I just finished my 5th DIYpackraft (one V3, three Telkwas) and now my first Skeena. I found the process is getting easier but it still takes me about 35 hours. This one held air very tightly overnight despite 4 of the tiniest leaks in various places. The biggest mistake I made was using the Ty-zip location for the Telkwa instead of the Skeena. I wanted the Ty-Zip lower on the side but I forgot to take into account for the Telkwa’s higher, wrap-around floor when making the measurements. I think that will put the Skeena Ty-Zip under the water line when in use. That should not matter as long as the zipper stays tight and I don’t drag the zipper pull on rocks or debris.
