Part one of a multi day solo packrafting bushcraft camping trip, lake hopping in wild lakes using a #packraft by Kokopelli packrafts. On this first episode I hike with all the trip's gear and make a camp just 1.5 km away from the first lake. Best way for me to see if i forgot something vital before i hit the lakes and more trails. As usual there is some campfire cooking, bit of rain on the first night but the tarp shelter did its job.

Special thanks to #kokopellipackraft for sponsoring this trip via product samples.

#Packrafting is a fairly new sport that's picked up popularity in the past years. Their ability to be folded into the size of a small sleeping bag, makes packrafts a great tool for #adventure. People going on hiking and lake hopping trips, exploring remote mountain rivers or just looking to have some fun with whitewater rapids. Or like myself, looking for a lightweight vessel to reach those hidden painting locations.

This multi day trip is a way for me to see if packrafting is something for me or not. Its a great way to access remote lakes and rivers with my outdoor painting gear. As usual time and hard use will tell about the products durability and usefulness.

Please consider getting some instruction on packrafting or kayaking before taking on any adventure with it, in any kind of water. Always observe safety measures like proper instruction, helmets, life jackets, repair kits, etc... After all even though these thing are built super tough, it's an air filled raft you are sitting on and they do puncture if unlucky.

Next part will be up next weekend.

New videos every week, thanks for watching!
