I saw this video on a lazy Saturday, cracked a tall IPA, pulled out my Bob map and followed along. Thanks Dan! Subconsciously you forgot that item for a reason??

The KZitem algorithm is funny. I've seen all of your gear reviews but this is the first hike that has came up. Look like a hike that I would love to do. Very graceful log crossing as I'm writing this ha ha. Thanks for taking us along. ✌

For this fly fisherman, KBarL sure looks like a great place to spend a week. Already checked it out. Oh, your hike was great too😉. As always, thanks for some great Montana scenery!

The N fk and S fk of the Sun are both beautiful streams! I edited out the part where Adam talked about the "golden" trout at Bear lake, which he though were actually Yellowstone cutthroat that turned gold in the sunlight. It would be a slice of heaven for a week.

@@ShastaBubba Before I can sign up for a KBarL week, I gotta figure out what to do with my pup since I see no pets allowed. That is if I drove out, which I prefer. If I decide to fly, that question becomes a lot simpler.

Loved seeing the trip. Anxious to see some more pack rafting adventures with the new raft. Still on the fence between purchasing the Gnarwhal or Wolverine. What is your brimmed hat? Looks like it would breath easily on the sides.

It's the REI Sahara Guide Hat: www.avantlink.com/click.php?tt=cl&merchant_id=e295c418-295a-447c-b265-734e25f82503&website_id=345523ea-2f51-482a-8572- I'm anxious to do packrafting too! Planning to try again in a couple weeks, if the predicted sunshine doesn't push the water level to flood stage. The videos I've seen at Alpaca Raft seem to indicate that the Gnarwhal is only really appropriate for big/tall folks, like 6'2" and up. I'm 6' even and the Wolverine feels perfect to me.

@@ShastaBubba I’m 58 and 6’2”, do you think that extra 2” would make the Wolverine uncomfortable for me? Im assuming your feet touch the front, how much are your feet bent or can you actually straighten out your legs? Thanks for any info on this big purchase.

@@dansutherland1083 It is a huge purchase, so I get the anxiety about getting it right. The folks at Alpaca Raft were really good at answering my email questions about the right boat to pick. I think that 6'2" is right on the edge between boats. My feet touch the front, but they are against an inflatable foot rest, so there might be some adjustment there. Also, there's a back band that I have a couple inches away from the back of the boat, so a little leeway there too. Good luck!
