Setting up

Also: inflating, setup

A packraft is set up in a few minutes: lay it out, insert the gear, inflate with the inflation bag, top up, then inflate seat and backrest.

Order for boats with a floor mat (like the Anfibio Revo): place the uninflated mat centrally and as far forward as possible in the boat, inflate the mat first, then the boat. With luggage in the tube (TubeBags, ISS, RTC) you load first, then close and then inflate. A fin is slid in before inflating.

Tip: find a spot without sharp stones and thorns, and put the stuff sack underneath if needed.
