I recently got a klymit dinghy, basically the next step up from one of these. It's nice to be able to get out on the water anywhere since it's so easy to carry, it's slow as fuck though. I went on my first ever river float with it too also, the Snake River in the Tetons during high snowmelt flow (~7000cfs), somehow both it and I survived but not sure I want to do something like that again. Floating on some of the lakes in the Tetons was much less stressful and more scenic. My main goal was to use this thing to float a section of the Grand Canyon (without rapids, or portage the rapids) but that would still be even scarier than the Snake River I did so not sure if it's a good plan anymore.
I also want to take it on overnight trips on some lakes or smaller rivers, but an overnight pack might be a tight fit on this thing.
