I was issued a challenge to find out if I could roll a Packraft. Today I found out. See what it takes to roll a packraft compared to a kayak. I got my hands on an Alpacka Raft Gnarwhal and had to step up to the challenge. Learning and mastering an eskimo roll in a packraft is a skill that will make your packrafting even better! These craft are designed to afford access to kayak camping locations where it is simply not feasible to get a hard shell kayak into. These are very popular in Alaska and all over the Pacific Northwest. Check them out...they are pretty cool.

Hello Pete you're the man showing them there's nothing you can't handle. Keep on proving them wrong.

I’d love to see more pack rafting. You had a packraft adventure with a few videos that were great but I can’t find it again ... could you create a playlist and put it on your channel playlist page? Mostly I want to hear about what you have to adjust from kayaking to pack rafting. When i watch a kayak instructional video, what am I going to have to change to make it work in a packraft?

Right on Fayley! That playlist is called unsanctioned. Great idea for a video!!

Nice work! Have any experience with the Wolverine? I’m currently trying to decide between the Gnarwhal and the Wolverine. Leaning Gnarwhal, but wasn’t sure if once you got used to it you ever wanted the “more playful” Wolverine.

Sadly, no experience with the wolverine...the gnarwhal was great but I dont have much other experience...

@RiverKingsKayak
@RiverKingsKayak 5 лет назад
They are very cool! I would not replace any of my kayaks with it, but it can do some things that kayaks cannot. I am considering getting one. They are very popular in Alaska and the Pacific Northwest. At only 5 lbs or so, it gives you the ability to pack in your boat and then utilize it.

Yes sir!! Not too bad...just slower so you cant force it. And yes, they are pretty sweet!
