Hi Eric, now that I’ve gotten rid of the offcuts I had accumulated over several years, the offcuts and seconds are rarely in stock (like only a few units added to the shop every few months).

There are three reasons, the first being that I include more of the scrap fabric with the packraft kits than I used to, the second being that I have some…[Read more]

Wow, Eric – having done this myself, I know how much work you put into it! Great result – thanks for sharing!

Agreed, it sounds like UltraLight is the way to go for you. I added a few attachment points to mine and its 1050grams so less than 2 pounds. I don’t think a thicker floor would do much for it other than add weight. A chain is only as strong as its weakest link and with the air-holding tubes still mostly made up of UL fabric, that’s where your…[Read more]

Outstanding! I’m so glad the rod holders worked out. Great work, and thanks for sharing! It looks like you’ve already been to some stunning places. Cheers

I have completed my build of the Ultralight Packraft with fishing rod holders added.  The build went much quicker than I expected and I had it completed in about three weeks.  I worked on it on nearly a daily basis and was thrilled to have it ready to bring along on a backpacking trip to Flapjack Lakes in Olympic National Park this past w…[Read more]

You’re welcome, good luck with the build, I found it a lot of fun . And really satisfying and versatile on the water, adventure awaits!

Placed the order for the Atlin! Thanks @BobDep for your help!

I second BobDep’s advice 🙂
