In this video I took my Costco Pelican Mission 100 kayak to the lake and performed a full stability test on it and found out how stable are the 10 feet sit-in kayaks. I also explained how I re-enter this kayak in both shallow and deep water.
In addition, our little kitten ZuZu went swimming for the first time in her life at the end of this video. haha.

Thank you for the video regarding many aspects of kayak entry and flooding. You addressed all the questions I had considered and now I know.

@LuRanOutdoors 2 года назад

You are very welcome! Glad you found it helpful. Thanks for watching and commenting. Happy paddling! :)

@matthewcurry425 2 года назад

Thanks for this great demonstration! Foam, milk jugs, or pool noodles are highly recommended. And a bailing pump. I’m watching Costco for a markdown sale on one of these. Looking forward to doing some of those fishing mods. Good times!

Thanks for watching and commenting! Glad you found it useful! Hope you are able to get a good deal on one. You will be happy with this kayak, it's pretty great for the price!! :)

I used to have that kayak. It was good, but I think I was a little too tall for it. (6'3) and my feet were crunched in the end. But the Pelican was a good fun kayak. I used it for several years.

@LuRanOutdoors 2 месяца назад

Oh righton! Yeah you are pretty tall for the 10ft kayak.. haha. But yeah it is a very handy little kayak to get you out on the water!!

@Star-vg7ix Год назад

Swimming cat!!! Wow!

@LuRanOutdoors Год назад

Hahaha 😁😁

@JEFF2EARTH Год назад

Thank you! I really wondered whether the Pelican 'sit in' would sink.. Got a cheap bilge pump, so I'm not scared to go far from shore now. lol

@LuRanOutdoors Год назад

Not a problem Jeffrey!! Thanks for watching and commenting. Stay safe out there!! :)

No actual animals were harmed during the making of this video.

@LuRanOutdoors 2 года назад

Haha nope... this is a vegan friendly video!!! Would you like me to make more videos like this over fishing and hunting?

@umonkee 2 года назад

Amazing how many people remove those foam pieces thinking they are for shipping purposes, without that foam these kayaks definitely will sink to the boat.

@LuRanOutdoors 2 года назад

Absolutely!!! Those foam pieces are so important!!! I might even add some to my kayak to make it more buoyant!

@issacidowatheveriwant3039 3 года назад

If you alone is difficult but if somebody do kayaking only need to help take the kayak holding hard and you can in easy like your video

THE CAT!!!

@LuRanOutdoors 2 года назад

Hahaha our adventure cat. :P

@Star-vg7ix Год назад

Yeah, amazing!!

@LuRanOutdoors Год назад

Haha. Thank you!!! :)

@AnglingSpiders 3 года назад

Great video. Still not looking forward to this. The key, don't flip your kayak, lol. Also agree that you need to stay close to shore. We always have a bucket along.

@LuRanOutdoors 3 года назад

Hahahaha thank you!!! Yeah getting wet initially won't be the most fun thing to do. But after you are already soaked it is actually pretty fun. Haha. Only if it's hit enough out tho. Yeah I should also carry a bucket along, it might just become very handy one day. Especially when there's lots of inconsiderate boater around. Looking forward to your kayak flip video!! Haha

@jakedrago7805 2 года назад

Always have a bilge pump and air bags in bow and stern ( if your boat doesn’t have a bulkhead)

@rodneypantony3551 3 года назад

Nice spot in a heat wave.

@LuRanOutdoors 3 года назад

Haha yeah!!! Nice to be at the lake when it was so hot out!!

@anthonycontrer 2 года назад

If you can touch, wouldn’t it be easier to walk to shore and get back in that way?

@LuRanOutdoors 2 года назад

That would be ideal if you can get up onto shore!! But a lot of places have steep banks or banks covered by vegetation where it's impossible to walk up nevertheless pulling a kayak up. But if you can find a nice access it would be way easier to just get on shore! :)

@LuRanOutdoors 2 года назад

But once you can touch, whatever you do it's going to be a lot easier than when you cannot touch. So moral of the story is that don't go too far away from shore with this types of kayaks.:)

@bob1323 3 года назад

You should do a trout fishing video.

@LuRanOutdoors 3 года назад

Yep that's in the plans!!! I actually tried a couple of weeks ago at Narrow Hills Provincial Park. But it was so hot out all the trout was fairly deep and I didn't have much luck. But I will be attempting to catch them again.

@LuRanOutdoors 3 года назад

I also did a bass fishing trip at boundary recently too. So I'll make a video of that too. Maybe you can give me some bass fishing tips after that. Hahaha

@LuRanOutdoors 3 года назад

My goal is to catch every game fish species on Saskatchewan! Haha

@Sampson_503 3 года назад

Take your paddle apart and shovel water out too :)

@LuRanOutdoors 3 года назад

Nice!! That's a great idea!! Thanks!!

@jakedrago7805 2 года назад

It’s easier to enter from back in deep water

@LuRanOutdoors 2 года назад

I tried that too. You can see in the video. But my kayak could not hold my weight when entered from back.

@LuRanOutdoors 2 года назад

But I'm glad that you tried it in person and was able to find what works best for you. Cudos for being prepared for worst case scenario!!

@jakedrago7805 2 года назад

Did you have float bags ( or a bulkhead) in that yak it makes reentry and bailing out water much easier?

@LuRanOutdoors 2 года назад

@@jakedrago7805 it came with foam blocks on both sides of the seat. But I don't have additional float bags. However entering from the front works pretty good for me without any additional float bags. That's a good idea tho.
