Alpacka Forager Packraft

The Forager is highly versatile and can be configured for both solo and tandem use. While it is spacious enough for two, a solo paddler can easily manage it, especially when utilizing the internal storage to balance the load.

The self-bailing floor is designed for rapid water drainage, which is essential for maintaining stability in Class III and IV whitewater. It allows water that splashes into the raft to exit immediately, keeping the boat lighter and more responsive.

The Cargo Fly is an internal storage system that allows you to pack your gear inside the raft's tubes. Because the gear is stored inside the airtight hull, it remains protected from water, mud, and external elements throughout your trip.

Yes, it is built with a high-denier TPU-coated nylon hull and an even tougher 840d nylon floor. This construction is engineered to withstand abrasion from rocks and debris, making it suitable for demanding, remote environments.

While 14.4 lbs is substantial compared to ultralight solo rafts, it is quite reasonable for a boat with a 1,000 lb capacity and Class IV whitewater capability. It is best suited for shorter approaches or trips where the raft is the primary mode of transport rather than a secondary accessory.

The Forager has a total capacity of 1,000 lbs. This figure includes the weight of the paddlers, their gear, and any additional supplies you are carrying.
