We bought the babies life jackets and a boat! How can you beat $12.29 on Amazon prime? The idea is for more playtime at the water even when water isn't warm enough for them to stay in very long. Plus a comfy place to hang out.

MIL called to apologize last night for yesterday. I really appreciate the gesture. But the way she delivered the apology and the fact that problems keep happening make me still less enthusiastic about the babies being there all day every day with my husband once I'm back at work.

I recommend this raft.

They have no place in 3D printing. For a model with limited contact space, a brim is far better and wastes far less filament. For a model with a large contact area, a brim may not even be necessary, and a raft will give a very bad surface.

In general, rafts bad.

I was out there about a week ago for a couple nights. You will encounter a decent amount of mud and can expect your feet to get completely submerged at multiple points. That said, it's a unique trail for Texas and can be a lot of fun. As far as the stubblefield bridge being out, I didn't want to risk crossing it. When I arrived it looked safe to go across, but there were multiple signs stating that you could face jail time if you went on it. I know the chance of getting caught was minimal, I just didn't want to risk it so I turned around. Other than that, I had a great time out there, but it's getting to the point where the humidity and bugs are getting oppressive. You should definitely try to time your hike with a cold front.

I'm so desperate to do a thru hike that I have considered buying an ultralight packraft, caching a canoe at the closed bridge, or bushwacking around the lake to the north. I'll most likely have to wait till next year so hopefully the pedestrian section of the bridge is legal to cross by then.

Anyone know if an inflatable fishing boat is something to take down the river? Specifically, this one.

Wife and I have never gone down it, but we've had this boat for several years now. Any idea where a good place to start would be?

u/Xistin · 2 pointsr/Tipper

yeah I'm so excited for the lake parties! this is what i'm trying to be posted in with the crew during it lolol

u/numlok · 2 pointsr/lifehacks

This is the classic version of the idea.

I have a small 27' boat, and was struggling with finding a good dingy. I needed something small enough to deflate a stow aboard, but big enough for two people and the dog. I ended up settling in this one: HydroForce Caspian 7'7" Inflatable Boat https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CC8ZXTQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_m2--ybHYGPGD2 . It's worked well for me so far, and I'd recommend the boat. It has low freeboard, so you can get wet when it's choppy, but it also has good structure that makes it easier to row.

After a few months of research, I decided to go with one of these over a kayak:

I mostly fish small lakes, rivers and ponds. The locals around here that use these kick boats run circles around the kayakers. Google Colorado xt modifications to get an idea of what these are capable of. For an extra $200 you can get a new Minn Kota trolling motor and 12v marine battery...

u/FluffyBunny_001 · 1 pointr/packrafting

Could always go with the Klymit Litewater Dinghy

I had a 1976 hunter 25 last year and had the same concerns you have. I went on a 10 day trip in the San Juan with my girlfriend and I picked up the hydro force Caspian. It is definitely small but I'm 6'3 about 200lbs and she is 5'2 at about 120 and we were fine even with gas cans and groceries.

A hard transom was important because I had a little 2 horse engine I put on it. The hydro for e was the best priced and has held up well. It rolls up compact and takes about 5 min to deploy. We usually deflated but also towed it without any trouble. With anything like this I would make sure not to leave it out too much uncovered as the UV will break down any PVC tender. Or alternatively get some 303 aerospace Protestant and apply.

Good luck!

Intex Excursion 5 Inflatable Rafting and Fishing Boat with Oars + Motor Mount https://www.amazon.com/dp/B007OM7AVE/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_yOB0Cb1X1T053

Here’s an inflatable raft with oars for under $150

But the willingness to pay $40 extra for supreme brand makes you a cornball hypebeast. Gag. Supreme isn’t unique, it’s like the definition of conformist

u/snowflyer · 1 pointr/sailing

If you plan on doing more of this cruising stuff, yes you should pick up a dinghy. I would look at an inflatable so you can deflate and stow on board as towing, esp for your boat, does take a bit of energy. If you're not sure this is for you, you could 'get by' with something like this:
http://www.amazon.com/Stansport-Waterfowl-Motor-Mountable-Inflatable/dp/B00495PS2C/ref=sr_1_9?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1395717458&sr=1-9&keywords=stansport+boat

but realize that this is a toy but will certainly give you an idea. You could also CL one:

I just got this yesterday to tow behind my kayak with a cooler and some gear. I haven't taken it out of the box yet, but people have used it for this in the reviews with no problems. So fingers crossed, I'm taking it overnighting this weekend on the Chattahoochee south of Atlanta.

It weighs 4 lbs and costs 14 bucks. If you are willing to blow it up, you can just throw your stuff in the raft and drag it across

u/germanic_gerbil · 1 pointr/kayamping

Ended up ordering this guy and towed it around for about half an hour today. There's a noticeable difference but it didn't kill me. I think for shorter distances it'll work.

u/_Raven_ · 1 pointr/AskReddit

Yeah, you can get yourself a kickin' raft with an onboard computer system, and still have plenty money left over for a lot of grub and water inside little packets

u/petsyart · 0 pointsr/Ultralight

You could try it out with the more budget friendly albeit heavier version
