This has been our paddling base camp for a few weeks every year since 2017.

Nice. Have paddled 1000s of kms around Koh Phayam and Koh Chang since 2007. Best unknown yaking spot in SEA IMO. Have also paddled from Phayam to Satun a couple of times. Try it sometime if you haven't already. Great adventure.

I am unfamiliar with this kayak, but it looks to a good design. The seat seems to be a bit forward in the design, I wonder how that affects weathercocking. Remove the rear bulkhead so you can access the deeper space in front of it. Use inflated airbags to stabilize the gear and take up space.

As an Aquaglide kayak owner of the Navarro 145 and the Chelan 155, I can truly agree with you; Aquaglide is very durable and reliable. I got into fly-fishing a year ago; fishing rivers in waders. However, now I want to do some lake fishing - from a kayak. I am so tempted to get the Blackfoot 130, but I'm going to try it with the Navarro first and see how it works. The thing is, the newer Blackfoot kayaks have elevated (metal framed) seating, and from what I understand they are really comfortable. However, those seats are designed to fit the Blackfoot, and no other model. I purchased a couple of drop stich seat risers from Aquaglide; I'm going to see if that works. Otherwise, the Blackfoot is on my radar.

Rothco's battle suspenders Im pretty sure

Appreciate your review. What is concerning from your review is that you report 3 episodes of leak or puncture in the Astraglide on 2 consecutive boats with one involving the dropstitch floor. I am looking at getting an inflatable kayak. When reviewing the high quality inflatables and seeing a report like yours (which is helplful) pushes me away from Astraglide Blackfoot and looking more towards other models like NRS Pike or Wilderness systems iATAK or innovative sportsman osprey. 3 leaks/punctures in 2 boats in 3 years is 3 too many. Again, thanks for the review.

Hi my friend . I know my comment does not fit to the topic, but you became dam lean. You are looking great.

Good job ? What about the trafic rules ?

Welcome 😁

thanks for the update maybe pivot into an outdoor cooking channel? I am glad you are healthy and thriving

Hello friend, I’m moving to Si Sa ket soon. My friend Sakchai told me you’re living there now and like to adventure! How can I get ahold of you?

Hey mate are you still alive, and have you ever gone up to 100/110km/h? Cheers from Aus

Why in the world would you recommend a brand that has had 2 leaks with two kayaks? That's crazy. I'll stick with my Itiwit, no leaks.

From Canada thank you for you're Great review !

Just so you know, I for one miss your videos. Hope you will release new videos soon! :)

Thank you! Just bought one for $675😊

Thank you for this. I saw your review of the Aquaglide Blackfoot! I think I'm pretty much sold on this 'yak, because I think it perfectly suits my situation: just retired, 66yo, don't want a heavy lift atop my Subaru, and use mostly for inshore fishing. No intention on getting technical. So, sounds perfect! Two questions for you: do you inflate the night before and load it into a roof carrier? And if so, how does that perform at highways speeds? Also, do you think it could manage an anchor? Thanks again!

Hi mister, please mind the salt water crocodiles. Better try northern hemisphere river and lakes. My very best regards.

I googled "zylon" and couldn't find this product. Do you know if it's available in North America? If not, what would be a suitable replacement?

Cool

And how much do these vacuum sealing things cost?

Suspenders 👍

Epic build . I have a 20’ canoe . When I launch it in the water , I want to bring everything with me . Canoe , Trailer and Bike. The canoes capacity is 1400 pounds , and weighs 75 pounds . Thank you for the video .✌️😎

I've found that the larger cuts of meat take MUCH longer to rehydrate. The size of your cuts, I put in a sealed bowl with cold water for a few hours. The dense foods are much slower to rehydrate. Also, raw foods cook much faster and are easily prone to overlooking, making them dry. I like to break the meats up dry into small bite-sized pieces, rehydrate, and make soups/stews/casseroles. It's what I do when camping and probably will do in a survival situation. It stretches the food further. Thanks for the video.

I carry a clam shell repair kit in case of a serious puncture

OMG Lars, the only way I would do that is with a 5km rope tied to me at the entrance! That looks sooo claustrophobic!

Great to catch up on your latest video's Lars! Didn't know you had moved to Isaan. Looking forward to seeing more of the area and your lifestyle!

Thxs for your review. Was on the verge to buy a Atlantis 14 when I saw your video. Decided to go directly for the Emotion 505, whitout testing it. At almost 66, with only kanoe and recreational kayak experience, it was a bit of a gamble. As I will use it mainly for solo multi day eiland hoping trips, you have to be sure to be able to do self rescue. But after 2 weeks I will go along with you. It is an amazing fast boat and can make it easily 6 km/hr. Able to do selfrescue with the peddle float, but with 4 days of drinking water, food, and a load of gear, the boat will be heavy. In a week, I will test this out as well. When ok, I am off for 4 days of the grid. Also bought myself the portable barbeque you used on your trips. Can you tell me the location where you lounged the kayak for your Ko Payam trip? As with all the mangrove delta's it can take a long time to find a tide independent spot.

