After working on the box for two Saturdays, we finally have a functional box. Yesterday, we headed out to give it a test. My husband chose a spot along the Poudre River, west of Ft. Collins, CO. Here is a picture of my set-up. Pictured with the box is my husband (fishing in the upper left corner) and one of my dogs (Finley). The test went well. I will make a few minor modifications, but overall I like our design. I was able to pack all my gear into one backpack, leaving my arms free. The total weight of the full backpack, including water for myself and my dogs, 6 Masonite panels, and camera, was 27 pounds. It was definitely manageable and I know I can reduce the weight further (no need to bring 6 panels).
