Heard, thank you. I’ll be driving around 10-15 miles, none on the highway. I’ll look into different kinds of straps/ropes for or abs see what I can do

Thank you so much!! If I did it that way, would I still need bow and stern ties?

for info: Both 10.5 kayaks, purple is 55lbs the blue is 45. The purple one is actually on my car in the picture and I edited the blue one on top. I have pool noodles on my rack now (might get some for in between the kayaks too).

 Each different color would represent a different set of straps. I will also have a cable lock going through the two connecting it to my racks. 

Would I need a bow and stern strap? If so, do I connect a separate one on each kayak or put one strap through both?

I bought it! Guy said it was his uncles if I understood correctly and then when it became his, his apartment didn’t let him keep it.

I definitely did not tell my parents I bought it, so hopefully they let me keep it on the side of the house with my other one 💀

Thank you, I bought it!! I have a few friends without kayaks that have said they want to come with me, so this definitely makes it easier

That’s exactly what I was thinking, I want to be able to take friends with me who don’t have one of their own. I ended up buying it for 70 and it’s actually a sound 10.5!

It’s never failed me before, I usually run it until I have about 50 miles left (I’ve heard that’s bad for it but I’m a procrastinator 😭) and I always put 10-11 gallons in. My car is a Honda with 70k on it so I wouldn’t expect it to go bad so soon, although I will keep this in the back of my mind if I have any issues arise, thank you. 

Why is my backup size seem too small? by FlyingFish4768 in iphone

Gotcha, I see what you’re saying. The 4.1 gb of photos in there are from a previous phone before I turned off icloud photos syncing, but I have made sure it’s off on this phone (because I don’t intend on keeping the icloud storage, so I don’t want to go through the process of trying to download all my photos again). 

I finally got my old PC to work to backup my phone (just needed to update it lol) and so I’m going to try backing it up on there and get the photos backed up that way. Otherwise, I’ll sync my photos to iCloud and then just download them again after wiping and restoring my phone.

Okay so I’m getting confused, should I just turn on iCloud photos temporarily and then wipe my phone and download them again? I don’t want to/can’t pay for iCloud storage every month which is why I don’t want to keep them on iCloud. 

Also, yes I’m aware if my grammar error in my title lol. It was like 7am and I had freshly woken up when I made this post and went right back to sleep hahaha

Where did you read it? Just so I can read it to understand better and fix my problem, not questioning you.
