I got my first packraft more than 10 years ago... liked it so much I had to get a second one so I didn't always have to go alone. For me it was to make canoe style camping more available to me... I'm old and don't want to try to portage a whole canoe on my own. A lot easier to do a single carry when your boat weighs 6 lbs. There are lots of opportunities to canoe camp in my part of Canada

I can see a new sparkle in your eyes about this. Great short video and introduction. Thank you for the share.

I don't have a pack raft, but I am primarily a kayaker and I love multi day trips with my boat. The ability to access areas that aren't necessarily easy or even possible to access on foot is brilliant, plus I find it easier on my body to paddle than to carry a heavy pack for days. Enjoy your waterborne adventures!

I'm digging the more than just backpacking content. There's so much more to do outdoors and most of it involves a pack. Thanks.

Yessss!!!! Finally somebody in the hiking community realized the possibilities of packrafts, I did the Northern Forest Canoe Trail in my Packraft. The possibilities are huge with packrafts

For 40+ years I used a closed cell sleeping mat. Super tough and super light, but also super uncomfortable. Finally, about 4 years ago, I succumbed and bought an inflatable sleeping pad - Wow! It has given me a whole new level of comfort and rekindled my joy in camping. Yes, I know I'm over 30 years late to the party but it has truly been transforming!

I used to work and trail run (after work) out in the Brooks Range. You're in for a real treat.
@markcrowell2727

I love packrafts. I did the Escalante Canyon back in 2017 It was amazing
@fayleya3865
You’re going to love it. My Packraft opened up so many places that I wouldn’t have experienced without it. You see environment from the river that is different to what you see from hiking trails - and it’s wonderful. A Packraft can get into places that kayakers can’t so you really have expanded access! Enjoy!
@chrislrob
Okay, I'm excited about this. I've wanted to get into packrafting for years, I could never make sense of how to carry all of the bulk gear. Looking forward to Darwin figuring this out!
@relmukneb
Not backcountry related, but just got a paddle board this summer as really my first foray into water sports, and had a blast, and opened up a ton of new locations and ideas to enjoy the outdoors
@SummitSeeker546
We love our Supai Adventure Matkat pack raft. The raft and the paddle weigh less than 3 lbs. We use it in the Grand Canyon to cross the mighty Colorado River. Great piece of equipment!
@RedStickHistorian
I look forward to the pack raft videos. Thanks!
@sophiayang7394
Exciting plans, Darwin! Loving the gear upgrades and can’t wait to see where your next adventures take us. Any specific piece of gear you’re most pumped to try out this season? Keep inspiring us with your journeys
@TheJoshSeattle
Enjoy. Packrafts are a great tool.
@andrewlcraft1
Cannot wait for Brooks Range content! Absolute bucket list for me!
