The 6 Best River Kayaks

And today we’re talking about some water transportation. I only thought it would be a great thing to have a canoe or a kayak, but the problem is they run pretty expensive and you actually do need some special type of transportation transportation. In order to carry them. You know at least a roof rack or something not anymore. However, because now you can get from Amazon for only $69 99, yes, less than $70 a k1 challenger, inflatable, kayak and I, know and know a lot of people will say wow inflatable that doesn’t sound, very reliable.

Well, this is what we’re gonna test today. This is a challenger k1 from the Amazon. The link is in the description below. If you want to check it out, it has a lot of great reviews that promise a lot of great stuff a lot of reliability. So this we’re gonna test. Let’s open it up, set it up and see how it does on the leg. All right, so, as you can see, does come with this convenient to carry bags now the weight is approximately 25 pounds. So if you are traveling by key with this kayak Mike, it’s a little bit too heavy pretty quickly.

Considering that you do have some other things on you, but, however, imagine carrying a 90 plastic kayak on your back now. It might not be heavier by a lot, but it’s definitely much less comfortable, all right, let’s get into it. So, as you can see in the packaging, we have the thin. We have a kayak nicely folded. I recommend remembering how it is folded, so that, if you hold it later, you know if you want to start it back in the back. We have the seat, which is we have the pump.

We have the pedal and we have a repair kit just in case if you do get a hole which does not sign some like a reassuring statement, but anyway, we’ll see how it works and, of course we have the bag as well, which already saw alright. Let’s try to set it up and see how long it takes all right. So surprisingly, considering the size, my expectations of how long this is gonna take or actually much meaning work than they actually are. It took me about two minutes to pump this whole thing out with the air, so pot works pretty good.

Now we have the seat and also this little green piece whatever it is, I’m not sure what it is yet I guess I’ll have to look in the manual after all, all right. Let’s finish this up all right and the only downside of the seat is that it actually has a different, a different. Whatever you call, it good think the pump Council is one actually with two with a smaller one and a little bigger one attachment back. However, you probably will end up needing to finish it out with your mouth I finally figured what this I this is so basically do need to inflate it, and then you stick it up all the way in front, so it kind of like a footrest and now with the fan you get that alright, so our cake is ready.

The paddles ready, let’s get on the water, alright, so carrying this thing, I know I, look kind of confident that everything’s gonna work out by carrying this thing I have to tell you feels really flimsy. Okay. Now, of course, ideally, you wouldn’t do that you would drive up to the water and then inflate it back. You know I had to for some reason. I have to do it in my garage good thing to Leykis just about two minutes from me. So we’ll go there and we will see now.

The wind does not make it easy anyway. So I don’t know if I mentioned it before. This review is actually for my ultimate survival gear section. So, basically, if anything bad happened like, for example, global pandemic, you never know you never know, and you never know you had to leave the house and then travel for extended periods of time, or maybe you had to stay in the house. Lock yourself up in the house and not leave what kind of gear would you keep with you, what you want to have in your house or what kind of gear what you want to take with you and I’ve been thinking about this for a long time and I think having a kayak or a canoe is really great, especially in the car for extended periods, and you don’t know what exactly lies ahead.

Does it ever know, whatever the situation might be, it’d be really nice to have water transportation, even something a little. What like a beginning of course, kayaks, first of all, they’re pretty expensive, no sure getting a regular plastic kayak or whatever the material is, and at the same time you do need to have a bigger car with a roof, rack and stuff like that. So it’s a little bit. It’s a little bit uncomfortable on something like this. Oh my god.

It’s just so amazing. You imagine just putting the small little package well right now. This thing is nine feet long and 2 feet wide, but whenever you deflate it not only is about two by two probably less, and then you can put it in your car in the trunk wherever and drive and then, if you ever need it, you have a kayak if you need to cross the river. If you need to leave your car whatever it doesn’t really matter, you have some water transportation. Now this thing is a one-seater.

They have two Cedars available and I am gonna. Add the links in the description below so you can check them out. This one can carry someone up to 200 pounds so not bad, not bad, hello, up to 200 pounds. I am hundred, and fifty hundred and sixty plus I have some stuff on me. My solar charger, my phone and all that sort of stuff she’s, probably not a lot and she should be close to there, but obviously the two-seaters. They have some kayaks that can’t carry a lot a lot more, which honestly is pretty impressive for an inflatable kayak but I’m, not gonna, say too much too early.

We will see. I am on the lake now we’re gonna get in the water. I’m gonna see how this thing works as surprising as it may be. This thing actually works and I ordered the life jacket. Just in case I didn’t come in the mail, yes alligators in this thing, but if there are answer there yeah so now that I’m thinking about it, that was a good idea to bring a knife. Now honestly, I would never get an inflatable pack for anything, but the reviews are actually really good.

