as if there werent enough uses for my tarp already

i agree definitely not for cold weather or class fives but i think it would be an interesting way to get out to the middle of a lake if the fishing just isnt happening inland. or if you need to get far down stream quick.

That looks like something Bear Grylls would advocate...

:thumbup: haha it kinda does
This boat is intended for flat water use and not for use in white water. One reason for this is if the boat was crushed against a rock, the frame could collapse or brake pinning you in the boat and preventing you from swimming to safety and possibly drowning you.

that page has been around for well over a decade.

i've never been curious to try it, but i'm in the desert SW so not a lot of water around to play in.

because of the potential consequences if the things isn't fairly watertight i'm more interested in their geodome shelters and other shelter structures where a little leak won't have the potential to be quite so catastrophic.
 
Not really as cool, but I made a somewhat successful water vehicle and floated it down a river. Launching and landing were tough on the tarp. Mine also wasn't quite big enough to float all 190 pounds of me-the edge of the craft was only barely above the water, and if I shifted I would ship water.
