    Not trying to kill your raft building plan, but have you considered buying a cheap rubber boat? If not interested in that I would suggest saving all the styrofoam you can. It will really help float your raft and will be useful for many other things down the road.

    Thanks Benesse... not sure why I thought there was only one page there?

    Kudos for pulling the trip off! Awesome pictures... bet those shrooms put the trip in an entirely different perspective LOL

    This is not the first time that Payne said he is going to do something...and everyone says he shouldn't...and then he done does it. I am not going to second guess him next time and just try to give him meaningful advice on how to help him accomplish his goal. He seams determined enough, and skilled enough.

    Well you can't blame us for being skeptics. But Payne has certainly proven that he's a boot in the field type of guy. So now, I can't wait to hear how his Chalet adventure goes.
    Why do I live in Alaska? Because I can.

    It is certainally refershing to see one in 100 actually do what he said he was going to do....asked advice, took it, and continued on.
    Some things he found out didn't work, some things did, but still pressed on, with a little thought, planning and even the ability to laugh at himself a little.

    Kudos young man,...You will go far.

    Well, it looks like it's time to beat this thing to the ground!
    Next trip is a 1400km kayak-expedition from Skagway to Vancouver Island!
