Supposedly it's all the rage in some areas.
In a nutshell, you take a large round livestock watering tank
Put 5-6 lawn chairs in it, a cooler in the center of y'all, and launch yourselves down the river...
Truth be told? Yeah, I'd do it!
Anybody ever gone Tanking?

Don't forget to budget for the fire department rescue fees. :-)
I thought you were into that whole aescetic law and order hysteria thing.
So you want me to take an unlicensed, unseaworthy vessel into the water...presumably to drink whatever is in the cooler. Yellow flavored alcohol perhaps.
I support your right to put yourself in harms way and harm yourself. The coast guard, sherrif, prosecuter, etc. might not. You also might open yourself up to a civil suit.
Why not just get a canoe?
They're made for such things.
They're made for flipping and recreating early 19th century Naval battles.Git'R Ding Dang Diddly Ding Dong Done (R)
Take your whining to the state parks out west who rent them out just like canoe liverys.
Im told by the folks who do this on a regular basis, theyre virtually untippable.
OR - you can stay on the porch and shiver in fear.
So now you're into scofflaw and order?
You liberals are only into self-serving silliness.I heard there was a boat called something, but anyway it was unsinkable and it sank, true story. I think they made a movie called Love is a Maritime Disaster with Gilbert Grape and the Terminated dude.
There's a poster at the Marblehead Lighthouse dedicated to unsinkable vessels.
I'm just busting ovaries. I respect your right to put yourself in harm's way as long as you respect my right to laugh inappropriately. So hurry up and do it.
I've never tried it, but it sounds like a good time. I'd go, given space for my chair.
You know, Charlatan, inner tubes were never designed as flotation devices either, yet they work just fine. At some point, a bunch of teenage ranchers decided to see what would happen if they loaded the old tank into the pickup, drove it down to the river and launched it. Evidently it not only floated but it also was stable enough for a little co-ed party.
For your part, you're free to go rent a canoe, buy a personal flotation device, first aid kit, chart of the river, map of the surrounding area and a backpack of emergency gear you can use to hike out in case the canoe hits an iceberg and sinks.
I'm going with Billy and the kids in the tub.
DUKE BOYS! WHOOOOOOOOOOO
