About LinkBacksThese look very cool. 2.2kg and packs down to a two person tent size, get a nice lightweight 4 piece carbon paddle and you would be sorted to hunt up a river, stash the raft/paddle, hit the tops, shoot some shit and raft out....
heaps of videos on youtube, they look tough as hell. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bKNb9Wi4kgw

Saw one of these at the Hollyford road end last year. The girl who was paddling it has a huge backpack strapped on top as well. Looks like a bloody nice bit of kit.
Keep an eye on Tardme, seen a couple come up when tourists leave the country.Viva la Howa ! R.I.P. Toby | Black rifles matter... | #illegitimate_ute

Looks fun and would be bloody handy.
It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
Rule 5: Check your firing zone
Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

The wetsuit, buoyancy aid and stack hat would add a bit of weight and bulk tho!

They look very unstable. Fun though.
There are only three types of people in this world. Those that can count, and those that can't!

Spent many years as a Rafting guide, or I'll say is when it goes bad it goes bad fast.

They might be good for running down a river but I wouldn't want to cross a lake w one. I prefer my Canadian, tho I concede it's not fun to port off the water
