sounds like lots of highway noise there. is that true?

Here is a lady that knows how to do a review. About 3 1/2 minutes, straight to the point and gives me very helpful information.

Thanks for the tip about getting a “hiking permit”

What was the squash?

Hi! Did you have to get a permit or have your kayak inspected?

Do recall what site you had?

What is the na,e of the outfitter?

Thanks for sharing. Just found your channel. A fellow Steve watcher! Enjoy your step 2! Cheers!

Here’s the problems not explained. I just received mine and I’m likely sending it back. It is lightweight. The seat is not uncomfortable. Agree with all of that. Easy to assemble. It absolutely leaks a little bit and is not completely waterproof due to the creases. Agree with the brackets. They should be higher to hold the bulkheads What’s not mentioned is it’s not a great kayak for the ocean unless it’s completely placid water. I kayak primarily in rivers and like to swim and there is a problem there as well That’s another thing not mentioned in any reviews. If you fall out you Will NOT be getting back in without swimming it back to shore. Maybe if you weight under 50 lbs you can but the average man attempting to get back in will capsize it. It will fill with water, won’t sink but there you are. That eliminates being able to stop in the water and take a swim. Not happening. I spent an hour in my swimming pool and there is absolutely no feasible way I can renter the kayak. Even getting out of it can be a challenge to not swamp the boat. It also does not feel super stable as I paddle. Even the slightest movement sends it rocking which you then have to counter so for me it’s a workout just keeping it upright. If you want a lightweight kayak that you have no intentions of getting out of then it’s probably a good option. I’m still very light but there are some kayaks with not my ch more weight that are solid and more stable for getting in and out of the water. I live in Florida and spend my times in the springs and rivers. Getting to swimming locations you will frequently traverse areas with alligators. If you capsize in one of those areas you are in big trouble because you have to drag the thing to shore. Once your at the swimming locations you have to frequently swim off the kayak. Not possible. Overall it might be good for some but it isn’t going to work for me. Likely going to send it back.

Nice trip! I'm going to add this to the list of places to visit. Thanks. Make sure you bring a battery operated carbon monoxide sensor when you use the buddy heater.

the channels to where the orange pieces fit started cracking on mine... just used JB weld worked pretty well stronger than ever... had to reinforce the other ones too

Great straightforward review.

Always wondered about this campground. Thank you for sharing

Really enjoy your videos. New subscriber here!

Awesome experience. Great video

I finally found ORU and yes it is pricey but hey it was my BD present ;) I had a helper for the first go... watched the video about 18 times and tested it in my back yard after the living room, and I realize how much weaker I have gotten. I'm hoping for the best and being able to go out the next two days that are forecast 89, our winter is coming and just a few days to enjoy. wish me luck!!!! I chose this one so I could could take my 3 year old rescue. Hopeful. It was difficult day!!! wishing I was on the lake.

Thanks for the video. Good points. I'm trying to decide between the inlet and beach models. What made you choose the beach? I like the Inlet (for portability) but I'm a little concerned about the lightweight and tracking ( of both actually). Thanks.

What brand is the kayak??

I see a Costco cooler! Just bought one myself this summer but haven't used it yet. Bear box but using a tent? Keep safe. There's a walking path on one side of June lake that parallels the shore.

Keep it coming! We love your authentic and genuine videos. 2 years is too long; once a month!

Great video about camping 🏕 thank you 🙏 for sharing ❤️

Did you find that the corrugations retain water and cause problems with storage?

Is that Newport dunes?

Hi! We camped Palomar years ago ... maybe 2003ish. I recall the stars in the sky. So beautiful!

Thanks for doing a long term review. I'm waiting for shipment of an Inlet and I'm glad you didn’t mention any issues with durability, which is a big question in most of the “first impression”reviews I've seen.

Nice one I ordered mines

Thank you very much. This is a helpful video

Live in Oceanside area and have been doing some solo camping too, need a buddy let me know!

That foot rest is what prevents my purchase. They say they improved it this year but it still looks flimsy.

i love your videos

Nicely done.

Yeah...Those are bear “paw” prints

i missed your vids

Epic adventure! Loved this video so much!

I like your vid. Looks like you are enjoying yourself cool

My family camped there in August 1967. Fewer trains and less congestion back then. I sure like it there. Currently, I’m stuck in Minnesota. I’ll get back someday - I hope.

Killing out there sis!! Love San Mateo any time of the year. So much fun. Awesome video I was trying to convince my gf to go with me and she seems more open to it after watching this (:

I just wanted to say thank you for sharing. I’m struggling to find a campground these days with closures and the fire alerts it’s difficult. I will see if this place is open.

Lovely winter camping video.

I wan to try winter camping

Nice informative video, thanks.

Is there off roading there ?

Love Palomar mountain! I live just down from the mountain and every week I go up there for some fresh air and quiet time. Excellent video! 👍

Desert camping can definitely be windy! Have you gone camping at Borrego Palm Canyon campground? I just went about a month ago and I think you'll love it. The Palm canyon hike from the campground is around 3 miles round trip and it's nice with the creek running after the rain. We even saw a rattlesnake off the trail during our hike, such a cool experience :)

First time commenting, but been following...my fiance and I love your videos! Please come back to KZbin and share more of your adventures. We're excited to try out Palomar Mountain camping once quarantine passes...we planned on going this spring but this who coronavirus mess has put a halt on our camping adventures for now.

I just discovered your channel. The O’Neill Regional Park you were at, is that near Cooks Corner?

You guys gotta check out buzzygrill.com.

I'm looking to camp this mountain with my kids. Good vid! nice job on the steak!

Wow! So freaking awesome!
