<p style=”text-align: left;”>Here are some things I learned and ideas from my Green 2P build .</p>

I personally preferred aquaseal fd over seam grip. I sealed every tube and floor seam on the inside only and used a 1-1.5cm wide application of sealant.

I installed the Boston valve and zipper using the recommendations however I moved the zipper…[Read more]

Here are some pics of my green 2P DIY Packraft. I haven’t seen too many finished 2P photos or packrafts in the newer green color and I wanted to share them. (You have permission to use the photos Matt) To start off let me say I love the color especially contrasted with black trim. This project was one of the most challenging projects I have t…[Read more]

Awesome! Thanks again for the feedback, Sylvain 😀

That’s awesome! Congratulations, Jim, and thanks for posting!

I had the pleasure of finally meeting Bruce and his family recently – what a great guy!

I’m excited to report that I was able to take my new Skeena out on the water for the first time yesterday. I took the spring class through the Folk School in Fairbanks, Alaska with Bruce Campbell. The kit that Matt provides is great, and his instructions and videos go above and beyond. Combine that with the knowledge that Bruce has from building…[Read more]

I’ve completed my first Skeena build in +/- 45 hrs (I took my time, but could have done this a bit faster though with better wooden forms, I’ll get back to it below), it steadily holds air for 2–3 days in a row without deflating more than one (very) little breath! So very happy with the result.

(the zipper might seem off but it’s not the 50cm on…[Read more]

I’ve forked the previously-shared top-up nozzle and made a 3D printed inflation valve adapter for the inflation bag, to use instead of the pipe:

Excellent work, and great ideas! Thanks for sharing, Kaytree!

I received an assortment of adapters with a new Flextail pump I got through Aliexpress. I took apart another boston valve and just attached it so I can screw this in to my raft when it’s time to inflate. Need to be a bit fast when it’s done to swap out the valve insert, but it allows for no hands inflation.

I finished up my Skeena build much more quickly than the Atlin. Probably about 20 hours or so. Second time through was much easier. I went for a simple, small boat this time and omitted the TZip. I really like the color!

I figured having a second boat would be helpful if I wanted to bring a friend with. Also I joked with some canoe friends of…[Read more]

Cool! Great idea!

Simple new project for today. Used 250GSM fabric to make a phone pouch for an Anfibio inflatable lifejacket.

Sits inside the chest area, velcro closure with webbing pull handles.

Above is a new roll of that UHMWPE thread I like.
