How to Make a Cardboard Boat in a Flash Flood

This cardboard boat will be used in a Flash flood. Flash flood is a very fast flood and the water gets up very fast and it ends fast but because it is fast trees and much big stuff will come to the road and the light will go off to so if a Flash flood happens you need to be prepared. So that is why I am going to show you how to make a cardboard boat in the fastest way possible.

**This instructable is for when a Flash flood comes.**

For the supplies, you will not need to buy anything because this tool and item will be in your house. The supplies you will need is

• 1 pair of Scissors
• 2 Tennis Rackets
• At least 2 rolls of duct tape(You can have more than 2 Duct Tape)
• 2 Plastic bags, eight 500ml Pet bottles
• Four 2l Pet bottles
• As much cardboard as possible.

These are the supplies you need to make a cardboard boat.

The first step is very simple. Get cardboard, open all the parts of the cardboard.

This triangular prism is the front part of the boat. I thought that we needed to make balance on the front and the back. In this picture, it has a drawing to make a triangular prism so if you make the exact same one with duct tape to stick the piece. Next, fold the pieces that are surrounding the base then tape it with duct tape then your finish making the triangular prism.

Making the square prism is almost the same as making the triangular prism. First, make the exact same thing that is drawn on the picture check the measurement too. Then next fold it in the middle then you can make a square prism with the top open.

The next step you need to stick the trianguar prism and the square prism to balance the boat and when you are goinh to stick them use many tape so it wont fall off.

First of an oar is the thing you hold and let the boat move when you move it in the water and you will need that because if you are stuck somewhere then you will need to use your hands but if there is something sharp in the water you will get hurt. You will need a tennis racket and cardboard. In the tennis racket there is a net and if you use that as an oar the water will go out so the boat will not move and that is why you will need cardboard. Stick the cardboard on top on the net and on the back as well then you have made an oar. Let's move on to the next step.

For the boat to float you need air in it and a pet bottle will be a great way to float your boat, you will need to stick this pet bottle on both the right and the left sides of the boat. Stick 4 500ml pet bottles on each side then you're done.

Next, you will need to stick 2 2l pet bottles on the front of the boat and 2 2l pet bottles on the back of the boat.

Now you finish making a cardboard boat and you can use this when a flash flood comes, and if you have a big plastic bag put it on the cardboard boat because it can be your waterproof item.

This will be a warning. When you look at these pictures check the measurements because if you mistake a measurement the boat will not be stable. Another warning is to not mistake the size of the pet bottle. Thank you and good luck.
