You get packrafting.

This is our full 2-day packrafting documentary through the wild forests, rivers, and villages of Eifel National Park, Germany — organized by https://packrafttravel.nl/. It was beautiful, exhausting, peaceful, and chaotic… sometimes all at once.

This wasn’t just a trip — it was a test of patience, balance, legs, and packraft valves. And we’d do it again in a heartbeat.

📸 Equipment
(*Note that I value lightweight, compact and budget friendly options because of the type of travels I normally do)

iPhone 15 Pro Max - https://amzn.to/3SKEOPR
I have moved over to the iPhone for most of the ground footage - it actually takes amazing videos and my phone is always close by.

DJI Mini 4 Pro - https://amzn.to/3W8MVI5
I absolutely love this drone - it’s small, compact and provides amazing footage.

GoPro - https://amzn.to/3W88ok9
I still use the GoPro for the ‘on the go’ shots. It has great stablization, battery life and video quality.
