Roman Dial's video from his trip with Mike Curiak, Doom "Steve" Fassbinder, Eric Parsons and Dylan Kentch bikepacking and packrafting down Alaska's lost coast from Yakutat to Glacier Bay in June 2011. It must be a really good trip because many of these guys have done it more then once.
This blog is still and maybee always will be in alpha. There is no strict editorial direction at this time, but it's likely to be rantings and ravings about technology, design, art, culture and especially all things new media.

Video, Lost Coast Fat Bike and Packraft
Thursday, July 7
Bikerafting Alaska's Lost Coast: Yakutat to Glacier Bay.
Mike Curiak's video shakedown of their trip.
"Late June, 2011, I went on a little trip with Eric Parsons, Dylan Kentch, Doom Fishfinder, and Roman Dial.
We beach biked out of Yakutat and bear trail bumbled along Alaska's outer coast, then trailless stumbling and ocean paddling brought us into Glacier Bay.
We carried all gear and food from the start, drinking from fresh and glacial streams, cooking in driftwood fires, sleeping just above high tide."
Yakutat to Gustavus Coast
Screw trying to summarize this up, just watch the video, preferably in full screen full 720p. One 20 second clip that will just blow your mind with its magnificence.

Eric has been blowing my mind with his adventures since I discovered the videos from his "lost coast" trip: http://lostcoastbike.blogspot.com/

"A solo journey across northern Alaska. Features grizzlies, caribou, moose, wolves, Dall sheep, as well as spectacular scenery."

Stumbled on this while doing some research on packrafting. What I loved most about this was the original route planning which combined hiking and rafting (though technically not packrafting) to follow the Brooks Range divide in Alaska. I haven't seen or heard of anyone else attempting this and Bruce did it solo.
