[cool][#0000ff]A lot of the popular tubes have backpack straps available as an aftermarket accessory. These attach to your inflated tube and up the trail you go. That works fine for short hikes and day trips but if you need to crash through brush, trees and tight corners it can be unhandy...and result in damage to your tube too.[/#0000ff]
