Currently building an UL and really enjoying it. The 115 GSM TPU is much easier for me to work with compared with the 250 GSM used with the Skeena. The thinner, more translucent material allows me to visually gauge the weld and so provides more confidence in the overall quality of the build. It’s also faster to assemble as the heat from the iron…[Read more]

Hi
Awesome site! Looking forward to building many rafts (currently ordered 2 UL, 1 for wife and 1 for me for hiking with but will later order tougher versions for bike rafting).
Great to have a community to ask questions, and see new ideas, and read trips planned or already travelled!

New user here just starting out on a Skeena build (a kit someone else imported but didn’t start the build other than separating out the parts). Looking forward to getting on with it and exploring the Scottish Highlands.

thanks matt, that’s very reassuring. I’ll get to the end of assembly then decide on the best course of action.

I thought I’d share some posts of my completed summer project (Skeena).
Testing on the river by my home:

First outing in the Lake District NP (U.K.): my girlfriend and I hiked over Place Fell and down the other side. I paddled and she did a trail run back to the car…


Our first overnight tour was across Rannoch Mor. We caught the train f…[Read more]

@FJ Guy: I would order a cheap Leather Iron of Aliexpress like this: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32833241758.html It works really great and I think better than those Coverite Irons.

Hi, I’m not a bot.
I’ve done many packraft trips using borrowed Alpacas, it’s time for me to build a Telkwa. I’ll definitely be buying a kit in Jan 2021.
Thanks 🙂

Hi, any updated Daanivd? How does it handle after a year, any issues?
I am also considering installing one to my Rogue.
Best,

Hi, I’m on the email list for a Skeena and I managed to find a used Coverite Black Baron on fleabay for cheap. Hopefully it works otherwise I’ll just order one of those Prolux digital irons. I have an Alpacka Llama being made but I would like to make a packraft on my own. Looks like a fun project.
