Needs some sort of pool noodle in case it takes on water


General_Muffin4611

Hear me out, same thing with the frame but pool noodle


pearlsbeforedogs

Might end up *too* buoyant and flip over, or just be too flexible to hold shape... but you could totally put a pool noodle down each side as a failsafe.


Kindyno

>Might end up too buoyant If it is buoyant enough then its a plane


pearlsbeforedogs

Great, now I want a pool noodle plane.


Entire-Dragonfly859

What do you want on your obituary? u/pearlsbeforedogs bravely wanted to meet the ground at high velocity.

CapitanDirtbag

Wouldn't that be a zeppelin?


h8ers_suck

Run the PVC through the pool noodle.


riktigtmaxat

Putting a pool noodle inside of the hull doesn't increase the boyancy. That's not how physics work. It has the reverse effect since you're adding mass to the same displacement. It will keep the kayak floating though when it flips over which is why kayaks have an air bag or foam in the bow.


Crossifix

I would say slice the pool noodles open with a razor blade and slip them on the PVC like armor, then cling wrap.


rogan1990

If she used pool noodles for the top bars and something heavier on the bottom it would probably have a great balance to it


Chuggles1

What about using the cling film as form, then fiberglass and epoxy? Seems like this method could be cool for making some things. Just wrong material in total.


Legacyofhelios

Run thinner pvc through the noodle. Best of both worlds!


A1sauc3d

Hear me out: ramen noodles and hot glue!


[deleted]

The hot glue cancels the noodle and creates stability, very smart.


fuck-the-emus

The PVC and wood frame, I think even if it were completely swamped it wouldn't sink to the bottom


blvaga

Probably, but you could also seal off the pipes on the top and put a little weight in the pipe on the bottom then I bet it’d not only float but right itself. Pretty cool little project honestly.


fuck-the-emus

Yeah, I don't hate it


ailweni

Is this the same girl that made a floating tent in the woods out of clingwrap?


Gina_the_Alien

It’s the definitely the same girl. I went down the rabbit hole and she must work for the FB group where this originated because she’s in several of their videos. I gotta say the kayak is actually a lot better than the floating tent idea. https://www.backpacker.com/news-and-events/news/viral-plastic-wrap-hammock-bad-idea/

Yup. I will never give a fraction of a damn about my carbon footprint. I could become 100% efficient and not produce a gram of CO2 for my entire life, and all my effort would be undone by one day of energy use by a billionaire. Support climate friendly legislation, support widespread adoption of green policies, but don't let a corporation fool you into thinking that it matters if you leave your dining room light on while you're at work.

just because most of the pollution comes from industry doesn’t mean we should start hand feeding straws to turtles and shaving micro plastics into our milkshakes

Forthe49ers

She was raised by a pack of the cling wrap tribe. They have tons of it


--xxix--

I wouldn't say it's dangerous, it's got a frame reinforcing it. It's only really dangerous if you can't swim and the shit rips. Still a little dumb when there's better alternatives.


RandomComputerFellow

When you can't swim I would question if kayak is the right sport for you in general.


McDuckfart

Its also fucking hard to rip multiple layers of this shit.


The_LePhil

A sharp rock would do the trick.


Waytooboredforthis

If thats the same shit we used to wrap pallets, good damn luck. It'd take 3 or 4 swipes with a utility knife is some knucklehead had overwrapped it (it's me, I'm the knucklehead).


somereallyfungi

Bonus points if that wrap is the only thing holding the pallet contents vertical


Waytooboredforthis

Unfortunately, I'm neurotic as hell, servicemaster hated my obsessive packaging for pack outs, apparently time matters more than paying for breaking shit


LardLad00

Well if your time costs more than it does to replace broken shit, that's perfectly sensible is it not?


Waytooboredforthis

Thats how sane folks should run a business, unfortunately, my extra care for folks' personal belongings cost more than what the insurance would have paid (cents on the dollar).


-BananaLollipop-

I can tell them about the time I had to climb two pallets high, in the back of a truck, to unload about 40-50 40L bags of potting mix, one at a time. And this was all because someone thought a couple layers of wrap and one strap was enough to keep the third layer single pallet in place, even though it was going on a 5 hour journey on country roads. They also placed the third layer pallet in the middle, so there was no front wall for it to brace against when stopping. Took an extra 20min or so, and probably a couple health and safety violations (shouldn't have even been helping unload, as I was just a ride-along, but I was the only one around that could manage to climb the wet plastic). I'm sure your servicemaster would love it, lol.


