What is a raft?

There are two kinds of rafts.One is an inflatable plastic raft that you fill with air.However, the more historical meaning of raft is a humanly constructed platform which floats. People normally cut down trees to use logs, because logs float. They needed to tie the logs together with vines, twine, or rope. If tied correctly, the platform of logs would float long enough to cross a river, for example.It can also be the source of a great story. My friends and I had quite possibly the best trip down river ever when we built a homemade raft. Check out the link How to Build a Raft-How to Make a Homemade Raft in the related links section to read about my story.
