Packrafting is an Alaska born sport that's picked up popularity in the past ten years. Because of their ability to be folded into the size of a small sleeping bag, packrafts have become a favorite adventure tool among backpackers looking to extend hiking trips, and thrill-seekers looking to conquer whitewater rapids. Meet Luc Mehl, an adventurer who's been packrafting in Alaska for 15 years.
