  • 3 Days spent in my new Alpacka Packraft, really enjoyed getting out to a local canal to practice in my packraft and try out my gear before my trip up to Scotland. I spend 2 nights wild camping alone in some lovely countryside, paddling about with a bit of fishing. Moreover I rate this Alpacka raft so much and think its a great piece of kit for future trips when you want to combine hiking/cycling with paddling.
    I hope you enjoy this video :)

    I purchased an Itiwit kayak earlier in the year. It opens up tons of new possibilities on where I can camp - and also means it is less likely that other people can discover your camp spot. A total win/win.

    For this type of fishing I recommend an ultralight equipment, a 1000 or 2000 reel and a shorter rod, they are short shots and from the boat you do not need much, apart, if you manage to hook a fish, the fight of the animal is much more enjoyed, great video as usual, keep inspiring other girls!

  • @johnbrantley4695
    @johnbrantley4695 5 місяців тому

    Thank you for a great video! I have the Alpacka "Mule" and love it; at 79, I am limited to the amount of weight I can haul about these days so the pack raft is a perfect solution for my camping trips.
    One thing potential buyers should give thought to is having the zipper- storage option installed. I really wanted this feature but after researching the extra tending the zipper required ( eg sand in the teeth) and how useless the raft would suddenly be if far out on a trip the zipper failed ( you can patch a simple puncture), I very reluctantly just bought the basic raft, which is admittedly still expensive but oh so much fun!

That clip swivel takes all the twists out of your fishing line like magic , 👍👍👍 GLAD YOUR ENJOYING THE CRAP OUT OF IT BECKS ..

    Since I never experienced anything like that I told another inspector and he said they wanted food.

Also a tip about fishing in an inflatable, lift the fish as far away from the side of the boat as possible because the lure hooks can puncture the inflatable. Please don’t ask me how I know this.
