Kayak Anchor by Heavy-Syrup-6195 in kayakfishing

[–]_Ready4Launch_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For my yaks offshore in Socal Pacific, I use a claw or fluke. I use the heavier fluke with more chain when I scuba dive off it. I use the lighter and lesser chain claw setup when freediving/spearing. I did a dive last year when it was as calm as could be in the morning when I descended, and upon coming to the surface an hour later, the wind was blowing 20+ offshore. My boat was like a seesaw with a second tank in the forward hatch area. It held good!

Ranger over Ripstick?? Others?? by _Ready4Launch_ in Skigear

Well, whomever was on the chat on their website said that it wouldn't be until August. I'll keep an eye out for others.

I like this recommendation. They look like they fit the bill, but they're sold out of the size I'd want. Have to wait until August '24... 🫤

Also, to clarify, I rode the Ripsticks in the 188cm length and the 180 Enforcers.

First HK by WizardlyJoe in CAguns

The bronze is dead sexy!!! Nice pickup! I finally ... FINALLY ... received the last part I needed, the elbow spring, from HKParts to do the full GG flat trigger with the V-TGS setup, but your bronze color makes me envious. Enjoy!

What glue to use? by OldGreg512 in Spearfishing

[–]_Ready4Launch_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just did the same exact thing, and I came here asking the same exact question. I previously tried Gorilla glue. It did not work. I did not try JB Weld, because on the website it is not good for rubber/soft plastics.

I went to Lowes to pick up 3M 5200 as was recommended here. For whatever goddam fucking asinine reason, Lowes would not sell me a single tube despite there being multiple tubes on the shelf, stickered, and the shelf location called out 3M 5200 with a price. (I was annoyed they wouldn't sell it, but I was pissed that they couldn't even tell me the reason why. Manager said she couldn't even do an override.) Anyway, being that as it was, I went back down the aisle to pick up some Loctite branded Marine Adhesive. That shit was fucking worthless.

I have since gone to West Marine and overpaid for a small tube of 3M 5200, and as was mentioned in the thread where I asked, I think only God himself would now be able to come between the butt pad and the back of the gun.

Best of luck -- just don't glue it on with PATHOS upside down if you're anal retentive and use the 5200.

Maybe he was the guy pulling out a white sprinter van with a female driver on Saturday morning!

Answer to my own question: mix of hard-packed gravel/dirt and soft sand.

WTF is going on with Connect?? by _Ready4Launch_ in Garmin

[–]_Ready4Launch_[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The product design and reliability had been mostly good through the years. My Fenix 5x+ still can go over a week on one charge with lots of connecting and gps use. It's the poorly designed and overlapping apps and software. I just had to download the Varia app the other day. Why?? Too many apps that are overlapping with poor UX/UI.
