Of course, the Wilderness Medicine Society gives us information on how to treat blood-sugar emergencies when we're not sure if it's too high or too low. STILL, having a Glucometer tells us which one it is. More information is always better.

Scott, keep it up!

Keep up the good work 💪

Being squished is not oil canning! Oil canning is when your boat’s bottom flexes excessively when you are in the kayak, which is generally due to age of the boat, or the boat’s bottom being too thin when made. What straps and heavy restriction on your boat due, when your hauling it, causes a collapsing, or distortion of your boat due to the compression of the straps or other means you are using to secure it. In extreme causes, especially during the hot summer months, this compression may permanently damage your boat, possibly making it unusable!

I’m gonna try this with my kayak! Thank you for sharing!!

Thats not a rescue. That is reentering. Kayakers need to stop using the word rescue. Knowing how to reenter a flooded boat on calm water with a floaty builds a false sense of security. Rescuing removes you from the circumstances that caused the need to be rescued. You are now back in the same circumstances only now you are wet, possibly cold or freezing, tired, the cockpit is full of water and you are scared because what if it happens again while you pump the boat. Nice form though.

I wish you’d have emphasized that rotation should occur at the hips. The torso should rotate along with the hips. I prefer the hands neither push nor pull. All power is derived by driving the blade into the water, then the rotation of the hips and body are what drives the paddle.

Steering strokes do work but IMO are a waste of energy for other than severe maneuvers. Simple weight shifts handle most any maneuver.

Quick and to the point! This will be great for beginners.

Thanks! I’m going to give this a try. I just got a kayak and want to be able to load it by myself on my Subaru.

I wonder if that would work for a canoe.

What is the item at 2:51 that he keeps in his dry-suit pocket? The auto transcript says "inre".

What make and model are the carry bars the kayak sits in?

Hope to take this class soon

I guess I also made a video on how to use toilet paper?

Great and explanatory video, you made it look super easy and simple. How long is your kayak, and how long is your car? I'm curious because I'm considering about buying touring kayak (505cm) and my car is just a bit shy of that length (496cm) from start to end.....so not sure if I should look for a smaller kayak or a bigger car :)

You only need one strap. Just pass it through both legs and not one.

I'm a 60 kg retiree, so not particularlty strong. I just carry my 17 ft sea kayak to the water on my shoulter, or lift it overhead onto my roof racks. I don't need any carts or assistance, because my kayaks are glass laminate, not rotomoulded PE & as they were made in the 70s, not grossly over built. For some reason I find unfathomable, kayaks have continued to get heavier & more rediculously expensive over the last half century or so & yet people still buy the darn burdonsom things. Why strap these millstones around your necks........

A very good job. Nice and easy.

💯 *promosm*

You made that look really easy. What is the weight of your boat?

I'm 67 years old. Born and raised in Tennessee and fished with my grandfather and father on the Nolichucky River most of my growing up years. I can tell you right now, you are misinformed and spewing out false information to the public about your minimal knowledge of trotlines. You better go back and research more. This is mostly bulls**t. Until all these "white water" and other groups wanting to make money off people, there was never an issue. A real trotline is tied at each end, anchored to the bottom, and monitored all the time by the setter. The people who don't know much about trotlines, set them carelessly and do not remove them after the fishing trip. If a person is law abiding and respects fish and game, they retrieve the lines before going home. I have encountered many "white water" fools searching diligently for any fisherman's lines and cutting them, just so they can say "hey, look at me. I cut the lines of those assholes". It's the river rafting outfits that give trotline fishing a bad rap. So screw your evaluation. I was trotline fishing with my grandfather in a Model T Ford long before you and your safety sissies came along. And also, for your information, most trotline fishermen fish at night. There's no damn idiots floating the river at that time. And furthermore, trotlines aren't meant to be set in shallow water like your little stream there. Catfish are deep. They move slowly searching for food on the bottom.

Trotlines don't need to stretch across. They can easily go down the bank and catch fish, too. I do think they should be used, just more responsibly. Fisherfolk know where tubers and kayakers frequent, and vice versa. We can all enjoy the river at the right times for the right reasons. God bless.

If they are visible during daylight hours from April 1 to October they are in violation. They can only be used from dusk till dawn. Cut the lines and keep safe

I have done multi-day canoe trips with friends on the rivers of southern Georgia and northern Florida in late March/early April. Another trotline style I've seen on those trips is just a dropper-line tied to a branch extending above the water. At that time of year, they are obviously untended since they typically have collected sticks and moss. Sometimes they have a bit of survey ribbon or a beer-can shiner to help highlight them, sometimes not. If they are close to where we are paddling in the river channel, I cut the line above the water and collect the hook so we (and others) won't get snagged.

Very informative video, Scott. Thank you for looking out for the thousands of recreational rafters, boaters and tubers that visit the Nolichucki River each year.

Very well presented. Hopefully this will make a difference!

Trotlines: I want to catch fish, but I’m too lazy to actually fish.

That looked amazing, I hope to participate soon!
