Partner Spotlight: Tembo Tusk — Expedition-Ready Cooking for Packrafting Adventures

At Go North Rafts, we partner with brands that share our commitment to building gear capable of supporting true exploration. Tembo Tusk is one of those companies. Known for manufacturing rugged outdoor cooking systems, Tembo Tusk designs equipment for adventurers who operate far beyond traditional campgrounds. Their products are engineered with durability, portability, and reliability in mind—qualities that perfectly complement Go North Rafts’ mission of enabling self-supported access to remote lakes, rivers, and wilderness environments.

One of Tembo Tusk’s standout products is the TemboTusk Adjustable Leg Skottle Grill Kit, a full expedition-ready cooking system designed for rugged outdoor use. The kit includes an 18-inch pre-seasoned Skottle cooking surface, adjustable legs that collapse to just 20 inches for easy transport, and height adjustments up to 36 inches for stability on uneven terrain. It also features a powerful 10,000 BTU Kovea Scout burner with push-button ignition and precise flame control, allowing reliable cooking even in windy conditions. The entire system packs into a dedicated carry bag, creating a portable, all-in-one solution that’s easy to store, transport, and deploy in remote environments.

When paired with Go North packrafts, the Adjustable Leg Skottle becomes an essential expedition companion. Our packrafts allow adventurers to reach remote riverbanks, alpine shorelines, and wilderness campsites that are inaccessible by vehicle. Once you arrive, the Skottle provides a stable, full-featured cooking platform capable of preparing real meals in places where traditional camping equipment can’t reach. Its collapsible design makes it ideal for expedition travel, allowing paddlers to transport cooking capability deep into the backcountry without sacrificing reliability or performance.

This partnership represents a shared vision of complete self-supported exploration. Go North Rafts provide the mobility to reach untouched environments, while Tembo Tusk provides the tools to sustain long-duration adventures once you arrive. Together, our gear empowers explorers to travel farther, stay longer, and experience the outdoors with confidence—whether cooking fresh meals beside a remote alpine lake or refueling after a full day navigating wild rivers.
