This Blog really targets on a niche: the activity, equipment, and
people of packrafting, geographically focusing on Europe.
On the other hand, as a combined activity like packrafting, we
embrace traditional hiker, original water sport enthusiasts and
outdoorsy people alike. In fact, packrafting brings together two
distinguished cultures: backpacker and paddler. Packrafting also is
a worldwide phenomenon.
Since 2010 the Blog has been an initiative to establishing
packrafting in Europe.
It originates from Marc Kreinacker and Sven Schellin, which have
been packrafter for many years, but met prior to that. Both raised
in Saxony near Leipzig/Germany in the mid 70ies, yet first got to
know each other in Calgary/Canada in 2003. Always having been
kayaker and canoeists (with a fable for inflatables), they have a
water sport background. Once caught by the trekking ultralight bug
around 2006, packrafting was a natural follow up to combine those
two passions.
However, many others contributed to the blog with content, guest
posts and comments. We are happy to see the community growing!
We favour creativity over records, value originality over
performance. Packrafts are the perfect tool for that.
The Blog is also part and the origin of Anfibio Packrafting, which
is elaborated on our organisation site
Anfibio.com.
