Seriously, at 71, no one has told me to act my age. All y’all are slacking.

Meeting friends in Hope, Alaska tomorrow. We’re going to run a section of 6 Mile Cr in packrafts.

Then camp in Hope. Catch the Denali Cooks at Creekbend and then run the rapids of 6 Mile again.

Keep on keeping on!

Predicting calamity: Working in partnership the US Forest Service, independent geologist Bretwood “Hig” Higman monitors landslide threats in Alaska—research that includes tying his packrafts up in trees to thwart curious bears, and a climb 900 meters up a near vertical rock face.

Packrafts are an amazing invention! An extremely durable, lightweight personal inflatable raft meant for packing into remote rivers or lakes with room for camping gear. They are gaining popularity in Alaska. #packrafting #alaska #whitewater #backcountry

Excited to be here!

Thought a mellow stretch on the East Branch of the Penobscot River, this summer would be a good place to start.

Packrafts on rivers and bikes on logging roads.

A quick share of an overnight bikeraft trip on the East Outlet of the Kennebec River on Maine. Fun combination of packrafts and bikes.

We portaged from the slough to Trena Lake which empties out into the ocean via another slough. #packrafts #trenalake #stellersjay #onthewater

This was a great off trail hiking loop in the Grand Canyon starting at the New Hance trail ad crossing the Colorado River in packrafts. Take a look!

Tackling the French Broad River in East Tennessee in packrafts with Bobby Johnson back in 2022. Bobby is one of the best endurance paddlers in the world.

Folding kayaks are gateway drugs to packrafts :D

Most recently we spent three weeks in the National Petroleum Reserve Alaska documenting this region before large scale development begins at the Willow project. All on packrafts.

Yes! Packrafts are the peak of human-powered water transport.

Anyone have experience with inflatable or foldable kayaks or packrafts?

When I moved to Utah a family friend told me to read Cadillac Desert. I passed that suggestion on to friends doing the same.

The lake opened up some trips with packrafts, sups and kayaks. Glad I got to do them. We hauled a bunch of trash out of the mud on the last one.

This one's good too.

The cutest fleet of packrafts! I love my Alpacka raft too!

I recall a magazine feature where two guys toured the Hebrides with standard Bromptons and packrafts - deflate and pack the packraft while riding the roads, fold the bike and carry in the inflated raft to paddle from one island to another.

Omasta mielestä ei ole tohon tarkotukseen kuin packcraft järkevä. Ne vaan tosiaan on melko hintavia varastossa säilytettäväksi. Mut saa niitä vuokrattuakin. Vaikka täältä:

T and I hoofed up to the Mat-su for a cloudy day paddle at Jim Lake recently. It's one of my favorites! #packrafts #paddle #paddling #jimlakerecarea #onthewater

Good to know!

I was looking at super light packrafts but they seem too ungainly on bigger water, but need something I can walk through thick bush with.
