Күн бұрынIt's been a couple of years since I made an intro DIY Packraft video, so I thought it was time for an update!

Before clicking the video: raised eyebrow and highly suspicious... After watching the video: already have two packrafts but now I need another. That was immensely fun to watch! I love being surprised and have my assumptions proved wrong, and boy did that happen here! Going to look into this seriously now, thanks a bunch!!

Should seriously look in to making 1 and 2 man stealth tents for stealth campers. they go for lots of money, and to be able to make your own custom one is most stealth campers dream!

Hello, came across your channel and I must say it’s very interesting. I wonder what your thoughts on various types of fabrics? TPU nylon 210D, 420D, 840D, and 1000D PVC. Then there’s companies like Kokopelli that uses a blend of of 210D TPU nylon blended with Kevlar! Is one more or durable than another with weight advantages? For example is a 210D TPU with Kevlar more durable than a 420D TPU? Thanks in advance.

Hi. My IKEA table never got assembled because of frustration during the process. I have done some work on myself since then including meditation, eating more healthy and getting more exercise. I can now make DIY boiled eggs almost without frustration. Do you think DIY packraft is for me? Thank you!

Haha! I think the ability to feed yourself regularly is a necessary but not sufficient condition.

Hello, friend! I was wondering whether the largest of your kits fits me. I am 205cm tall and have no idea if the 140cm version is large enough or if it's going to be really tight in there

Thanks for your interest in a DIY Packraft! On the website, please go to the FAQ and click, “What size DIY Packraft should I choose?” That page explains how to measure yourself to see if you will fit.

@@ec6052 yeah, it is really good. But it is a fair amount of time to build it, which is outlined on the website. I made mine slowly over a period of weeks (fitting in around other things) so didn't seem too onerous!

Would a clear bottom be possible?
@DIYPackraft 3 жыл бұрын
Possible yes, but I don’t offer it as an option, so you’d be on your own figuring out how to make it. It would be a lot weaker than a fabric floor.
