I'd like to see Bote inflatable kayaks included. I'd also like to see side by side comparisons of inflatable vs foldable kayaks for durability and stability.
Hi. I believe that warrant another video on the topic. Thanks for suggesting Bote. I will check them out
Did you know that you can hike to a river, 100 feet or 30 miles and blow up your boat and float for a week. And, you will not see another person unless you choose to. You can camp on grassy banks or sandbars with freshwater for bathing or drinking and lots of wood for a cooking or bonfire.There is no place to spend money. The nice thing about an inflatable kayak is, that is your bed. You need a tarp to catch the dew at 4am. Your at the lowest point in the topography, and so, you get dew equivalent to about a half inch of rain. I use a down quilt my mom gave me, with the bottom sewed. My pack for a week with a 13 pound Tahiti weighs 45 pounds. I plan on eating a lot of jerky, dried fruit, peperoni, Top Ramon, instant rice, beans and poached trout. We also have eggs, Krustese pancakes Dak bacon and ham. The three of us have one first aid kit, gun, camera, and aluminum fry plate and a fifth of good whiskey. The best energy on a long hike is Tang or Start. A pot with lid, tin cup, aluminum pie plates and a knife and big spoon is essential.

I paid £50 for my intex challenger k1 5 years ago. Great boat but it's shocking how much they've shot up in price now
Thanks for sharing! Where did you kayak with it?
The pink flamingo kayak at 8:55 would be interesting. :D
Must be tough to only pick 10 from so many choices. Might I recommend a video on foldables and one on inflatables. Cheers!
Thanks! I will think about it
Itiwit x500, is a close approach to a rigid kayak. Also not too expensive
Thanks for sharing. I will look it up!
No Sea Eagle?
You missed, INTEX Excursion Pro
Thanks for the suggestion! Will check it out
Stopped watching video after seeing intex sport challenger 😂😂 it's a blow up bed omg
Sandbanksstyle optimal
Also any inflatable kayak without a dropstitch floor is just going to puncture
Nonsense! I've been using inflatables since 1983. Didn't get my first dropstitch till very recently.
CHECK OUT BOTE
Hi. Thanks for the suggestion! Will do.
