Inspiration Station: DIY plastic bottle kayak

/

Forget signal flares and coconut radios. Next time you're stranded on a desert island (which will inevitably have washed-ashore trash on its beaches), utilize the empty plastic bottles around you and save yourself.

This kayak, built for a recycled boat race, is significantly cheaper than the ones featured at your local outdoors store, a great conversation piece, and a wonderful study in recycling. Learn how to make your own

here.

Many thanks to Ali Carter for tipping us off to this DIY plastic bottle kayak
