How I Haul A Kayak On My Car (Old Town Sportsman AutoPilot) Loading, Unloading, Securing

[@abmagrum5360]

Thanks J C !!

[@justin2264]

Yes, finally something I was looking for. Very informative, and easy to follow. I appreciate the video!

[@FishOnChannel]

Great job JC for a heavy kayak you make it look so easy 💪💪

[@asugarholicslife]

That's a pretty sweet set up!!

[@FrankLadd]

Great video! That Toyota is a great car!

[@edbranch3239]

That was really informative JC. Almost makes me think about fishing one.

[@TopwolfOutdoors]

You got that down to a science grade job that kayaks not going anywhere but to catch them big fish tight lines my friend

[@RadReelingFishing]

I got a package in the mail this week. I haven't opened it yet, thanks...

[@SouthwestKayakFishing]

Thanks for putting this video together and showing people what it can take to get on the water. Sometimes Kayak fishing can be a lot of work but once your on the water enjoying the day and catch fish you’re already planning your next trip.

[@RadReelingFishing]

I rarely get skunked when I'm kayak fishing, for shore it happens often. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@unclejun84]

Nice, you ever thought of getting a suv

[@RadReelingFishing]

Thanks for watching. Yes I have, but I've decided to get a truck.

[@unclejun84]

@@RadReelingFishing ok ford ranger are good truck, I work on them all time there, Economical, my Opinion

[@donniedickerson8077]

@@RadReelingFishing indeed, A Truck and kayak trailer Will make your Life easier

[@David-ly8ez]

That was good JC, thanks! I've been thinking about kayak fishing but man I think it's a lot of work!

[@RadReelingFishing]

It's extra work, but I get to fish in so many places. It will be less work for sure when I finally get a truck.

[@fives645]

Hey hey! Another video from JC ! Love it man, keep on keepin on! 🤙

[@famouslyunheardof8169]

That kayaks worth as much if not more than the car, hope you find a good deal on a truck.

[@RadReelingFishing]

Ha ha...yep, the yak is definitely worth more.

[@91Bronco]

Let’s get some new kayak fishing videos! Fun ones to watch for sure. That’s a lot of work you do there JC lol. Makes me happy to have a truck to throw mine in the bed

[@RadReelingFishing]

Thanks for watching. Next video I think is a kayak fishing one. Thanks for commenting.

[@chiroangler]

Great video! I also have to car top my kayak on occasion and it's such a pain. Would love to buy a truck someday, but cost has increased significantly.

[@mikedoran4763]

Love your content JC. That's quite the transport system on the car. Great demonstration on the tensioning knot. Gotta admit though, seeing that makes me appreciate how well my 10 ft yaks fit in the 8ft bed of my truck. 🤔

[@thisolesignguy2733]

I do it almost the same way on my Rav4, they make racks for them but I'm too cheap and I love my DIY better anyhow.

[@goatwhsprr]

Yo JC, dude, your ingenuity is out standing and purpose driven. However, i am of the opinion that if you attach some 2in PVC tubing about 4ft in length straight up from your bumper with the width apart the same as your kayaks beam, that way when your coming in hot with your Toyota in the water. you will be able to position your kayak perfectly on the first docking,,, Love your work

[@RadReelingFishing]

Right on! Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@trampster7306]

Nice info JC. It's amazing what you can get on the roof of a car, especially if you have roof rails & bars. Took 2 5ft x 7ft windows UK to France on mine! Stay safe & well!

[@NorthFloridaSaltwaterFishing]

I have an Old Town Predator PDL and I think it weighs about 120 lbs. Fortunately I have a pick up and I use a T-Bone bed extender that attaches to my receiver hitch. You came up with a pretty good system loading that heavy kayak on top of your car. Nice job and great video! 👍

[@theloosemoose8200]

My 10.6 kayak slides right in the back of my SUV (front seat flipped foreword) best decision ever...

[@jckdnls9292]

Have you thought about putting a tow hitch...and then using a T bar ? Once it's tied to the T bar it's pretty much set.. you won't need all that rope and only need that one set of foams. It'll be centered and secured forward and back..

[@RadReelingFishing]

Great idea, yes i have consider that, but my plan is to get a truck so I didn't want to spend the money to add a hitch etc...

[@bobbyg6662]

Is the wilderness systems kayak cart wider than the Ctug. Video idea-if you still have your C-tug could you do a side by side comparison. I have strongly thinking about making the switch over to the wilderness cart with my predator PDL. The wilderness cart looks like it can handle rough terrain better. The one thing that keeps me from quickly making the switch is I like how the Ctug breaks down and stores.

[@RadReelingFishing]

The Wilderness System cart is adjustable in width and has two height adjustments. You are right, the C-tug is nice to beak down. I have the Predator Pdl too. I don't think the Wilderness System cart would break down small enough to fit in the front hatch area like the C-tug does on the Predator.

[@geraldlair2888]

Just put a hitch on the car and buy a trailer. Alot cheaper than buying a truck, and much easier then loading it in the bed of a truck.

[@RadReelingFishing]

Great idea, but I'd have to find a place to store the trailer. I live in an apartment complex that doesn't have additional storage area.

[@geraldlair2888]

@@RadReelingFishing Sucks about not having a place to store the trailer. Where do you store the Yak living in a apartment? I'm in the opposite situation as you. I have a truck and a Jet Ski trailer, but no Yak. Waiting on a AP 120. Hopefully a couple more months.

[@RadReelingFishing]

@@geraldlair2888 Thanks for watching. I keep the yak at a friends house.

[@MarkFL98]

Wow, live and learn, you’ve definitely developed an awesome system for transporting your kayaks. Are you still considering getting a truck?

[@RadReelingFishing]

Thanks for watching. I will be getting a truck, still just socking money away. I can't stand the idea of having a truck payment. We will see how it goes when it's time to get one.

[@tonydancz6789]

Hey jc what’s up with the volume

[@RadReelingFishing]

I recorded this on my Gopro Hero 6, the worst Gopro audio ever known to man. My GP8 was out of commission that day.

[@howardbolden4325]

Do you store your kayak in one of those units? I live in an apartment and I need a place to store my kayak when I get it. Nice video

[@leonelmolinajr2]

That’s too much work!

[@ralphzaccaria7420]

How far have you driven to a launch site? What is the top speed are you comfortable driving at? Thanks I launch within 20 minutes from home and don’t go over 40 mph. I would like to take it on longer trips on the parkway.

[@RadReelingFishing]

Thanks watching. When I add the additional ropes I travel 70 mph on the interstate. The farthest I've traveled is about 75 miles one way.

[@ralphzaccaria7420]

@@RadReelingFishing thanks. I’m trying to build the confidence to do the same. I rooftop also.

[@Skap91]

Audio is trash

[@jayjohnson9668]

Why the hell dont you just buy a truck and be done with all this BS?

[@RadReelingFishing]

The main reason is because I haven't had a car payment in over 25 years. I always pay for my vehicles in full. I am currently 100% debt free ( I owe no one) and intend on keeping my life that way. So, with that being said, I'm socking away money to purchase a truck. Thanks for watching and always being so straightforward with your comments.
