crate tip...on the crate you cut the bottom off of; cut the top off as well, zip tie to bottom of your tackle crate, and put over the hatch cover. Now you have a level spot for your crate. I have this kayak and that drove me crazy. Thanks for the content!

Uummm about pissing, I fight multiple sclerosis and I have to pee about every 15-20 minutes. I learned long ago that I need to take a bottle to piss in. I find that laundry detergent bottles work well. Big holes to aim at, if you pull the inner spout out. They float, have reusable lids and generally have a handle to tie a leash to. I like the way you did your box! Good job!

Really like how you secured the milk crate to the yak. I'm about done fighting with the bungee to secure my crate. If you half a pool noodle and zip tie em to the bottom of the crate, it really reduces the rocking caused by the crate sitting on the hatch cover. I also put a strip of gorilla tape over the crate name. Just in case I'm on a lake and chance encounter the CEO of Deans Foods. LOL. Love the trash can idea, gonna steal that idea! I just secure my stadium seat to the hook point already provided behind the seat. Also enjoy my Tamarack but have to disagree with you about the tracking, I think the tracking sux but it is a $200 kayak. Great video man.

@Urbexx Jeremy Thanks for your response. I've been using mine for about two months and have found that a small three tiered Plano box velcroed to the front hatch cover is all I need. At my age it's harder to turn around to get anything in a crate. Keep a catchin!

As a trucker I approve this message. I use a 32oz monster can with widemouth and lid cause you can 1 hand it easy by pinching dents in the side with fore and middle finger and use thumb to keep it from forming a seal and creating a vacuum that sprays you with your own piss.

@@jcv5469 When the flag is displayed on a wall the union is to be displayed on the flag's right or the observers left. This may not look correct as some of us have seen the flag displayed on top of coffins and the union is displayed on the flag's left. This is to have it over the persons left shoulder (heart).

Hi is this a good beginner boat? I'm old and after retirement I took up fishing and love it but now I wanna get out on top of the water in my lake and river. I've never had a kayak but I can't afford a john boat yet. I'm worried if my abdomen/back will ache from it being unstable. Does my question make sense?
@MichiganAmBushOutdoors Жыл бұрын
This boat is good for the price but depending on your budget, you could get a better boat already decked out with more comfort. The Ascend 12T is a good boat that has a nice seat with a backrest. You can get them at bass pro.
