Hike & float
Also: hike and float, hiking and paddling
Hike & float means hiking and paddling on one trip, with the packraft carried in your backpack between the water sections.
For hike & float every gram counts. That calls for light boats, light paddles and a well-thought-out packing system. It's important to plan water and land sections realistically: a lake is quickly crossed on the map, but wind and waves can force a detour.
Tip: pack everything that may get wet in the boat on the outside and everything sensitive in waterproof dry bags. Then switching between hiking and paddling is quick.
