Raft Camping - Kokopelli Packraft - Solo Wilderness Trip - Tarp shelter, Rain, cooking

- Опубліковано 26 лип 2019
- 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!

Simply mesmerising!
No music to ruin it, no talking, just the sounds of nature. Perfect.

Great idea with the storage on that raft, looks like a great product,almost an instructional video
Well that was a nice relaxing way to start my Sat morning. Hope the packraft works out for you and gets you to those cool painting spots. Cheers man.

Like the way you use the coals for cooking. Simple nutritious food cooked in the open ... no better taste. Great unit with lots of pluses and good to watch how it all comes together. Thanks for vlog part 1. Bushyboy Oz.

That's a nifty piece of kit, Ric. Another cool toy for the collection. 👍
Thanks Grumpy, yes, super cool 👍🏻. I don't collect stuff though. i give away or sell what i dont use. I do love trying new toys that seem useful for what i do, one of the perks of being a youtuber. Lotta fun. 👍🏻
You're amazing broo
That is the best and most versatile pack I've ever seen. What a great set up. I am very impressed with the pack raft. Thanks for sharing.
yes. great pack. Been with me for years, no problems so far, only happy times 👍
What an awesome video!! Kokopelli is a reminder of being part Hopi Native American 👍👍Keep up the good work buddy!!!
Love the name Kokopelli and what it represents 👍🏻

You made my day ;)
👍
At 21:53 where he stuck his finger in the hole....i giggled a little.
Escape from Hell!! love it.
เจ๋ง cool😍
Looking forward to see how stabil that packraft is in the water. And how you get in and out of it. Look perfect for my trips to Sweden in may. There is a lot of small lakes that iv wanted to explore for a long time. That thing might just do the job.
Good to see you again this time I was smart and cook a meal before I started watching and ate my lunch with you. That is a very interesting raft I like the internal storage option maybe you could do a review on that let us know what you think.
Will do after a few seasons of use 👍
Now this is cool! Really dig that you have that really compact touring paddle, for such a small craft. Must be a joy to paddle?! Enjoyed your video very much, thumbs up from Sweden!
Thanks, yes lotta fun
That’s pretty cool pal 🙂 👍 reminds me of something from James Bond lol 🙂
it actually does lol
Got disctracted with the fine cookin!
That's a badass Pack Raft ! I may need to get one of them babies lol ....great video man I look forward to part 2 !!;::,;;; Spook
Great vid. But I must say it looked like precious hard work. You get a A+ for effort my friend.
That was a very intriguing packraft; I wanted to know more so I went to their website to see the other variations. Frankly, I was a bit interested in the fishing or lake version. They seem to be reasonably priced.
- Storage inside the tube! I never thought of that, I thought the tube was necessary for the max. floatation and I expected to see you have to put your pack between the legs or behind your seat. Does the use of the tube for storage affect the load capacity or balance?
- Set up time - my guess for the first time it took 30 min or so? A person who has practised could probably set up in half that time.
- The bag to inflate vs. the micro-electrical pump vs. a foot pump; the micro pump seemed to be quite efficient.
- Entry/exit; how comfortable or easy was it for you?
- How much freeboard did you have? With you and your gear - how close were you to the 300 # capacity?
- Did you use the spray skirt on this?
- What was the total weight impact for you? Packraft + pump + paddle + PFD + boat safety kit? In Canada for example, kayaks still have to carry a minimal safety kit (PFD, whistle, heaving line, bailer/pump, flares).
- What was it like for heat transfer from you through the membrane to the water?
Those look good too. 1. Probably. Less air less boyancy but they do note a max load capacity of 136 kg. As long as you don’t go above that including your own weight all should be good. And that should have been tested with the tubes filled up I would imagine. I saw no difference when it was full or not, apart from when picking it up from the water and carrying it loaded. The main pack goes on top of the front part of the raft secured by straps.
2. Set up is quite quick if you watch how to videos. Few minutes really. Without them, yes half an hour probably.
3. I found it super easy and stable to get in compared to canoes or kayaks. Specially if you do it horse saddle style then put your legs in. They are very stable rafts in my opinion.
4. Myself, gear, food,
painting gear + raft, around the 130 kilo mark give or take a kilo or two.
5. Micro or feather pump is the most practical and weights close to nothing. The raft inflates in seconds. But I will always carry the bag as well. I never trust electrical things 100% specially on water based trips
6. Yes when it was raining only
7. See number 4. including safety gear and food etc . on their website they have a full weight list for each part of the raft and gear
8. Definitely there is conductive heat loss if you don’t use a barrier of sorts betwwen yourself and the boats floor. The integrated inflatable seat does a great job insulating you from the water, never felt chilly or cold. They sell a full air deck but I just use my seat pad on my feet
Great questions 👍
😊👍
love your channel ... I will buy one for sure cause I know you wouldn't use it and advertise it, if it made out of bad quality ...keep up the good work ..
big fan from Arizona...
Thank you. I am trying it out, not telling anyone to buy it. if people want to try it with me cool. Quality it has but i will know for sure with time and hard use. Its an expensive asset, but i think for what i have seen so far, will be great for what i do. again, time will tell
😱😱❤
nice one can i put on my frost river page greeting from the netherlands
Thanks, yes
Spider caught some dinner @ 03:28
LOL! I saw that too!
totally missed that. glad i got to share the grub lol 👍🏻 or did i eat the spider? not the first time ha!
👍
Nice job. Are those inflation valves compatible with those on Alpacka rafts so you could use that battery powered pump on the Alpacka as well? Thanks.
No idea. Sorry
Rest in peace
did the rest of your meal(rice and veggis) get cold?
btw nice video
What's your review of this raft? I got the smaller version (the hornet) and I like it. But I am 5'11", 185 Lbs and it feels a bit small for my size. Let me know how you like your raft. Thank you.
🤝💪🏼👍🏼🙏
🤠👍👍👍❤️
What length paddle do you use?
Do make sure that T-zipper-pull doesn't snag and you be mostly safe to go anywhere ;)
good point. better tape that zipper tag next time. did not think of that. thanks
@@NagualeroArt bit surprised it's just dangling there anyways? especially in a T shape, which seems to be more prone to actually snag on something. Should probably have some rubber T shaped 'sink' extending from the zipper end where one can push it in. More secure like that, and less prone to snagging.
Dunno if they asked you for feedback, but if so, feel free to share that thought above ;)
Will do
Hi mate, what is the model of this packraft, your link doesn’t work anymore, thanks
