Hey buddies - it's time for some Spring cleaning, and I am parting with two of my packrafts. I just booked a trip to the Arctic in June, so I am selling my self-bailers to fund a decked boat that will hopefully keep me a lot warmer! Update: Alpacka is sold. Second is an Aire Bakraft. This is about a...

All sold, thanks!

Up for sale are two very good condition packrafts. These were purchased in hopes of running the desert rivers here in Utah, like the escalante and dirty devil. Unfortunately, we have not had time to make extended trips since purchasing them. With some recent unexpected repairs popping up on our hous...

the current snow water equivalent on the escalante drainage is well above average. it's nothing like the epic year in 2005, but it will certainly flow this spring, so long as we get a little more snow over the next 8 weeks. typical snowmelt begins mid-april and peaks in mid may, sometimes lasting in...

Sitting here in Salt Lake enjoying this massive weather system moving through most of the western US, and have heard from some buddies down in Escalante that huge amounts of snow dropped (heard 36 inches in town itself...) It's got me thinking one thing - floating the river come spring. I'm pretty f...
