Would this make a good Ditch Bag? Will it float?

We think it would make a fine ditch bag. Its going to float some but thats going to depend on what you fill it with. The bag itself does not have any flotation built into it.

I think that it would work for that purpose. Mine didn't hold air like it should have and I ultimately just tossed it out. I considered keeping it to use as a pool for our little one in the summer. You do need to be able to drain it where you use it... it will most likely just collapse if you try to pick it up to move and dump the water.... Hope this helps!

Well, it does not sink, but barely.It stays upright with the handle just under water.That´s on salt water. I have only tested it on the sea, so keep it in mind that the flotation will be different on lakes.

If it's a calm one probably. I used it for a creek and it did fine when we just rode the current. Just remember it's still inflatable and not as tough and stable as a hard bottom boat

I have not tried outside yet, but based on my use so far, it is pretty sturdy and should be ok. Sandbags would be highly recommended as this thing is pretty light.

I'm not sure I'd want to go out in the surf with one of these. Think of it as a float tube with a [narrow, 16"] floor. It would be fine in a tidewater bay I think.

It will float, yes. I really doubt the salt will affect it much more than, say, the dirt from floating it in a pond. I suppose it could shorten the lifespan a bit. It should be fine.

Yes. It also floats with a phone in it. I'm betting there isn't much you could put in there that would make it heavy enough to sink when closed.

Of note is that the bottom may not be designed to hold the weight of a fully loaded tank since it is made of plastic corrugated board and held in place with lots of small screws. I wouldn't recommend it without at least first putting down a board to distribute the weight of something so heavy. I've placed a bunch of heavy tool bags inside, but I was always careful to distribute the weight.

This is a great bag in mine i can fit my camera (dslr) sometimes i fit my whole camera bag which is pretty slick with two lens, camera and some accessories in it along with cellphone, lotions, not so big towel, maybe spare cloth. I haven't used it directly on water (floating) but I've been on heavy rain and kayaking with it. The less things in there, the more you can fold the top of it and less humidity will get in and also more air will be in there. You should keep asking to see if someone knows how it works on water. Have fun!

I think so--seems relatively water-resistant, though I doubt it will float...not suitable for kayaking business trips. :)

Probably. I use mine to transport a 14' kayak to the water. As long as you get one end sufficiently strapped onto the wheels, it should work. I wouldn't try it on really rough ground. I tried a fairly rocky beach once and had a few tip-overs.

If you attach a short rope between the handle and your neck before you throw it in, sure it will float. There is no generator on this unit so feel free to tie your dog to another generator before you thow this unit in the lake.

It can hold really small sand bags if you want. The pockets are rather small. I use small diving weights in mine because I had some laying around but if instead of buying something, I would recommend loading up a cloth pouch with a bunch of pennies. It's a great vest.

IMHO it would be a bit heavy and sag onto the water compared to the plastic type netting. But if you pull it really tight and stake it all around it might work.

It should be just fine as long as you understand that the shorter the boat the less stable. I play with mine in the main Salmon river Idaho and on lakes. I have flipped mine a few times horsing around.Out in larger chop I have extra floatation and a pump. This boat is a bitch to drain if your out from shore and flip it. I have a skirt for mine and that's real sweet. Bottom line it's light and very versital.

It's pretty solid so I doubt it would float, but I have brought into the hot tub and it worked with no problem. I actually didn't look for a floatable case so I don't know if there is one out there. But hey you might be able to design one and make some cash. Hope I was of some help.If it helps as soon as it drops in price again I'm buying one for my wife.
