It has now been a couple of weeks of dialing in my Skeena! I’ve used Matt’s awesome all-around platform to create a more whitewater-savvy self-bailing boat with a backband, full-length inflatable floor for stability and edging, and a foot pillow. I’m super happy with how the boat has performed thus far in my local whitewater park and a few river…[Read more]

Hmm, the picture doesn’t really show the whole piece, but from what I can see, it looks like it could work. If you want a new black rectangle then I can make one for free – you’ll just need to pay the shipping cost. Send me an email with your current address if that’s what you’d like to do, or carry on with the red. Cheers

I accidentally cut out holes in my future watertight zipper rectangle patch. Do you think I have enough fabric in this red tube fabric (my largest remaining scrap)? Should I request some replacement fabric instead? Or is there another way I can manage this mistake?

Off-Grid Heat Sealing Irons
I’ll admit I was skeptical when forum member @oldcanuck first emailed to say he was planning to try powering his fabric welding iron the […]-
Hello Matt … and welcome back.
I hope my design can help others who also live off-grid know that they can build a diypackraft, with a hand-made seam sealing iron!
Living with solar power for an electrical source, the thought of running a power hungry electric iron for dozens of hours had me thinking there must be a way to use my wood stove to heat a tool, of some sort, for seam sealing. It’s the temperature control of the wood stove that is key. I heat my 900sqft cabin home, cook meals, bake wirh my Nectre 350 Bakers Oven and now for a new challenge, make a couple of Matt’s Skeena kits. I figure it’s worth a try!
