Hi Damo – yep, it’s definitely doable, I just don’t offer it as an official option because I haven’t found a reliable zipper supplier. Cheers

Greetings! Great work on your Skeena!

I’m not sure if the seat position will have a noticeable effect on the directional stability, but for comfort, my recommendation would be to start with it as far back as possible and then lengthen the tether if you want to try moving it forward. If you use the stock backrest then you will need to place…[Read more]

Awesome idea! Thanks for posting!

I either sit on the tubes or on a seat slid all the way back, depending on what else is in the packraft and how it all fits. Solo in the 2-Person, I use a kayak paddle – the longest one I have. If I was paddling with another adult, I might choose canoe paddles because it’s less annoying (you don’t smack paddles if the person in the rear stops…[Read more]

I think you’ll find the width of the 2-Person packraft to be as much of an issue as the seat height, and after testing the idea of a kayak-style seat you might change your mind. When paddling solo with a large/heavy load, I actually prefer to sit on the rear tubes because it’s narrower there and you have better visibility and control.

Very cool! If I had a 3D printer I would definitely make one. What kind of plastic did you use?

I tried to figure out what threads are in the valves, but I wasn’t able to find a match. The same threads are in valves from at least two different sources, so it might be a Boston valve thing.

No problem!

In the meantime, I’ve changed it to bold text and added another bullet to the list.

Don’t worry – that’s normal. It looks like you’re doing a good job. Sorry for the confusion.

The answer to your question is directly below the text you quoted – it’s even referred to by the asterisk in the quoted section 🙂

Since switching to the 450 GSM floor fabric, I get this question a lot, so I keep moving the information, thinking “Now…[Read more]

Gorgeous photos! Thanks for posting!

Great idea! I find that the weight of the iron’s cord sometimes drags the light aluminum stand off my table – this would certainly solve that problem!

Impressive work – thanks for documenting your project! It’s very cool! I’m sure other people will want to follow your lead.

Fantastic!

Don’t worry – if you do a good job sealing the remaining 1″ of fabric to the floor it will be more than strong enough. I design the overlaps to be much wider than necessary for a strong bond, and even half the width there is more than strong enough, assuming proper heat sealing technique over the entire weld. Sealing the cut-off piece of fabric to…[Read more]
