What an unbelievably crappy site. Whoever built it needs to be shot. All they need to make is worse is blinking text and a flaming logo.

This thing obviously outperforms the competitors. I was sold the second I read the scientific proof they got from, what did they say, twenty five years of testing or so, and I quote:
"Oops... Poof... Pop."
You just can't argue with that.

The real question is, who will be the first backpacker to strap one of these babies to his/her back and hike into a remote lake with it? I dare you.

Popular Mechanics had a article on portable boats a few months ago - I think this was one of the boats featured.

We were wondering over on the musical thread if they made an upright bass that would fold up for backpacking applications.