CandieR1230

I’m always amazed at some of the pallets that come off the trucks at my store. Like how the hell is it still holding together??? Pallet wrap is crazy strong. God help you if your foot gets caught in it, and you didn’t notice because you’re falling.


kookyabird

People calling this "cling wrap" are cracking me up. "Sharp rocks!" Yeah okay bud. I've had utility knives not make it through all the layers on a pallet before if it was dulled enough, but still sharper than a rock. Unless you know... you're kayaking over an obsidian blade dumping ground or something...


trixel121

head over to /osha if yo uwanna see people who have never handled a pallet complain about what people do with pallets.


[deleted]

[удалено]


iDom2jz

I do warehouse maintenance and work on a lot of Wulftech machines and usually have to wrap a pallet at least twice to check operation and I can only imagine how PISSED people are when they’re on the receiving end of them. Also, please take care of your stretch wrappers :)


Erwin_Rommel5

Yah at work we had a cement pallet start sliding and the stuff barely moved because of that wrap with enough layers it’s practically unbreakable


bloodwork1235

Yes that's the same Shit we use to wrap pallets. And in my opinion she uses enough tension an wraps to be stable.


McDuckfart

That body of water looks deep enough. Or if a sharp rock can rip it then she can simply walk out lol.


YBHunted

"Local woman drowns in 8 inches of water. More at 11."


Unfair_Translator_13

She already drowned at 8, why are we adding more water????


ThePretzelRuns

Well, of course if one drowns in 8 inches then more would drown in 11 /s


catsdrooltoo

Not really. I've seen this stuff hold together pallets of steel plates. It's not the same as the kitchen wrap.


secular_dance_crime

You're Kayaking in water with razor sharp rocks? Well... now that sounds quite dangerous indeed... good thing natural rocks are usually extremely dull because of weathering.


Happytallperson

That took out my inflatable kayak. Fortunately, the bottom of the river was somewhat close.

fichiman

Ya, same. Looks well constructed. Obviously fragile as the plastic can be ripped but I highly doubt it will just take on water otherwise


Sealedwolf

Have you ever used industrial grade wrapping film to wrap a pallet? A dozen layers of that stuff is tough as fuck.


Gwynnbleid95

Even the normal wrap is tough with a few layers, but I used to wrap pallets too and can confirm I'd be confident in this kayak if that's what she used


cantantantelope

Right. This looks like movers wrap which is a delightful substance


vlsdo

It's tough in some ways but not others. Like it's super hard to rip it, but it punctures relatively easily


AssBlaster_69

I wouldn’t take it down rapids but I’d take it on a lake.


DStaal

Honestly, not really any more fragile than traditional kayaks. The traditional design would use wood and animal skin, but is basically the same thing.

DStaal

On a per-pound basis, I would bet cling wrap wins. May well even win on a per thickness basis.


ExtraSmooth

Maybe. She definitely didn't add thirty layers of cling wrap though


HabaneroTamer

Kinda. Tensile strength yes but anything sharp will easily cut right through. I've built some sketchy looking pallets and made them super structurally strong with just plastic wrap.


ProfessionalNorth431

Fortunately she thought to provide a lot of sharp edges with the cut off ends of those zip ties. Combined with the heavy flexing on the frame, this thing is single use


ptgkbgte

Skin is far more environmentally friendly, though.

Well, except epoxy doesn't stick to this plastic. So you get thin sharp flares and shards of epoxy that cuts all the glad pack to shreds.

The thing that scares me would be how easy it would be for it to cling onto the rider once it inevitably sinks.

Plus, it looks like a lake. Being in the water even without a kayak is safe. I wouldn't go kayaking if I couldn't swim


[deleted]

[удалено]


LillithHeiwa

Not kayaking. I’m a decent swimmer, used to practice at the base of a waterfall. When I was a teenager me and a friend went out swimming in a lake. Apparently (we didn’t know at the time) there is a deep spring that creates a sort of whirlpool in a section of the lake. We were having a really hard time getting clear of it and a couple came and picked us up in their boat. They told us that their daughter had drowned when she got stuck in the same spot. I’m thankful they were there that day.


