Chip, the action packers are the wrong shape, don’t have a smooth bottom, have slanted sides, rounded corners, are not water proof, you can’t sit or stand on them if you are over 200lbs(190 even) they get all deformed, they are a pain in the but to portage, they don’t have a tray to organize...

It is always a compromise, size vs quantity.

I’m not a big fan of 1/4” ropes, they are harder to hold onto! All my throw back are spectra type ropes with a breaking strength of something like 3200lbs
