BHA mule. I really debated about the removable whitewater deck or the self bailer options. I actually ordered it open but may buy the retro self bailer kit if I see the need down the road. What is the difference between the BHA mule and the regular mule other than proceeds from the BHA version go to an anti hunting organization?

I have found a lot of helpful info on packrafting here, https://thingstolucat.com. Luc also has a book that is a really good resource.

Wow, it's come a long ways from the days of 2 truck tire inner tubes, a 100 feet of rope and a sheet of plywood.
Well this is a fine pickle we're in, should'a listened to Joe McCarthy and George Orwell I guess.

I have hunted a lot with my pack raft and love it but a larger model like pristines would be cool but they are expensive

Totally different game! Alpacka boats are light and packable as in Sub 10lb. yep I know. I used to have a frameless scaddon around 11 lbs . It got pretty hairy( at least for me) in anything over a class 1 with a load so opted for a heavier more stable platform. And I can get a heavy load out safely if needed. Ive packed the heavier one in 3 miles with a bivy and a tarp for over nighter. It wasn't fun but I felt much safer maybe because Im older lol Alpacka's can handle loads and whitewater just fine. They are great boats. Fully loaded with meat, etc, how much water do these rafts need to float? (I know, tough question answer)
