    I ordered a kayak from Razor Kayaks, which was supposed to be delivered within 2-4 business days according to their website. However, 25 days have passed, and I still haven’t received anything. I refused the delivery due to a damaged package, and since then, the parcel has been stuck with the courier. Despite multiple inquiries, I have received neither a replacement nor a refund. The delays and lack of communication are disappointing. I cannot recommend this company.

    AE Explorer Elite, had my experiences with it - could carry my weight 300lb, was bending in - skin delaminated underneath, got a warranty replacement - takes a looong time to dry, especially from salt water it needs a solid freshwater shower. Saltwater attracts moisture and drys less quick. So over all … get a simpler drop stitch kayak, where its shape gets you speed and not looks and fuzz Sea Eagle razorlite or tge Razor kayaks x1

    When you are older weight is critical…..I recommend a Z packs 2 person tent at 500 gms. I recommend their backpacks as well. With the tent and backpack you’ll save 4kg. That’s huge!

    Tbh any 3x3 tarp and cheap rope does you. Apex it close 1 end off. Use your boot heel to make gutters to direct run off if raining.. cheap ass ground sheet your set. One end open sleeping bag even in like 4°c you're fine. I been sleeping like that for decades since a teen. Started with hootchies and its fine. Disposals store, go grab a ex aust army mozzie net sew the odd hole shut. Citranella tea light in a cup bit of water in case it gets knocked over youre good to go. Cheap ass groundsheet if you must and your under $120 if you shop carefully 150 average. Dont need tent poles just 30m of hootchie cord plenty trees keep away from the big ones camp near saplings. Im using mostly ex mil crap from the 90s. Made a few purchases titaniam and alloy dixies a cheap anoconda down bag an old Brit bivi bag for winter. Come in way light allows me to steak and 3 veg on a 2 day night hike 15kg

    Would have been good in you had included the Kings 360 inflatable kayak. It has some very solid features for the price, one of the highest psi kayaks around. I am curious if their low price reflects value or not.

      The problem with Kings gear is that they won't stand behind their warranties. All of their stuff is cheaply made and eventually falls apart.

    Why would you test the BlackWolf Wasp instead of the Mantis or Grasshopper which are substantially more comparable to the other tents in support, weight, same low price at most retailers & also uses a typically more expensive silicone waterproofing. Is it just to make the others look better at double the price?

    The vast majority of camping gear sold in Australia is geared toward car campers who don't have to take weight into consideration, and when you do find some tiny specialist store selling niche ultralight gear of a high quality (eg. Paddy Pallin), they're charging almost double what you'd pay in a retail store in North America or Europe, even with their horrendous 20% VAT... Most serious Aussie hikers buy their stuff online from overseas to avoid the absolute price gouging we cop in our brick and mortar stores. Almost the entirety of my Tasmanian Tiger Modular Trooper Pack (not available in store anywhere in Australia) is filled with gear that either cannot be obtained in a physical store here in Australia, or if it is, it's WAAAY overpriced, like, I'm talking a price tag of $1,000 AUD for something the Americans pay $600-700 AUD for... The sad reality is that Australia is an incredible place to go hiking, yet most people who might have become a regular hiker are put off by the obscene prices for gear here, starting with tents from anywhere other than Kmart...

    • @MrBerry67
      @MrBerry67 ปีที่แล้ว

      very true - my new tent is currently on its way from the UK to Sydney. The other problem buying in Australia is that nearly all tents are made in China - which is simply not acceptable to me.

      @Syulang-nt4kj 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Agreed. I've done some hiking in Europe and the culture is very different. Here our outdoors scene is *very* much geared to 4WD/car camping and the idea of multiday hikes isn't something our suppliers seem to think about.
