Nutria are rodents that were first brought to America to be farmed for their thick fur. Now they're hunted for their meat, but to find them, Thorn has to head downriver to the marshlands. Fortunately for me, I already have a boat; I'm just trying to make it actually river-worthy. The problem is that it's been over a year since I built this, and so this is like a resurrection.

There are two really large holes that are going to need patching. What I'd like to do is make some pine pitch glue, but I want to do it in a large volume, so I'm gonna make a kiln where I can cook a lot of pine hearts. I think that'll work. Here we go!

Every single time I've gone onion this year, it's hit or miss really, and I know Delia is depending on this food. So this nutria hunt is really a chance to show Delia that I can get meat when I say that I'm gonna get it. Just have to let this get really hot.

Here comes some! As that resin heats up, it becomes liquid, and it comes out. Then it'll run down into the ramp and then go into the cut. Once I've got the pitch in my pitch pot, I can then stir in charcoal, and that'll make it stronger, and I can make glue.

The coracle, or a bull boat, is a pretty ancient design. Basically, the idea is that a person just makes a basket, and you put a hide right over it. Hopefully, pine pitch glue will make a waterproof patch, and I won't be taking on water through all these holes. The only time I'm going to find out if it works is when it gets put in the water, so I just have to see what happens.
