I recently added roll-top drybag kits to the DIY Packraft shop. I designed the drybags with a diameter of about 23 cm (9″) so they will fit inside a packraft’s side tubes, and they’re fairly long, with a usable volume of about 33 litres each.

Assembling one of these drybags is a good introduction to all of the heat sealing techniques used in making a DIY Packraft, so people who are interested in making a packraft but aren’t confident about their abilities can try it out with something that costs much less than a full packraft kit.

The kits contain everything you need except an iron, and they’re designed so that you could use a household iron to assemble them if you don’t want to purchase a dedicated heat sealing iron.

There’s a full assembly video in the instructions, and the instructions are not password protected.

The drybags are available in three different colors and two different fabric weights – check them out in the shop here.
