00:42:46 Teresa Gryder: Can they all keep gear dry inside the tubes? 00:46:13 Teresa Gryder: Can you roll them? 00:46:47 Sam Gregory: options for thickness of fabric? if so, obviously weight differences? 00:46:49 Teresa Gryder: Are you using a sprayskirt with yours?? 00:47:10 Dennis: Which one is better for multiday trips? 00:50:49 Dennis: Wolverine or gnarwhal? 00:52:19 martin: Do you sit on the floor or is there a seat? 00:52:51 Dennis: Do those weight specs include the paddler? 00:54:28 Jana Read: How well can you see over your bike? 00:54:58 Karen Amundson: Do you use a hand pump to blow it up? How long does it take? 00:55:15 Roger Faaborg: How does the speed of a packraft compare to your hard-shell? 00:55:16 Camilla Barry: Why do you say you like packrafts, relating to not liking to be upside down 00:55:49 Dennis: Looks like you have the bow bag on the stern with the bike, correct? 00:56:23 martin: Do the shuttle guys get mad when they see you self shuttling with your bike? 00:56:35 Teresa Gryder: LOL 00:59:44 Teresa Gryder: Nik do you roll a packraft? 01:00:02 Teresa Gryder: How hard was it 01:00:47 Teresa Gryder: Valkyrie 01:01:15 martin: Is it a hassle to load and unload your gear from the packraft tubs (see overnight trips)? 01:01:26 Teresa Gryder: thanks 01:02:04 Teresa Gryder: I have a girlfriend that uses the packraft inner tubes in her K1 for self support 01:04:31 Karen Amundson: About how much does a Gnarwahl cost? And the accessories? 01:05:01 Karen Amundson: Does it come with a pack, or is that a separate item? 01:05:03 Dennis: How careful do you need to be when leaving the inflated packraft in the sun out of the water? 01:06:27 Teresa Gryder: Put me on the Escalante list!! Please? 01:06:29 Lynne Carpenter: Just FYI for anyone interested in purchasing a packraft - Not sure if they still do this, but Alpacka used to have a sale at the end of the year (between Thanksgiving and Christmas. If I remember right it was 10% off the boat and maybe the accessories. 01:07:50 Teresa Gryder: Chetco in Oregon, that’s my reason to buy one. 01:09:53 Dennis: Is the thinner fabric less likely to puncture because it is more flexible? 01:10:02 Sam Gregory: Do you worry about not having a spare paddle? Where would you pack it? 01:10:26 Teresa Gryder: Can fit spare inside the tubes, 2, 3, or 4 piece. 01:10:43 Lynne Carpenter: I made some maps for the escalante, with coordinating GPS points, if anyone is interested Similar to RiverMaps. 1:24K with topo base.. 01:11:25 Teresa Gryder: Lynn I’m interested in your escalante notes. T4eresa at gmail good enough? 01:11:48 Lynne Carpenter: Sure. 🙂 01:12:07 Teresa Gryder: Goodie 😃 Thanks!! 01:12:32 Nik White: Lynne I'm also interested nawhite@gmail.com! 01:12:50 Teresa Gryder: Been waiting all my life for an Escalante trip. Not going if not enough WATER. 01:12:58 Lynne Carpenter: I’ll send out a Google Drive link to the group. 01:14:13 Debbie Hinde: Go to https://www.poudrepaddlers.org/videos.html and scroll to see a presentation on the Escalante River. 01:14:28 Will Gehr: A friend who has the Alpaca whitewater model says that when paddled unloaded its light weight allows it to get pushed around by waves, and that takes some getting used to. Different from a hardshell, definitely. 01:17:40 Lynne Carpenter: I have an Aire Bakraft if someone wants to try one of those. Really fun! 01:18:07 Teresa Gryder: Any work on when the Valkyrie is going to be available ? 01:18:38 greg brunworth: If you are looking for a cheaper option, try https://www.diypackraft.com/. 01:18:47 Teresa Gryder: The sprayskirts are flimsy for both brands… want durability here! 01:19:53 Mari Baldwin: I joined late—what model would you recommend for multiway trips like the MF Salmon? 01:21:03 Mari Baldwin: I was referring to self support kayak. I’ve taken Aire Lynx 01:21:17 Teresa Gryder: For you, Mari, Wolverine if not one of the boats you already have. Mari packs light. 01:22:00 Teresa Gryder: What kind of IK Erin? 01:22:08 Teresa Gryder: thx 01:23:39 Will Gehr: Does the smaller Alpaca model have the space to load enough for a small person for 7 days? Another way of asking this is, if the person and load are not weight limited (at 250 lbs), is there enough space (say 40-60 liters)? 01:24:25 Lynne Carpenter: We should also mention the American Packraft Association. They’ve had several meet-ups for pack rafters - one was in Glenwood and it was a BLAST. Look them up! 01:25:08 Teresa Gryder: Makes me want to go to Slovenia. Beautiful! 01:26:22 Nik White: @Will, if you had the T-Zip to put gear inside the tubes, you'd probably be fine but you might want to up size (get a large size wolverine over a medium wolverine) if you're going to have a lot of gear 01:27:15 Dennis: The paddler is usiing a four piece paddle 01:27:50 Erin D: Do I sit less low in a ducky? 01:28:01 Erin D: Than a ducky 01:28:16 Will Gehr: Thans Nik 01:28:52 richard: Thanks Diane, Nik, Debbie, and all. 01:29:43 Teresa Gryder: put the beer in the front? 😃 01:30:04 Erin D: Is there someplace to brace my feet? 01:30:23 Teresa Gryder: THANKS!!!! 01:31:14 Teresa Gryder: If I can join for a Rogue trip I will. 😁 Might bring a non-packraft... 01:31:16 Brookie : great presentation! Thanks 01:31:22 Will Gehr: Thank you Diane! 01:31:49 Erin D: Teresa I would be honored to have you join me! 01:31:51 Jana Read: thanks 01:32:11 Erin D: Thanks! Jim I look forward to talking more!
