Testing the Sevylor Colorado Kayak

I bought the Kayak before Christmas but never got round to testing it out so I decided to take the new kayak to the canal today
for its maiden voyage..
How hard could it be !!!

[@DevOpsNerd]

Just got mine from Amazon. Taking it out today. You did great!

[@eisvogel8099]

I really couldn't wait to see you to get into the boat....a small step for a man, a giant leap....

[@windhamcabin]

Haha, that was quite funny :) your Mrs was have a good laugh at you. Seemed to float very high in the water. Kayaking is one of my favorite summer activities. Hope you enjoy it! Take care -Chris

[@BrummiePrepper]

Windham Woodcraft yes we had a laugh. arms ached later though

Hi nice canoe mate,I have the older blue one,Prepped Nomad is spot on,especially on a hot day,but even in normally cool weather the air being forced into the canoe is heated up,Fit a piece of rope to the front and once pumped up place it in the water and tie it up while you do the seats etc,then top it up to pressue..The rope is also handy if you fall in you just grab it and walk or swim in..I had the same issue with the seat too paddling solo,what i did was use a canvas strap connected to the handles to give a little knees bent purchase and push me back into the seat or you can buy a hi back seat,stay safe and enjoy...

These are awesome craft, fit in any car and get you on the water minimum of fuss. Used mine with whole family of 2 adults and 2 children in Norwegian lakes. Paddled it for miles and had a great time. Would not hesitate to buy the new Madison model.

[@BrummiePrepper]

+gav franc Will check that out , thanks for watching

[@chv72]

Once you got the hold of it, you were doing great! Looks like a pretty good water craft!

[@colonelchimp]

oh mate your misses laughing and you looking petrified made that a one ion a million video hahaha, cheers dave

[@BrummiePrepper]

Colonelchimp, Bushcraft, Survival and Prepping thanks just din't want to fall in see you soon

[@incawarrior68]

Great video guys. 4:15-5:15 I actually wept, laughing. Nice one.

[@jasonrichardsonAkagrizzlyAdams]

Love the feel out on the water mate, nothing like it, I had the two person Colorado a few years back now very stable even in the sea but could never get on with the seat, no mater what I did I just couldn't get the support there, maybe best thing is to ditch the seat and kneel down with the one paddle, hopefully see you soon mate Atb jason

[@kimgeorge8840]

Nice video.. your wife makes me laugh! You need a Skeg so you have more control. it will help a lot when it is windy or a current. Makes it much easier to handle.

[@Roberto-is7hm]

Amico non l'hai gonfiato abbastanza! era sgonfio! ;-)

[@TruckeeSlusher]

Paid $550 for the canoe. We use it 3-5 times a year. At two years old the main side bladder blew a 4 inch hole in the seam while drying in the garage (in Tahoe so it's not blistering heat by any means). Sevylor now Coleman doesn't sell or have any help for a replacement bladder??? It's a $500 inflatable device and the seam separated!!! Spoke with Tony the manager at Coleman today and while nice he has nothing to offer but a 35% discount on a new canoe? So I have a $550 disposable kayak...NICE for the consumer and the landfills.Loved it before this however, I would NEVER recommend a Sevylor product again because of this policy. Shame on you Coleman!

[@BrummiePrepper]

Thats terrible Charles, thanks for the update on Sevylor

[@thisgreatadventure893]

[@Bugoutvehiclesuk]

Spot on mate.

[@BrummiePrepper]

Torn Apart self sufficiency cheers, mrs only came along cause she thought she was going to get some money from you've been framed.. def thought i was going in at one point

[@Bugoutvehiclesuk]

hahahaha

[@gavfranc]

Forgot to mention, use paddle behind back with end on bank/shore to stabalise craft then press on it and push your self out.

[@BrummiePrepper]

+gav franc Cheers for the tip..As you can see by the vid its been many , many years since I was in any sort of canoe/ kayak

[@tranquility9325]

Did you mean to feather your paddles? Feathering is where you have one blade that is twisted slightly, in case of windy conditions so that one blade can slice through the air. Not sure if you meant to do that. Also, your supposed to get low in your boat, and put your bum in there as soon as you can, then put the other leg in. You don't get in on your knees, unless you plan on swimming instead lol. I watched vids on how to get in and out of a Kayak, but most vids don't discuss inflatables. You got out of it a lot easier than when you got in lol.

[@cancerfour69er]

Do you ever travel as far as fort William glen Nevis campsite..I work there..

[@BrummiePrepper]

Would love to visit Fort William - let me know details of the site David -ATB Steve

It is maddening to have the music blast out my ears and then when you talk it’s too low so have to turn volume back up. Please adjust your volume for the listener.

Thanks mate Nice Lilo you've got there. I'll have to give you a race once you know what you're doing eh?? Whereabouts are them caves, looks like an interesting spot?? Cheers Griff Be Water My Friend UTV

[@BrummiePrepper]

Grifftinderpals Don't know about a race, I'll need to put a motor in it first...lol... Would put a v8 in but think it would sink :) Caves are in Wolverley , but all of the Kinver Edge has this sort of caves - some have been turned into a museum sort of thing - an interesting visit if you get the chance to walk round the area
