Everything is strapped down and the only loose part is the passenger! You can account for the occasional capsize by picking bags that are submersible - think ortlieb bags. I've only run the lower fork of the American River and paddled up in Folsom Lake, so its pretty calm by most river

What a fun adventure, I've done a lot of paddling and biking, but never together. On Tuesday, September 20, 2022 at 10:18:02 AM UTC-7 brok...@gmail.com wrote: > This seems cool and all, but every time I see photos of folks packrafting > with their bikes and wheels all precariously strapped to

This seems cool and all, but every time I see photos of folks packrafting with their bikes and wheels all precariously strapped to the top of the raft, I just can't help from thinking how much it would suck to capsize with all your bike gear. Maybe I'm just too used to the waterways I've

That is so cool Collin! I've used my bike to shuttle from the take out of our favorite white water river (Mulberry River, AR). The take out was on our way upriver so it was convenient to do this. One or two of us would ride back to the vehicle(s) and drive back for the boats. Second time we

Very cool, Collin! I've been contemplating getting a packraft for a few years now. I was never sure how my 62cm Hunq would fit on it, but seeing your Appaloosa makes it seem very possible indeed! Thanks for sharing! Cheers, John On Sunday, September 18, 2022 at 12:50:46 PM UTC-7 J wrote: >

Good stuff Collin. I agree, packrafting is great! I haven't had the opportunity to do in some years and my setup was never as svelte as yours appears to be, but I didn't mind that. It was easier living out west where there were far less damns to contend with or maybe better said that distance
