Вставка

- Is this better than an inflatable kayak? Is it easy to assemble? How does it handle?
Did it pass the ocean test?

I have a friend who would love this! Sending this to her! Thank you for always giving great information! Gods Bless! 🙏🤗🙏
Hi Brooke...another great product that you bring to all of us!....You always have things that we all appreciate!... Tks for sharing....God Bless!
Thanks!
That's an amazing kit, tribute to the engineers.
i knowwww saw it on shark tank years ago
Very user friendly! Looks like I could get it out on Chilliwack Lake to check out petroglyphs? Love it!
Wow! Awesome super cool.....tenacious girl!....she's outta here!
I bought the Oru Inlet model ago and have no complaints. I can hike to small lakes in the Sierra Nevada Mountains with my kayak. Such bliss.
Cool!
Kudos to the designers! Must say, seeing that gorgeous water and Hearing it as you paddled along, my stress level just dropped way low. : ) Thanks!
Yep..you’re amazing and fun and appreciated
thank you
I was in the national camping group and many of the members used kayaks. I had a fishing kayak but could hold my poles, etc. One woman showed up one time with one of these kayaks that you carry in a bag and put together. She loved it. The kayak you’re using now sounds a lot better. I bet it’s a lot newer than that old one I saw.
Wow, can't wait! That water is beautiful. When I tell people that the water is green in places...they don't believe me. 🤣
Brooke, I'm old enough to be your momma but I want to be Just Like You when I grow up! What a life you lead! 🙂
lol thanks
Wowowow brook I have never done kayaking ever in my life but you inspire me a lot and I wud love to try it at least once ,,,awesome 👍👍👍👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks Brooke for sharing this 👍. Remembering the canoe transport through the woods in a previous video, this is outstanding with that backpack. Great demonstration ❤️👍
Oops forgot I was using my husband's phone 😊still great job , Jacquie.
I bought an ORU Inlet 2 years ago and love it. My primary reason for buying it was I could easily take it camping with me and use on the small lakes and calm rivers I camp by. At just over 20 pounds it’s super easy to pack into a lake or pond. Glad you found ORU!!
Totally
So I've been interested in Oru for a while and decided to look for videos on the Coast model today. Was tickled to find Brooke, one of my favorite Alone contestants, demonstrating this boat. Thanks and good job!
Glad I could help!
Wow, you make everything look easy, Brooke! That’s amazing! Thanks for sharing!
Loving the more frequent videos, Brooke! I miss your camping adventures but it looks like you’re having a wonderful time in Alaska
I'd like to thank the Inuit for designing such a versatile boat, and also, Oru for making this iteration of the design.
I love Alaska, the beautiful mountains and land is so pure and clean. My brother was stationed at Ft Wainwright, in Fairbanks.
I spent a month up there, when is t was 24 hours of daylight. That was very difficult, my brother bought me some darking shades. I have to say it was probably one of the best vacations I have ever gone on. ❤️
Just yesterday picked up a used BayST from Oru. Can't WAIT to get it out on the water! Thanks for your review of the Coast!
awesome!
That kayak was a work of art. It was almost translucent when you had it in the water , beautiful. Sure it had a few issues like the seat being uncomfortable but those little bugs will get worked out as the manufacturer makes improvements. I like it and give it a 9 out of 10. Stay cool Brooke and stay happy.
Oh, I've been wondering about this kayak for a while! I'm very happy that you have reviewed it :D
Amazing! What an invention in the middle.of such a beautiful landscape.
Sooo fab Brooke! That easy set up is top tier.
Only thing missing is 'the' Mr. Moose strapped on to
you in a baby backpack system, hehe.
I love kayaking, but to kayak in Alaska awesome! The Oru kayak is nice. Glad you featured it.
Pretty spiffy there "Girl". Thanks for sharing your experience and ideas👍🏻...
God Bless🙏🏻🦋🌻
I seen ones similar to yours at a local lake yesterday. I'm not sure if they're ocean friendly or not, but they worked perfectly and have a super easy set up an down. All the components roll up in it with clips to keep the roll together and a shoulder strap. When rolled up it's the size of a large duffel bag
Definitely not ocean friendly.
What a beautiful video. I wish I could kayak in Alaska; it looks amazing. I have the Oru Beach. I take it out in the marina and love it. Have had mine for a year and a half. I bought the backpack, too, but rarely use it. I found it hard to get my kayak inside of it. I'll try again. You make it look so easy.
this is so cool very interesting how it just folds up love it cuts through the water smoothly as well thanks for showing us this Brook.
Thanks for watching!
