Really enjoying your journey in canoeing. Saw River King’s video where you had him paddle at the Green River Revival at the Whitewater Center, and you have sent me on a journey to see how I can get into this action myself. Some older boats are reasonably priced here in North Carolina, so maybe I will give it a shot. I used to whitewater kayak a decent bit in high school, but got away from it. I like the style of canoeing a little more nowadays. Keep it up!

Hey, I'm having trouble with my offside roll. I'm having a lot of trouble getting the boat flat and getting under the boat. I have a black fly option and my onside roll is feeling very solid. Have any suggestions? Or strokes to pull myself under the boat?

When you say offside roll, you are referencing initiating/falling to your offside, then sweeping back up to your on side, correct? Not trying to actually roll up on your offside?

@@Nick_Metz just making sure I was understanding correctly. To be honest that was one of the harder things for me. I just spent time in the pool upside down and worked that motion back and forth until I ran out of breath. I would try and roll up, if I did not I just came out caught my breath again and tried again. Moving the body to the other side as quick as you can should get you past that break point. You have to try and get your blade so it cuts through the water and does not fight against it. I will say, you can ask 10 open boater how to roll and you will most likely get 10 different answers. Finding the thing that clicks for you is what matters. If you can find a pool or a good pond or lake to set up in and just hang out upside down and continue to roll on that offside and practice what you can to get it across to the on side. If you have someone with you that can stand an help flip you over that is good as well. Put in those reps. It sounds like if you can get it across then you will be fine. Don't be afraid to be slow and meticulous at first, get it down and then start to try and speed it up. Hopefully this is a bit helpful and if we meet up on the water I'll do my best to try and help as well!

The little girl in the background is stealing the show! And seriously, the beard. Nice job with it. I need to up my game there. I have the HoverAir X1 and am taking it with my wife. We leave soon on a vacation to BVI where I plan on taking video of us on the different islands there, as well as a few shots in hover mode on our Catamaran while moored or at anchor. I know, I know, I won’t be letting it out over water. As long as it’s downward facing sensors see something to give it a sense of how high it is, it will be fine. The Catamaran is 42 feet long and probably thirty feet wide-plenty of surface space for a hover for sure. I won’t be flying it in any appreciable wind, that’s for sure. Seriously though, looking forward to putting it through its paces and creating a really nice video filled with memories of this beautiful, upcoming vacation!

I enjoyed watching that mostly relaxing and peaceful trip in a part of the country that I'm not likely to see. I appreciate the work all you KZfaq producers put in to get such shots on solo trips! I've also watched a number of videos from "Xander Budnick" and "Lost Lakes" channels here on KZfaq. Those lads go on some epic wilderness journeys up in Ontario, Canada. I like the remoteness and the big loops they are able to do up there. Some of the whitewater they run looks frankly scary though, at least it does to this old fart! You've probably seen a few of their productions too, but thought I'd mention the channels just in case you have not.

Just wanted to add a tips for any tipi tent users. There are adapters available that allows you to connect two poles (must be longer for obvious reasons) to make it a A-shape to eliminate center pole to maximize usable space. There are some 3rd party companies that makes it and some tent manufacturers make it for their own but tipi is a tipi, they all work.

First off, thank you very much for this video. This is the type of the video that is ACTUALLY useful, not those videos that talks about features only and call it a review. Hope to see more of these types of testing videos. OneTigris need to add damned snow snow skirts. Also, they should do what they do best and make a clone of A-Frame poles. Basically just like the ones from SnowTrekker hot tent. For those who want to priortize strong wind strength. Way it is,,, this tent is not safe in windy condition with hot stove running. Even more so due it being non-canvas. Also, instead of a internal ridgeline loop, it should have some sort of vents on top peak which can dual purpose to pass through a ridgeline so that user can place this over it. I think that would improve overall strength as well, again during high winds. Also, a youtuber who used to be in bed with OneTigris and also collaborated in designing this hot tent jumped shipped to be in with Pomoly bed have collaborated in a similar design hammock hot tent but using a canavas as well. Different name but something about the name feel similar, haha.

Imagine for a moment that this tent had an option for a lightweight simple internal frame for extra $$. One ridge pole and an "A" support at each end (extending from the peak to each bottom corner) all collapsible. The frame would be very similar to snowtrekker canvas tent frame, but it wouldn't have to be as robust due the lighter load/weight of nylon vs 7-10oz treated canvas. This would eliminate over HALF of the ridiculous amount of pegs (20!) and guy lines required to safely erect this tent in windy conditions, AND eliminate the need for two trees the right space apart. A lightweight wedge hot tent in rip-stop nylon (or taffeta)...game changer for winter and shoulder season camping/fishing/hunting.
