How to Build the Ultimate Whitewater Raft for Camping - Part 1 - Mountain State Overland

It's all about the hunt for remote and wild spaces. Sometimes the best kept secrets are riverside. We're going to build this ‪@rmrrockymountainrafts‬ 13' Whitewater Raft for some overnight summer adventures in the New River National Park. In this video, we'll cover frame selection, rigging, dry boxes, oar setup and basic step-by-step instructions for building the ultimate whitewater raft for camping, fishing and recreation.

Fantastic video. I’m in Fairmont WV. Just bought my first raft with frame. NRS Outlaw 130. In the process of tuning it as well. Can’t wait to get on the water.

Great video. You’re stoked. Clearly. Ive guided thirty seasons - many six day trips. Fishing trips. I detest those swivel seats. Ive seen people get flung out of them when the stern flexes over a rock. Just my opinion. I prefer a drop deck in the stern with waterproof bags mounded up as a stern fishing seat. Less metal. Safer. Also, a drop bag under your table platform would be a great place to throw gear and seal it down with the deck,table, Paco pad lounge. Also, great reminder about tightening those fixtures. I enjoyed this.

Totally stoked! It was a great year in this boat and we're ready for 2024!