I believe there are over 4000 reviews on Amazon. That’s pretty good! You want to complaints that are seen battles. People say that they’re just dirty and as you can hear people having fun me around the lake, we are still in the fun damage on the virus. More inflatable bags, there’s no alligators, now I’m getting closer to the middle of the lake feeling via Jindal. Oh that’s because I can’t swim, yeah I mean I, can’t swim, but yet honestly I do not have it’s working and I.

Think right now, it’s perfect time to charge up my phone time to test my solar charging. These guys are getting kind of dusty all right so now that I’m getting comfortable with the kayak pretty much in the middle of the lake now I have to say this is actually really really good. It’s you know way better than the regular plastic, kayak and I. Remember those things are pretty shaky. This one is very, very stable means just one thing: one recommendation: I, don’t wanna get you gay, but I just discovered.

Don’t try to move yourself by pressing on the sides to kind of get yourself up, because that actually bans the kayak in those parts and the water can get in which is dead and then get obviously heavier. That’s recommendation number one with the inflatable cam recommendation number two. He was their ambitious of me to think that my feet are not gonna get where well. I was proven wrong, so we’re something that can easily be drained all right. I think I, think I’ve been here for about hour hour and a half.

Now did the lake already three times back and forth. It’s a good workout, it’s late and still not even by alligators, all right. So recommendation number three one: two three you’re battling make sure you battle like I was saying here in South Florida. There is a very nice river, a really nice kayak round river. So if you’re here definitely check it out check it out the whole tell us a hygiene state bark, it’s amazing, you know, but anyway, let’s go sahaja river I think I’m ready for it all right.

So since kayaks don’t have hand brakes I’ll learn how to do a handbrake and we survive this all right, all right. So, on the way back, right, hang on I’m, gonna, cheat and we’ll see if I’ll be able to get to my house. That is right there without dropping this thing, but but at the end of the day, at the end of this video I wanted to say after about three hours, this Lake this thing did not. Let me down it’s pretty great for 70 bucks for less than 70 bucks, I think it’s an amazing investment and I think this will increase the chances of your a survival hundred percent at the same time increase the chances of you having a lot more fun on the weekends and during lockdown on the care team.

You never know hey guys. Thank you very much for watching this. Is fire hospital American see you guys in the next video you.

Hey, what’s up guys, it’s chad from better leaf reviews today we’re reviewing this Intex k2 two-person, inflatable kayak. Now this is more for the recreational type user, not someone who’s super serious, it’s an inflatable kayak, but from what I’ve read and heard it holds up pretty well, and it’s currently goes for only $79 99 on Amazon.

She could take links in the description below for that price. That includes the kayak two oars, a pump to inflate it and a repair kit. So it’s really a pretty good deal. It also has an inflatable beam on the bottom. That inflates to you know, provide better stability and support and it supports up to 400 pounds. So that’s gonna be good.

You know for most adults for two people now, if you have two very large guys tip like that, you may be exceeding that weight limit. But overall it’s gonna be great. For that and you know you can throw up in your you know in the back of your car, you can just put it in a closet somewhere. You can put it anywhere at home in your garage or shed and I have to worry about having this massive kayak taking up tons of space worried about you know, throwing on top of your car and strapping it down how you can get to location and all that it’s just gonna pack up in a really small space once you deflate it and bring it in any car would have you so it’s really convenient portable in that way.

So it’s a great solution and here, where I’m at they’re actually charging like $30 an hour for a canoe. So it’s a really good deal. If you’re gonna use it, you know twice two three times: you’re gonna pay for itself. You know just in that couple, a little bit of use, so it’s a really good option. So, let’s do a little time lapse. Unboxing you’re a rebel getting into trouble.

You’re gonna, like a fire like a fire like a fire, all right so original you will never break him down break it down, break it down so dangerous I get this I go all in that’s the way we keep our hime over. Like a hurricane, we can wash away for the skatepark, are just gonna push down these two tabs and then pull out like that and you’ll push it back in again it locks pretty securely in there.

Don’t wanna sleep tonight at all. Just wanna watch stand stars phone. Would you who don’t try to make up treatments just to be seen? I wanna lay beside you crying.

Paddle Tootsie’s manual to foot rest rock order gauge check what this thing is, but I will figure it out. Wow nice, oh yeah! If you want to sit higher, let me put the fishapod on it, so you can look at it now. I know why people complain about this Rock holder. Look at this cross each other like this. Alright I’m, going to do a little modification with the bra holder, be even a seat after I finished that um fishing rod holder right there modification then I will leave check it out.

