I have watched allllllllllllllllllllll your videos it is fantastic to live with you through your journeys. Just 2 questions. The videos these days end so short as if i am missing something ? And the second thing the numbering of the episodes stopped completely which means if you want to follow the journey from the beginning you get lost about episode 43 or 44 i think. YOU ARE GREAT keep up the good videos we love you
One of my fav things about your channel is showing things like the giant fishing boat in the Philippines and things like this video. It's not just YOUR story the whole time on the boat in random places. Not terrible but you have a much cooler outlook on the actual cultures and differences every where you go than any of the other channels I follow. Sadly it's taken me 5 years to talk my husband into traveling the US in an rv so I've got a long while to go before I'm following behind you guys so it's fun to watch until I can do it myself ❤️
yeah, not that many people speaks english in that area, you should be grateful there is someone like dennox who can give you information using your language
hey guys Canadian here living in indo for 3 years now. awesome content! you guys should really get a cheat sheet going of simple bahasa indonesia. you can get by with 10 simple sayings no prob. selamat pagi,- good morning, selamat malam - goodnight, makasih - thanks, sama sama - youre welcome, saya mau - i want, harga berapa - how much, jam berapa - what time, ... and on and on. i had a pocket notebook for a while and helped a lot, and especially in remote parts, the villagers will most likely know very little english. they love bule's (tourists) trying to speak. it will make your next indo video even more connected! cheers from Rote Island.
Since they use the metric system his estimate of 100 metric tons, would be roughly 110 tons us Yankees, incredible. I use a lot of ironwood in my woodworking projects because it is an affordably priced exotic in the USA (likely due to poor harvesting management) it is one of the prettier exotics when sanded and polished, far prettier than teak or mahogany. Thank you both for sharing.
We use Iron wood on the decks of our fishing boats in Alaska the same ones you see on the the deadliest catch. It is extremely expensive and tough to find, when we replaced the deck of 163 foot pot boat we bought all the iron wood in Seattle Wa, and had could not replace the last 1/5 of the deck before we sailed to Alaska.

its not a scam, but its illegal. We call it "pungli/ pungutan liar" . It doesnt matter how much it cost, but he should do it legally (with proper sign and tickets), no sign, no ticket, its free.
I am Indonesian .. I'm sorry about plastic waste .. Hopefully the public is more aware of the dangers of plastic waste to the environment and hopefully Indonesia will be cleaner in the future
Somewhere around 75% of all the Plastic waste in the ocean... ... Comes from 2 continents... Asia and Africa... Very Little comes from North America...
Just finished watching ‘building the Calico Jack’ . Similar build and boat on an island near there but much better commentary from the locals. Still great movie. Happy world sailing! Greg in South Haven Michigan.
Traditional Indonesian ships are made without metal fasteners - only with those wooden dowels. I have seen the "Phinisi schooners" which are used for charter service... All hand carved wood on the inside- very beautiful boats.

Thank you so much for many of your videos in the early days you showed all the fishing tricks all the good and the (OMG vomit) seasick. You have shown the foods, both bat soup and fur, the wonderful people in communities like PNG and gave them help with your store of medications. I am such a fan., this video and so many before like shown the windlass and rewinding of motors in other countries. Then this is just another feather in you cap on what I would call great reporting around the world catamaran style. Thank you again.
I think that was so cool. The money you guys gave hem was worth it plus them ppl dont have much money it mite have feed his family ..you guys are great...mark Philadelphia p.a
"As" is Dutch for axle. Remember that the Dutch East India Company was a HUGE enterprise hundreds of years ago. They built what became Cape Town, as a halfway point to re-supply their traders with consumables. So a lot of ship-building terms in Indonesia and the Philippines will have Dutch origins.
Great video! Dennox has pretty good English and can explain complex ideas with relative ease: well worth your $50. Probably looking at the legacy of hundreds of years of maritime architecture and all done with the plans in their head. Truly awesome stuff. Of course Dennox didn’t want to hang around longer than he had to: the windfall will probably do great things for his family and he was desperate to share the good news, so you’ve done a good thing.
OEPLAYZ I guess is Bali authorities that needs to be clean, I guess Nahoa they don’t have any issue protecting our planet. When I was in Bali locals don’t care about environment, just sad! And now you ordering others!