Emotion 505 is a kayak suitable for light paddler about 65 kg? Thanks

Is suitable for light paddler about 65 kg too? Thanks

Rubbish. Just turn on gas and let mantle burn and shrink.

3:53 These are fake characteristics! In fact, a good manufacturer would indicate a power of 5W for this panel - this is exactly the power that the solar cells used in this panel have in their maiden state, that is, when they are not cut and not laminated with a protective coating. Of course, you won’t be able to get that kind of power from the panel’s USB port. Most gadgets that require power supply voltage will be able to receive 2.5W power from this panel. This power is enough for slow charging of many smartphones. They will be charged from it at the same speed as from a USB 2.0 port on a computer, which also produces 2.5W power. Some modern smartphones may refuse to charge directly from this panel, and then you will have to charge the power bank from it, and then the smartphone from it. Some power banks capable of charging at a very low voltage will be able to get about 3.2W of power from this panel at a voltage of 4.2V. Such a socket, when used correctly (when it stands on the ground or other stationary surface all sunny day, correctly oriented towards the Sun and no shadow falls on it), will allow you to receive a current of approximately 6000mA on a cloudless summer day, part of which will then be lost when charging the gadget . If you plan to charge a power bank from the panel, and only then charge other gadgets from this power bank, then these other gadgets will ultimately only be able to receive about half of the specified amount of current, that is, to charge a smartphone with a 3000mA battery, you will first have to stand in one place spend 7 hours charging the power bank, and then some more time charging the smartphone from the power bank (for example, my smartphone takes 3.5 hours to charge from the power bank). One can only guess how much time then you will have to move along the trail...;) In cloudy weather, this socket will practically not work and you will have practically no reserve of electricity for this case, unless of course you take a separately charged power bank with you for such a case. Think about whether this is enough for you. Think carefully so you don't end up being disappointed and telling people that using a solar panel on a camping trip is a bad idea! Personally, I use the AllPowers 21W solar panel, which, weighing 475 grams, can actually output up to 13.5W of power through its USB ports. In practice, this means that in 7 hours of a cloudless summer day, this socket is capable of charging a 20,000mA power bank from 0% to 100%, and you still have time to recharge your smartphone from it. As a result, I will have not only a reserve of electricity for the next smartphone charge, but also a couple of more smartphone charges in case of cloudy weather. If I don’t need such a large amount of charge and only need to compensate for the charge in the power bank spent in the evening charging my smartphone, then an hour at a lunch stop will be enough for me, and in the morning, while I’m packing the tent and my things in the backpack and having breakfast, this socket will replenish the smartphone charge that he spent at night. If you think that a panel weighing 475 grams is too heavy and you don’t need a lot of electricity since you rarely use your gadgets, then in this case you can consider the option of the AllPowers 15W solar panel, which in my opinion is the smallest a panel that is worth taking and that can really provide you with electricity while camping; one person traveled with such a panel and a power bank which he charged from it for several months and during this time he did not have the need to charge from a regular power outlet.

You have the most unusual accent. My guess is you are European ( Dutch?) and learnt (or improved) your English from some Brits and possible a South African as well. Lots of Expats in Thailand perhaps? Great video as well.

It's the food source for the future. You have the space, you have the grass, you have the time. Go for it.

Welcome back! Looking forward to more videos.

Hi. I am considering to buy this kayak. The one I've seen in shop had the same issue with front hatch :p next days I will get one for few days for test. I hope it will impressed me.

About how long does it burn on a canister of gas?

bravo! welcome back

Nice to see you back on deck Lars.

Not no 1 but yes those are ok Try a sea eagle if you want the real no 1

This was great! Short, but easy to follow and all healthy ingredients! I can't wait to make it! Thanks!

This is genius. I was wondering how something like that would work! Thanks for sharing!

Could I know where was the put in and take out point for this trip? Interested in doing the same route!

You can’t freeze dry the fat, you need to cut it off. The fat will make your chop go bad if you don’t cut it off. You can’t freeze dry fat like butter, oil or fat on meat.

Landing an inflatable kayak is one of the biggest risks to them. Gravel is extremely sharp, rocky beaches are not a good landing site, and old tar / cement ramps with decaying material can be very sharp. Even smooth boat ramps are not so great. If your not 100% sure your landing on very smooth sand, always get out first. A few inches of water on your feet is not a big deal. Even with very durable inflatable kayaks, I've come to the conclusion that it is best to not be afraid to get your feet wet, and get off the kayak before landing. This is a much safer way for your kayak. Hard shell kayaks can also puncture and that is a misconception people make. But the likelihood is far less. One time I saw a hard shell sink, and the guy said he hit a rock. And if you capsized on the water, an inflatable would be much more likely not to take on water and sink.

Thank you. Cute little lamp.

Hi nice video can you tell me how long it takes to pack it back
