Hello, my friend Thank you for the great video. I love your channel! Have a happy day.👍🏼

[@OpenAirOutdoors]

Thanks for the visit CBW can't wait to see your next production✌️

[@flynorthproductions]

Excellent reviews Marc. You certainly don't pull your punches when it comes to cheap paddles! 😄

[@OpenAirOutdoors]

Well you know after a certain age we deserve a bit of luxury 😉 Thanks Daryl✌️

[@RobinLauer]

Well done, lots of good information. I like ash beavertail paddles, a guy here in Maine named John Porter from Patten, Maine makes them. His dad started making them many years ago, a good quality paddle at a reasonable price. I have some original Chestnut paddles, clunky with a so so handle but I like their canoes so I give them a pass on paddles. I agree with your take on kayak paddles.

[@OpenAirOutdoors]

John Porter is very respected! Wow I would love to get my hands on an original Chestnut paddle, that's awesome👍 Not to many years ago I use to paddle and moose hunt out of a 18' Chestnut freighter. What a great canoe that was! I love the grain in ash but I love the colour of black walnut, so many choices 😂 Thanks for coming out Robin✌️

[@NickleJ]

I don't claim to be an expert, I've only made a handful of paddles my self, but this jives exactly with my own thoughts. Great video, few like it on yt

[@OpenAirOutdoors]

Thanks Nickle! I don't claim expert ether, just pick up a few things along the way and I have my preferences👍 Thanks for coming out and happy paddling✌️

[@TimintheBackwoods]

Another great video Marc !! You seriously have a knack when it comes to the information/education videos !! You most certainly filled in a lot of the blanks for me with regard to the Beaver and Otter. Thanks for sharing your knowledge !! Cheers 👍👍🌲🌲🌲🇨🇦🍻

[@OpenAirOutdoors]

Hey I'm happy you got something out of it Tim. And they also make good kindling wood as well😂 Take care buddy✌️

[@LewisMowersandBoats]

Well done very nice 👏 👍

[@FatpackingSmitty]

I'm amazingly ignorant about paddles. Thank you for the video!

[@OpenAirOutdoors]

HAHA! That's funny but hey as long as you found it interesting 👍 Take care Smitty, thanks for coming out✌️

[@EverydayProjects]

Really honest and detailed review of different paddles and their pros and cons. I learned a lot from this short video. That custom paddle with the oil finish and ergonomic grip is so much better especially when compared to the manufactured paddles you show early in the video. I like your humour when you said that the cheap, spare paddle bends like a Slinky, haha. That custom, fracto-burn pattern on the last paddle, looks like it could be the outline of a lake somewhere. Now your challenge this summer is to find and paddle the lake that matches that pattern. I'd write more but the French Fries are ready....now where's my spoon?

[@OpenAirOutdoors]

You're right that does look like it could be a lake moped out! Maybe a future custom paddle with "Secret Lake" 😆 And a straw for the gravy on those fries🤣 Take care Craig✌️

[@PinetreeLine]

Very interesting information Marc! I’ve always wondered about all the differences. I find it strange that people think I’m weird eating French fries with a spoon 😉. Thanks Brother! 🍻

[@OpenAirOutdoors]

Don't worry about what people think, as long as you know your weird 😂 Thanks Doug🍻

[@OpenAirAdventure]

Hey Marc. Well i now know more about paddles than i ever did, thank you. And now I miss my kayak more than ever, I have to get out soon haha. And i love the french fry and spoon logic, very clever. Catch ya on the next one, Kenny

[@OpenAirOutdoors]

Hey don't waste any time get that kayak in the water! Its good for the soul👍 Thanks Kenny✌️

[@jbolf6]

Once again Marc I learned a lot about something I did not know. Thanks for sharing this video

[@OpenAirOutdoors]

Hey thanks for watching John I always appreciate you coming around✌️

[@TheBeardedCarpenter]

Howdy Marc- what an interesting video! This was a very informative video of the different paddles. I remember watching the video when you had the black walnut paddle made by your friend. God bless

[@OpenAirOutdoors]

Just like you he's quite the craftsman! He has made me another since then and it is top notch as well! Thanks for coming out Paul✌️

[@LewisMowersandBoats]

The 🐕 almost left without ya 😂😂😂😂 buddy I'm enjoying your show brother 😀

[@OpenAirOutdoors]

HAHA! Lexy is always making sure sh'e not left behind! Thanks Lewis is great having you around👍

[@maninthewoods]

[@OpenAirOutdoors]

[@maninthewoods]

@@OpenAirOutdoors was out last weekend and got into some brookies. My son and I camped on crown land

[@NikonF5user]

Nice Haliburton Forest paddle! I just got one two weeks ago - still letting it oil up but cannot wait to paddle it!!!

[@OpenAirOutdoors]

Awesome! They are quite nice aren't they! Thanks for tuning in Russel✌️

[@remoteandrestless]

great video. I just blindly built the paddles for my strip canoe according to Gilpatricks specifications. Never even occurred to me that there is a lot of different designs out there with different functionalities.

[@OpenAirOutdoors]

Hey thanks! Trying and testing different paddles is part of the fun omit all! Ill be sure to go see what you have going on and check out your paddle👍 Thank for coming along✌️

[@remoteandrestless]

@@OpenAirOutdoors Can't wait to see more of your content

[@GrampiesWorkshop]

How's she goin'? Nice review of the various types of paddles there Marc!! Thanks. Some good info. Take care!!

[@OpenAirOutdoors]

Hey Mike maybe you can carve me up a paddle with all those downed trees at your place 😂 Take care Mike✌️

[@SteveRobReviews]

I had no idea what kind of paddle I had back in the day , canadian tire $6.99 😂😅

[@OpenAirOutdoors]

HAHA! Those days are gone Steve! thanks buddy✌️

[@NikonF5user]

Eat french fries with a spoon! 😂😂😂

[@OpenAirOutdoors]

You know sometimes it can be challenging putting your point across without insulting some folks 😂