Hi Ben & Ashley , my appreciation for the video report , a nice story , hope you will find it worth visiting our country. Moee stories are welcome, and hope you will stay longer here. Iron wood = kayu besi , we have quite many in Maluku, Kalimantan and Papua. Such boat builder are many along our coastal area , and most of them are built like the Pinisi style boat. Also my admiration for the skill & knowledge that they have. I am looking forward to your next expedition videos - good luck and save journey
That boat is indeed Huge. As a side note we saw you had signed the visitors book in Fulanga so we did a shout out. Your signature Ben got the forensics put on it. It's pretty Huge too! FYI it's the We Caught Crabs ep..
I remember reading about an Australian couple who got a boat made in Indonesia it cost them about AUD$90k and this was when the AUD-USD exchange rate was almost 1-1. The finished boat included motors and sails. It was a pretty big boat over 160 feet, 50 meters.
A kamagong tree fell once after a typhoon in the Philippines. I tried to chop it (only 6 inch diameter) with a heavy machete and it took me a while to get through it (2-3 hrs). I later found out it's a type of iron-wood. Very dense, and the wood has a dark colour.
Love the continuity and ingenuity you see here. Like "As" is the Dutch word for Axle; there's some history in trade and boat building there. And they call them Phinisi most likely from the Phoenicians, another part of naval trading history story :) Cool!
Tony & Susan here, I believe he said could be 5 Billion so $350K seams realistic . But I could not build it for that and I have skills. Time for a beer Ben
"I don't think they have safety regulations in Indonesia" 😂 This a great story, Ben and Ash. Thanks for inspiring me as my family starts our own journey! 👍
There are safety regulations in Indonesia, but it is not strictly forced to small business. And the worker in most of cases don't really care about safety as much as in other developed country. That shipyard for example, even if the owner provided them with helmet, gloves, safety glasses and such the worker will not use them most of the time because its inconvinient to them.
If no one has already commented on the method used to launch the boat, when dennox was describing it I have seen many ships beating launched using rubber rollers, almost like the fenders found on vessels.. I assume (from his explanation and how I’ve seen boats / ships launched )they use bambo poles or other round long times as the rollers they use along the beach. Often there will only be x amount of rollers and they are moved from the rear to the front as the boat rolls along them.. Great video thanks guys.
Your videos continue to amaze and inspire me. I truly admire your adventurous lifestyle and how many new things you guys get to experience and more importantly that you are willing to share it with the world. Keep up the great work and enjoy your journey!
5 bucks for stopping the guy working and getting a nice tour is not a scam. When you're back in the states, walk into Google's office with a camera asking all your questions and see how long you last. Indonesia is awesome.
In indo they speak in increments of 1,000. So if asking for 50, its 50k IDR or ~3 USD. Still a good deal. (I am married to an Indonesian, and live there from time to time)
Thanks guys very interesting video. That is so cool how they build and launch those boats. I'm a carpenter, I always love seeing how they work with what they have to do such a massive jobs. From your fans here in the central Florida swamps🐊stay safe we love y'all. 👍👍💕🐾
Do a YT search for Indonesian boat launch. There is one that comes up that is very similar, could be the same boat (hard to positively identify buildings between the videos).
Ironwood very good, strong, make really good boat. You can see how powerful is boat to be pulled into water and not break. Well made wood boat is a very strong hull. Larges steel boat while strong has a limited lifespan, whole thing rust, but a wood boat can be more easily repaired.
What I admire about traditional wooden boat building in Indonesia , is selecting high quality timber ,pre cut as per order , fitted for designated section of hull . Pre bend from branches of a tree then it will be cut when order comes .they like rounded bottom hull for speed . Traditionally their skills came from their Malayan Polynesian ancestry .
Primitive and crazy cool! What people can do! Just goes to show if these folks can build a boat like this in modern times using primitive methods think what the ancients were also capable of too...I think the technology has always been there. Amazing video guys!
You are also primitive and you cannot explain yourself well enough ? Are you trying to tell how these Muslim people primitive , do you look down on them ? You should read study and learn about hand crafting like in everything but especially in boat industry It's not about primitive method It's about art. If white folks do it , you would've said WOW and respect them...
