Raft Article

[Mckinnon]

I really enjoyed and and learned alot from the raft article by Luke, it could add a whole new dimension to scouting and hunting for me. Just by taking this into consideration I think I have opened up 2 new possible areas for myself.

Can you post the URL? I have a raft with oar frame rig. I've used it for fishing many times but always wondered what I could do with it hunting.

Ah, found the article. Big Sky makes a nice packable raft as well. Very popular in BC with the steelhead fisherman, who often go down some challenging rivers.

Rafting as a whole has opened many doors here in Alaska. Pack rafting has gotten me into a whole new level of accessible land. Luke's article covers a fairly new addition to the market, the Big Rig, developed by Larry Bartlett of Pristine Ventures.

Payload to weight ratio is most excellent at 800# and 16# packed weight. I hope to be running one this fall on a sheep hunt.

I'll give a thumbs up to Bartlet also, I'm buying a Levitator and he has been super helpful.
