[@angusbidgood]

Looks like you guys had an awesome time!

Immer wieder erstaunlich, dass ein offenes Packraft, doch so gut durchs Wildwasser kommt. Grüße ronactive

This looks very nice, what a trip! I'm glad the flat water paddle at the end was offset by the blast across the lake.

We were hoping for high flows on the Gordon as it’s supposed to be quite exciting at high flows. :) Unfortunately it was a bit of a slog :(. Still beautiful though.

cool trip and vid - also great section on portaging over rocks I will be able to show mum to stop her worrying :)

[@yuriklaver4639]

beautifull. well done!

[@richardfare7633]

Interesting video. The level of the Denison was significantly higher than on my own trip, yet the level on the Gordon going through Sunshine Gorge was a fair bit lower (power station mustn't have been at full discharge). I didn't spot those two interesting side creeks on the Gordon though. Will have to keep a better eye out for them next time.

Looks an awesome trip! What sort of packrafts are these?

[@MarkOates]

Mostly Kokopelli Nirvana 2017 self-bailers (quite different to and better than current generation of Nirvana) plus one Alpacka Yak DIY self-bailer and one Nirvana XL. Cheers

Hey mate, what packs are you guys using and how many litres? Im looking at buying a northrim hyperlite for canyoning/packrafting trips anf thought that your bags looked like the perfect size. Cheers

[@MarkOates]

We have been using the HMG Porter packs for the past 9 years (I think). They have generally been excellent although can get uncomfortable when we combine canyoning and packrafting gear for cold environments due to the large weight we are carrying. They are not as waterproof as they make out but they have handled pretty tough Tassie scrub well. That said sockdolagerequipment.com is going to be the next pack that I try (I believe it will be released soonish) as they have a more advanced harness system that should handle the extra weight better. I haven't tried one of these yet but am hoping to soon.

@@MarkOates cool, I didn't know he was releasing a bag. I've been using his bow bag for a while and really love it. Thanks mate!

[@GalletasLife]

What brand of packraft is that? You still like it? I was last in Tasmania in 1993..hiked the Overland Route..spectacular! Excellent video editing!

[@cjsoutdoors4412]

I'm also interested in learning the Packraft brands and models that were used please.
