What's in my Fishing PFD- NRS Chinook

[@chriscaluori3102]

Awesome video.... the topic of the ID and health insurance card was awesome and an excellent idea that I will be utilizing from now on. Thank you

[@ch33kz]

Love your rundown on your pfd and your sense of humor. Humor should be put into more videos it makes educating videos more entertaining. Great setup and ideas. Very helpful to beginners like myself. Thank you.

[@suhwateezea.214]

Yeah it was a good video. He has me laughing a couple times

[@knotafrayedkayakadventures1383]

As a paramedic, I whole heartedly appreciate the idea of having your “pocket of doom”. I literally just went out and put an ID card with medical info along with my fishing license in that pocket. I’m honestly thinking about getting a patch or something to put on that pocket to signify “hey. Look here for info”.

[@co277]

The dark turn was nice to see it's being talked about;) education is key

[@mikemcgeehan4321]

Nice job! One of the best I’ve viewed on this subject.

[@YakFishChris]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@zeebaitco9928]

A great review of the Chinook! Trust ours with our life literally! One of if not the best PFD and most comfy! Keep up the breakdowns and reviews!

[@daviddavis5189]

Great job thanks for the Safety tip for having ID In the vest

[@geneglavin5709]

Thanks very much. I’m new to kayak fishing and my new PFD. Thanks for the great ideas re: what to put what

[@HarlyGuy13]

Dude you rock. Enjoy your humor and great content. Think I’ll mash the like & sub now! #teachmehow

[@MrPhoenix1800]

That messy garage is driving me crazy! Just ordered the pfd thanks for the review

[@daviddevine1757]

That was a dark turn i was lighting candles 😅 great vid I've that pfd under the tree 😢 can't wait to use it. Cheers, "for the vid not the pfd under the tree"🤣

[@chriscasa918]

Good review, like the I.D. idea, thanks

[@halanfones9345]

first time to your site nice video.

[@lolojourney80]

2 questions What phone case is that? I like that idea of have it in my chinook pocket. What are the lines your snips and surgical pliers are connected to?

[@TheWimmTrain]

Nice video. Love my Anglers Nation hoodie. That's my home shop

[@TheMittchellhansen]

Thanks Chris your video has been super helpful, was wondering though on how you attached the lanyard to your cellphone?

[@YakFishChris]

The lifeproof case I use has a small slot for the attachment. Then I attach the other end to the vest.

[@MattHayesRVA]

Like someone else mentioned, would love to know what tethers/leashes those are. Great vid! Just bought a Chinook myself.

[@YakFishChris]

Matt Hayes I use rogue fishing now for all my feather and leash options. Check them out!

[@MattHayesRVA]

@@YakFishChris Awesome, thanks!

[@ferchofishing]

That is a nice PFD not to bulky great review man👍🏻

[@Craig-AC]

thank you for being entertaining!

[@kayakkendrick1461]

do you plan on upgrading to the 2019?

[@AlwaysDown247]

It definitely looks dope!!👊🏽😎

[@drl453]

What’s the difference in the new model? And what’s the OS version

[@calebcoysongs]

Wish I could find the 2018 model somewhere, because it's black.

[@AfroBassin]

great review!

[@suhwateezea.214]

I wonder how this life jacket will fit me. My chest is about half of yours lol. All jokes aside I am actually probably going to REI to scoop one today. Do you think this vest would be comfortable with a Hobie Outback seat?

[@YakFishChris]

Not too sure but it’s not bad with my nucanoe pinnacle seat, the hobie PA14 dear and the old town predator seats!

[@suhwateezea.214]

@@YakFishChris Thanks! Also you have great content so I'll keep tuning in

[@YakFishChris]

Appreciate that!

[@S1avk0]

Just found your channel a week or so ago. Great channel!👍. If you could find a way to lock your focus though it would be awesome 👍

[@YakFishChris]

Thanks for the tip!

[@hartzogLovesScience]

You are the first commentator who stated that it is difficult to insert the NRS knife into the attachment. I just received an NRS Chinook OS. I’m sending back because 1) my iPhone 6 only fits into two pockets, one being a very tight fit. I use an Otter case for my phones. 2) the 3 pockets, as stated in the prior comment, are extremely small. I don’t see being able to carry much. 3) I cannot insert my NRS pilot knife into the attachment. You alluded to this in this post. I find the slit width equals the clip’s width. That’s jus poor design! Just my two cent. I’m sending the PDF back

[@YakFishChris]

I am not associated with NRS at all. Sorry to hear about those issues. I’d look at rogue fishing and get a protector tether for an added layer of protection for your phone. As for the lash and your knife, I believe NRS has a video of how to do it on their website. I used a butter knife to help guide it through the lash.

[@hartzogLovesScience]

YakFish Chris I must apologize for unloading. It was undignified of me. You did give a real and honest commentary of what works for you in your pdf, which gave me insight of what I should look for in my pdf. Again, I apologize!

[@YakFishChris]

No big deal! I just wanted to give you an answer that might help! Hope it did!

[@lhez]

Will that PFD keep your head out of the water? I have the same one but never tried. Great video, thanks for the ID tip.

[@YakFishChris]

Yes it will! I’ve tested on purpose and not on purpose. Head above water after initial plunge!

[@stephensodergren1825]

nice garage, now I don't feel so bad about mine :) good vid keep paddling

[@scattrr]

No music would be better than whatever that was...

[@GrogDC1]

I appreciate the enthusiasm and passion, but you need a new camera person--not sure why they are constantly trying to get you into focus when your distance from the camera is fixed.

[@YakFishChris]

Thanks. I’ll be sure to tell my mom she sucks and she’s fired.

[@hartzogLovesScience]

Why would you carry your knife pointed at your face. I know the tip is blunt, it for me that is purely unsafe.

[@YakFishChris]

That’s actually the proper way. When you are in a situation where you need to deploy the knife, it is already properly in your hand vs having to flip it. Seconds matter in life or death situations. Trust me, I’ve needed this knife on more than one occasion to cut away anchor lines quickly, and fumbling with it would have cost me a lot of gear or my safety.

[@troysnell]

The music should have faded out after the intro. Couldn't focus on the review. Great video otherwise.

[@YakFishChris]

Thanks for the tip!

[@reneholmes8016]

Agree...music was loud and distracts from content.

[@YakFishChris]

Yea, I agree too. Someone should tell this guy.

[@ch33kz]

I like the music in the background, not distracting at all. It's a nice touch.

[@heazy87]

why would you get knocked out on your boat? lol just wear your wallet?

[@YakFishChris]

What if a boat hits you at full speed? Or you fall and hit your head? Hmm I don’t know.

[@garrettgincley9739]

heazy87 plenty of ways that can and have happened to kayak anglers. Unless of course you’re one of the pond fisherman. Put down the Call of Duty sticks and get out there and you’ll see it for yourself. Your 6 subscribers can wait until you get back...
