It's free if you have Prime. Not sure how much if you don't.

Good video. A couple travels from Seattle to Aleutian Islands by hiking, packrafting, and skiing. Took a little over a year to travel the 4000+ miles. Not a trip for the weak.

Good show, they were here for a viewing and we went to see it. Think they live in Homer now.

Man that was a brutal trip. I would have gotten discouraged and gave up after crossing the bays and turning back due to pack ice multiple times.

yeah, I believe one of them damn near died trying to cross near a face of a glacier.

If you liked that, check these fellas out. Nothing as epic as the 4,000 mile trip but it's pretty amazing in it's own right. LINK

They have vids of them going from Yakutat to Haines while climbing Mt. Fairweather and going from Yakutat to McCarthy while skiing down Mt. Logan (19,000')

They didn't explain how the grizzly attack went down. If they were in the tent or close by. Just showed the aftermath of shredded tent, pad, and packraft.

Did you ever get a packraft? They look fun.

I did. They aren't the most stable of crafts but are awesome for lengthy trips. We're going to Admiralty Island Sunday and I'm bringing it to fish on a lake (if it's not frozen)

I've used it to run short stretches of whitewater here in town, and think I'm getting the hang of it. Only weights about 5 lbs.
