Man, that water looks cold!! I would like to better understand the water evacuation technique. I have a wood kayak. I wonder if this technique could be applied to a wood kayak?

Very nice video. What about if the kayak is heavy because of things and can not be lifted?

Sort of reminded me of Les Stroud. Not sure if it's your looks, voice, or just how you explained everything thoroughly, but I was taken back to my Survivorman binges haha. Great video! Very well explained and not rushed.

Show this in a serious chop with wind blowing. Unless you paddle in a pool this demo is not very realistic.

Avoiding having to get back in seems like the best persuasion for perfecting your Eskimo rolls, even with other boats to raft up to getting back in in ‘a chop’ is never easy!

Explorer Mike - 6 years ago

Point taken, but it would not be a very good instructional video if it was done in rough chop. Better idea is to watch this video, then practice it yourself in rough chop.

You don't learn anything from that, it would be hard for him to explain the stages and give a proper tutorial of what to do, show things in slow paces so that people can practice them in safe environment. This is not a showcase of his skills like it would be some survival show. It is a video that teaches a method which you can practice and apply in bad conditions if it is the only and best one available.

Most training is done in a controlled environment simply to show the techniques, but every situation varies. What isn't realistic is that 95% of those watching wont have his exact boat, dry suit, PFD, paddle, haircut, and underwear. So realistic is up to interpretation. The idea that he took the time to address some tips is amazing. IF you have realistic versions you would like to share I'm sure everyone would love to see. Cheers!

The aim of this demo is to show you what you can practice in calm waters. These are excellent skills to have. In serious chop, ideally you can count on some buddy assistance. Such rescue is never perfect due to waves and would not be so clear to us what you should do. I always set for a trip, but am aware I should be setting more just for practice. Rainy calm days are ideal for that. Typical days when you think you should stay inside the house, hahaha.