Awesome job getting it together & taking down! Beautiful scenery! Love your videos! Stay blessed! 😎❣️✌🏻🖖🏻
Thanks 👍
I love going on these incredible Adventures with you!😍Thank-you for showing us how this amazing fold-up Kayak works, how neat & efficient. We may consider getting one ourselves so that my boyfriend & I can go Kayaking together to fish and enjoy nature’s beauty. I love your Videos Brooke, they Always Make my Day!🥰 Seeing that Heavenly Scenery; The beautiful Mountains, looking at that beautiful Crystal Clear-water with Salmon swimming underwater, hearing those beautiful birds-It’s like a whole new World/Planet to me as I’ve never been to Alaska before; It’s absolutely ethereal & very healing. Also, your energy, spirit, knowledge and love for the Outdoors is incredibly inspiring. I’m Glad to see New Videos, Keep it up!👍You really do inspire so many people like myself.☺️
God Bless and Greetings from Minnesota!💙🙏💙
Fantastic video Brook!! Love Alaska the water is beautiful!! Your awesome as usual!!😎🌳🌞🌊
That is remarkable for sure. Who would ever think that was possible. Love all you share.
Hi Brooke, this Kayak is very cool and a nice looking one at that. I may look into buying one instead of a hardshell kayak. Thanks for the demostration
What a gorgeous body of water. Thats a super cool kayak. I love the weight feature. Mine is 12 ft long and not super heavy but it winds me getting it in and out of the water. Thanks for showing this
Thanks for the review, Brooke. I've wondered about these. I value your opinion. Looks like it's going on the wish list.
Oh yeah , ,Don't forget to get outside and get Happy .. , lol , we about to get a few kayaks , stay safe Brooke
Hey Brooke thank you for the short video now that's something with the kayak that you put together it's amazing what they are making today and days not everything is nice and good but some things like that it's amazing I like that
I always love your demonstrations of products that you use, Brooke. Your videos are so uplifting. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much!
What a cool gadget, Brooke! Folding it make it very easy to transport in any vehicle and safe the expense of a roof carrier. 🙂
Now that was perfect! A quick review of an innovative product! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the demo! I just purchased my first kayak. I've always wondered how a folding kayak would be put together. Way back (1995) I was in Yellowknife waiting for the bus back down to Edmonton when I met a Japanese sports writer also waiting for the bus and he had a folding kayak and was planning on paddling up the MacKenzie River. I could not picture a "folding kayak". I often wondered how he made out on such a long ambitious journey.
the old klepper and folbot folding kayaks are still around and i occasionally see them- used to have one! my first kayak!
You have the collect trips I've ever seen. You go girl.
Really interesting, great vid Brooke! Gorgeous water!
Thanks so much!
Wow great idea, and what a beautiful calm view. Please, stay safe 🙏 🤗
The scenery is spectacular. Thank you.
Kayak is awesome Brooke, really enjoyed the video. I too, remember the video of the canoe you dragged, pulled and rolled on wheels through the wooded path to the lake. This kayak looks amazing!! 🛶🏔 👍❤🌲🇨🇦
This video makes me want to kayak! Never have yet! Maybe...❤❤❤
Way Kool Brooke! Packing into a deep forest lake with a canoe just found an answer. My only question is the gauge of plastic. You never know when a rock too close to the surface could ruin your day.
Hey Brooke! I love watching all of your videos over and over again and find some that I've never seen. Keep them coming! 💙💜🤎❤❤🩹
That's an amazing piece of equipment! Your new shirts and hoody design are awesome!
thanks much!
Man I bet ole Tom Sawyer and Huck Finn would've love that! Very cool!
My brother and his wife have those kayaks and I have been in them as well and we do love them however when getting into the kayak from a rocky shore it is so easy to puncture the hull and its happened 6 times to my brother ,but to be far they go out almost 4 times a month onto the ocean here in Washington state but you can get a patch kit that works great any way that's one thing to watch out for when getting and out of the kayak on a rocky shore other than that enjoy it.
That was simple to put together and to take apart, thanks for sharing looking forward to the next video.
great idea for taking it on hikes and getting to the deep wilderness areas
Hi Brooke. That was a pretty cool kayak . It looked like it glided across that water so smoothly. I'm sure a lot of people will like those.
@+①③⓪③④⑨①④⑧③⑧WhatsApp i don't understand what this is for
I’m Alaskan and I just ordered my Coast XT. I’m excited
sweet! i really think you'll love it after the break in curve of putting it together...
I used to do a lot of ocean kayaking and used a blow up donut pillow like for hemorrhoids (didn't have them :D ) but the pillow is awesome :) Well made and stows away easy :)
I love you Brooke! That foldable kayak looks amazing as well!
Omg is all I can say. That's awesome. I absolutely love it. Plz stay safe.
