It’s been a while since our last boat update, thanks to our side business keeping us flat out. (We discussed that in the last episode) Our apologies, but we hope you understand.
In this video, the frames are finally all in place, and we’ve just installed the chine stringer and the first of many hull stringers—big steps toward bringing this John Welsford 'Pathfinder' design to life. There's some handy techniques for transferring lengths and angles from the project to wood for spot-on cuts, I share my thoughts on the upside to laminating the stringers and a few challenges we wrestled with this time around.

FREE PROVISIONING GUIDE
Pascale has put together a FREE 40 page Provisioning Guide. The Guide explains and provides examples of how we can travel eating a variety of healthy and delicious meals for up to 6 months at a time on our tiny boat with no resupply. There has never been a better time to start learning how to increase the food storage potential of your home. I hope this guide will inspire you to make more informed long term provisioning choices for the future!
