Synopsis

PACKRAFTING! is about exploring wilderness and whitewater by packraft, a lightweight, portable boat usually weighing less than five pounds. Written by well-known packrafting instructor and adventurer, Roman Dial, this is the first book published on the topic. The slim volume offers both stories and instruction with full-color photographs from trips around the world. Dial shares information about gear and technique as well as the many applications for using small, packable boats. Packrafting can be combined with mountaineering, backcountry skiing, mountain biking or trekking as part of long expeditions, or short day trips.
