Safety First – Packrafting

In this video, packrafter Monica Morin presents Packrafting Awareness to help prepare packrafting enthusiasts for the upcoming season. Mimicking Avalanche Awareness education, this hour and a half talk is an introduction to what you need to know prior to getting on the water. Packrafting is growing exponentially as these light, stable, and durable tools are revolutionizing travel in the backcountry.  As with any tool, it is important to understand how to use it properly and safely.  Learn more about whitewater safety and the general paddling background and skills you need for packrafting, plus learn more about the evolution of the sport in our recent Q&A, “Monica Morin to Teach Packrafting Safety & Awareness.”