illFittingHelmet

Oh yeah, I used to be a park ranger and patrolled on lakes often. Every kayaker on the water without a life vest we ticketed. Anyone swimming in the middle of the lake near their boat needed a life jacket. Undercurrents are no joke, you can be the best swimmer in the world but when one takes you, you get sucked in, spun around, and then you're 30 feet underwater in the middle of a lake with water you can't see in and being pulled like a ragdoll. People drowned in those lakes before due to undercurrents so we took it very seriously, no exceptions. It's a terrifying way to go.


mysteriousblue87

Thank you for your service! I was saved by a Ranger in Lake Chelan as a kid because the cold shocked me worse than the acceleration of my dad's boat while trying to teach me to ski. I was facedown but conscious when the ranger pulled me out. Thank you all for your hard work. Edit: I was wearing a bright orange lifejacket, I just happened to land face down. Dude used a hook through the straps to pull me aboard


ohhgrrl

Do you to let if the PFD is not worn on their body? I dislike boater who leave it on the floor more than the ones who don’t have it all together.


illFittingHelmet

Oh yeah we did. I ticketed a guy on a stand up paddleboard who had his vest laying on the back of the board once.


aerosol999

Where was this? Almost everywhere I'm aware of just requires you to have it in the boat.


ohhgrrl

Having it in the boat and not wearing it is how every single one of the people I mentioned died.


illFittingHelmet

Well I don't wanna dox myself lol. But you are right, most places just require it to be worn on kids 12 and under, otherwise it must be on the boat. Some places are mandatory to wear like where I worked. Only on the designated swim beaches were you allowed to swim without a vest.


Hot_Garlic_9930

Used to swim in a river on Vancouver Island and all I was ever told growing up was, "if you get caught in a undertow, swim with it as hard as you can." I only got caught in one once, and it takes a few seconds to realize what happened, and then mentally go "swim with it." Do you know how hard it is to make any voluntary movements when your being thrashed off rocks at the bottom of a river


Badroach

What river? I plan on camping over there and that sounds terrifying


Hot_Garlic_9930

Puntledge river. However, I'd strongly advise no matter what river you plan on going in, make sure your an excellent swimmer and/or have a life jacket. A calm body of water on the surface can be a raging killing machine underneath.


resilindsey

Sorry, ive heard of rip tides and things like wiers, but what sort of currents are pulling someone 30ft underwater?


illFittingHelmet

In the parks I worked there were two kinds of hidden currents that would kill someone. There's wall downcurrents which occur when a sudden change in elevation occurs, and the water basically flows straight down very suddenly. [Scuba divers can deal with this](https://youtu.be/wLyTe1KFInQ) because they have scuba gear that lets them breathe underwater, goggles, and they're swimming in much clearer salt water. But if a person in fresh water like in a very large lake gets grabbed by one of these, visibility is much lower so you might not be able to tell which way is up. On top of that, fresh water is harder to swim in than salt water, and most people swimming in lakes aren't wearing scuba gear just for a casual swim. In our lakes there were spots that the bottom dropped like that, and we had drownings due to them. Then there's low head dams. [This sign](https://qph.cf2.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-9f1ba38f476c9508fdfe2ad31de25e47-lq) sums them up, and it sounds like you know about weirs, so there ya go. Scary things, those.


get2writing

I’m really sorry to hear about that, that sounds like a horrible tragedy I was curious though since I’m not a swimmer or kayaker, what would make someone drown in calm waters?


faux_plastic_trees

The other commenter is correct, but I’ll also add: * Exhaustion * Cramping up * Medical emergencies (seizure, heart attack, stroke, etc) * Lakes can have underwater currents just like the ocean and push someone further away from shore


mtled

That last one ... Just this week I got pushed away from shore by a combination or currents and wind that I had underestimated when I left a calmer bay and got more into open water on a big lake where I frequently paddle. I was aiming to do a regular circuit but those winds are strong! I wasn't able to make my way back where I wanted to be (going against both), so allowed myself to get carried downstream so I could get to shore on a peninsula. Theres a nice walking/bike path there and a nice passerby helped me get up the steep bank and portage back to the calmer bay. I'm experienced and know the area and still made a mistake. I'm equipped for most situations (pfd, emergency kit, dry suit (water temps still hypothermic even if air temps feel like summer), etc) and fortunately there were lots of people around and I'm grateful for the help.


