Survived. About 3 km hiking and 4km paddling, which is a lot for this kind of boat. Very cold overnight, which made it incredibly foggy for the morning trip back. I could barely see. Cool, but also kinda scary.

@mattiem wow! Did you carry the boat in the hike?
@huwr Yeah it’s made to be portable. It definitely comes with a lot of tradeoffs, but makes it possible to travel on foot and water.
@mattiem how do you inflate it? Do you just huff and puff?

@huwr That blue thing on the right is an inflation bag. Scoop air, give it a big squeeze. Surprisingly not that hard!

The tougher bit is packing/unpacking. The boat had an airtight zipper and you can store stuff inside. It’s awesome, but kind of a chore.

@mattiem I would probably contrive of a weird way to plop out of the boat during the journey
@huwr Not recommended
