It looks like my previous response got lost… hmmm 🙁

Awesome posts! Could you send me a picture or drawing of your changes to the spray skirt? I’m happy to change the design if that would make it more useful. I was also testing a version of your thigh straps here before freeze-up, and a more forward seating position.

One thing I noticed with…[Read more]

I’m not aware of anyone having tried this, so if you do, please let us know how it goes. Thanks!

That looks like it would work if the temperature specifications are accurate. With its small foot it would be slower than a leather iron. If you try it and it does work, please let us know!

Cool – sounds good!

Thanks, Clay – I use a 360 degree action camera on the end of my trekking pole. The camera captures video of everything around it, and then I frame the shots when I’m editing at home. The trekking pole disappears from the shot because it’s hidden in the stitch line between the camera’s two lenses.

It takes some experimenting to figure out the…[Read more]

Wow, that’s fantastic! Thanks for the update, and please let us know if it does or doesn’t hold up over time. Cheers

Thanks for the picture and more info. I haven’t heard of anyone trying the Seam Grip trick, but I was going to suggest something similar. At this point, I don’t think you have much to lose, unfortunately. If the Seam Grip doesn’t work, you could also try scraping a bunch of TPU off of some scrap fabric and melting it into the divot (after cleaning…[Read more]

Is the spot you’re describing where bubbles form if you put soapy water on it? I just want to make sure it’s not leaking somewhere else. One full breath every 30 minutes is about 2 ml per second, so the bubbles should be fairly noticeable.

Would you be able to post a picture? You might be able to carefully shave off a bit of the melted plastic if…[Read more]

Thanks for posting – the black Atlin looks really cool! You’re ready for some special ops now. I’ve been waffling back and forth about offering black as one of the standard options for the reason you mentioned.

I’ve made that dinosaur head (haha!) mistake myself, so don’t sweat it. Your boat still looks great!

Thanks for posting, Clyde – it looks like you did a great job! And thanks for logging your time and showing the final weight – that’s really useful. Cheers!

Thanks for posting this! Cheers

I love it!

The Greek letters remind me of all those physics classes I took…

Great work, Clyde, and thanks for the feedback about your experience! It looks like you have a beautiful playground there for adventures, so enjoy!

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!

I can’t really see this as being a problem, but an email to Alpacka might set your mind at ease.
