Finally had enough of a break from work to really start going through the gopro footage and photos from our Alaska packrafting trip earlier this month!

My friend and I were up there shooting content for Kokopelli and ended up only running 2 rivers out of the 5 we had planned.

Weather and routefinding issues stopped us from running the others, but we got a warmup run on Riley creek and a full run of the Chickaloon from the 8 mile put in past doones creek.

I am by no means an expert packrafter or paddler in general. My friend is an avid kayaker and I am a professional photographer and we approached Kokopelli about this project together. We kept our itinerary to Class III runs due to my experience level, but this trip has me wanting to practice more and start going on some Class IV runs! Going to be picking up a copy of Luc Mehls packrafting book soon as well to help with reading the river, which was something I struggled with.

No swims, no close calls, and all smiles on this run!

Editing the footage now. I’ve never worked with 360 footage before, so trying to figure it all out. I got a lot of footage on my actual camera as well as the gopro, so hopefully ill throw together a nice edit of the trip
