Wish you a very enjoyable and safe trip. Please tell us more about your route! Would love to do something similiar in the future.

My Twelka and Two-Person packrafts are nearly finished (will post pictures when they are). I love to build these, so I’m eagerly looking forward to order two more kits (Skeena and Ultralight) in september.
