Question 1

What if I am new to packrafting?

Accepted Answer

There are four questions to ask yourself before renting a packraft and deciding on a trip:   Am I traveling with experienced packrafters? Do I have the experience to paddle this raft in unknown situations and do I have appropriate safety gear? Should I consider taking a packrafting course before I plan a trip? Do I know the weather forecast and all of the latest river information for where I want to packraft?

Question 2

How do I prepare for the trip?

Enjoying your trip means being fully prepared. If you have any doubt about your skill level, friend's skill level, or your trip plans, make sure you research your destination by reading blog entries by people who have been on that trip route recently.
