Gallon water jugs worked wonders for me in solo canoeing downstream
upwind. That can really suck. It only takes a minute or two at the
putin and takeout to fill and empty them. You might be okay with just
one gallon. Nothing like trying to put together a Folbot. Nothing
like even going and getting the second bag of stuff for the Folbot
down to join the first one by the putin.

The Caribou won't hold anything like that in the rear hatch, at least not
far back where it ought to go on either side of the skeg housing. The 2-3
liter soft drink bottles might do the job.

I progressed from assembling the Folbot onsite, to assembling at home and
cartopping, to leaving assembled strung up in the garage all in one season.
Still, there are things like seats and rudder to fumble with at the site.
