    Did it pass the ocean test?

    What a cool gadget, Brooke! Folding it make it very easy to transport in any vehicle and safe the expense of a roof carrier. 🙂

    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.

    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.

    • @therealgirlinthewoods

    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.

    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!!

  • @stevencunningham4680
    @stevencunningham4680 2 роки тому +3

    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.

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.☺️

    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. ❤️

    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

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.
