Excellent information and very well put together... Thank you. I've done some very remote kayak and canoe trips but couldn't really see the place for a packraft... But now I can see the possibilities 😁
Thanks Richard. Good to know we hit the right spot. Please come back for part two which I think will give a good example of how Packrafting opens up remote places even more.
Wonderful, a really good introduction to packrafting. I've been paddling for a few years now and what you share in this interview I had really needed to hear before venturing out on my own. It is always so instructive to listen to the experience of others so you don't make unnecessary mistakes by your own. Greetings from Sweden 🇸🇪👍
The risk bit: the exact opposite of what other people say; for instance, Nouria Newman: „Kayaking is really rough. And kayaking, when you start, just... it just sucks: you're cold, you're wet, you flip, you're stuck under the boat, you need to get to shore, empty that boat, and in that way, I think, packrafting will also make whitewater more accessible because the boats are stable and there's a lot you can already do without risking to flip, and then there's a lot, like, cool little stuff you can do without risking flips, so, maybe, like, kayakers will get to packrafting to do multidays and not carry boats or multi-activity stuff, but I also think that, maybe, packrafting is also a way to introduce someone to white water and then, you know, they don't have to be scared and cold all the time; they can also have a good time” (th-cam.com/video/J-RNy19RxDw/w-d-xo.html). How can such different positions be explained?

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks

This is a very good program/film. It is transferable to kayak/canoe… thank you!!!
Glad you liked both of the episodes :)

Only in Europe would the government demand dinghy licenses 🙄
Great video though! I like the way you called a canoe Canadian kayak lol
