I hope that this video doesn't come across as a commercial because the fact is that I just really like this boat!

The model that I have is called the "Yukon Yak". This boat is not cheap but the price is well in line with canoes an kayaks that fill a similar roll, the big difference is that the packraft does it at a very small fraction of the weight.

  • Good job showing the whole process start to finish! I have a unrigged explorer that should be here in a few days and I am extremely pumped up about it!

  • @Eliteoomph Cool!!! Let me know if you ever do a video of it ok?

  • Wow, your videos are truly well done. I wish I knew you before man!

    What camera do you use do make your vids? And do you have an extra micro, or is it right from the camera? Because the quality is really impressive!

  • @fl260 Thanks! the camera that I use is a sony HDR SR11 and I use the built in mic. I've had the camera for a couple years now and it has really stood up to the test of time.

  • $820 USD ?! ... sigh ... The seed has been planted but it will be a good-while, before it sprouts ... Might be usefull for getting my cargo bike (and pack) across rivers. I do like how all their different models have the same price ... so, no barrier, there, to choosing what best meets your needs ... no compromising due to price differences.

  • @phrankus2009 Yeah it took me a few years too but I don't think that the price is unreasonable when you consider the quality and versatility compared to similar or even higher priced canoes and kayaks.

  • mate, i love your videos. id really love to fly over, and do a trip with you.

  • forget all this crap, im moving to canada...

  • Excellent. Now I want one too. Doesn't look like a commercial, but works like one. You should definitely let the company who makes these boats know about your video.

  • Get on a river!

    Here's a great short video of whitewater packrafting:

    on luchehls' channel called "Show up and Blow up"

    and a whole you tube channel practically devoted to it
