bend the ribs around . i will try the tree method you use also.
I have watched you cook trout over a fire many times. I found a way that also works great and is fun to do with children. i gut the fish with heads left on. i take a pencil sized sharpened green stick about 2 inches longer then the trout and push it into the trouts mouth and up into the meat in the tail area. that leaves 2 0r 3 inches of stick sticking out of the mouth. i spread the coals of an outside fire so there is a trench down to the dirt about a foot wide. I then poke some small holes into the dirt so i can then stand the trout nose down with the stick into the hole in the ground. the ridge of coals on each side of the fish provides lots of heat. As the fish cooks the body cavity spreads open. when it stops opening and just starts to close a little the fish is done. kids and adults delight in catching a trout by our cabin and run up to cook it. while its cooking they go back and fish more. they butter them slightly and add a little bit of salt and pepper. Hope spring has arrived in your area so you can make some new you tubes.

You could use recycled seran wrap as well.

Sheila M - 5 years ago

Thanks for adding this video to your english channel. I would enjoy any of these plastic wrap creations of yours. I think they are genius and inexpensive. They would make a good school project that would encourage creativity in students and actually give the something they could really go out and use; furthering their education and development.

Great video Max. Did you tie those joints with bottle tape? I made your bottle cutter and would think the tape made from recycled plastic bottles would make great tying line for the kayak.

Nik Burton - 5 years ago

Thanks Max

Sheila M - 5 years ago

+Advoko MAKES - thanks for the reply it clarifies why you use the scotch tape instead.

Sheila M - 5 years ago

@Nik Burton - good question.

Advoko MAKES - 5 years ago

Hi Nik. It can be done and I did use the PET tape on my tarp kayak for holding tarp skin tightly wrapped over the kayak's frame. As far as assembling the frame,I think scotch tape is easier to use and more secure to hold the frame's members together.

Advoko MAKES - 5 years ago

Please: do share your extensive experiences with your water vessel building. The information is so useful as it is inspiring.

Teemu Hakala - 5 years ago

Have you tried the composite skin without plastic wrap? Also: how heavy the strong composite kayak ended up being? When you carry it, it still looks reasonably lightweight so I'm suspecting maybe under 10kg.

Advoko MAKES - 5 years ago

I haven't. I think it is just easier to have the plastic wrap as a foundation for epoxy bold. I think doing it this way is less messy and doesn't really add weight to your kayak.
Yes, the kayak is still light but noticeably heavier than the plastic wrap featherlight model.

Advoko MAKES - 5 years ago

Well, not quite. Wood is a polymer made of approximately 50% carbon, 42% oxygen, 6% hydrogen, 1% nitrogen, and 1% other elements (mainly calcium, potassium, sodium, magnesium, iron, and manganese) by weight.
So, in a way it is more of a polysaccharide (Cellulose) plus lignin (a complex organic polymer deposited in the cell walls).
Hope I didn't confuse you)))