Now. It’s hard, don’t know where. So now we’re gonna stop cutting this. Yes, we cut about the same length. I’m, not gonna, use this I’m gonna take it out, and this is the one I cut earlier. One go here: another one go over here: I’m, just gonna do three Rock holder, so I’m gonna use, but these four wait pipe sir, and that’s three right here so right after you put it together and it would work like this [Laughter], so I heat up this one 1/2 inch pipe through like that, you have to heat the price too thick this one inch pipe.

Okay, that’s what I hear! Let me put it down here! So let me let me explain a little bit about this one right here: I Chi it off that simmer bar and I heat one inch to fit this 3/4 pipe to go in here. So I did a lot of heating tube and this one it’s one half inch pipe that I heat up to to fit this. If you don’t hear it up, you know gotta, go it’s not gonna fit this one inch pipe here and this also one inch pipe.

So that’s pretty much the front rot holder and that’s my complete raw holder in the back I paint. The ball here, server just to match the kayak, because the kaya has some stubborn parts. Let’s put it on the kayak, so you guys can see how you notes all right. So this is what it loves after and modify this Intex X Corrine Pro.

So this Intex excursion pro this is the front fishing rod. Holder I also got this wrong from Poway story and she’s. Just a sprinkler, 360 degree I got this from a sporting good I kept the seat in here out or underneath make sure you send it everything other little day poking make sure you get them all out before you use it.

Roll tape I just put around it just in case it was the flop, mat and then I just measuring this thing and I cut out, and then, if you want to hire that you have to, then you have to double stack innate this one. But what I did I put the shoot glue inside here and it stay pretty good, so it won’t come off now. So this is the seat that I gotta put in the Chi.

Actually I can’t look at it. I took the inflatable seat out and I put this one: oh yeah, very, very comfortable better than the better than the original seat, and then go that can actually trolling with this setup. Just pull right there in the paddle man me man right there right then this is my camera. I was telling that about it say when I catch, a fish, I’m ready, look at the fish and then I put the camera to this way me and then show the fish and then I could even do like this yeah go down like this release the fish and then pull like that.

Go back to the back like that fishing, oh yeah! There you go! So that’s my setup on this kayak here so hope you got like it. You can come out your own setup like this. This work being a great pose for me. Fishing like when I go like a short trip. Oh Oh.

These items did not come in the bag, so I just want to show you that with proper folding and packing, you can get everything back in the included. Bag does come with two paddles everything you needed to get started. We’re gonna kind of do this in mostly real time. So you have an idea of what this is going to look like to fill up I, really like the inflation valves here, they’re spring-loaded! So basically, once you pull out the air hose from it, you don’t lose air, they can lock and unlock so deflating and inflating is a cinch also comes with a pump, really easy and a PSI gauge, which shows you how much air you have in there? So you don’t over inflate it, you can even tap on the top to release air I love this thing and the air hose it kind of just twists in super simple you just twist it in and it snaps in, and you start pumping this whole thing really takes about less than 10 minutes to set up.

You could probably do it in about five minutes now. I wanted to do this shot here. In real time, so you can see how long it takes to pump up one side. There is three chambers to this, so if one goes down, you’re gonna have something to hang on to. You definitely won’t be stranded out in the middle of nowhere. Now it also has three layer PVC constructions, so this isn’t plastic like the two-man Tahiti that you’ve seen or the Intex Explorer, k2 or k1. This feels like something you would feel the lifeguards using it’s just very rugged and tough material.

It also has a layer of woven so on the bottom. There’s actually three layers, one layer of PVC, a layer of woven for extra protection and then another layer of PVC stress enough. How tough this stuff feels we’re gonna put this one in just a little bit of fast-forward. That was the bottom piece that only took about maybe two minutes to fill up the bottom. Then you just take your little adapter. You check the gauge, make sure everything’s good, add an extra err if needed, and this is what it looks like before you put anything in it.

So you could even use this. If you wanted to, you know, sit on your knees, you don’t even have to really use the seats you could use it. Just like a canoe has a nice handle on both ends the stern and bow, so you can go ahead and carry that easily with two people, and the latches on here are really really really on there, and just everything feels so so well built I’m, really impressed for 207 buck, really really impressed I could have easily seen this priced at 300 dollars and I would have been happy at that price point as well up to two people 400 pounds.

Now these are the seats. My only really huge complaint about this was the seats and it’s not uncomfortable. Do in and we’ll show you how to use those in a minute complaint would be with the air valve when you stuff the hose into the little nodule. It doesn’t go in there that great so oftentimes. What may help you fill this up? Better is, if you just kind of hold it with one hand, while you’re pumping with the other hand, otherwise it kind of ends up working its way out. It’s not a big big deal goes up real quick everything definitely tells you’d, never flate to maximum, so I was inflated about 90%, then I give it give it a rest.

