It is made without keel. Their interior was selected or burned. Perhaps clouds began to be made with the development of metal, that is, about 3 thousand years ago, choosing the inside of the trunk with the help of burning or stone and bone tools [2] .

Making a Cloud
It is made of large pieces of wood ( cedar , aspen , poplar - sedge ), tar (filled with tar) [3] up to 4 meters or more. After the tree is dumped, the desired piece is chopped off, depending on how many people the future vessel is designed for. Two sweeps of hands - flakes for one person [2] . In May, the “geese-ducks fly” period began. This is the most suitable time for choosing a boat blank - buds appear in the trees. The tree is selected on dry, elevated places. It is advisable to choose a trunk with a deflection - the curved side will be the bottom of the future region. The bottom of the boat is slightly flattened.
In order not to split the wood, the region is made in the shade, and when they make a stop at work, the surface of the boat is covered with moss, birch bark or tarpaulin. Tools for manufacturing: adze , beam drill, ax . An ax is cut along the entire length of the boat and the middle of the trunk is selected. To maintain balance in the boat, make sure that the walls of the boat are the same thickness. To do this, drill the entire flake evenly from the outside with an onion drill and drive the pegs “into the index finger of the one who will swim” (up to 200 pieces). So that the pegs are of the desired length, a plank is cut out in which holes are drilled - exactly as many as pegs and how many holes in the cloud. Sticks are driven into the holes and cut off on both sides. The board is rubbed with soot on one side, the pegs are knocked out and driven with their painted side inside the cloud. Tesla is taken out of the wood until the moment when the colored pegs appear.
The sides of the boat are bred by steaming and expanding the sides with the installation of permanent struts. Unsuccessful splits, cracks were simply filled with wood tar (in later times - with tar ).
“The boat cracks at the inept master, then it is sewn together with a cedar root, and the cracks are filled with resin. But a good master will not smash a dugout boat: it must be light so that it can be worn on the shoulder. " [four]
The new region is visible on water, so it is rubbed with a mixture of soot with pine or fir resin. Brought to amazing perfection, the chisel glides silently on the water, controlled by only one oar, without a keel. The length of the oar from spruce length from 1 to 1.5 m.
Interesting information
Stalin, being in the Narym exile , was trained there to swim in the region, after which he illegally left the place of exile. The local police couldn’t believe: Georgians - and in the region?