These daddy's are serious craftsmen with minimal basic tools, they have safety regs cause I saw your wearing Indonesian work boots lol. I'd hate to be the guy facing out the bilges ..., Safety glasses bare feet and one hand cutting, if he chops his leg off they got about 1900 in the closet for spares.... Seriously Indonesia and Vietnam build some mad ass boats, love it...
BTW. "Dowel" = trunnel (AKA treenail), used in most wooden ships to hold planks to frames. Bamboo shreds appear to be the equivalent of tow (shredded hemp in the old days) as a first layer when caulking a seam.
hey Ben and Ashley,, the only difference between you and the other sailing channels, is that they upload more often like a video a day,,, so please do more uploads, because, I love watching your videos than the other sailing channels, you deserve more subs and you will definitely gain more subscribers if you upload more of your videos,,,
sorry sir I just straightened, I'm from Indonesia, the ship was a pinisi ship from South Sulawesi, the ship descended from our ancestors who traveled to other parts of the world using a pinisi ship, and I want to straighten the price of the ship around 5,000,000,000 billion rupiah if in Exchange to USD around 355,628USD :D,why workers do not use safety because it has gone down from our ancestors hehe sorry if there are any of my words
"I dont think they have any safety regulations" Bro these poor people are in such poverty they cant even deal with their garbage. They cannot afdord to pay people to slow down their building processes
i'm indonesian... bro, they are not a poor people... trust me... they have big house at their village.. compare to modern ship building, savety regulation at this traditional ship building is low low low... but you know what.. they have very minimum accident ...
Hi im from Fiji islands,Viti Levu,in Lautoka second capital of Fiji and lately I've started watching ur video's and i love it would like to meet u guy's sometime.
Phinisi....that makes sense! The Phoenicians were maritime traders back in antiquity and these vessels, and smaller ones called Prahus in Indonesia, were powered by Lateen sails until only a few years ago. Lateen sails have their origin in Arab design and powered all boats from east Africa to the Indonesian archipelago.They are still used on new vessels (dhows) built along the north Indian Ocean coast. Powerful and easy to handle these vessels were nearly ubiquitous throughout thousands of years of history! The bamboo caulking is not very different to oakum used in Europe (the busted up and rolled fibres of the oak tree bark) for centuries. Thanks, that was a very informative video!
I think what he meant, is that they lay bamboo in front / under the hull and use it as a simple conveyor-belt. The rolling motion drastically decreases the friction created by the boat.

Pricelist for that kind phinisi is about 700k up to 1,5 milion dollar, interior and other it's not include
He esplained everything very well.
even if you gave him 100 rupiyah (which is what it sounded like he charged) thats basically nothing in USD or an equivalent currency
Right?! A quick google search says that 100 Rupiah = .0072 USD.... less than a cent for that awesome tour
and he is giving quite the service.
In indo they speak in increments of 1,000. So if asking for 50, its 50k IDR or ~3 USD. Still a good deal. (I am married to an Indonesian, and live there from time to time)
50 ITS mean 50000 rupiah ITS about 3.5 dollar
They paid him $3.57 USD or so, he can buy a nice lunch or two for that.

Had to come from somewhere. Lucas didn't just dream up an accent like he did for JarJar.

What I admire about traditional wooden boat building in Indonesia , is selecting high quality timber ,pre cut as per order , fitted for designated section of hull . Pre bend from branches of a tree then it will be cut when order comes .they like rounded bottom hull for speed . Traditionally their skills came from their Malayan Polynesian ancestry .
The tour guy sounds like Yoda from Star Wars - with his high pitch voice,
I was thinking Scrooby doo
That video makes traveling all worth it.
Primitive and crazy cool! What people can do! Just goes to show if these folks can build a boat like this in modern times using primitive methods think what the ancients were also capable of too...I think the technology has always been there. Amazing video guys!
You are also primitive and you cannot explain yourself well enough ? Are you trying to tell how these Muslim people primitive , do you look down on them ? You should read study and learn about hand crafting like in everything but especially in boat industry It's not about primitive method It's about art. If white folks do it , you would've said WOW and respect them...
he did not scam you guys money, you guys agreed to exchange info. nobody forces you guys. his time and knowledge is valueble as well.
