The first Alpacka raft was built for an off-trail trek across the Brooks Range, Alaska.  More than ten years later we're still designing and hand-building simple, tough boats with the best materials and techniques available.  Alpacka rafts are artisan craft, from stem to stern. Each one has a little personality of its own. 

For us, it's about staying true to our vision - and our vision is not focused on the boat.  It's about doing what you want to do and going where you want to go.  At the end of the day, the boat is only a tool.

So... good boating!

	A Brief History of Alpacka  Where did these little boats come from? Well, it all started in Chugiak...
	Packrafting Lore: A Small History of Small Boats  What is "packrafting?" Where did it come from?
	Expeditions & Alpackas  A brief overview of the expeditionary history of Alpacka Rafts.
	Alpacka Durability & Specific Case Histories  Hull durability is our top priority. We're often asked (with good reason) "how tough is the boat?" or "what will damage it?" We've assembled specific information and examples here.
	Green Boats...  Our number-one ecological principle: build non-disposable craft that are high-performance, long-lasting, and economical. We think we've figured out how to do it.
	The Single Air Chamber Design  Your boat has one main air chamber and 2 seat chambers. This is the safest, most durable design for a raft of this size and weight.
	Befriending Your Alpacka: The Intention behind the Design.  Alpacka rafts are designed for clear purposes and built to exact specifications. Everything on your boat is there for a reason. Our boats are about putting the adventure back into wilderness boating.
