That's like an extremely low budget cruise.
Holy mackerel!

Helps keep your feet warm.
That's a clip from Flaherty's 1922 documentary film, 'Nanook of the North'. The whole thing is definitely worth a watch. It's available on youtube.
I'd definitely prefer George Dyson's giant, family size "baidarka".
I like his polar bear pants. Could have had a pair made for me, but didn't have 18 grand to spare.
i wonder what brand of PFD they are wearing?

When my older daughter was 5 (she's 45 now), she watched Nanook of the North with me when I showed it to a group. She was so taken by it that she wanted to replicate it. I still have the old Phoenix "Isere" touring kayak that is pretty much see-through fiberglass. She grabbed a book, her favorite stuff animal, put on her red "Little Slugger" ball cap and climbed into the bow end of the kayak. I slid into the cockpit and we spent the next half hour together on our pond; me paddling and her giggling below decks. It was a blast!
That's all for now. Take care and until next time...be well.

I think their clothes are very buoyant. I was talking with an Inupiat whale hunter a couple years ago and he told me a story where ten men went in the water when their boats capsized. None of them knew how to swim and none had PFDs, but they all survived. Their parkas are typically made from caribou hides and they have hollow hair.
