too many rules ,as long as I'm unseen ,I'll do what I want thanks ,Karen's get dealt with

Can i ask what do you do with yr boat when you ho into town haha

I did my coxes about 25 years ago and stilll to this day it kills me

very informative contents on your channel really helped me take on kayaking for the first time :) Thanks

awesome i want one

What app do you use

Can I buy it? Where?

Thanks for explaining why licences are paid. Unfortunately, some people just want something for nothing, and like to dress it up as a political position.

Merci pour cette vidéo, peut-on imaginer amener un enfant de ⅔ ans avec soit selon vous ? Je mesure 1,72m. Et est-il possible d’aller en mer (juste pour s’amuser sur le bord de plage). Merci à vous.

Being forced to pay for a service you may not want, is a tax. If the river is too dry I won’t paddle, if the water is too high, I won’t paddle. Whether you agree with it or not, it is a tax. A river is a natural resource.

Has anyone ever checked your licence ?

Excellent!! Just had a day Guildford to the New Inn - found a great backwater and was checking to see the Wisley route! And found you - thank you!!!

Hi mate ,you seem to of vanished for the last 8 months, hope you ok and keeping well ,would be great to see some kayaking camping adventures again 👍

in your intro you say it exactly how I feel when I get out on that water! Hope you're doing well and still paddling, brother

Great review! Thanks!! Help me to decide what to buy.

Lovely Steve. Just found your channel and really enjoying it. Inspired me to try and get out and do some of this. Hopefully more videos from you soon. Thank you

Coast vs waterways its a lot like fishing in the UK 😊

Hi Stevie, bought one a couple of months ago (Decathlon in Germany currently sell it at 2/3 of the UK price) and am really happy about it! It's exactly as you say, the super-low weight and size allows you to do things that you just can't do with a conventional kayak. Thank you so much for this review. I would never have heard of packrafting without it!

would you happen to know to which degree of pressure the chambers are to be filled ? (i just bought a used one and i don't know if it is stated on the wall of the kayak itself)..

Where can we kayak in or near London?

another tax so you can paddle rivers full of shit

i didnt know that, although why would i as i live in the scotish highlands, wild camping is not alowd everywhere ether, a lot of places dont let you, although i don't know how leagle that is but if your found you will get moved on.

I bought surf iSUP from it's been such a terrible experience. The first sup they sent had an issue, and they exchanged it. Shipped another one, which also had issues. The third one they sent is the worst. I guess they don't want my money.

Stevie, what hat are you wearing? it looks like something im after!

Hello, I am undecided between the pr 500 or the pr 100 for small tours in the sea in the mornings. I know that the purpose of using packrafts is lakes and rivers, but I really need the practicality of the packraft and I believe that it can be driven in the sea as well. Do you think there will be a big difference in tracking between the pr 100 and the pr 500? Which one should I buy? In terms of price and performance, the pr 100 seems more reasonable to me.

What a fantastic video, you made it so inviting 😊

Subbed thanks g

A tip, the installation of the feet pegs does not affect the storage, they can be staggered front and back.

Hi Steve, fantastic video - this looked great for kids - how good was the boat for solo paddling. I want to use with my kids but also go around shoreline for paddles on my own, so ideally looking for something that will cater for both. Thanks in advance!

The argument to me is like cycle helmets. Just bloody wear it. It's not hard work. As for knives almost every thing is legal when you have a legitimate reason and you're not in a public place, such as a town centre. Otherwise why would places like go outdoors and military surplus places sell bigger knives. I have a mora knife, definitely not legal as far as the law is concerned but of it's a tool for bushcraft then it's all good. All about context.

If it’s a dji they normally work again ok if it’s dried out well!

I feel your pain. I hurt my coccyx on my stag do 🙄 and it didn’t really stop hurting for a good 10 years. Will see in the next vid how you got on from here 👍

The amount of tax I pay there is no way I’ll be paying I take your point on board but this country has become a disgrace! And let’s be real a lot of the water ways are disgusting and never maintained just another way to control us

Love your kayaking films, but would request you rethink your heavy metal music. Even in brief, it jars badly.

Licence to canoe....??...................................................YEAH right

just ordered a 4p x100, worried there is a max lenght restrictions for UK Canals? Ive sent an emailand awaiting reply but does anyone know if theres such restrictions?

Is this suitable for 3 adults? You mention 2 adults and a dog, what about 3 x grown ups. Would it be too unstable /heavy? Offcourse would be within weight spec but is it best to keep away from the max?

is this still a good choice for newbies in 2024?

Don't care if u need a licence or not I do what I want as long as I'm not hurting anyone

Can I buy a canoe and equipment and have a mooch on the Manchester Ship canal?

That is amazing advice

Interesting thanks. Especially the family part. I was thinking whether to get a family license but our two boys are not that interested so wouldn't be in their own craft, if they're covered by my license when they come in my boat that's just saved me a fare bit of cash. Cheers.

first one up its a tax reminder dont buy it waste of money

Thanks

Hi, Stevie. Good info generally. However, not all British waterways (other than Scottish) are covered by the British Canoeing ( now Paddle UK). There are public and private waterways that require a day/week/etc. licence.

I always carry a mobile phone and a Personal location beacon incase there is no phone signal. The other reason for wearing a PFD is that it sets a good example to children. You might not have children with you but it easier for a parent to be able to show a child that grown-ups wear them. I remember having an argument with my daughter when she was about eight for the need to wear a pdf. When we got back from the seaside it was reported that four children had drowned in seperate incidents over Bank Holiday weekend.

Thanks mate, very helpful =)

Phone: As a paddler, I strongly recommend to buy a WATER PROOF phone like a Samsung etc... I have it always in my PDF, attached with a small rope, but never in a dry bag. I use the phone to have a look on the map from time to time.

A very enjoyable video and a new subscriber.
