Earl's Duct Tape Canoe That Actually Floats

Earl's Duct Tape Canoe That Actually Floats

Earl from Paducah, Kentucky used 87 rolls of industrial duct tape over a cardboard and PVC frame to build a 14-foot canoe. He paddled it across Kentucky Lake on a calm Saturday morning, covering three miles before pulling it ashore — completely dry inside. The local paper ran it on the front page.
