Three trips with Thai:

(1) Upper Willow, with and without thigh straps:

Thai Verzone in the stubby yellow boat with orange deck has no thigh straps and an old, long sea kayak paddle.

Keeps up and shines.

(2) Aniakchak, too

and experimental video of Aniachak beach walk/packraft

(3) Mekong quickie in China

Four vids from our week on the Fitzroy in the Kimberley - September, 2011.

Here’s my 2011 Compilation:

all the packrafts in here are Alpackas and some show how well the 2011 models handle big drops and kill bandersnatches


Globalization comes to packrafting… here we have a vid of packrafting the Hozu river in Japan (just outside of Kyoto). The music is the great Japanese punk band Hi-Standard playing an Elvis cover. Turn it up!

Upstream Paddling!

or

Luc - too good ! That was absolutely fantastic, very nicely done.

Just made my very first multi-day solo trekking/packrafting trip in the French alps, here are some impressions:

Have loved all the videos everyone is putting out. Not sure if these will embed okay as haven’t done it before but here are a couple of ones I have made of packrafting in Australia on the Franklin and Snowy Rivers:

Mark - wow. Thanks a heap for posting.

Amazing videos Mark, great editing & tunes. I reckon your Snowy River excursion would have been the first ever ski-raftaneering trip in Australia!

YouTube is an integral part in the evolution of the sport of packrafting and is a place for the packrafting community to share experiences and inspire others. This playlist highlights some of the most influential and inspiring films of the last six years, IMHO.

I totally agree, Problem is, a lot of YT clips are banned in Germany for music rights and we cant even upload our videos with our choice of Music. That is why Vimeo is more popular overseas :slight_smile: David from Gridnorth.blogspot.com created a similar chanel there:

Thanks!

Hi all - I’ve just returned from another epic jungle river expedition, this time to the extremely isolated Rewa River in the Guyana jungles. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=duEJg8NMZu4&feature=channel_video_title Here’s some of the bizarre and beautiful wildlife I encountered during the 4-week journey. More vids to come! You can also find these videos (and those from previous journeys) on my website and on the Remote River Man fan page on Facebook.

Cheers,

Another from down under, a few brief bits from a trip on the Indi back in early spring.

My companion on my journey to Rewa River in the Guyana jungles was a Makushi tribesman who fished with a primitive bow and arrow, made entirely from natural rainforest materials. His skill was freakish. He was also an exceptional animal tracker.

If you’re planning to take your packraft to an extremely remote jungle one day, this might be useful…