Now, in case this isn’t tall enough, I did not show the included booster seat, there’s a booster that will raise you up about another three or four inches. So if you want to sit even higher than this, you can now. There is only one booster seat included so for small people or if you have some kids and they want to set up a little bit higher, it would be a great choice and then it just snaps in really easy and provides you a pretty great layer of support, there’s also included footrests that can go in one of three different places for different sized legs.

This goes in just like so, and it actually feels really good. This bar included here is for GPS. You can connect your phone to it, fishing pole, holder, a fish finder, and it’s pretty sturdy too. Once it gets in there, it’s a little tiny, tiny bit loose, but not to the point where it wouldn’t bother. You anything it just. It feels good and I wouldn’t worry about having any devices on that whatsoever. Then we have the paddles these if you were to buy them separately from what I can tell these are about the same as a $30 set of paddles I’d wanted to get some better paddles, but I’d kind of learned right away that you can’t really do too much better.

You can do a tiny, tiny, tiny bit better, so I’m just gonna use these until one wears out. They do have a left and right side which is labeled down there. Where you see my finger here pointing out in just a second. So if you put it together, make sure you do have the left and right side set up and also at the right angle. I also wanted to show what it looks like when I get in and dry land just so you can kind of have an idea of what a person that is, 5, 9 and 850 pounds looks like sitting in it really comfortable, really stable again.

I can’t stress enough. The quality of this just feel so good, I’m gonna show you me getting in it one more time from the back, so you can see what it looks like you can see things getting kind of pushed on and stressed out and yes, you can’t actually lean back a little bit. It’s very comfortable and those those welded rings are on there. So good I’m, not worrying about that whatsoever. Talk about the life jacket I got at the end, just a $25 one from Sawyer now I had somebody recording this that wasn’t very familiar with recording, not a big recorder.

So please excuse me for not getting a lot of shots. I did take this out with my dad today in a two-man mode and a single man mode, two-man mode, I, absolutely love. It I’ve been in three hardshell kayaks. One of the best moments of my life was going around in a kayak looking at seals and on people’s docks. It was just totally awesome and after that, I wanted to get into it, but couldn’t get something on the top of my car, so these inflatables are really gonna, be perfect for me, due to the transportation now we’re gonna be using this in some epic multi-day trips.

So if you guys want to see some two-week backpacking trips coming up off of this and some great fishing trips, please subscribe. There’s going to be some amazing adventures. Also I found it to be even more stable than the hardshell kayaks and from what I can tell it would be way easier to flip this I think if it was to flip, if you needed to get better get it back over. Think you’re gonna have an easier time with this I’m, not 100%. Sure, though, now they’re all are also fishing pole holders that are on the back.

They do cross each other and people have kind of commented. They don’t understand why the fishing pole holders are crossing each other, but that’s for trolling I believe so. This is what it looked like when me and my dad were out. We just went out and had some some little tiny little tiny bit of chop on the water very comfortable, very stable, really liked it want to give you just another shot here, pretty much mostly in real time of me, taking it down, because I want to show you how easy it is.

It really takes less than 10 minutes to set up, and it really does take less than 10 minutes to fold up the other thing that I want to show. You is kind of the proper way to fold this. You definitely want to fold it in half and don’t start on the this end see the end that I’m on right now. That’s where all the air inflation valves are all three of them are over there and it was a good idea. They put it there if I start folding it up now. I can’t push out the air as well. So you don’t want to fold it on the end.

It has the air valves on, as you can see my dad right now saying hey. It might be a smarter idea to get in the back and do that, so the air comes out, and it was totally true so make sure when you do fold it up you fold it in half, give it about two feet: a two foot fold and then just keep folding it over and over and over that way. The air valves on the end can just release, make sure. Also you dry it out when you get home, you don’t want these molding. If you can’t air dry, it just take a towel and get the water out.

When a comment again is it is 100% possible to put this in the bag with everything in that being said, I get very lazy and we twice now it has not actually made it in the bag. Perfectly I have no idea, I think it’s, because there is just a little bit less a little bit more air in there than it was when I first got it out of the box you, but unlike any bag, you’re gonna kind of have to find your own rhythm to get it back in there now, just one more time, I want to show you the kayak in two-person mode, because you did not get to see it in two person mode.

Here you see the fishing pole holders by the after it’s those two little black things sitting on the left and right it looked like they would hold fishing poles. Will they cross each other again. People have said in some of the reviews that they didn’t like that, but I don’t think that they’ve realized that that is for trolling, so you would put two poles behind you and then you would troll along in the boat I believe some expert fishermen that are better than me would have to correct me on that.

