Pack Up and Kayak

What could possibly be better than hiking or kayaking? Hiking and kayaking.

While the premise might sound ridiculous unless done in distinct stages, Folbot Inc. is doing its best to make combining the two as effortless as possible. The company's unique line of folding kayaks are all designed to fit into a bag and be easily transportable, making them ideal for travel.

Now, the idea of heading out on a "hiking and fishing trip" could just as easily be a "hiking and kayaking trip." Folbot's range of kayaks can accommodate a number of different body types and activities, ranging from recreational outings to expeditions, and all of them fold up and fit into a bag for easy transport.

Gearjunkie.com has a great write-up of Folbot's Cooper kayak, a 16'6" long day-touring kayak that only weights 39 pounds and can fold into a backpack: Full-Size Kayak folds up, Fits in Backpack

With that kind of mobility, a half-day hike coupled with a half-day paddle is certainly not out of the question!
