Podcast: The Fight to Permit Packrafting in the Grand Canyon

I clicked on this Podcast to see if the quality had gotten any better from the last one I tried to listen to. What a nice surprise I got.

Not only was the quality much improved but the content was really interesting. I read all the emails first so I had some idea of the process necessary to get permission for the trip.

Carol has always done a super job as an interviewer and my respect for Roman comes from reading about many of his trips.

What a great way to expand the understanding of going light. Props to NPS for being willing to work with you!

Ryan/BPL Team,
I have to say in the last few months this site has gone from great to amazing. From the new email formats to the content you guys are putting out there. You guys make my Wednesday mornings at work fly by and all I can say is thanks (and keep the awesome cheaper gear coming :)

A huge percentage of the NP is off-limits to visitors and the "Govt" doesn't want easy access to these areas. It will take an act of God to allow even restricted pack-rafting.
