- Packrafting is something I've wanted to add to my backpacking for a very long time. I've finally got myself a packraft and am starting the process of learning how it all works. This is my very first float in my new packraft on a short urban float on my local river.

Cool! I mean the raft. The river is freezing! When your instructor is in a dry suit you may want to think about those shorts.............🤣🤣🤣
You would definitely know how cold that water is! Ha ha
I just LOVE my packraft, bringing it with me on backpacking trips and fishing trips. Flextail max boat pump is definitely to recommend, it fills up the packraft correct amount of air. And I always use neopren socks with anti slip. Early spring I use neopren glows too. Another tip is to prevent dripping from your oars if you have your packraft open is to treat the oar blade with bee wax. Hope you get many good experiences with your packraft. BR from Norway
That's awesome. Looks pretty intense. My idea of pack rafting was chillin on a calm lake and fishing lol.
Packrafts are the best!!! Opens up a whole new world of backcountry travel! Have fun!
It’s been on my wishlist for years! Finally making it happen!
Awesome! I know you've been talking about the pack rafting for a while! That looked like so much fun! I know I cant wait to do another white water rafting trip. It is such a rush.
It’s gonna be awesome!
Looks great. More please.
Thank you!
Let me know when you're ready to experience packrafting in the Bob! Great fun. I'll be trying out a new PR myself this year, can't wait! Happy floating. 😊
It’s amazing how much more there is to see and do now that a boat is an option! I’ve always wanted to spend time in the Bob!
At the top of the "Description" you wrote MicroSOFT instead of MicroRAFT
Which brand/model life jacket are you wearing?
Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada
Got a trip planned in June on the South Fork of the Flathead. Pretty beginner friendly . . . 😎@@BackcountryExposure
@@azclaimjumperthanks for noticing that. I ought to add the link for the PFD, but it’s the NRS Vapor. 😁
I would be interested in learning about different pack raft options and the pros and cons about each
Deep in the learning phase myself. But I’ll be sharing more as I’m learning.
Carson and I will have to hit you up when we do the San Rafael this Spring! (Class I stuff) Waiting for cfs to rise
Yes please!!!
The only thing this video needed was you going for a swim. Looks fun
It was the idea with the shorts to get totally wet, but dang that water was wicked cold!! 😂
@@BackcountryExposure another expression for "cold" has to do with the anatomy of a witch.
putting my kit together, kinda at a standstill with PDF and oar atm. would love to see some of your reasoning for your purchases.
My PFD is one I already had. It’s the NRS Vapor. I haven’t done a lot of research on PFD’s and what’s best for packing.
I got the Aquabound Manta Ray carbon paddle with fiberglass blades. Just for durability with paddling in the desert and still be light weight.
I’m curious, why an inflatable raft? Why not get a kayak?
This is a pack raft, so I’m able to pack it small and carry it on/in my pack to hike with. Then inflate when getting to water and put all my gear inside the boat.
Can't really call it packrafting if you drive right up to the launch point 😂 jk, gotta start somewhere! I've been thinking about getting the klymit lwd packraft to dip my toes in this area as well. I've got the manistee river loop trail in Michigan that would make a great packrafting trip!
Ha! Thanks!
That Klymit boat is pretty squirly. I paddled one in a lake and it was interesting. I’d be scared to take it down a river. Ha ha
Ok, so did you inflate it with the Flextail? LOL
Ha ha! Yes, I did use a Flextail pump, but not the tiny or zero pump. It’s a much larger one that actually has a psi readout on it and shuts off automatically when it reaches the set psi.
@@BackcountryExposure wow, didn't realize that they made bigger pumps. Thank you for the information.
Provo river?
Yes, lower Provo.
@@BackcountryExposure almost died on some white water there back when the facility was open to bridal veil.
