I am assuming this applies more to TPU boats than to PVC? Thanks!
I find the Forager works really well solo with the seat installed in the back...and a load. 1000 pound limit gives you room for lots of stuff!
Thank you, very helpful!
Ahhh, I want one so badly
Great review. Short and sweet!
It's nice to see these these two rafts compared side by side. I'm in the market for the Scout. Thanks for doing this video! ✌️🇺🇲🛶
would it be possible to load 2 bikes on top of the Oryx?
Yes it is possible, its success will depend on your strapping technique. I have seen it done with two frames on the bow, and both of the removed tires on the stern behind the back paddler.
@@mt.waddingtonsoutdoors1184 alright good to know, and an excellent idea putting the frames and front wheels on different ends. What I might have in mind is stuffing the bikes into transport bags and then strap them on. But i will see about that. Thank you very much for the extremely useful reply. Have a good day and thanks for the video 👍
Thanks - Which is preferable for Alpacka Raft - the K mini or the Pack a Pump?
Thenks
Sam, I wished you had a video on how to get in the Mule raft. I am not very graceful in getting in and getting out of the raft. Can you make one that shows how to get in and get out... and then most importantly shove off from the beach. When I get in, I drag on the ground and I can't push off the sand and rocks, due to my weight.
Nice! Was literally paddling here (sun one day; pure fog the next) in my Explorer 42. Fits my wife and I for short trips (e.g a hour or two), but usually on my own. We love it. Have been considering a Caribou as an another addition to the fleet. Just a little smaller and lighter for some solo alpine trips.
Thanks for this. Would love to see a comp between Caribou and Mule!
This is the dream.👍
That video helped me really out thank you !
Thank you for a great, "straight to the point" review!!
thanks
Never would have thought of doing that! Great tip and excellent instructions! Thank you!
Straightforward easy set up - thank you! Just bought a Caribou from you guys and was wondering if the back band can be attached to it
Please do more alpaca videos. Especially one for flat water and how to get peak performance.
Would you consider the ranger for whitewater?
Ok then I've made my decision... It will be both.
I have the forager and been trying the K pump but I feel like I’m over inflating even with this check valve.
Is the k mini worth packing in though in your opinion?
Could you put the inflatable raised seat in the front forager?
Wheewww! Glad I ordered the Caribou! But the wait is killing me - been 3 months and counting now…..
just walked from my bed to my desk and started working, and here is sam, campglidrafting to work!
Just what I’m looking for. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you this made a big difference and saved my wasting money on the scout (not that its a waste just not for my use case)
I ordered the K mini and the 2.5 check valve. My Alpaca arrives tomorrow after a long wait. This is the bible to doing it right the first time. Thanks so much.
Where did you find the check valve? Thanks
What does the number 42 mean in the name of the packraft Explorer42 ?
Explorer for two people
This was exactly the comparison I was looking for! Thanks!
oryx...a canoe for about 11 pounds thats pretty awesome.
Yah they are pretty incredible!
Thanks Sam & Kenny for the touch up info session. These techniques just refined my current knowledge that I’ve figured out on my own.
Great info! Where can I get one of those back check valves?
I have been looking all over for a video of the Expedition with the removable WW deck! I would love to see a video of you removing/installing deck, maintenance of zippers and your opinion/experience so far with the removable deck. I am also 5'10" and your video was awesome describing sizing up or down. Thanks for this great content!
I second this....not much information about regarding the removable WW deck.
awesome video
