Part 2: Finding a random wood drill in the forest.
rock to dent it, then burn a hole the rest of the way
@@BlueTroll you can also friction burn a hole in it. Basically its a stick with a point on one end and flat on the other, the flat end is the one that burns through and the pointed one is used with another piece of wood to hold it straight. You make a small bow for making fires and use that on the piece of wood to literally friction burn into the wood to your desired depth
@@1984nighthawk450 bows are terrible. Don't use them. It's easier to make and use a piston firestarter than a bow
Find a drill, a saw, and an axe. Spend three months in a gym to push a trunk. Like an escape games app, looking for stuff in a location!!
But in the other hand. And even having all the tools, nice to do something by oneself, instead of purchasing, and having all served!! Thanks Billy
Wow, what a job! We had a hard time only finding wood for the campfire at nights, and you find enough to build a raft, you're my idol!!!
Hey Billy , You are more than a really cool dude ,and a great educator ! Your one tough HOMBRE ! 👍👍
That demonstration was authentic Canadian bushcraft. I'm glad I caught this. Thanks.
building the raft looked like an adventure. Paddling the yukon looked like a wild ride.
I will put one of those hand augers\drills on my christmas list. Cheers!!
you know I always think to my self "if i was stranded on an island how would i make a raft with no cordage?" now Thanks to you Billy i know ..thank you man .. keep smiling bro
Its Hernia time for Billy..ha .Careful with those huge trees...Great job...U are definately...possessed with super skills..Love ya...
Very cool. And that scotch eyed auger is a very handy tool to have. Top video.
You are a true bushcraft man Billy. I couldn't help laughing watching the side video when that "Oh s--t" moment happened. Thanks. Be safe.
thank you Billy for another look at life from the past. building a raft by hand is some serious work. you make it look easy. I admire your work ethics and your gentle spirit. Respectfully yours G Malise
Great job and awesome construction! We also bulit a raft and it really is a lot of fun, we have a vido about it on our channel too :) Next time we know how to do it without ropes :D
+The Real Life Guys Great channel, keep the good work my friend.
Very impressive in design and workmanship! Looking forward to seeing your adventure as you float down the rapids!
Awesome....another great video....
Love your videos Billy! In case you did not notice you need longer boots.
great Billy your living the dream
Thank you Billy
Efficient way to travel long distance for cheap! You just gave me an idea... So long my friend Billy.
Billy , you are just fantastic . I always enjoy your videos and wish I were younger to go do the same' Thanks for taking the time to do this
As usual, a great journey. Thanks for bringing us along Billy!
Whoweee Billy I'm tuckered out just watching your video! Great job on the construction, looking forward to seeing you navigate the river on your raft. Thanks for sharing!
Great job billy! I've got to try that. It looks like a lot of work and a great challenge! Thanks
Bravo Billy, je retrouve bien là l'esprit de ton livre que je dévore en ce moment… La famille maron de Paris
Hey Billy, who needs to work out at a gym? just build one of those rafts every other day HA HA HA! Interesting video, I wouldn't have known to use square pegs and I thought the diagonal piece was smart to tighten everything up. Merci!
For an easy going guy, you work very hard! Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Huck Finns got nothing on you brother, nice work.
Another awesome and outstanding video Billy! Keep the great work going! Cheers, Marc
BILLY, you are So Informative, Creative and a Very Smart man !!!! In my eyes you are a Genius in everything you do !!!! I learn so much from you and it is Very Appreciated. It's now 2018" and it would be a dream come true to spend a little bit of time with you to absorb not even an 1/8 of what you know about the wilderness, building and just Survival in the woods. You have such a wonderful personality about you, we all love you so !!!! Thanks for your guidance in your videos !!!! Much appreciation, Sherry 😇👍👍👍
Outstanding Billy! I love this. Great job!
+Billy Rioux hey Billy great vid. We're you in the vallée de mapadia? Any how you were not to far from me, percé Gaspésie.
Now that is neat!!!!
“Hello everyone this is billy, and today we’re going to be building a boat with no roooopppeeeeesssss”
-billy
Really good video and great tips, thank you!
Good stuff Billy. Keep these vids coming. They are interesting and useful. By the way, where is Mike when you need him? Hahahaa
This is amazing! Too cool. When hard work and determination pay off
This is the definition on how to float on the amazon river
Birch wood also known as canoe wood would be kick ass for a raft. Nice video and use of the auger. a pocket saw would come in handy for falling trees too.
+William Perrin Thanks William! Yes, pocket saw for building my next raft;)
yay new video!
Billy, you had me guessing how you were going to hold all the logs together.....you really pegged it....and as George Folkner said, "You would be a great teacher", which I totally agree, mon ami!
That was cool Billy. We used the same idea when I was a Youngin, ahh let me think back, maybe 50+ years back..ouch now I got one heck of a headache..to much thinking I think..anyway, we didn't have rope, or a bit like you used, we used railroad spikes..the raft lasted about 5 years, we found the RR Spikes, but very little of the logs..lol..That's another idea for the Memory Banks..Thanks as always Billy..Take care and quit being such an animal, your gonna hurt something, Like Ossie said !!
