If it is the Alastair Humphreys video, he uses pack rafts - like rubber dingies but for adventure.

How about an inflatable brompton? You wouldn't need the canoe then.

Pretty sure I remember an amphibious LEJOG a few years ago - not on Bromptons though, they used the Italian Shuttle-Bike kit - attaches to a normal bike and folds up into a backpack.
