Hey errrrrybody Looking for an alpacka forager or other 2p capable packraft. (Lightweight). Hit me up if you have one you’d like to sell.

I’ll take the Striker :)

What in the absolute F!!? Man, that had to be frustrating - seems unreal it would be that far off from the factory. I wonder if they did it to offset the weight of the kicker or something? Still, seems too silly to be on purpose.

I like to pick up a new immersive hobby every couple years. I think spear fishing looks awesome, but I have some newb questions. 1- is there a good pnw spearfishing forum 2- any good books focused on the pnw youd recommend? 3- what thickness wetsuit would make our frigid waters bearable? It...

Did you go full tripod and almost lose your shit? 😆 I did.

Hella cougar tracks on all the banks. For reals.

How much just to touch it?

That tekota is a workhorse. Yarded up a 90lb halibut on 25lb leader last summer. I never rinse or care for my gear either - I'm crazy like that.