Square Pegs-Round Holes- Superb ! If any-1 could do this I knew U could Billy ! ha ha Thanks 4 sharing your passion. ATB Terry
Poor senior tree he was just chillin
Nice work! Perhaps an out-rigger would help make it more stable?
un sacré travail !! trainer les troncs jusqu'à l'eau à du être épuisant!
je vais m'y mettre petit à petit, ça viendra :) Merci
Well done Billy! A lot of hard work always brings good fun.
Ernie
A lot of work for sure. Great video.

Great Build Bud, thanks for sharing. ThumbZ UP !!!
Ingenious !! Great billy. Love ur enthusiasm. Thanks brother👍🏻 cheers dom
now that was pretty cool thanks for sharing
Billy ! Loving your vids ..great lessons ! Sending love from canada !
So cool; I loved it.
OMG you're so underrated. you're incredible man!!
just loved it
the rafts in me channel are made of bamboo and are used by people and mountain motorcycles to cross a river.
those pegs....way cool!...do need the auger tool!
great
Thanks for sharing ...Clark &Virginia
thank you
+Aj Keelin Thanks for watching Aj.
That's a good trick and probably even better than doing it with rope cause the rope can decay overtime and tears off.
Hey Billy, what size was the auger you used for the raft?
c'est d'ouvrage! T'es bon!
how long did it take to make it?
good
hay billy if I ever get lost, I want to be lost with you czzzz you will know what to do for sure. lol, you sunshine man
Terrific project Billy! Be very careful lifting those heavy logs. Take it from a man who abused his back in his youth and is paying dearly for it now. I have two six inch rods, two bolts, and four screws holding my lumbar spine together. The surgery was done twenty-two years ago and now arthritis has set in. Be careful! Sincerely, Ossie
Morshu is very triggered by no ROPE!
I think it would be harder to find a hand auger drill bit for such a task, than rope.. Where does one find such a thing?
I ask because I want one.
Bro everything about this is awesome I will build my own raft now and poast it on my channel with only 30 subscribers. What is you accent, it sounds like a French canadien accent. I am a French Ontario Canadien
;-) hard work ;-) good work ;-)
Honestly thought he said he was going to be building a raft with no robes.
Ah Billy that looked like so much fun! :) Bet it was tiring though ahaha Huck Finn is my hero as well! Quick question- when around water so much how do prefer to prevent your axe and knife from rusting? Great video as always- one of my favorites! All the best Tom.
+Billy Rioux Ah good idea, thanks Billy :)
Honestly... It's easier to make a rope out of grass, or make cordage out of wood to use as a rope. Way more convenient compare to doing all that chopping and work.
his design is stronger and less likely to fail since the grass ropes would be subject to sheering failure from objects under the water.
That little axe is going to wear you out.
Nice, i´m glad to see you again and a new Video from you.Your Videos are so Great man. What kind of Knife do you have every Time on you Belt? Take care Billy. Best Wishes from Germany
+Billy Rioux
Thank you for your answer. Yes for sure i have follow you, i looke your videos a second time, i did´t find it anymore, sorry. Your Cabin is awesome man great work. Take care
Looks fun! just don't take this through Lachine with out a helmet. lol
You are more brave than me.lol drowning sucks
what axe do you recommend ?
How do you know how to do all of this?
I fully live my passion and learn at the same time :)
Is int the raft meant for staying dry you just hoed in and said ok cool
Billy wondered where your at ..If you needed help, in case of emergency ..do you have cell phone contact or someone near there to you ?...When you reply to these vlogs R U at your cabin there or somewhere else..if I might ask..?
It ah , wuz good ah , but ah , what if ah , you not ave ah , a steel auger ah ? ?
Bonne accent mon Billy
eehmm if I have to build a raft without rope, I probably don't even have the tools to drill those holes either
you can make the holes with primitive tools
I searched for this.
💪👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍💪
Definitely a north American but I've never heard that accent... Are you Quebecois?
Yes
You look like indiana jones
Hamoudi I'm watching you 😈

What accent is that?
Mark Squier Canadian petite francais
its french Canadian
Quebec accent. I'm native there :)
im gay
Thanks Billy..
Great job!!! Hard work no question!!!! Another amazing video!!
I love your videos Billy. I love your knowledge, your humour, and your ability to laugh at yourself. Just wondering what actual period you love best? 16/17/18/19th century? Thanks once again, I always look forward to your videos. (also please translate your books.. I would love to read them, but my french is appalling! merci bien! )
+Billy Rioux I used to do a lot of 16th century (Tudor) re enactment, used to do living history here.... (Tales from the green valley) its on TH-cam. Now looking to buy some land and do permaculture farming. Thought about moving to Canada at one point lol. Wanted some wilderness. Will probably end up in rural Wales tho. Love the videos, and looking forward to more. Thanks Billy
Always enjoy your videos...Just thinking, if that were Louisiana, mosquitos would have eaten you alive...
youtuber:bad,bad wood ! receive your punishment;your a raft now xDDD
Another great vid . How do you sharpen your axe ? Stones ? Files ? What angle ? Perhaps make a vid and show us how to do it properly ? I understand the angle is very important . How do you get a broken handle out of the axe head ? Drill it out ? Pound it out ? Burn it out ? We need a vid .
I have easiest way get 6logs set planks with nails done
