Packrafting the Ozarks

A Personal Blog.

Since my retirement from the Army, packrafting has been something I have discovered a passion for. I enjoy the opportunities for solitude it brings, being able to hike into remote stretches of waters. I enjoy learning new skills and how I can improve myself physically and mentally thru the preparation and mindfulness that packrafting demands. Lastly, I love that it has brought endless memories of trips with my best of friends and my family.

In this personal website, I hope to share a few of those memories and provide some information to help you get out there as well.

It all begins with a plan.

Pouring over

maps; finding

routes and new

ways to see the

Ozarks by land

and water.

  • Following contour lines and gradients

with friends and family along the way.
