Welcome to the Hunt Backcountry Podcast. This is episode number 490 and as part of the

experience project today Steve and I are talking about our experience pack crafting on our

recent Caribou hunt in Alaska. In the previous episode we talked about our experience with

the flights and how that went and this is a similar conversation where we just recap our experiences but this time with pack crafting.

It was relatively new for both of us to

packcraft. Steve and I both separately have been on the water in different ways and

We do have a prior conversation with Thor from Alpaca packgrafts, where we cover what is a packraft, how do you use one, how do you select

we learned on this caribou hunt, how the rafts handled in what ended up being very swift water, what

it was like to load them with meat, gear, and the antlers, and those types of topics.

As always, we appreciate you guys tuning in.

conversation about packcrafting for hunts. So, Patrafting, completely brand new to me, Steve, I know, quite new to you before this.

And of course, we have the pre-hunt episode where we talked with

Thor from al-Paca rafts so again there's much more in that episode in terms of what to know about pack crafts, how to get
