Inflatable Canoes

In cold waters, we should buy the cheapest piece of plastic crap to save us a few dollars and die freezing WHEN, not if, it pops so the kids will have no daddy and get the insurance money, if any. Isn't all this about seeing how damned cheap and stupid we can be? Same idea as the $8 PFD, right? It is not cold that is critical but heat. I have used a variety of inflatables in very cold water and none have ever failed me. But leave one without high pressure release valves in the sun on a hot day and you'll get a PVC blanket. |
