Great video, thank you. I have the H10 and love it

Obviously you don’t use the Stanley

Great video! What’s the most number of nights you camping using this kayak? Did you bring your own water on those trips and were you able to store it well in this kayak?

I know it’s not that dark there, but on your video it looks like you are spotlighting them. For a good video wait till it’s good and light. Thanx love those squirrels.

Are the handles accessable from underneath? To be changed out.

Nice bag set up but I would also add emergency shelter stuff like for a small supper shelter along with fire kit small stove either alcohol or wood or even solid fuel or at least 2 of them along with first aid and food too either military m.r.e's or home made ones or even dehydrated foods like back pack food that you add hot water to.

Arnt you supposed to be wearing orange too?

How is the hull holding up now that you have had it a little while?

What public land was this if you dont mind giving it away? I just got done at mackay ford for 4.5 hrs and didn't see a single squirrel, laid down for about an hour at a time and moved a few times and nothin

If you really wanted to catch a good size fish you should have chopped off a piece of that steak used it for bait you would have caught a nice size catfish

You should do real good an hour before dark and an hour after dark there's about a 2 and 1/2 hour window there for the scioto River

Thanks for reviewing this brand. Just looking into this

Man this was a nice Kayak Adventure. I can tell you had a good time with your body. In the video at 9:35 where your buddy was going to have to wear his Crocs over top of the tree those Crocs would have been a lot better. I would had to do that wearing flip flops because I am a chubby fat dude with big very very extremely wide feet sz15 6E wide with very fat chubby wide toes that are equally straight across making my foot very very wide at 6 1/2 inches wide from my big toe to my lil toe.My foot out Grew shoes , socks , boots when i was young & flip flops is the only footwear that will barely and i mean barely fit my foot because of my toes being wider than the flip flops straps. If my toes was at a 45° angle instead of being evenly straight across I would be able to find a shoe that will fit on my foot. I have to kayak Barefooted 👣style because of my toes being so wide. I hate having very very extremely wide feet but my wife love seeing my chubby fat wide toes that are evenly straight across in flip flops with both of my lil toes hanging off the Footbed of the flip-flops. She thinks my feet look very very cute in flip-flops like that. I'm married to a crazy wife who loves my chubby fat wide toes. We even got married wearing flip flops. Good video thank you for sharing.

I’m trying the Tidwe turkey vest for my ground hunts. It has a built in chair. We’ll see how it goes

Are they still holding up well?

Titanium pots are good to boil water only, to use with Mountain House is good, if you try cook common rice for example, using a titanium pot, it will burn the rice at the bottom and fail... Stanley Adventure Two Cups Cookset is a solid project, very safe and functional. That two cups are double wall, nice for drink hot coffee with out burn your hands or lips, they save the temperature for a long time...

I live up in Kenton near the start of the Scioto. Made a 26 mile trip this weekend down past LaRue. Such a great time. Weather permitting, next week I'm setting off from LaRue and going to try to make it down to Prospect. All goes well I will make it down to Circleville by Summer's end. Great video bud, thank you

Im a big guy also, I want to buy a kayak i can stand on while fishing would hate to buy one that I don't like . I love the space in the h12, always thought it would cool to float a river at night and make stops to coyote hunt.

This is awesome! I just did my first kayak camping trip in the Smokies: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/n8udgJhntLC8h5s.html

Nice! I live in Ohio as well and am getting to go on a late hunt (wasn’t able to hunt any sooner). So this is pretty helpful. Thanks!

👍💯

Do not be afraid to test it on water!

Aprox 250ml equals 1 imperial cup. I think your USA cup might be a little smaller.

1 fluid oz is roughly 30ml of fluid. It's not that complicated to convert.

I use mine for fishing hunting and camping

That center section is designed to reduce water resistance such as heavy wakes and ablet on glide through . It's not designed for standing up in but the full cavity ones are though

I love this series of ascend. I tricked mine out to the max.

What section of the Scioto are you on? Looks like a blast! Been thinking of getting an h12 for awhile! Thanks for the videos on it!

Nice bag setup but I would also add some food for all day hunting and also shelter and fire for just in case good idea on the vest I try to carry 2 one to cover the game when down just in case you need to come back to recover it and one for yourself I have been shot at by bow hunters when they don't see orange but just movement.

Where did you guys launch at? Ive been wanting to do a trip down sometime this summer

I totally use the locking lid to hold a load that’s too large for the canister :)

Exactly the comparison I was looking for. Love my Stanley set. I don’t use the integrated plastic mugs, I’ve put my own light weight mug inside. I want to more Lightweight but gosh i love my Stanley

Good work.

