Packrafting is a special kind of backpacking where you carry a full boat inside your backpack. This winter I joined three friends on an epic expedition into the Escalante canyons of Utah to see the historically low water levels of Lake Powell. It was a cold, difficult trip. But it was full of incredible adventure.

Loved this video!! The grit/drama of this trip really sets it apart for me-I LOVE videos that shows all sides of a trip. Keeps things honest, funny, and relatable. Have a great one!!

Brought back wonderful memories of a few years ago when two of us (old folks :-) had our kayaks and gear taken up the Escalante by jet boat, and then camped around 50 Mile Creek and Willow Point. We stayed for about a week and paddled up and down this area, hiking up various canyons in the shallow warm water in bare feet most of the time -- one of the best trips of our lives (and we've had many!). I couldn't tell exactly what canyon(s) you were in but maybe you aren't advertising that which is fine too! We hope to do this again before our years are too many!! Thanks for sharing.

Pretty epic scenery and place.

Beautiful country around there, I love how the red rock glows in the sun. The pack raft is a fun way to change up a trip.

Awesome. Can you go over how the pack raft works in a review? Love your channel keep up all the great work.

Those boats are awesome I wish I would have found them before I bought my last inflatable boat.

That's hard core adventuring!

Awesome! The best trips of all are the ones where you create your own route.

We've been down this canyon three times. A beautiful place! Last time we turned around where you took out the pack rafts for the first time. We didn't feel like swimming... at the end of October. A bit too cold. Would love to do this whole trip! Beautiful scenery. Thanks for the hard work!

Great video brother! Super interesting. Its exploring like we did as kids but now we have cool gear and we can drive to cool places with our friends and dont have to ask mom and dad for permission

@dylansinclair4116

Looks like a very cool trip. After watching this, it makes me want to consider starting in the canyon you came out, and trying to get out the canyon just south of that. Thanks for sharing this trip.

So good! Great to see some familiar faces (Clay and Brian)! Found your channel a couple weeks ago and have binge watching! So entertaining and great info! Definitely needed your guidance when I bought a new sleeping pad the other day! Keep up the good work!

Beautiful terrain and geological features. I’ve been watching you about two years and I learned about pack rafting about a year ago. Great trip, nice video. Unbelievable

Wife and I did a similar loop a few years ago but came up the next canyon south. Then connected the trail heads via mtn bike. Stellar adventure! There's a video on Joannie Artman channel.
