Need Some Help Boys - Want To take A Boat Or Tube Backpacking - What Should I Get?

[neveronsunday]

[font "Verdana"][#ff0000]I have some 30-mile pack trips planned into the Uintas and would love to take something that weighs nothing, floats safely, dry, warm, cheap and durable to fish from. Tall order huh? I know someone out there has the answer. I have never used a tube before. The tubes themselves can be fairly light but the supportive gear weight seems to add up fast. The lakes seem to be about 32 1/2 degrees so not to crazy about getting wet. At this point I am considering a cheep 1 or 2 man 4 pound inflatable with plastic ores, I know, desperate!

you might want to post on the general float tubing board. Lots of people there with the info you need.

The cheap raft maybe the way to go. My tube,waders and fins come in slightly under 7 1/2#. In all reality too much to carry for 30 miles and everything else and keep it enjoyable- it also takes up room. I ended up getting 3 pack goats and wish I would have picked up a 4th one.
