Thanks for the video. When you drilled the gunwales for the "p"clips, Esquif has a strengthening rib inside the gunwale. Which side of the rib did you drill? I don't want to drill right in the centre where that rib is, as it might effect the rivet not setting properly. Thanks .

Nice video well done. Next time you put skid plates on a canoe you need more resin soaking into the Kevlar Matting otherwise they will eventually crack and fall apart as they hit a hard surface. Air pockets in the matting will do that.

They are fully saturated. About 4000km later I have worn far enough through in a few spots to tell for sure 😂 Probably going to try Dynel next time.

I wouldn’t call them overly elaborate haha I usually just use some warm water and a pine cone or moss to scrub the pot or pan out.

I have the exact same boat and wanted to thank you for giving me the confidence to install my float bags..anyhow in case you didn't notice (forgive my lack of proper canoe terms) the black "decking" at each end of the boat has two screws that go through the wooden support..those screw ends are kind of sharp and could puncture a float bag.. I just screwed acorn nuts on the exposed end and problem solved.

@jasonbayens 8 ай бұрын

Glad it helped with outfitting your boat! That’s a good solution to that issue. Mine came with rubber caps on them but the acorn nuts might be a better solution. Happy paddling!

I just bought the same boat and have been researching float bag installs. Is there a reason you went with the clips instead of drilling the hull? It seems like holes are dirt simple, but the clips could pull out. Im a novice, so these are just questions.. thanks

Hey Jason, I was just watching Tosh’s latest video and I noticed the frying pan you were using. It intrigued me because I’m a gearaholic. I watched closely to see what you were using and then I rewatched this video for any more details. The best I can figure is that it’s a 12(?) inch T-fal that you removed/modified the handle on? If you’re so inclined, would you give me specifics on the pan and details of the handle modifications you did to it please? Thanks. I really enjoy your videos 👍🏻

@jasonbayens Жыл бұрын

You nailed it. 12” aluminum T-fal with the handle removed so it fits nicely in my food barrel or the bottom of a pack/drybag. I just use a standard old pot lifter for moving it around.
