You da man! Now THAT's what I'm talkin' about. Of course, going up stream might give us a heart attack or something. Maybe one with a small engine. Something that could actually move the weight.

Well, i've got 18 canoes, 12 kayaks, and 9 rafts, so I think I am pretty set for any boating survival situation

Hmm, I would say this is a good bet if your stationary at a digs.. but what about packing it in? I have seen and heard of folding frame boats that have stretched over fabric hulls.. seen those in the stores at one time too. I would think that packing the plywood boat in would be awkward.
I watched this old guy once build a canoe using alder's and canvas. The tarp had been cut and stitched in the shape of a canoe. He said his father used it for prospecting and trapping in th 1940's. At any rate it worked very well.
1. If it's in your kit and you don't know how to use it....It's useless.
2. If you can't reach your kit when you need it....Its useless.

During WWII, they made a canvas boat to float jeeps across small river too deep to ford. They weren't used a lot but they worked.

Speaking of survival boats.. has anyone ever built and/or used a coracle? I am wondering about the stability of those. They look easy to build but I imagine that they are time consuming to do so.