But I think that’s why they’re crossed like that at the end of the video I’ll show you a picture to further elaborate on this, because it is sold also as a fishing boat as well. So I think that’s going to be very important for some people not a deal breaker, though whatsoever, I love. This thing, I can’t recommend it enough. I can’t wait to go on some epic multi-day backpacking trips and get out and start actually getting some fish on this puppy instead of fishing from the shore and one more time the Stearns life jacket, adult I believe this is a one size fits all all the links to these are going to be in the description below 25 bucks.

I can’t complain whatsoever. Now here’s the picture I wanted to talk about. So you could see a few different things here. You can see how he’s got the pole attached on the front different attachments and you can see the crossed fishing poles at the back and once I saw this, for this is their picture so once I saw this I kind of understood, maybe that’s why it’s set up that way. Now again, some of the people on Amazon are saying that that’s wrong and it shouldn’t be that way, but maybe it is set up for trolling again I, don’t know, maybe have a better more experienced.

Fishermen can, let me know, but other than that highly recommended I hope you guys enjoyed this video and again, please sub, like and I’ll leave a comment if you enjoyed this and I look forward to some amazing trips in the future. I highly hope you guys come back to join me for some of those. Ah thanks again for watching.

Enjoyed the video today we got some fish, some of them it was pretty cool catches. It was our first time in the kayak I hope you enjoyed the video hey guys. How are you welcome to London County fishing I’m, trying to add some audio besides the regular audio of the video to see if it will be more understandable? Let me know by the comments in this part of the video.

We are trying to figure out how much we have to inflate the kayak, but we’ve fallen out that we need a system. Are you yeah? It’s tough. It is a key inflating. The chairs was pretty simple, just gotta, make sure to put them on the velcro and I just incorrect ly just and for that placed on the Cape on yucca I, see estefania. Who study? Stop? No! No! Your idea, you were you, see we’re gonna vs emo, my facet before we throw the kayak for Hamlet unregulated, show people person, no puede dos por ESO de uno simplemente que estas en la this part is funny because I was just pulling in my rods because I had them as a bottom fishing.

Oh nice, but they eat it all I think, but no still nice all right. No, no si tengo pero! No se me de muchacha que si lo nice warm alright guys. Here we go go ahead. Really nice tongue; okay, oh no! You little buddy! Oh my god, Oh a being way wrong! Good avian welcome. Bro knows no! The no compromise or is Batali’s ya know real easy video, Oh looky there you still there.

Oh wow Wow. Let me see I’ll, take it out. Yes, yes in time, yeah yeah, I, think so yeah, oh wow here here it is Wow beautiful, beautiful fish. Well, oh my God he’s gonna swim in the water No. Oh my god he’s coming alright, releasing Wow such a feeling. They Wow, okay. Okay, let’s release him now. My guy Oh, oh yeah, that one that one that one is the one that one needs the one speaks or else I, don’t know.

Oh alright, nice look at it guys! Wow! This guy is sassy. Alright! Go me! Oh well! You guys got a show right. All right! Let me see see ya suppose awaits over years of it. Hey watch it Ellis’s team, Anthony and Ozzy. It is important to mention that it took around 30 minutes to inflate the kayak and casting in the kayak with my brother was very comfortable too also um, the kiya by itself.

It’s not heavy, however, if you inflate it in a place that is very far from your fishing spot, I would say just wait or bring the kayak till the shore part of your fishing spot, because Kara need by yourself might be a little uncomfortable. There are other tools that you can use to transport. The kayak I bought one but I. Don’t know if he’s gonna be that efficient.

So now we within close- because we didn’t know so we got wet. What are you leaving impressions of the kayak by itself? I would ever buy one for myself. I think that there is a really good condition. We don’t know how long it lasts like how long you can use it without getting any issues, but I like experience. I like I, felt safe all the time and yeah and I mean the company is not paying us to review this.

So this is a legit review yeah, it was fine and we got a lot of fish yeah. We got many of them. You already saw it. Probably black crappie I also got some blue gills bottom fishing with warms, but I hope you guys go through things like the video subscribe to the channel and also you can just comment anything because that makes me feel good, because I I know that you guys are watching so see you soon, but don’t forget to comment.

Okay, see you thank you for watching.

Popsicles, please, you got to have popsicles because we’re adults and we’re now boat owners. What happened? What slid pineapple juice? Oh, so there’s pineapple juice in the fridge. Now it smells delicious yeah. We should cut probably a little sticky, okay, so the thing so the thing is we wanted a kayak. Well, we don’t have anywhere to put it and we wanted to be able to play in the lake and you know because we like to be by water. We wanted a kayak, but I don’t want to like do a roof rack and all that kind of stuff.

