Travel Tubes???

[EricM]

I wreck waders like nobodies business. Haha. Usually leaving a spot and crawling up and onto the banks and finding a few sticks and thorns. I am very familiar with my locations and know where snags and depth changes are. Flows are very low and no boat traffic exists because these streams are so small and remote.

My only real concern is crossing riffle areas. They are pretty shallow and have some large rocks. The current is really strong there and I have a tough time wading them at certain times of the years when the flows are up. I could just walk around them, but does anyone have any experience drifting through them? It seems doable without being insanely dangerous... Have looked at some pack rafts more suitable for this appilcation, but those prices are just ridiculous for a glorified pool toy.

Thanks again all.
