- Three days ago, I gave Britt,

And that was to build
a wilderness watercraft.

Let's take a look

He did something really
refreshing and different.
417
00:18:16,762 --> 00:18:19,131
He used completely
local materials--
418
00:18:19,265 --> 00:18:23,069
his bamboo that he found--
and not using the tarp at all,
419
00:18:23,202 --> 00:18:25,671
that's definitely a bonus point
that I'm gonna give Britt here.
420
00:18:25,805 --> 00:18:28,741
He chose not to make a paddle.
He used a pole,
421
00:18:28,874 --> 00:18:31,010
which is totally typical
for raft users.
422
00:18:31,143 --> 00:18:33,779
Another clever idea for Britt.
423
00:18:33,913 --> 00:18:36,716
However,
he did get wet on his raft,
424
00:18:36,849 --> 00:18:39,719
and that could spell for danger
while being out on the water.

The connections, the joints,
all looked super well tied.

We see Clay also using fire
to shape his frame,
428

The boat frame is sound,
lashed together well.

She's using an outrigger.
436
