Survival UK Forums

I have a similar 2 person kayak. That one has a better colour scheme than mine. I live on a harbour, so in effect I have a several thousand gallon paddling pool in my front garden. We use it on that as the harbour waters are usually calm, but I wouldn't use it for real sea kayaking. I find it quite hard to manoeuvre but that could be more about my technique. I'm Ok in a traditional row boat but I find I'm battling to go in straight line in that. I haven't had much practice though.
I also have a 4 man motor dingy, that is about the minimum I would use for any survival purposes. But for fun and £40 that Kayak looks to be a good deal, if you have the right place to use it.

wouldnt eat much space in the bov and if you ended up by a lake i find it easier to get out and catch fish ??