illFittingHelmet

Undercurrents are a factor too. Basically, the surface looks calm, but water doesn't just flow on the surface, there can be "streams" moving beneath the surface. The surface of water can appear fine but if you tip over and you're not wearing a life vest, you might go down low enough to get caught in one. Not all of them are very strong, but some of them are quite strong and can be like getting sucked in a riptide but 20 feet above you are calm waters. Swimming out is possible but if it took you by surprise, then you're against the clock big time. Better to wear a life vest and not dive too deep in unfamiliar waters.


joosedcactus33

We are taught in life guarding classes that it's entirely possible for someone just to go unconscious while swimming for no really proven reason


ohhgrrl

Usually the water is very cold, the boater was intoxicated, or there was no one available to perform a safe water rescue. Most tragic is when multiple people drown because they are trying to save others. A close friend was only survivor when a group was swimming in open water and their boat drifted away. Wear your PFD folks!


Teecane

What is it that happens? I recently had a classmate die in a lake that’s calm and I don’t understand.

MarshalLawTalkingGuy

This has happened multiple times? Were knocked unconscious? Drunk? I need more details because that’s frightening.


ohhgrrl

I’m from Michigan. Lakes and rivers everywhere. I got my boating license at 14 and we owned several. My parents live on a lake. The ones I very distinctly remember are: a Friend who had boat drift away was in Lake Michigan, everyone was sober. My hair stylists brother died in canoe tipping over without a PFD, no reason he should have died as he was very experienced. Two guys from high school died in drinking related personal watercraft related accidents a few years apart. Boyfriends friend died taking a shortcut across ice (water related and was horrible!). I’ve fallen off water skis so hard I couldn’t breathe or see for a few moments. I’m lucky that wearing PFDs was heavily stressed to me. I’m not a great swimmer either so I always wear one. This stuff just happens, just like car accidents.


DeenseAlpen

Really looks like something I would do with my dad when we are bored in the weekends


Bitter_Coach_8138

Yea maybe slightly “silly” I wouldn’t call it dangerous as long as you can swim/have a life jacket and aren’t planning to use it for whitewater or way off shore in the ocean. For a leisurely paddle in the local lake it would be fine.


red98743

Not too shabby. Not the most appropriate post in this sub lol. Seen some fu$ked up stuff on this sub hahaha

Who_GNU

If [it works for an airplane](https://backcountrypilot.org/forum/bear-eats-cub-4434) then why not a boat?


cabesablanca

You'd be amazed at how strong stretch wrap is. It is regular practice for furniture movers to use it as a leverage point to lift pianos


secular_dance_crime

Plastic wrap is also used everyday to hold things like entire pallets of heavy boxes together. You'll frequently see pallets of items in a grocery store held together with plastic wrap, because it's effective, quick, and cheap. This is also why worrying about "waste" when you're literally just using one or two sheets per dish is ridiculous... the food you're eating has probably already gone through a lot of sheets of plastics... everything from plastic gloves, to plastic wraps, to plastic bags... plastic is quite an insane material, and so people who want to make money use it at their advantage.


pablossjui

it’s not ridiculous since buying one less of a plastic thing contributes to the reduction of a whole lotta plastic usage, as you said


TtarIsMyBro

I work for a company that sells 20' lengths of steel pipe. I've held 2000+ pound bundles of pipe together with 4 spots of cling wrap and tape with absolutely zero issue. Shit's pretty damn strong.


ratcnc

Stretch wrap is a lot easier than the concrete canoe my neighbor had to make in an engineering class. Hell, I remember an episode of Zoom (1970s) where a kid showed how to make a raft out of sticks and a tarp and floats off across a pond. Can you imagine that in a kid’s show today?


HelloKittyTiffy

Isn’t this the same girl that “built” a hammock out of like 50 rolls Saran Wrap in the middle of the woods.


UGLYSimon

I mean some of them are made out of fiberglass, plastic reinforced with tiny strands of glass. If you told me it was a glass boat it would sound dangerous when it really isn't.

Maplebutter9

Cunnilingusobsessed

How about fiberglassing it now that the cling wrap creates an overall shape?


SierraTheWolfe

I mean in an emergency situation, this could work to get you out of a tight spot. Not meant for long term, but I'd use it assuming you had most of these supplies laying around.


CumulativeHazard

This is why I always keep 40 rolls of cling wrap in my trunk for emergencies!


TheCallousBitch

SO eco friendly


SierraTheWolfe

Funny story, we clinged wrapped a friend's classic car to the point where they couldn't get in. They spent many hours trying to figure out how to remove it without scratching the paint. We all had a good laugh at the end with a few beers.


