hi, i'm from Slovakia, Europe and i would like to go to alaska this summer. my plan is to find some river in brooks range and paddle on it. i' ve got inflantable kayak innova safai. The problem is that i can take just about 50liter bag with me in this kayak.
what do u think about this? is this space enough to survive in alaska. if u don't have an idea about that space, it is space for a sleeper, tent, cooker, clothes and some food. sorry for my poor english and my stupid question.
Your kayak looks like it is ideal for some of the rivers in the Brooks Range - lightweight, compact and can carry a load. The volume of gear and food that you take depends on how long you plan on being in the wilderness. Your gear (sleeper, tent, cooker, etc) will be about the same size for any trip but your food volume increases for longer trips. If you have lightweight, compact gear then I think you should have enough room left to pack food for a 2 week trip. I wish you the best of luck.
My Pakboat is a 170 and I purchased the larger size for extended remote trips without resupply. The two features that I especially like are the portability and the way it handles in rapids. I've taken it on trains, planes and transported it in the back seat of my car. In rapids the canoe twists with the waves and the paddlers tend to stay more vertical than in a hardshell canoe. I feel much more stable and confident running rapids in my Pakboat than I do in any other canoe.

Beautiful scenery. I'm debating between a Pakboat 150T and a 160, and was wondering what size yours is, and how you've liked it so far?
