The Backpack Barge 2.0 is a waterproof, non-inflatable, flat-packed boat that can be folded down to fit in a large backpack or the trunk of your car. Besides its use as a boat, you can also fill it with water or ice for bathing and storage. You can even use it in a survival situation with optional accessories.
