Sheri Tingey and her son Thor built the first Alpacka Raft by hand in their Chugiak, Alaska
basement in October of 2000. Their goal was to create a lightweight backpackable raft that
could withstand the rigors of the Alaskan wilderness, like the 600‐mile traverse of the
Brooks Range that Thor and four friends had completed that summer. From that very first
raft, Alpacka Raft has been the industry standard for design and innovation, materials,
quality, and Made in USA manufacturing. From everyone at our factory in Mancos,
Colorado, thank you for choosing Alpacka Raft!
