Hello guys, so i need some tips and tricks about travelling with raft.
So me and my friend are planing to go down to river with log raft, any experience about building it or travveling with it?
This river is pretty calm nothing crazy.

Like how big it should be for one person?
And if steering plank is necesery or i can use a long stick u steer?

I'd want my raft to have sun protection at least. use plastic barrels instead of logs. And two by fours for the decking. One cubic foot of buoyancy is enough force to hold up 100 pounds. There is 7.48 gallons in a cubic foot. So a 55 gallon plastic barrel can float 735lbs (do include the barrels weight in your calculations.) 8 foot 2x4 weighs about 13 pounds.

So assuming you and your friend are 200lbs or under. That leaves you
335 pounds to build on. On a single 55gallon drum. Of course a single 55 is hard to build on and most go with say six, three on each side.. That leaves you rougly about 4010 pounds.

I'm not an engineer. But I build all sorts of boats and floaty things..

Rafts are easy to build and are unsinkable but they are slower than walking. Expect to cover 5 miles a day.

If you hear banjos, paddle faster.
