Packrafting
We have a big packrafting trip coming up. We have never used packrafts. In order to learn how these crafts operate, we take them up to French Broad Section 9! Nothing like a little test run through some big water. Adventure Steve from Adventure Outdoors joins us for his first time on any real water. Brian, Steve and I put the rafts through the paces in a fun-filled day of watery awesomeness!! Oh, and there may be a few swims in there! What a great way to enjoy a beautiful river! FB9 never disappoints.

Holly smokes!!! Awesome video, I was on the edge of my seat the whole time!
This is the best packrafting video I've seen as far as excitement and showing what a packraft can do....without the elitist undertones that can be intimidating to newbies. I realllllyyyy enjoyed this and got me excited to go out in my new packraft 😊
I enjoyed the test run, but I can't wait to see the packraft trip y'all are on now! Those things look pretty cool!
Steve, the last time a ran Frank Bell's I surfaced just about where you did. That's a requirement to hold your breath for some time. . . That was 25 years ago. Some things never change. hat's off to you!
Looked like a really good time! The French Broad is awesome!
Really enjoyed that! Reminded me of my usual bass fishing float at Old Greensboro....well sorta....not really. Bonus points for the smallie LOL
Great video. Thanks for hiking back up
More videos like these please, love it.
Best kayaking channel out there . Many thanks :)
Omg this looks amazing! I would love to do this trip! So cool
That looks awesome! And you catch a fish!
Nice vid. Thanks for taking the time to do the class 4 once more, were looking forward to see it. Sad you did not get the first run on film. Mistakes happens, they are the best part to learn from. Have not done class 4 yet, but looking forward to learn how to ride them.
Very cool! Great video guys!
Man, running nice-sized rapids and you even did some rolls in that other video!! Thanks for the heads up on these clips. Lot of fun to watch so far
This is cool Pete! I’m excited to hear your thoughts on the pack rafting experience
Awesome video! So I have just moved to the Cumberland Plateau of TN. Would you recommend a pack raft or a kayak for a beginner/novice to learn to paddle in classI-III. I do plan to actually pack raft at some point but learning ww paddling skills is the first priority. Thanks for your content.
I love it
Great video. I like to watch your instructional videos and would love to see some for packrafting. I really liked that were were constantly making sure everyone was ok. Wondering why you aren’t wearing dry suits? Doesn’t that add a lot more risk of hypothermia? I’ll admit I’m not familiar with the locale.
Those look like really fun boats! Great video. You going to do a review on these at some point?
Fun stuff
