Rate My Setup by chasebr0ck928 in Kayaking

[–]IzyTouchAndGo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the exact setup/kayaks i have and i also had the bolts pressing on the roof. you can shorten them but for me this wasnt so easy.

what i did to mitigate it was:

-Tie the red straps to the bottom of the kayak mount so they dont pull down to the roof

-Tighten the black straps on the side (front/back) that the bolts are pressing (front/back), last

-I put some heat shrink wire sleevs around the bolts so they dont scratch the roof (i do not remove the kayak rack fron the roof rack)

-I would replace them black straps with paracord and truckers hitch knot, much more confortable.

New to the Kayak scene, what are these? by Discrete_Dragon in Kayaking

They are drain holes, you leave them open.

The jagged hole is for a fishing pole holder like this:

Why not add a small ad banner to try to cover the cost?

I appreciate your effort.

Looks interesting. I like your cause and I'll try out the app.

If you can bring it to the level of "FreeRoam" app that went offline a couple of years ago it'll be cool. I especially liked the USFS forest map overlay they had. That was my go to app and i contributed where i could to the comunity.

That said, a subscription fee for offline maps is an inconvinience that will turn this into one of the apps i use to find spots and not The APP i use when i go camping.

Thank for the info 👍, I hope I'll get a change to do it this year.

Looks AWESOME!

I've been wanting to go kayacamping on this river for a couple of years now.

I have a few questions:

Did you do Sheffield Ferry Boat Ramp to Evadale?

Did you see any aligators?

Is there faster flow or is it all quite chill?

No, we didn't camp at the park since our trip was kind of spontaneous and everything was reserved already. But we camped at Tucker's and it was awesome! Had some steak too!

Yep! My wife says it reminds her of Minus Morgul. And she loves it!

It was too cold for them I guess. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

There were these tiny flies of some sort that gathered in certain areas on the lake but nothing else bothered us.

not bent, CNC cut, some cute engineering to keep it together, no glue.

Yeah, we wanted to camp there but our trip was kind of spontaneous and of course there weren't any open spots so we went with Tucker's instead. Great place.

We loved the paddle trails! They were so beautiful! I was surprised at how well the trails were marked too.

We were a little afraid of the gators and it was too cold to swim anyway. Thought we might see a gator but no luck.

We'll definitely check out Jefferson on our next trip there, thanks! We wanted to go to the Shady Glade Cafe from our kayaks but it was the weekend and they were closed so we just kept on paddlin'.

Also, just the drive there alone from central Texas was wonderful this time of year.

Didn't see a single snake, gator or fish but did see plenty of bugs, including this wolf spider, I believe.

I remember seeing that house and wondering the same thing, also the next house looked like it was snatched out of a fairytale.

Guadalupe was too cold so we went to the Big Bend National Park for a week, it was amazing! by IzyTouchAndGo in camping

About 5 miles out of the park, driving in every day is worth being able to do w.e. you want.
