    Winding its way through the lush, vibrant, green forest of Golden Ears park is Gold Creek with its beautiful clear water and bottom of multi-coloured stones. This paddle turned out to be a very fun and rewarding adventure for Alex and I in our packrafts, consisting of a hike in and float out to our starting point. Thanks for watching!

    We did not find gold, but the paddling is just as good

    One question: where was Nina when you ran the most technical bits solo?

    you should go take a whitewater paddling course, as a whitewater instructor there are so many things that made me cringe in this video

    • @blueman5924

      lack of pfd ?

      I agree..... I hope they had fun but they can learn a lot from this.
      fun river but the lack of basic safety equipment is putting yourselfs at risk and others. SAR teams are flat out with inexperienced folks doing things without the basics done right. Posting these adventures on youtube is great but as posted above. Practice and get some training. Best of luck in the future.

    What brand of packraft did you use? And where'd you get the little pump? That looked super cool.

    • @lifeofluke
      @lifeofluke  2 роки тому +2

      We both had Alpackarafts and Alex's battery pump is made by flextailgear

    • @advnturerob8899
      @advnturerob8899 Рік тому

      Did the pump work out of the box for your raft since Alpacka rafts has a proprietary valve or did you have to make some kind of modification?

    I am grateful to see you using the I think foxtail pump to inflate the Packraft I ordered a new pump for my sleeping pad and wondered if it would work for my new Packraft that I received but now it’s dumping snow. So I am waiting for my dry suit.

    amazing video and adventure wow 👏 .
    just curious, do you have extra paddle? what if you lose one?, how do you know that theres a waterfall approaching?gps?
    tnx for the video.

    • @lifeofluke
      @lifeofluke  2 роки тому +1

      Thanks Frankie! No extra paddle, you just don't drop or let go of yours. We scouted the creek on the way up and knew where the upper and lower falls were, so we also knew where to get out.

    Try Mamquam Lake --> Pitt Lake --> New Westminster. Some guy on CTread tried it and had to get air lifted out

    • @lifeofluke
      @lifeofluke  2 роки тому

      Ya I've seen how beautiful that part of the Southern Garibaldi Park-Pitt watershed-Pinecone Burke area is, but also quite remote, so it's no wonder that few people ever see that area.
