#11 The Packraft Handbook - behind the scenes with Luc Mehl
Episode 11
Friday, 4 June, 2021

After losing a friend in a packrafting incident seven years ago, Luc was rattled to the core. It became a catalyst for a new chapter in his own packrafting journey, where he totally reassessed his own skillset and started learning more about safety. This led him to write The Packraft Handbook, which we focus on in this episode. Those of you who already have a copy of the book will enjoy the extra background on the book writing process and getting to know Luc on more of a personal level.EPISODE LINKS:Things to Luc at - Alaskan AdventureLuc's Vimeo (lots of great videos!)Luc's InstagramOrder The Packraft Handbook via Luc's websiteThe Packrafting Podcast on InstagramPodcast sponsored by Alpacka Raft:Alpacka Raft has been handcrafting packrafts for 20 years and has spearheaded packrafting into its modern, more accessible era.