Cool video and very cool kayak! Where do you get these toys! 😎🥰 Can't wait to see you guys fishing and kayaking. Clicked on link to see this boat on a lake in Alaska and her fish for trout. Saw this video a year ago and it never gets old. I miss the woods, lake and camp fires through Brooke's eyes. What a treat! Thank you! 🥰
Very cool, so well designed, thanks for sharing.
Awesome!!!! And so nice to see you in Alaska! 👍😎🇨🇦📷🌎
I can't wait to see that on Lake Superior!
I just bought 2 Oru Lake models for us to bring in our RV. Smallest, lightest Oru. Amazing kayaks.
Awesome!
That’s awesome Brooke, would make any portages so much easier! It’s an engineering marvel, wow. Good for you, can’t wait to see the adventures in it, thanks for sharing.
Neat! The regular ones are so heavy and difficult to store. We had a double kayak, it was really heavy but we had a child with us. We got rid of that when our child grew up. Beautiful water!!
yeah they are stupid heavy
Well that was cool!! But
the scenery is the best everrrrr!! 😊👍
Brooke, I love it. It maybe just the thing for me because it compacts down. I would love to have a hard shell Kayak but, it wouldn’t fit in my mustang, hubby don’t want it in the back of the pickup. LoL I already have enough thing on my little camper, so I got me an inflatable one. It fits anywhere! I actually got it because you showed us yours in a video a while back.
Thanks for all your video’s.
Hi There, what a terrific video. What they don’t think of. Enjoy you so much. ❤️
I have the beach Lt for rec fun, but just got a black coast xt and cant wait for it to arrive.
Really neat! I love your boots too!!!
Wow....this might be my best solution. I'm moving into an area where there is river and canal but have no place to park a kayak. I am looking into it right now.
Small tip...the rubber rings on the paddle should be slid in closer to your hands as they stop water from running down the paddle on the upstroke and dripping into the boat. Not very effective when the rings go under water on the downstroke....I have the smaller Inlet model from ORU and really like it for van life.
You never fail to amaze me. Great girl where ever you Stay safe my friend.
Thank you for the great video. Awesome demo. Stay safe and healthy. Happy trails.
Love this!! Absolutely a must have for on the go water adventure!! Thank you Brooke! Lovely day to you🌼🌺🌼🌺
Outstanding! The landscape is amazing, it just fits a wonderful woman like you. Watching you from Mexico!
Thank you so much 😀
What an incredibly beautiful place!
It's so beautiful there. What a cool kayak!
You are such a wonderful inspiration!
Thank you for showing us part of your home state!! Keep these wonderful reviews and relaxing videos coming! ❤️
thanks!
THAT IS THE COOLEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN !!!!!!
Hi from Tennessee. Thanks for sharing your review. Have a great day.
Thanks for watching!
Nice review Brooke 👍👍
Ha ha! I used work at a place that build portable kayaks in Vancouver. But the kit was a lot smaller, and it was VERY light. This one looks like a good one for sure!
cool yes it is
Hey Brooke, Just watched this and then your fishing one. That fish looked amazing! My niece does a lot of kayaking. I am going to share your videos with her. I’m sure she will enjoy your channel too. Thanks for sharing.
Cool thanks!
What a unique kayak, thanks for sharing Brooke 👍 ❤️ 😀 😊
Well im glad i found your channel. Ive been looking at getting one of these for dropping bait in seward and ninilchik 😂
Wow awesome kayak. Take care ❤
Alaska 😍 definitely inspired to visit there someday. Interesting product too !
60 years ago our family friends from Austria had a similar thing called a Folboat. We loved playing with them in the rivers of Washington (back then you could get away from people going to the Cascades).
Yes those are great!
Wow, so beautiful out there
Awesome video! I’m in process of deciding between the Beach LT sport and Bay ST. I’m in Tennessee so no need for the coast just will be casual paddles on lakes and slow rivers. Occasionally fishing from it. But I watch all these cause I’m so fascinated by them lol. I have a Pelican currently and I’m beyond done with having to load it on top of vehicle. Gonna keep it for friends/family that ever paddle with me
OMG that scenery! " For you have made me rejoice, O Jehovah, because of your deeds; Because of the works of your hands I shout joyfully. " Psalms 92:4
Nothing in this world compares with those experiences your having and the places you go. Absolutely Impressive! 👍
Psalms 137:9 - SMASH A BABY'S HEAD ON A ROCK!!!!
(the Bible is an immoral fantasy-fiction book with talking trees, talking animals, zombies, 950 year old people and mythical global flooding)
You are just great Brooke. You motivate big time!
awesome thanks!
Wow! Great kayak!
Super cool, very happy for you👍
I love your hat Brooke
They are nice. I've paddled one.
Great video! I'm in the Yukon and I'm interested in this product. Thanks.
