take a tarp and then wrap it 411 00:23:03,583 --> 00:23:05,885 around that basket, which will create 412 00:23:05,918 --> 00:23:10,156 the waterproof membrane; it's called the skin. 413 00:23:10,189

00:23:26,839 I think, really, what his work says is, 420 00:23:26,873 --> 00:23:29,408 "survival of the most adaptable," 421 00:23:29,442 --> 00:23:32,244 and that means being able to roll with
