Packrafting … onto the local news!!!

awesome! Good job promoting packrafting. I like how after your interview, she ends with "What you didn't see, it packs down and he carries it in his backpack, and it weighs 5 only pounds."

I know, right? I really have to hand it to the reporter Nikki Burdine from WUSA9; she was really nice and had such a great attitude. She was really interested in how it packed, the weight etc. It was so cool to see the "first reaction" of folks understanding the capabilities of packrafting – not for my ego in the limelight but just to show the amazing potential for certain tools/resources. Of course the gridlock setting framed the potential of packrafting in a way that was undeniable; there was almost no other way to practically reach the DC Tidal Basin at that time.