So we have the Intex k2, we’ll put a link to it in the description. I’m gonna switch you over to time-lapse and we’re gonna figure. This thing out, we have assembled ourselves our very own boat. This thing is killer. Two two paddles we got footrest down there adjustable. We got a bar that mounts across here for various things. Whatever you want, inflatable seats comes with a little pressure gauge that allows you to make sure everything’s at the right pressure. This thing is cool. We’re gonna, go, try it we’ll! Let you know this.

Doesn’t suck so we just got back from the maiden voyage of the SS tubular and dude 250 bucks. This thing is killer. I’ve used a lot of hard canoes, a lot of hard kayaks and okay. So yeah you give up a little in the performance Department, but it’s super stable. It’s super sturdy. It’s really built well for the money, and the thing is: is that we’re gonna figure out a way this compartment right here? We’re gonna be able to fit it in there, and so we can actually have a boat where otherwise, you know, if you have a hard kayak, then you got to do this whole thing where you know: I, put rack on the Jeep and etc, etc, etc, and more weight and more money and etc.

So, anyway, I just think it’s it’s amazing. So we’re gonna grab a couple cameras and go check out the sunset, because it’s getting close so features specifically it’s made for two people and I’m, showing it to you no seats in it because I want to show you that there’s actually three places to put seats. So this is the stern the back end of it, and so once he can go here and then one seat can go here, but if you go all the way back put the seat here, then that I’ll end up making you have a person in the middle.

If you go forward, then you can have a person in the front and a person in the back, meaning that you could run this with one person or two it’s pretty killer and then the foot blocks there is a set of foot blocks here. There’s a set of foot blocks here, so you can put them in this position with the first seat all the way back, and then that would give you a center position for using with one person or you can put the senate the foot block all the way up, move the center seat all the way up, and then you have your front person, and then you have another set of foot blocks.

That goes here with the rear seat. That goes here. There’s places to lash things to which is pretty killer. There are fishing pole mounts and it comes with a couple of adapters to make your you pull them out a little bit smaller. There are more lashing points on the front as well as storage up underneath here, so you could put gear and whatever else you want, this thing is super super killer and I love. How well built it is now I see these little things right here. I’ll show you what that’s for okay, so this is with the center seat installed, and then this is an accessory bar.

So you could put fishing pole mounts on it. It’s pretty sturdy. – fishing pole mounts on it. Camera mounts cup holders, whatever you wanted and it’s just fit in there with friction. So you just take it out like so super killer, I dig, that’s I dig that set up. There is three inflatable ladders in this thing, so you’re gonna have your floor. Bladder you inflate. First then, you’re gonna have the one side that inflates and then you’re gonna have the second side that inflates it takes about from the time you open the package to the time you can put it in the water.

I would say the first time it’ll. Take you about 20 minutes. I would say after that, it’ll probably take you about 10. Once you figure out where everything goes, the paddles are relatively okay: they’re cheap, like ready to run paddles. You know they do have some selectable angle, they’re a little flimsy I’m sure, there’s definitely better better paddles out there, but they do work well. So for this set up man for 250 bucks or whatever it is on Amazon, the biggest thing is how it fits in the motorhome.

That’s the most important thing for us and I’ll show you okay, so the whole goal of this inflatable kayak situation was so that we could actually haul it in our motorhome. Oh and, as you will see right here, it all fits perfectly in this back. So this bag is about I, don’t know three feet wide by about a foot deep. By about two feet high and it fits everything but the paddles, so the seats all the little pieces, all that stuff all fits in the bag with the kayak all rolled up, and it is amazing one of my pet peeves.

If you follow our videos, is that I like everything to fit in the bag that it came in and if it doesn’t, that’s super annoying to me. So it was not difficult. It actually all went right in there we’ll see how long the bag lasts, but I think if you take care of it and you’re not super hard on the zipper and path you know pack it in there correctly, I think it’ll last night, awesome, 250 bucks or whatever it costs on Amazon is worth it to be able to enjoy kayaking and enjoy the water.

I mean that’s what we that’s. What we’re here for right, so breaking right now, perfect time now to just like go all over the country and catch sunsets everywhere. We have really been digging this thing over the last few days. We’re gonna go try to catch a sunset, I, don’t know if we’re gonna get much of one, because it’s been cloudy and it’s really windy so we’ll see what we do. So our goal for the last few days has been to kayak over to the other side. All right made it back grab the other camera come down here and see what we can see without moving this big.