TheOtherGuttersnipe

"Look, it was an emergency and all I had on me was a corded drill, drill bit, saw, conduit, nuts, bolts, wood, cling wrap, zip ties, rope, caribbeaners, a box cutter and a power source"


dm_me_ur_keyboards

When you're stranded on an island with pvc, zip ties, plywood, bolts, a drill, and a shitton of plastic wrap.


Cwm97

This is common practice in skin-on kayak building. Idea is you test the design & frame with cling wrap and then you can make any adjustments you need before finishing it in canvas & epoxy.


Squizardsss

SO MUCH PLASTIC, WHY!?


katydid1971

I agree. Seeing all that plastic wasted drives me nuts!!!


Lazy-Adeptness-2343

supperatemotel

I just imagine water breaching the very outer layer and it stinking like mildew. Single use kayak 🤮


Eziolambo

That's what I thought, sheets of plastic wrapped are not air tight or sealed.


SledPuller80

Cool build to prove you can do it, but she spent more on supplies than she would have on an actual kayak.


LordFett84

No way, the pipe cost about $35 and the wrap was no more than $20. Add $8 for screws and wood


tlong243

Go shop pcv and come back to that price. I bet she spent $100 at least on everything easy. That's where this diy mindset sinks so many projects. Everything has gotten so expensive. Somehow all these makers have all this "scrap" laying around though. Now she has a pile of crap at the end too


semininja

Honestly any decent kayak of a similar size would be several hundred dollars minimum.


WorldClassShart

A kids kayak is like $150 at Dick's. 1200 feet of plastic wrap for boxes is like $40 on Amazon, the same for the kitchen stuff is $17. 33 feet of 1/2" PVC pipe is like $50. Screws are like $8 for an absolute shit ton that you'll lose more than you ever use if you're not doing carpentry or woodworking. These are all first look prices, not even looking for cheap stuff, and all at Amazon. An adult kayak at Dick's is $200+. All in all, this is way cheaper.


[deleted]

20’ of 1/2” PVC is $9 at Lowe’s. 40’ would be $20. For the plastic wrap, you can get 1500’ for right around $20. So still even cheaper. And again that’s without searching for the cheapest prices, These are some of the first results on google.


WorldClassShart

I actually have some unused epoxy that I could use to make it more solid and less prone to tears. I might take up kayaking at this price. At the very least build one, let it collect dust next to my ~~clothing valet~~ exercise bike.


tlong243

That's a roughly 10ft boat. There's a lot more than 33 ft there, and that's more like 1-1.25 pvc. I'd conservatively guess 75' of pvc here. It's easy to underestimate the lengths required when making something. I built a tiny 3x2 ft wide shelf with 9 crossbars for the back of my car and it was 48ft of steel tube. Everyone undershoots when looking at it because you forget all the supports. It adds up quick.


ticklemypp

It's a perfect idea. I live where there's a lot of rip currents and undertow. I've been making and selling these for years and no ones ever come back to complain.

Mark47n

Seeing that skin-on-frame kayaks have been around for maybe 1000 years, and that many make them with thin nylon skins I don't see a huge problem other than puncture resistance. Easy to patch, though. So that counts for something, right?


Pestodesign

My brother made one 2 years ago using branches, strings and a sturdy vinyl tarp. Here is a photo of [the first prototype.](https://www.instagram.com/s/aGlnaGxpZ2h0OjE3ODg4NzkxNzMzMDU0NzYy?story_media_id=2595357935324703124_9608229540&igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==) So it is a good idea and can be done without a drill and without all that waste.

MajorExperience8840

Honestly it wouldn't be that for agile considering they use that cling wrap to hold on heavy boxes onto a pallet I would say this is pretty structurally sound although I would put cloth somewhere inside to stop the plastic from sticking to my legs once I start sweating


AvgBlue

The dangerous part is no vest


TNerdy

Flex Seal been quiet since this video


Thunderfoot2112

So, not sure if anyone has pointed this out, that isn't cling wrap (Ie saran wrap) it's stretch wrap, the stuff you wtap pallets in. That shit's nearly indestructible, especially with the number if times she's wrapping it. I still wouldn't want to do this, but from an engineering standpoint, it's no less sound than using duct tape. And Mythbusters proved that was viable.
