Ancient truths melt under the flame of modern assumption. Perhaps you could post a video demonstrating the sustainable harvest of birchbark. Your ancestors would be proud.
Anciennes vérités fondre sous la flamme de la prise en charge moderne. Peut-être que vous pourriez poster une vidéo montrant la récolte durable de l’écorce de bouleau. Vos ancêtres seraient fiers.
Hi Francois
You are a true craftsman. It is an awesome canoe you built I wish I could do the same. Please pass your talent onto our younger generation. Merci beaucoup tres belle video !!!!!
@tiantkpq Humidity is good for birchbark canoes, humidity keeps the bark damp and avoids it from getting brittle. The enemy for the bark is dryness and direct heat or sun. You can order a canoe directly from me, here is my email adress: franz_rothan@yahoo.com you can contact me for prices, size and models. Thanks

He cut the tree because he knew that it would kill it. The birch will not survive without it. Your impolite comment is based on the assumption that he let the tree rot there. You don’t even know what he did with it.
You must always harvest birch bark from trees that will be cut down soon. Birch will not survive without its bark. Natives used the wood for many applications.
Great video, I love the whole thing from beginning to end . how it is straight to the point and no blabing on. I am a fellow canoe builder so can appreciate your work. thank you for sharing.

Taanishi! Thank you so much for sharing this magnificent process with us. My 5 year old son and I watched the video of the canoe construction and we are in awe! An important cultural practice that we need to preserve. Best wishes.

Ah ha!! you’re not supposed to ask those questions:-) And those concrete blocks?? Nice job all the same.
Nothing short of magnificent. Thank you for making this video.

Hi Francois,
Beautiful work. Can the canoe survive usage in tropical country with in the 100% humility, like in Bahamas? How can I order one from you?
Probably one of the most amazing videos I have seen on youtube. You are a true craftsman!

Fabuleux ! ! ! çà fait rêver ! Merci !
Merci énormément pour ce video. J’ai ressenti une décharge d’adrénaline lors de la mise à l’eau. J’ai pensé : je dois faire ça. Et ce sera cet été.
Encore merci!
Arte pura. Parabéns ao executor. O mundo precisa cada vez mais destas pessoas.

Why the hell did u cut the tree, stupid idiot
Very good video
Didn’t native americans/canadians have a way of removing birch bark so that it didn’t kill the entire tree?
what is the tool called at 1:25 - 1:34??

bien sur ça s’achète, je prends les commandes.
Wow magnifique! Y en a du travaille là d’dans!!!
J’en veux un canot comme ça!!!!! Est-ce que ça s’achète?
You use a drill and screws for the frame I notice, but what did the natives use? And how do you make the gum?
