FLOAT TRIP CAMPING GEAR RENTALS DESCRIPTION INFO

The ALASKA
RAFT CONNECTION provides reputable, dependable float trip
equipment and camping gear for campers to establish premier,
leave-no-trace campsites in Alaska's most remote wilderness
destinations. For the most part, float trip camps are neatly
nestled in, only casting-distance from unrivaled river-side sport
fishing and wildlife viewing opportunities. Using only
superior-featured custom outdoor camping gear; our exceptionally
well-built, rapid, and trouble-free set-up camps are beyond doubt
better equipped than anyone else in Alaska.
DEPENDABLE, STURDY, SPACIOUS, RAPID AND
EASY SET-UP 4-SEASON TENTS:
These tents are Alaska tested tough - specifically customized and
sewn in the U.S.A. Tents are as snug as cabins boasting stand-up
room!! Of greater importance - rapid deployment, bombproof, and
4-season Alaska weather tight!!! Fully featured for withstanding
even the worst hurricane force storms - yet effortless to set up
within five to seven minutes by even a beginner. The original
4-season design tent was intended for an American ascent of Mount K2
in the Himalayas and used as a safeguarding, maintenance-free base
camp. Many of my groups over the years have commented that this tent
is the most weatherproof, storm worthy, easy/quick set-up, and
spacious design they have ever experienced or set eyes on. We mainly
use two models of this straightforward, robust design. Our favorite
models are the 10' by 10' and 8'X8'. These tents have functional
features that make it superior to any other tent in existence for
multi-day river float trips here in Alaska. You will find our tents
are made to the highest standard and craftsmanship - making certain
of your absolute satisfaction, trip cheer, and interior comforts for
all 4 seasons in the great Alaskan outdoors!!!
These
features include:
1.) One and two easy entries, big doors, weatherproof gear stowing
vestibules
2.) The finest bug netting meshes
3.) Double-layer floored
4.) Pockets and clotheslines for personal gear
5.) Large windows for ventilation
6.) Nearly indestructible, oversized industrial zippers
7.) Storm fly (with an absolutely waterproof coating) that comes
completely to the ground locking out all inclement weather with
multiple guy-line tie outs
8.) Standing and elbow room to pull on and off waders and clothing
9.) Quick, easy setup (4-8 minutes) - Getting off river you’re much
better prepared
10.) Quick, easy takedown & packing - Getting on river faster and
better organized

Our smaller tents
(2-3 person) are made by MOUNTAIN HARDWEAR and are called the
TRANGO 2 and TRANGO 3.1 ARCH. These are the most rugged,
ridge-running tents with a stellar reputation on high altitude
mountaineering exploits. There is not a finer small tent
contrived. These tents have spacious vestibules, see-through
windows, numerous organizing pockets, and a skylight - while being
extremely bombproof and weather tight!
OUR SLEEPING PADS (thick
camping rests) are pure camp luxury!!!
Camping out in the Alaska
wilderness alongside the river should be nearer to creature
comforts of your own bed not counting critters trying to get a
little shut-eye. Getting a good nights rest is part of the premier
wilderness experience. At ALASKA RAFT CONNECTION think utmost comfort.

CAMPSITE SELECTION & PRACTICES:
Our objective is to establish tightly knit, well thought-out, and
impact-free campsites. By doing so, we facilitate the ability for
campers to set-up campsites in well-situated locations under more
favorable and manageable conditions that will not attract
preventable, unwanted encounters with wildlife. This practice
promotes leave-no-trace conservation when we make and break camp.
No principled outdoor individual or group wants to introduce
impact on the lands, trash the rivers, and form bad habits for
wildlife… especially when there is still something truly special
about pulling into a pristine Alaska camp spot where there is no
evidence or blemish of human influence.
THE ALASKA RAFT CONNECTION identifies with the considerable value
of your vacation time and guarantees YOU hassle-free contentment
in camp by outfitting every wilderness float trip with the very
best camping accommodations and camping equipment made.
WITH AN ETHICAL COMMITMENT TO THE ENVIRONMENT,
WE PRACTICE LEAVE-NO-TRACE CAMPING.
