I love Viking funerals!

Same here! Maybe we can talk swampratt into an early one! How exciting!!

We went across in it with a push pole and the current is going well.
Push poles were special made for me by a beaver and left at the launch sight.

Yea the river was only knee deep in Watonga.
When it is up higher on that property it gets all the way to neck deep.

The boat leaked at the large ribs a little because spray foam does not grab well to powder coated steel that has not been sanded.
If I build another one I will sandwich the roll of expanding foam that is used for these buildings into the ribs.
But for now it actually works well and with 3 people in it we did not get our feet wet.

Hip waders would get you to the other side quicker though.

Video of the historic cruise?! Is time now for the viking funeral!!???

No videos as I do not have a cell phone and I do not have any video camera either.
And the other 2 guys in the boat i swear were city boys raised by their momma's.

They were a bit scared. Very scared.
I had to go across first and then come back and get them and they were nervous as a couple long tailed cats in a room full of rocking chairs.

I have been shooting at a buddies place in Watonga and the canadian river (creek) passes through the property and when it's up you can't drive across it.

I told him I have stuff at the house we can build a boat out of.
So 3 of us got to bending steel and then spray foamed and flex sealed this together.
The 2 other guys were skeptical but now can't wait to toss this in the drink and see if it floats.

Them darn beaver's do good work, just need to train one to knaw you a wooden canoe now. And it's really all about the experience - right.
