This video will give you a quick overview of the features of our Alpacka Raft Oryx Packraft. The Oryx weighs in at about 11 pounds and is a two person non-self draining packraft that is configured similar to a canoe. The hull zips open to load gear for overnight trips. It packs down very small so it is easy to carry. We really enjoyed it on our four week tour of British Columbia as it allowed us to get out onto a lot of small lakes and took up very little room in the truck. Look for it in some of our future adventures!
Alpacka Raft Oryx Overview
This is a compilation of our five part video series on our grand loop tour of British Columbia. We explore the rivers, mountains and forests travelling north on the Cassiar Highway and south on the Alaska Highway, as well as several spots in southern BC.

After the Alaska Highway we continue our way south toward home, camping at British Columbia Recreation Sites, paddling lakes, fishing and just enjoying the road trip. Our trip around BC comes to an end in this video, part 5 of the series.
