The Ranger- One Person- Big Loads

From: $55.00

The Ranger is the ultimate cargo carrying one person raft!  Dogs, kids, bikes or big game animals this thing is made to haul!  It’s also a great option for taller paddlers that want to do more intense whitewater in a self bailer!  The larger hull gives it extra buoyancy when carrying heavy loads and the larger tubes allow for extra storage inside the tubes using the T-Zip internal storage.  The self bailing floor makes for easy exit/entry but the extra lift of the paddler seat means you won’t be sitting in water while you paddle.  If you’re looking with a little extra payload capacity than the Mule don’t want to bump into the 2-person packraft realm, this is a great option.

Please read and sign Zipper Maintenance Agreement prior to booking this raft.

A solo version of the Forager which fits right in between the Mule and Forager for size. An excellent option for carrying extra weight, paddling with a dog or kid, and hunting.  Despite its large size, the Ranger packs small and light enough to backpack over moderate distances.  It is very capable of up to Class III whitewater so its a great option if you want a bigger self bailer to do more intense rapids!

  • Self bailing floor with paddler seat standard

Zipper maintenance required for this raft!

While the internal storage/cargo fly is a game changer, lack of maintenance can cause major problems.  Rather than eliminate this option from all our products, we elected to create a very strict secondary rental agreement for rafts with internal storage/cargo fly.  There is a minimum $50 cleaning fee if the agreement is not followed.  Please review and e-sign the agreement prior to checking out.  Only one of these agreements needs to be signed per order regardless of the number of internal storage rafts rented under a single order (unlike the basic rental agreement/waiver that is required for each person using rental equipment rented from us).  We will follow-up with you if we are missing any needed waivers.

Shipping

Shipping is auto calculated at check out for the 1st raft, however, shipping for 2nd, 3rd and 4th identical rafts must be added on in the product add-ons section (if you are getting several different types of rafts shipping should auto-calculate at checkout accurately without add-ons).  Round trip shipping is $40/1 raft, $50/2 rafts, $60/ 3 rafts and $70/4 rafts for rafts shipped in Montana.  Rafts shipped outside of Montana start at $50/1 raft and go up from there depending on the shipping time and number of rafts.   Please contact us directly (phone or email) to book groups of 5 or more rafts.  If shipping is incorrect at checkout, your card will be refunded/charged accordingly.  Please see shipping rate chart in FAQ for more info.

Our booking system doesn’t work perfectly, so if the days you want are unavailable, it doesn’t hurt to call or email us to double check that it isn’t an error on our website!  406-272-6468 backcountrypackrafts@gmail.com
