The collapsing boat consists of a sheet of thick, sealed leather and a wooden frame which can be broken down into a bundle of short rods, each about two feet long and as thick as a thumb. Wrapped up in the leather than forms the hull of the boat, the entire assemblage can be made small enough to fit inside a large Backpack. When assembled, the collapsing boat resembles nothing so much as a large bowl, a skin of leather stretched over a framework of bent wooden sticks. The collapsing boat can hold two Medium-sized passengers or up to 350 pounds of cargo. The boat is fragile, and is designed for use in bodies of water with little or no current.
