Belgium 2020-12-13: Packrafting Semois (Bouillon - Poupehan)

[@olivierherlin2176]

Very ambitious treck! Allways nicely filmed, thankyou!. Today I did the Vierre with my packraft. Martilly-Suxy. Low bridges were no issue but there are 4 fallen trees=4 times hop off hop on.

Thanks for the info. Did Vierre back in January. 2 fallen trees & 1 low bridge at the time.

Graf van de reus. This place was playing in my mind also. However i dont have a packraft but a touring x500 inflatable kayak. But as always nicely done master.

Hello ! Wich backpack do you use ?

[@filiphaclaeys]

It's a 25 year old Lowe Alpine that seems to be indestructible.

@@filiphaclaeys Ok. Thank you !

Hi, what is the make of your raft?

[@filiphaclaeys]

It's an Alpacka Classic (model 2015).

[@jean-francoisegueur4973]

@@filiphaclaeys Thanks for answer. I would like to buy a cheap raft because I am a beginner. Do you have a brand to recommend? (I have seen an Itiwit -500 €- in Decathlon shop: do you know this model ?). Thanks.

@@jean-francoisegueur4973 Yes, I know of it. Never seen it in real life though (in fact, I think it’s not for sale in Belgium at the moment). A packraft that has a good balance between sturdiness, weight, agility, flat water speed, … is typically not cheap I'm afraid.
