[#0000ff][size 1]"I wouldn't recommend carrying your craft in a partially inflated or uninflated mode."[/size][/#0000ff]
[black][size 1]Do you mean fully inflated? It seems the frame I made fits perfectly around an old backpack I have (empty of course). I think I found the solution[
]. Fully or partially inflated would mean less work at the launch site. I will try that and see how it feels. From the info I got from Senkonate doesn't seem like their would be much problems with obstructions on the trail. It will all boil down to how far I can get carrying that weight up and sown hills. I'm not a backpacker/hiker, not used to lugging 30+ pounds on my back (guesstimate). I plan on going lite only one rod no sonar, some senkos hooks and a small assortment of lures. Three bottles of water if I can manage, pliers, tube of insect repellant and maybe an energy snack to keep me going. Should be an adventure once I finally get out there.[/size][/black]
