Hello /out/. I'm looking to build a small portable boat or kayak to carry with me to remote lakes in the mountains next to where I live. Anybody have any suggestions on what to build? Looking to make something as compact as the one shown in this video:

How much weight are you willing to carry? I made one of these a while back, but adult size. Weighs a ton with the materials I used but I overbuilt it and was being a cheapskate.

Also made something like your picture once but longer. It works OK, but I'd stick to flat water with it, and it only folds in half so it's not really that protable.

I'm looking to carry around 200 pounds. I need to make something lightweight because most of these lakes take 5-10 mile hikes to get to.

I was thinking how heavy can the boat be. Lightweight means pricier materials, but people have made some pretty light folding boats. Look at this page for some ideas:

What about something like this?

I know it is inflateable, but seems pretty dureable.
