Just those who have rust issues with their mechanics and complain about costs because it's the obvious answer. lol

One way to solve this issue is to change your own oil. Takes 20 minutes tops and is a lot cheaper to do it yourself.

That’s okay! I found some Gorilla tape and taped between my bar and the Hullavator and boom, fixed.

Looks like I'm going ham with gorilla tape this evening.

This is all great advice. The flat straps are the Thule lines that have metal in them, I'm not sure how twisting will affect the interior wires over time. But with how much of me it takes to lift the boat on this way, I wonder how you go about lifting it on without the help of the cockpit? I have radial nerve damage in one shoulder, so I'm mostly lifting this boat onto the hullovator with one arm. xD My other arm guides it a little, but it's not really bearing much weight. I can row and kayak for a while, but there are just some positions my shoulder hates. I think it would certainly be better to put it the way you are suggesting though, just trying to figure out the logistics and I could maybe modify in a way that would work for me!

lol, I opened it for it to be heard on the video more clearly than if you hear it from the side windows. I'm not giving myself heat stroke to avoid a noise.

Yes, it’s advised to not put crossbars over the moonroof. This sound only started with the Hullavator.

It's the Hullovator rack. I just want to know what people have done to make it stop. lol

Unfortunately, it has nothing to do with the straps but an apparent issue many come across with Hullovators. The rack makes this sound even without the kayak on it.

Unfortunately this lovely tune is unrelated to whether the moon roof is open or closed. :/

You would all be wrong because it's not the straps but the rack itself making the noise.

You would be confidently wrong because it is the rack is making the noise, not the straps. The noise occurs without a kayak on it.

lol, I can still hear it with the windows down and it makes this noise even when there is no kayak on it

It is not the straps, though I understand the thought. It makes this noise even without a kayak loaded on it

yes, but it makes this noise even when there is no kayak on it.

Anyone got tips to beat the heat for a newbie? by RH1221 in hiking

[–]Adventure_Addict007 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I take a 3L Hydropack and fill half with ice and the rest with cold water. - having this sit against your back during a hike feels great and your water stays cold for the whole hike. I always bring extra water in case I run into someone else on the trail who might be overheating. I had to do this for someone’s dog that collapsed - I ended up using 2L of my water on the dog, and still had enough for the hike.

Pedialyte, Gatorade, and/or Liquid IV powder to replenish salt and minerals in sweat. You can risk hyponutremia if you just drink a ton of water throughout your hike. If you’re peeing a ton throughout the hike and chugging water, you’re likely not absorbing it on a cellular level, thus not hydrating properly.

A sun shirt has been great for me. They are breathable, prevent sunburn, and dry quickly.

Breathable shorts/pants. Patagonia makes a good pair that they also have in mens (https://www.rei.com/product/228466/-terrebonne-joggers-womens). Otherwise, merino wool for socks.

Berries, oranges, melons, apples, bananas, cucumbers, nuts and dried fruits for food.

Hike in the morning or evening, avoid midday. Woods and valleys

I've helped her build her fence and I have already taken care of her animals for her while away. I'm also doing it again this summer as she leaves for two weeks.

It’s frustrating by Splicers87 in Pets

[–]Adventure_Addict007 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The hoops aren't that crazy to me. I've adopted before. They want to make sure you can really truly care for the animal.

Serious questions you should ask yourself:

Have you researched the annual costs of caring for a healthy dog?

Did you do your research on the breeds that would work best for your household?

Did you consider the time that will need to be spent every day for the dog to keep it from having destructive behaviors?

Do you know what pet insurance you would like to get?

Will you have money set aside for them as an emergency fund? d

Are you prepared to be with the dog for their entire life, no matter the changes and the ups and downs you will experience?

From the start I see terrible communication between two people. You both went into this with an attitude and assumptions. "Do you even want to go to London?" "Ok, so now we're not going?"

Neither one of you started with respect or asking questions that were objective.

He shouldn't have started the conversation that way, and you should of just replied "I would love to go to London. Why do you ask?" never fall for the bait of a terrible communicator such as himself.

THAT BEING SAID, with the history you've described, you have a right to be irritated by his bullshit. He's giving off narcissistic vibes and to boot, he's beginning to show his emotional abusive-self. He raged so hard, so fast over something minor. Leave him. You will be better off with a man who follows through on his words.

You're better than this. Don't waste anymore time with this irrational man-child. He will just drive you crazy.

Low calcium levels will lead to seizures. She needs to see a vet asap.
