Alpacka's largest and burliest packraft, the self bailing Forager delivers family seating and massive cargo capacity in a whitewater worthy backpackable package. Perfect for family river adventures, fly-in tandem lightwater and whitewater trips, and backcountry big game hunting.
The Forager is light enough to backpack for two. Want to load it up? The Forager’s XL Cargo Fly will take hundreds of pounds of cargo and keep it safe and dry while improving stability and handling. If you are looking for a multi person packraft that can handle everything from a classic western river trip, to fly in trips to the remote areas of Alaska, to self-supported big game hunting, to backcountry drift boat fishing, to worldwide travel, the Forager has all your bases covered.
The Forager can be paddled either by kayak style paddle from the stern or with two canoe style paddles with two adults. In single paddler kayak mode, you can load up the front with the family, pets, or extra gear on a backcountry hunt. In two paddler R2 mode, experienced paddlers can take on classics like the Grand Canyon and Middle Fork of the Salmon. We recommend the Aqua Bound Shred Apart paddle with the Forager.
*Forager passenger platform seat sold separately.
Ranger vs Forager?
The Forager and Ranger are scaled versions of the same design. The Forager is larger, offering greater ability to carry two adults or multiple kids and pets. The Ranger is lighter, more maneuverable, and offers a better seating position for a single paddler, making it the choice if you are going to generally be limited to one dog or one kiddo. For hunting, the Forager offers the most capacity and is the best option if you want to hunt moose or don't want to be space limited. The Ranger will comfortably carry any mid-sized big game animal plus all of your gear in a more backpack friendly weight.

Build Configurations:
- Cargo Fly Zipper:
Our innovative Cargo Fly internal storage system comes standard on the Ranger. The Cargo Fly features an airtight zipper installed in the stern of the boat to allow you to store your gear inside the tubes. The system provides drier and more secure gear storage and improved paddling performance due to a lower center of gravity.
Internal Dry Bags may be purchased separately and are designed to work with the Cargo Fly system. The bags clip in place along each side of the tubes with a side release buckle and allow for better organization and weight balance than placing the contents of your pack loose inside the Cargo Fly. They also act as additional balanced air chambers to make it easier to get to shore in the event of a puncture.
Specs:
*Due to the handmade nature of our packrafts and natural variances in weights between different colors and production runs in our fabrics, all weights and dimensions are averages and will vary from boat to boat. Weight does not include passenger seat, inflation bag, stuff sack, or repair kit.
