"Why is Backpacking Light / Ryan Jordan focusing on pack rafting so much lately? I for one would like to see more reviews around backpacking not packrafting."

A few years ago I had the same mindset. But I have changed my mind, and if you spend any time in Chaff, you know that you have a better chance of getting the sun to set in the east than changing my mind.

I think I might ask my wife to buy me a packraft for my birthday.

I am also now more interested in articles on other outdoor activities here on BPL. Many people like Ryan have a wide range of interests and it is enjoyable to read about them. My outdoor life also spans areas beyond backpacking. Besides, one can shove a packraft in their pack :)

Here is an interesting link Dave C posted on his blog. Really cool trip with some creative planning. Maybe I need to learn how to speak Spanish and try it.

As for Ryan's article. Too little information. He is trying to whet our appetite and tease us into purchasing his packrafting options :)

Nick,
Alpackas are the McHales of packrafts. Ooooo, now they sound REALLY tempting! :)

They're a blast!

But everyone says McHales are too heavy :)

I already have an inflatible, but it won't fit in my pack.

Looks like you need a bigger pack.
Glad you got back ok. It's funny how mishaps fail to detract from an adventure.
