In a word, floatation. I don’t have a solid roll so anytime I flip in a hard shell, it’s a swim. The packraft has great primary stability and while a roll also means a swim, I could more easily self-recover.

The following is a transcription of my handwritten journal from a nearly month-long trip down the Grand Canyon of the Colorado. Slight edits have been made to remove personal information. Grand Canyon of the Colorado November - December, 2021 with Collin, Graham, Jason, Tyler, Steve and Nick -...

Unfortunately, I have never personally had access to the negatives nor do I believe KSL did. I can’t say for sure but I’m of the understanding the reporter who did the story in 2006 only had prints.

Looking to stock a bookshelf at the family cabin. Figured I’d turn to BCP for some suggestions. So what are the best outdoor-related books you’ve read? Looking for recommendations for both children and adults, with a mix of fiction and non-fiction (excluding guidebooks). To get things started...