Like a "Hansa Kogge" in the north or baltic sea.
Love these guys. Always love watching there videos.
These daddy's are serious craftsmen with minimal basic tools, they have safety regs cause I saw your wearing Indonesian work boots lol.
I'd hate to be the guy facing out the bilges ...,
Safety glasses bare feet and one hand cutting, if he chops his leg off they got about 1900 in the closet for spares....
Seriously Indonesia and Vietnam build some mad ass boats, love it...
You guys should put more clips of you fishing/reeling in catches more often its really entertaining
BTW.
"Dowel" = trunnel (AKA treenail), used in most wooden ships to hold planks to frames.
Bamboo shreds appear to be the equivalent of tow (shredded hemp in the old days) as a first layer when caulking a seam.
hey Ben and Ashley,, the only difference between you and the other sailing channels, is that they upload more often like a video a day,,, so please do more uploads, because, I love watching your videos than the other sailing channels, you deserve more subs and you will definitely gain more subscribers if you upload more of your videos,,,
That is one of my all time favorite boats !!! I have seen these as far up as Thailand.. cheers , love you guys!!
So interesting... you sure do get to meet some very kind and interesting people who take time to show you around and explain things!
This is the best Chanel on TH-cam, when the notification come of new video y leave everything to watch! Regards from 🇦🇷
sorry sir I just straightened, I'm from Indonesia, the ship was a pinisi ship from South Sulawesi, the ship descended from our ancestors who traveled to other parts of the world using a pinisi ship, and I want to straighten the price of the ship around 5,000,000,000 billion rupiah if in Exchange to USD around 355,628USD :D,why workers do not use safety because it has gone down from our ancestors hehe sorry if there are any of my words
Manbe ,a Last Noah's Ark ship, I think .
Enjoyed the video very much. Thank you Ben & Ashley for sharing your experience. Looking forward for another video.👍🏼✌🏼
"I dont think they have any safety regulations"
Bro these poor people are in such poverty they cant even deal with their garbage. They cannot afdord to pay people to slow down their building processes
Yes .. Indonesia is a big country. Savety regulation doesn't touch them..
thaTS boat is 1 b. 1.000.000.000 rupiah. wow big money
i'm indonesian... bro, they are not a poor people... trust me... they have big house at their village..
compare to modern ship building, savety regulation at this traditional ship building is low low low... but you know what.. they have very minimum accident ...
@@xxxbbb1973 not 1 b.. but more than 5 b
What.... poor people???!!
Hi im from Fiji islands,Viti Levu,in Lautoka second capital of Fiji and lately I've started watching ur video's and i love it would like to meet u guy's sometime.
How to bend the hull of a vessel with iron wood material?
You always looking good on camera because your smile guys;)
Great video again guys! Love it! Great and informative! More please!👍🇬🇧
Now I know, Noah came from Indonesia..
It was named peterpan 😂
Amazing show and adventures. Thanks for sharing.
How many people stopped the video 15 seconds in after they saw the guy running a chainsaw in his bare feet just to read the comments. YIKES!!!
Serious case of the heebiejeebies!
Shoes or boots don’t protect your feet from a chainsaw.
It’s good to not touch any part of your body with a chainsaw.
Phinisi....that makes sense! The Phoenicians were maritime traders back in antiquity and these vessels, and smaller ones called Prahus in Indonesia, were powered by Lateen sails until only a few years ago. Lateen sails have their origin in Arab design and powered all boats from east Africa to the Indonesian archipelago.They are still used on new vessels (dhows) built along the north Indian Ocean coast. Powerful and easy to handle these vessels were nearly ubiquitous throughout thousands of years of history! The bamboo caulking is not very different to oakum used in Europe (the busted up and rolled fibres of the oak tree bark) for centuries. Thanks, that was a very informative video!
You’ve got to do a tour of one finished.
Thank you for sharing. Very very interesting.
Info and knowkedge more valuable then 💰💰💰
I think what he meant, is that they lay bamboo in front / under the hull and use it as a simple conveyor-belt. The rolling motion drastically decreases the friction created by the boat.
the second one said "nama saya" which means my name is...
Chika chika slim shady
