I bought a Denali Llama in 2009. Still use it to this day! Have covered literally thousands of miles on it. Never had a puncture. It has gone through countless miles of rock gardens with myself (280lbs) and 40+lbs of gear in it. I live in Arizona, so most of the adventures have been on the Verde river which has low water much of the time, so you get these really long shallow rock gardens. Besides some scratching which is honestly pretty light, the boat looks new still. I even have the original orange inflation bag. I’m taking it to the lake today! 15 years of adventure on the same inflatable. Really incredible honestly.

Fantastic!I have 2 Llamas, 2 Yaks and 2 Alpackas for my tourists. The only punctures were due to giant bamboo thorns whether we were walking through the jungle or if they were hidden underneath the water. Other than that they are worry free and very portable. I am able to get out to places a canoe can't reach. They've been especially good for getting to oxbow lakes from the main river. Thanks for sharing!

look like a nice raft. they have a good reputation in the US. now lets see it in action ....have fun

@IncanExpeditions Год назад

Yes! Let's see it in action. How about a 2 week jungle thing with some class 2+ rapids to start. I think the boat will turn into a nice cool bathtub after a few minutes of rapids, perfect for a hot jungle day. I hope to see you soon Hendi.

Great channel, really good working, thanks for sharing, new friend here

Great! Welcome!

@donaldpang Год назад

Looking forward to your next adventure in the jungle with the new packraft

@IncanExpeditions Год назад

Thanks! Me too. I think the combination of less boat bulk and more packability with the cargo fly means I can do a week or more with about the same comfort. I'll try to get a new trip together and post it ASAP. Thank you for watching.

Keep up the videos! Love this chanel, the videography and naration is perfect. PS: I did the Choquequirao Trek Solo back in May this year. Thanks for the advice you provided up until my trip! What an unforgetable experience... When I was up there at the ruins I remembered a few details you mentioned in your video about the nitches for the mummies, the inca stairs, how the mosquitos were not around at the upper section, etc.... also enjoying the ruins just for myself was much better than the crowded fully packed turist Machu Picchu hehe. That 1 hour video of yours really captured the essence and experience of the trail up to the ruins. also... the switch backs up to Marampata was hell, thanks for the heads up.

@IncanExpeditions Год назад

Thank you! I'm glad there were some useful things in the Choquequirao video which is here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZACtzpzNg8c.html I agree. When there are too many people you don't really get a feel for what it was like during the Incas. You're too busy navigating the crowds. Choquequirao is the better option and I hope it stays that way. Thanks for your comments!

hi Jeremy , if you ever consider long distances , I am planning to do Tabatinga to Manaus . Last time I did Cucui to Santarem solo and that was a blast even so the river was at its highest from 100 years. I am also checking the Orinoco river but info are very tough to get .Always good to share adventures....

@IncanExpeditions Год назад

Hello Hendi! You are becoming the expert on Brazil. Keep me updated on your research and on what month you're planning. I am always looking for new tour routes, even in other countries. Keep me posted. Last week I also had an unusually high river in Manu and my rafter got caught in a strainer. Thankfully we were able to get out of it. Thanks Hendi -J

@hendikaf3525 Год назад

@@IncanExpeditions I will keep in touch for sure. Strainers are serious business, things can turn very bad on any rivers and people do not realise the power of water until they get taken. take care.

Wise words! 👍@@hendikaf3525

Is it as light as the specs suggest? The weight is appealing but the Classic or Carbou may carry more?? Although it looks well loaded w your gear.

@IncanExpeditions 2 месяца назад

Alpacka is usually spot on when it comes to weight because they know it's the most important thing. Yes, either the Classics or Caribou will carry more and be better for rivers and whitewater. If you're undecided I'd go with a bigger boat. If you're more interested in high lakes you'd need to hike to the Scout is better and the lighter weight is noticeable.

@ericb33 11 месяцев назад

Whats the total weight on the custom scout? been looking at this upgrade for a bit.

@IncanExpeditions 11 месяцев назад

Sorry, I don't have anything to weigh something this size. Alpacka is good about posting weights. For example they list the weight of the seat www.alpackaraft.com/products/scout-seat If you have specific questions such as tiedown weight I'd call them. 970-533-7119 workshop@alpackaraft.com
