Packrafts and Bike carrying packrafts in time for summer

After a false start earlier this year, I have decided NOT to set up a company to sell packrafts myself. The legal, tax, money outlay and faff was not worth the hassle or risk. But, I am helping the factory who made all of Norseraft's packrafts sell their packrafts directly to the customers. I will b...

Re: The post man's been ...

New bike days are always good days Even though I had to see 4 others (3 were crappy) and a good packraft to be able to afford this one. Yes, it is very mainstream, but it's my first full susser in 15 years and I need it for comfort as I'm getting old...... https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/5454020...

Someone asked me why this packraft is called The Knarr As I designed this cargo carrying packraft for Norseraft who had packrafts in their range called the Viking and the Longship, I called it the Knarr as this was the Cargo ship used at the time of the Viking invasions. https://live.staticflickr.co...
