Matt (Admin) replied to the topic DIY Dry Bag Score Line Mistake in the forum DIY Packrafts 1 week, 2 days ago
Hi troc, thanks for the feedback – I will try to make that more obvious.
I think it will be easier if you simply trim off the red fabric and make a sandwich like you described. Remember you will need to extend the strip past the edges of the bag so you can attach the buckle. If you’ve trimmed the end flush with the edge of the bag, you can splice…[Read more]

troc started the topic DIY Dry Bag Score Line Mistake in the forum DIY Packrafts 1 week, 2 days ago
I just received my first kit. I separated the scored portions at the bottom of the bag, but I didn’t realize the top was also scored until after I attached the 2 sided TPU ribbon piece. I don’t have quite enough of the ribbon to redo it on the correct part. Is it a better idea to weld the other side of the ribbon to the bag’s top (creating a…[Read more]

mttgilbert replied to the topic Paddling flatwater with a dog in the forum DIY Packrafts 1 week, 4 days ago
I made the two person for my dog (55lb english lab) and I plus camping gear and I’ve really liked it. There’s plenty of space and weight capacity. I have a closed cell foam piece cut to fit the front of the boat for the dog (simple blue closed-cell sleeping pad, which doubles as the dogs bed in camp).
I was hesitant about the canoe style sea…[Read more]

Hi Sam,
Other than the Ultralight, any model will handle a 50 lb dog without popping. For alpine lakes, I would probably choose an Atlin (the largest size), because it’s wider in the foot area so there’s more room to share between the two of you. If you were going to be paddling with the pup for hours at a time, I’d consider a Skeena XL for even…[Read more]

I’m in love with my Alpacka Wolverine for whitewater, but I’m interested in building one of your packrafts to be able to paddle on alpine lakes and quiet rivers with my dog, Lucy, who weighs about 50 lbs. I’m not looking to pack a lot of gear, though I guess I might have a backpack, if I’ve hiked in somewhere with the boat.
– Do you recommend…[Read more]

Ended up ordering one from Alibaba just to play with it. Will probably glue on a removable MRS skeg and use it for quick paddles on the lake before making it the packraft I give to my nieces and nephews when they visit
