Yes, it will work so long as there are not any EXTENDED tight vertical squeezes. If the squeezes are not too long you can remove your back mounted tube and work your way around slowly, bringing the tube behind you. I like to have both hands free when backpacking an inflated tube over rugged terrain, to help with balance, landing and dangers. You can rig tie downs on your tube for just about anything (rods, fins, small hand pump, etc.) by using 18 guage insulated solid core copper wire. Make sure sharp metal points are not protruding the insulation, or that you bend points back. A lightweight folding walking stick helps with climb/balance and varmits. I've easily done 1.5 miles with my ODC 420L with the back straps over sections of very rough terrain.

Have a back lake picked out for the spring opener. It's about a 3/4 mile walk over some rough terrain. My outcast prowler wont fit in any backpack I know of. I was thinking of blowing it up and somehow carrying on my back since the walk isnt too far..has anyone done this?[/quote]