That moon is big. How about that huh all right, so you can get a good picture of it and any fireflies, okay, okay, so we’re trying to do is capture some fireflies. Hopefully this will work. I’m, sorry, lightning, bugs since I’m in the South she’s reading catch some fireflies on video I see him not in the shot I mean not when I’m looking in the woods, but I can’t I, don’t know if the camera is actually picking them up. Oh there’s one! It’s got to be darker. Well, we are no longer in Georgia.

We just pulled in to pry it outside of Chattanooga, Tennessee and I’m. Gonna do some work stuff here this week, so we don’t have a lake. Now we can’t use our kayak, you know it’s, but we have a lot of really cool stuff going this week and I. Think next week’s video is gonna have some pretty cool stuff in it, so make sure you hit the subscribe button a little belt next to it, and also make sure you check out music get mascara, calm, Leslie wrote another blog and she’s gonna try to write on a blog every week.

We’re gonna try to make a video every week and see what happens thanks for hanging out and we’ll see you next time.

All right, we’ll just chill out here, I’m gonna, cast overtop order that way and I’m gonna cast out a barber this way and we’ll see what we can get massive bass. So I’m gonna see if he’s gonna want to want the top water, hey Shawn, no way. Oh, it’s a little guy, oh no way. Oh first cos I call that out: oh hey little guy, it’s gonna reduce the slack here.

It’s my first time. Taking a fish off in this. This boat so definitely want to be careful. Yeah, dude, Oh, beautiful ha, walking beautiful, not in season, but it’s a nice healthy fish all right, the barbers don’t know with half a worm on it and I’m going to start casting with the top water around the same direction. Just so I can keep an eye on it.

Being simple, Oh out see the bobber, but it’s like probably six feet back. It’s pretty close I’m starting to cast that direction, see if I can entice him a little bit. I, don’t know what it is he’s fit whatever it is. It’s going after the the bugs on top of the water. It looks pretty big, my god Bobby’s gone Bobby’s on oh yeah. What is that I? Don’t even think he knows.

I have no you dude Oh little bass off the little worm. – there’s no way! This is the guy that was causing the blowouts earlier, he’s feisty all right, so we’re going down in size and definite not going up in size here, but it’s a really healthy. Looking fish go second fish the year, give it a kiss in the same spot, see if we can’t get smashing.

Oh there, it goes. There’s someone this one feels a bit bigger than the last one that I got well tiny things still don’t oh I might be completely wrong. Looks ought to perch. Well I can the size of that perch? Oh, my god, I! Think it’s pretty big dude! That’s a big, yellow! Perch! All these things prick me every time. Look at the size of that little perch dude! That’s what was hitting it before! Oh that’s a keeper, though! Oh you just on me right.

That’s a nice-looking, perch deed, Oh, beautiful third fish. The year I didn’t bring anything to bring fish home with me, so I’m gonna, let this bad. This bugger go I have a chain, but I don’t have a bucket. So nice little perch, though see I love that variety I love it I’ll just keep casting out until this. This worms gone here and then I’ll sail back seems to be a nice little weed bed.

There might come back tomorrow to with some worms and the top water again same lake, since it is Friday today and I’ll- probably just come back to this spot to be perfectly honest and just bring home some perch and show you guys how to cook them there the way I cook them anyways perch is like it’s probably one of the best fish to its it’s up there with walleye for sure it’s definitely more of a catch-and-release day.

For me, unfortunately, I would love to keep that purge. She was beautiful. It was really nice, it was sign of lesions or anything on it looks super healthy. There we go there, you go. It definitely answers the question as to whether or not we have perch in Lake meat I asked another fisherman that was on here with the canoe with an electric motor and I asked if there was I’m just getting rid of the slack that I wasn’t in it.

But I asked if there was any perch in here, and he said it wasn’t sure so. I just got my confirmation. There that’s the kind of pan fish I’m looking for it’s the reason why I actually got my new rod and just put six pound test on it. Get used to this one-handed battling I’m just trying to stay with the anchor here, but that’s why I actually got the the new ugly stick with the Pflueger reel on it just to put some light Lateline on it.

Catch some hand, fish, it’s not meant for for the big ones, but funny enough. It’s the one I caught the biggest one today. So as far as perch go, that was pretty big. It’s a pretty big, yellow perch, this one, it’s a little guy again, another perch might be schooler. Oh yeah keep getting bigger dude! Oh, my God look at the size of that perch bro, oh my god, there’s so lucky.

Am I keeping any fish today dude? That was massive all right. It’s looking good on wind. We just made it around the bend. I’m gonna go over here where it opens up and where the winds gonna push us, hopefully where we need to go. I, don’t have to angle the sail. So we get around this island and angle towards the right side. I might go left and then just kind of steer it right.