It was an awesome trip

I have the h10, never understood the mesh or rubber covers. The thing is so deep you dont have to worry about anything falling overboard and its a FISHING kayak. Last thing i want is my gear to have to fit under a cover or have to remove bungees to access it. My covers have never been removed from the box lol. Cooler in the back (taller than the cover allows) and 5 gallon bucket full of tackle boxes anchor knives pliers plastics ets in the front also taller than cover allows. If water is coming in its coming in, this is a very OPEN boat, that cover aint helping, its just a gimmick to make it look fancier than it is. Its a bare bones (mostly) functional fishing yak for small bodies of water and slow moving rivers. The bow and stern covers are USELESS and more of a hindrance than a help. I assumed they were compartments until i bought one. If youre over 6 feet tall your feet will be IN the front "compartment" the only thing seperating the bow and stern from the cockpit is the crossmember on top. The forward facing and the crossmembers is what makes it a "Hybrid" its just a narrow forward facing canoe. You cant stand in an h12 cause youre built like Private Pyle. Im 6'4'' and 220 and i can use my h10 like a stand up paddle board. a 12 footer is even easier. Most kayak fisherman arent built like they go to hometown buffet for breakfast lunch and dinner. Thank god youre a "hardcore" nalgene user and this kayak accommodates your hardcore use of a brand of water bottle that you fill with kool-aid. You aint big boned. I eat like dog shit too but i dont pretend i dont. I dont pretend im a hardcore nalgene user either. I start every summer at 250-260lbs and because of actually USING my kayak to fish instead of taking selfies on it with my nalgene bottle with a caption that says "fitness can be fun!" i end the summer at about 190...i put it back on by february but its gone again by august. Im a hardcore budweiser user. That nalgene bottle is doing wonders lol, If i worked for nalgene i would sue you for defamation.. Save the comments im fully aware im an asshole.

On a another video I watched the guy adjusted the seat the way he wanted and then zip tied it to the Ascend H12 so that if it flipped the seat would remain inside.

Is it easy to paddle and does it track well? I'm seriously thinking about upgrading to a more stable kayak Hybrid that is more stable and I can Catfish out of and has more storage space.

Great video! I love my H12! I especially recommend making some diy pvc keel guards. I have a video on my channel of making mine if you’d like to check it out! Best wishes!

Thanks for the Review. I'm 5'11 and 275, so, like you, I am "good looking sized". I have actually been somewhat "afraid" to get into a kayak but my wife and kids love them. I think I am going to pull the trigger and get either this one of the H-10, I haven't decided yet.

Looking at buying one,I live in Minnesota what to use for the BWCA and there is a lot of portages so how would you carry this Kayak do they make yokes to haul on your shoulders

Flex seal paint

That's an awesome chair. I have a cheap version of it but I'm think I'm going to upgrade to this chair. My buddy he cut 4 lil small pieces of plywood for me to sit underneath the chair legs from sinking into the ground and I got to tell you it works well. You got an awesome Channel man keep up the good work.

Man those are a nice pair of boots. I'm looking for a pair of boots for winter this year. I have a question sir? You mentioned in the video you wear a size 13 wide and those are just a straight sz13. Do you know how wide your feet are? The reason why I'm asking because I have a very very wide foot 6 EEEEEE with very fat wide toe and was wondering should I go with my regular size or should i go with a wide size. Thank you for sharing this video.

That was a nice review you did of your kayak. I wish you had a video of you kayaking in it. I have a real close buddy of mine he is looking for a kayak. He's about 325 Ibs I will share this with him cuz I would love to see him have a kayak too so we both can go kayaking. I like the covers on the kayak too. I have a question? Does the boat hold a lot of water then you like put your feet inside the kayak or come over the kayak. I would it be easier to kayak barefooted 👣. Thank you for sharing your video.

i love the cups! they have many uses

I own a H12, & am a hefty 285lb,feller,have trouble standing& getting out of kayak,any suggestions ! Thanks!

Question. Did you record your intro yourself? I feel like you’re just the type of renaissance man that also plays guitar and it sounds great lol

The pontoon shape is for standing up

Thanks for the review. This kayak is going to be perfect for me then. And yes, you definitely need more practice on standing up on kayaks. I'm able to stand up with good balance really quickly on kayaks that don't have flat surfaces. And it took some time before I finally got it down. But yes, definitely standing up from seated position takes practice esp with the small amount of space you have in a kayak.

How is this to lift on my suv roof rack when solo?
