Hello Packrafts Builders.
I have started a DIY project related to Packrafts. I’m building a life raft/rescue raft. Similar to the ones used in aviation. But I want it more packable and maybe more focused on sustaining 1-2 person. So a hybrid Packraft/life raft.
(I’m right now figuring out the best self-inflating mechanism. There is the popular CO2 canister and a painter(string you pull to release the CO2) but there is also a new science revolving a mix of chemicals that creates CO2 when released/mixed..)
Build:
I think a round shape would be most efficient?
Maybe I could use 210d nylon and put pockets on the inside to place the self-inflation in. Then make the valve tight with a string you pull to release the chem.. maybe add something like a tizip so you can refill the CO2 pockets and re-attach the string from the inside after use..
Do anyone have ideas, comments, knowledge to share?