Just so we get more wind, but yeah I’m excited to see how this thing will do see you guys, then all right we got the sails set up. I got this clear piece here that you can see through. So you know where you’re going, you can kind of trim it by moving. This strap over I just had to hooked up to my lifejacket, and you can kind of just lean back and let the wind take you where you need to go right now.

It’s not super overtly windy, but I will be posting a video of when I first arrived here and I tested it going down the opposite part of the lake and we’re moving it felt like we were in an election. We had an electric motor on the kayak, so that was a nice gust right. There we’re starting to move a little bit, but not nearly as fast as I need to be.

As you can see, we got a little gust of wind that we’re we’re moving. It’s not nearly as fast as before, as I said, but I wanted to give you guys an idea if it’s just a little gust I wish I could show you I mean that’s all we’re getting whatever is blowing this around is all we’re getting and we’re so moving. You know, I mean like this is like I would say it’s even a paddle, but we’re still so extremely light.

Paddle like after you’re done paddling, and you just kind of go by that’s more or less what we’re doing right now, but you can kind of just sit back and relax. Oh, you can trim it anyway. I. Just got to slide this down so if they need to go left, for example, the winds all really blowing, but you can see that we’re slowly. Turning, even with the light gust that we’re having right now, we’re still moving where I want to go, I mean I can turn it back to the right.

It is lightweight and easy to transport comes as a complete package: high durability due to high strength, vinyl material and laminated core stable, even at 400 pounds weight. What I don’t like low quality oars, not great for choppy waters, poor pump can get punctures. Paddles are a little short. What comes with it? Intex professional series excursion pro kayak: two oars repair kit, carry bag adjustable, mounting bracket pump owner’s manual.

Finally, this inflatable kayak has everything you need. It’s affordable price, adjustable seats and footrests that enhance comfort and sturdy construction makes it number one.

All right, let’s take it out on the water and then see how it feels this should be about, like 40, pound I, think I said: wear boots rubber boots. Okay, now that we’re set up again we’re gonna, take him out on the water, all right, you just put it in there yep and then you want to want to get in mm-hmm and then I’m gonna just hit my rod here. For now. Oh I forgot something to like best. Yeah depends on the local law for Pennsylvania. You got to have like best.

I brought it while we’re moving actually very fast. We’re just cruising around see how it feels. What do you think so far and I think the skin on the bottom really helps because we’re, even though there’s a wind here, we’re not like moving like left or right, honey I, think your your oars you’re doing it backward I didn’t know what to expect to be honest, I’m paddling, very lightly, Wow, not bad, it’s not a windy day or a choppy water. You know we didn’t want to take it out when it’s choppy, because water, the first time yeah super easy yeah.

It doesn’t even feel like we’re on we’re on a inflatable, kayak yeah. One thing, though, is you: do get some water here on your inside of your boat, because that just happens, I guess but good things, the seat is elevated. A little bit, I think that helps a little bit Bionic glides through very quickly. My wife is only one paddling right now and it’s gone and a pretty good pace. Yeah, nice, nice yeah! This is awesome, okay, so the build quality and the speed I’m very happy with it.

What do you think yeah? You do get some water on the sides and from the parently, but you know overall, it’s like really great. It’s very light and portable like for us like we live in an apartment, so we couldn’t own a big kayak, so we were looking for something compact, but like it’s going to last for a long time. This thing this thing is I. Could tank? Really nice solid, made out of nice. I think is that three layers of PVC feels great and plenty of room.

You know I’m six, five sitting on the back and my wife is still in the front and we have plenty of rooms. I’ve been on a regular clap many times like I, really don’t see, I feel today too much difference. Okay, I’m, just gonna do a quick test on how well it maneuvers and moves I’m, not gonna. Go for change its direction. Quick, very well, yeah, apparently pretty hard. You can see plug it both really fast. If you were traded out of ten. What would you read it? I would I will probably give like somewhere in between eight or nine I.

Think you know. One of the thing that could get better is the route holder. The kayak itself is very, very stable. We you know lean both of us lean, left and right. I, like I, mean it’s pre-pre impossible for you to like, like try to fall out of the kayak unless you really like trihard, so yeah I’ll probably give it a like eight point: five thanks yeah. So if you guys haven’t checked out our other video, please check out, we did an unboxing of what kind of things are in here and things yeah, so I think for a budget.

A kayak on under around $200 I think this is probably the best Kyah inflatable available. It’s very portable. It fits two people, people nicely and move very fast, as you know very light, so I think you know if you’re looking for a car, if you live in an apartment and small places where you can’t, you know, have big kayak or you can’t put kayak on top of your car. You know this is probably the best way to do it and we fish today it was fun yeah.

So, if you’re ever interested, you know please check out the description below we have the link below and also the other another video of this kayak. The part one see you next time you.
