Thank you!

Thanks for watching! Yes, they are both public docks. I launched at Cates Park in North Vancouver and stopped for lunch at Twin Islands Provincial Park.

@@cedarcabinsociety Thanks. I thought I recognized Cates Park. But I havent stopped at that island before. I'm looking forward to trying it.

Definitely agree! I’ve had much better luck at the mouth of the Cap too. Hoping to get back out again shortly. Tight lines!

Thanks for watching! I believe the seems are glued but I’m not 100% sure on that. It’s a great little inflatable for calm waters and sandy beaches but I wouldn’t trust it in anything more than that. I’ve since upgraded to a more rugged and versatile inflatable boat by a local company called Stryker, so I’m getting the Paddleski ready to sell.

@@cedarcabinsociety Sounds good I’ve been doing some research on another brand called True Kit they’re Tactician Model looks like a good inflatable 😎🍻

@@user-ktm890rider I’ve heard of that brand but not that model. I’ll have to check it out!

No problem at all! The dehydrated meals are by no means cheap, so I try to give folks as much info as I can to help before they buy.

Thanks so much for watching! I definitely get tired of doing the back to back remote camping trips. I don’t currently have anywhere to store a trailer, so I have to build and break the boat down before and after every trip, which can be very taxing. I love doing these trips though, so it always keeps me coming back for more.

Thanks so much for watching! Glad you enjoyed it.

Thanks for watching! I’m actually not sure if you need a reservation for summit camping but my best guess is yes.

Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed it

It’s an incredible area! You won’t regret it

Because the head of the bivy can remain open and unzipped while still being protected from inclement weather

@@cedarcabinsociety that’s really cool! thank you!

No worries!

Wow thanks so much! That’s made my day 🙌🏻 Great to have you with us.

Hahah I’ve almost done that a few times with the paddle 🤦‍♂️😅 I certainly like to think she’s the happiest dog in the world. It makes it all worth while seeing her ripping around the bush and enjoying life. Thanks again for watching!

Thanks for letting me know! I didn’t know that.

@@cedarcabinsociety Np. Be careful when you eat them. They’re not like raspberries, the seeds are hard as stone. Can easily break a tooth!

Hey - thanks for watching! I really love my paddleski as a solo boat for calm waters/lakes, as I think this is where it performs at its best. Unfortunately, since I purchased it, my needs have changed a lot and I now need more space to bring my dog, gf and gear along on adventures. I also like to salmon fish locally using heavier down-riggers that the paddleski can’t support, so having a more stable and rugged boat that handles ocean swell better gives me more peace of mind. Regarding the paddling experience, it’s doable for short distances (<5km) but personally I wouldn’t use it without an outboard or trolling motor, as it can be quite challenging to handle when the wind kicks up. I think it works best with a combo of both to cover distance on the motor and get in shallow using the paddle.

Cheers, glad you enjoyed it. We’re so spoiled for epic terrain up here in the PNW and awesome to hear about your row boat adventures with your doggo. I’m really sorry your pups not with you anymore. I know I’ll be an absolute mess when that day comes. Very happy to hear its bringing back good memories though and great to have you onboard.

Thank you 🙌🏻

Hahaha one of these days I’ll get consistent with my uploads lol. I’d better make it longer next time if we’re on company time 🤣

Cheers mate! That means a lot. Thanks so much for watching as always. We need to get you out here for one of these trips!

Thanks so much for watching! Glad you enjoyed it 🙌🏻

Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it!

No worries - thanks for watching!

Ah that sucks! Sorry to hear that. I’m sure it will make someone very happy wherever it showed up next.

Personal preference mainly. It’s nice to mix it up from time to time.

Cheers bud, thanks for watching! The rod is attached to a rod holder accessory made by the board’s manufacturer (iRocker). I purchased it directly through their website.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching, Bill! Yep for sure. The boat is a Stryker LX420. It’s a 14ft roll up inflatable boat with aluminum floor boards. The outboard is a Mercury 6HP short shaft. A full boat setup video will be up on the channel soon.

Thanks so much, Lisa! Really glad you enjoyed it. I’m still working on my drone filming skills but it’s been a lot of fun so far. I couldn’t resist putting in the underwater shot of Murphy swimming haha 🤣

Cheers, Chris! Glad you enjoyed it. Finding that hidden waterfall and swimming with Murphy was definitely the highlight for us. It felt so great to get off the grid and put the world on pause for a few days. I also just got back from another solo boat camping trip last night, so they’ll be plenty more content on the way shortly.

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching!

Hey Eric! Thanks so much for watching and for reaching out. It’s great to meet another paddleski owner! I still haven’t come across anyone up here in BC yet. Thanks for the recommendation about the paddle keepers. I’ll definitely have a look into those because space is certainly at a premium right now 😅 I’m still trying to find a way to fit my dog (Murphy) on it too for quick overnight trips but that’s still a work in progress. I’m hoping to get back out on it shortly to give it another crack. Tight lines for bass season! Cheers, Chris

Thanks for watching! I’m using the lake troller downrigger from Scotty. I’ve tested it a few times and it works great with a 4lb ball. It’s mounted on a Scotty’s 241 base mount that it snaps into, so no extra parts needed. The Garmin fish finder is mounted on a Scotty universal base mount and also attached using the Scotty 241 base. Hope that helps!

Thanks for watching and subscribing! 🙌🏻

Cheers, Chris! Thanks for watching

Living her best life 🐶

Hey! Thanks so much for watching. I really appreciate the kind comment. Of course! My air mattress is the Xtherm Max in the large size. It will fit inside the OR Helium but it doesn’t leave a lot of room to spare. There’s enough space inside to close both the bug net and the waterproof hood zips but the mattress pretty much fills all the floor area of the bivy. Hope that helps and fire away if you’ve got any other questions.

Hey Carol! Great to hear from you and hope you’re doing well. The knees definitely on the mend now thankfully! Looking forward to lots of BC adventures this summer! Have you got any exciting trips planned?

@@cedarcabinsociety , so happy to hear that Chris. I have a couple of weeks off in July so I’m thinking of going to the island to adventure around. Enjoy your adventures over the summer , I look forward to watching your videos on them.

We’ll be over on the island a fair bit as well this summer! Enjoy your adventures!

Thank you for watching! 🙌🏻

Cheers, Chris! Appreciate you watching as always. It took a little longer than I expected to bounce back from knee surgery but we’re back in business now! Murphy can’t get enough of camping trips, so I’m very thankful for that. We do indeed have some big trips planned for this summer. I can’t give too much away just yet but we’ll be spending a lot of time on the North and West coasts of Vancouver Island. Definitely some of the more remote areas we’ve ever been, so can’t wait to get stuck into that!

@cedarcabinsociety I plan on exploring a little bit of Vancouver Island as well this summer. Have some awesome adventures and a safe summer. Looking forward to seeing your trips.

She’s living the dream haha 🤣 Thanks for watching!

Thanks for watching, Michael! It’s all built using the Scotty mounting system. The Garmin is screwed to their “universal sounder mount” and the transducer is connected to the Scotty “transducer arm”. It’s very simple to operate and it’s all interchangeable between mounting locations.

Thanks for the tip! I’ll give that a try when I’m next out.
