Re: Southeast US
There are quite a few of us in the Southeast. If anyone is following, send me a dm with your contact info and your location -- I'll add you to a list for trip planning here. Not really into bikerafting myself though but I do enjoy bike-shuttling when I have the chance. Hiking in/out is still my defa...

Re: Getting A Group Together for Virginia, Tennessee, Kentucky
Yes, definitely. Eastern Packrafting operates out of lower central Virginia.
Let's exchange contact info: many southeast expeditions in the works for the upcoming season.

Packraft fishing - how to
Thinking of turning my explorer 42 into a fishing raft and wondering the best way to carry and cast. Perhaps if I glued some additional strap plates to one side and looped velcro straps through them I could carry the rod off to the side of my boat with easy access. I could also keep the rod vertical...

Re: Mather Gorge (near DC)
Mather Gorge is a great packraft run -- the billy goat trail is a less direct but more fun way up the gorge (some scrambling) than the towpath is, plus you can scout more easily from it as well. The md/va chutes at the end are classic play spots, also Difficult Run empties out there which quite the ...

Re: Stuck on top of a pourover/hole?
If you're getting stuck in a hydraulic at the bottom of a drop, perform a long stroke directly over the lip of the drop to help stabilize your boat before the fall and provide the forward moving momentum needed to get out. Once you're stuck you'll have to rely on the reverse current to propel yourse...

Re: Questions about Alpacka Explorer 42 and cargo fly
I use the Explorer often -- it is a great boat. Handles whitewater well and extra roomy, even with a second person though I use it mostly single. A backrest for the back seat would be a good addition to the boat, although you'd have to install or order extra D-links at the stern to add one. My only ...

Re: Any NC pack rafters?
There is a lot of great whitewater in western NC -- a great spot for packrafting. In fact, if I had a job down there I would move instantly.

Re: Seek partners NY/NJ thru New England!
You guys should broaden up to include the Mid-Atlantic as well. There is a lot of running whitewater here (still) suitable for all skill levels. Pennsylvania and Maryland, being nearest to the NE, are good places to look. The local whitewater/kayaking scene in the Eastern region is still getting acq...
