I meant to ask how you set up your hood anchors? Most folks use webbing but I noticed you used 6 mm line…how did you anchor the ends under the hood? Thanks!
@EbsAdventure 7 ай бұрын
@boatman222345 we usually use webbed hood loops, either attached to a section of PVC pipe that tucks under an edge or with a grommet that attaches to an existing bolt on the frame. On this vehicle we simply have a short rope loop that wraps around something metal under the hood.

I have the exact same Delta kayak, and a very similar cart. I love this boat but my problem with getting it solidly on the cart is that it has such a long keel on the bottom that it doesn't sit flat on the cart, and tilts to the side no matter how much you tighten it up. Is there a solution for that ?
@EbsAdventure Жыл бұрын
Hi Sheryl, you can try putting the cart farther up the hull on the boat where the hull is flatter. This placement also makes for a good strapping point as you can put the straps around the coaming of the cockpit to keep the kayak in place. Keep in mind that you can't lift the end as high when you're pulling it or the other end will drag. You could also try putting the kayak on upside down and see if that helps at all. Some carts are open in the middle (for example the C-TUG kayak/canoe cart) which prevents this whole issue from happening in the first place. Hope this helps!

@@EbsAdventure Thank you. I never thought of trying it upside down. I have tried putting it more to the flatter center, but it was more awkward to lift and pull it

That’s pretty cool we have basically the same one but we have two of them and I just use two bungees on each side just to hold them together so that they don’t bunch up and with the Middle of the kayak or canoe been the whitest with the two bungees on the wheels it’s a four wheel cart kayak with the bungees self holding them selves and then we have a mobility cart that goes about 10 to 12 miles an hour and it’s just perfect hook up and just go to the water by river

That first loop you made is not a truckers hitch, it's a slip knot. The truckers hitch consists of the slipknot (which you did first) and the hemp knot which you did second.
@johnnyz7752 2 жыл бұрын
Rather than tying the bowline knot under the rear bumper, why not tie the rope to the tow point under the car first and then tie the bowline knot up where the canoe is?
@EbsAdventure 2 жыл бұрын
You can do it however you like - we use a bowline at one end (either on the canoe in this video or at the tow point) and a trucker's hitch at the other.

Hi Bart, thanks for the question. You can see how we do that in our companion video "How to tie a canoe onto your car", where we use the Prusik Hitch on the canoe and then tie both loose ends to the vehicle hood loops using Truckers Hitches. You can also simply tie it to the loop on the other side with a bowline knot.

Could this be used for a canoe? Or are there other carts that are specific for a canoe? looking for something heavy duty!
@EbsAdventure 2 жыл бұрын
Many of these carts can be used for small canoes. There are also heavy duty carts meant for larger and loaded boats. It also depends on the terrain you'll be going over. The cart in the video has solid (flat-free) tires that are good for smooth surfaces, but other carts have larger pneumatic tires for rougher terrain or sand.

The tie down at the back is wrong; the rope on the canoe should be anchored more toward the front of the canoe to pull the canoe towards the back of the vehicle. One of the thwarts would work. Any part of the canoe that overhangs the tiedowns is a bad place to tie to the load.
@spasecookee 2 жыл бұрын
If you look at kzbin.info/www/bejne/j6TcXoOZap2XatE you will see that there is no other option. The thwart is too far away from the back of the car.

You do not need to tie downt is a big wing on top of your the front and back using these straps….how tight is tight enough on the straps….if you wiggle the canoe and the car and canoe moves as one tight…..it’s good….if you aRe driving and the boat shifts …remember it may catch the wind as you drive as It is a big wing, a little movement is ok …like a inch but not more……if you push and pull on the strapped canoe and it moves the whole car it’s tight…..I say this as I have carried many canoes across the states to deliver to customers …sometimes stacked…and had ANY…. Problem……. The reason is those straps
@oastie3 2 жыл бұрын
I like that you use a twist for the first loop. This is exactly how I remember truckers tying down loads of bushel boxes when I was a child. It ensures that the loop never jams under load like some of the alternatives where a loop is tied in the standing part. I used to use this to secure my Canadian canoe on the roof of my car, across and front and back. It always stayed taught but just fell apart when the tension was released.

@EbsAdventure 3 жыл бұрын
Hi Jonah, it depends on how secure the boat is on your cartop and what the wind is doing. If you have a roof rack you are probably fine the whole way. If you don't, and the boat is on foam pads or something, you're going to want to check the ropes regularly. If you have a wind to deal with you certainly want to check more often. The knots shouldn't work loose if you've tied them properly, but the boat can shift with wind or semi trucks passing by.

Hey Seth we simply use rope to a hitch or metal tie-down point at the back, again the Trucker's hitch comes in handy here. If there's no tie-down point back there you can use a hood loop (pvc pipe piece attached to a webbing loop) under the hood/hatch to create a tie-down point.

I'm researching BC skis for xcountry skiing on relatively flat terrain (in MN.) where there are no established trails. I want a stable platform. Why stop at 78's? What's the tradeoff from going wider to say 98's or even 109's?
@EbsAdventure 3 жыл бұрын
Hey Lars, thanks for the question. Basic answer: fatter skis are slower. I like to ski out in my 70's - in the dry, fine snow we have in SK you're going to be sinking in and "walking" anyway, and when I turn back along my own trail I get a lot better glide with a narrower ski. In more humid snow you could definitely get away with a fatter ski and still get some glide. It's personal preference too, so if you're lucky you can experiment and find what you like best.
