I think your DIY skills can reduce the cost of living out in the country by at least 50%. Thank you so much for showing the world you ingenuity. Most people in the younger generations by in large have very poor DIY skills and can learn a lot from you!
I think anyone that'd get bored watching your videos... well you don't need them around anyhow. I like the way you keep things simple. From the project itself to your knowledge and ability to explain it easily. I'm glad that you share your knowledge and the broad range of skills that you possess.
I Thank God for my Dad , that was born in 1912 , for teaching this ol country boy how to make do with whatcha got . You and I come up with a lot of good ideas along the same lines . I threw a contraption together similar to your kayak cart to haul my deerstands down into the woods . Grew up with a 2 seater outhouse , drew water out of a hand dug well , and we all took a bath in a wash tub . We were poor but I didn't realize it until I was grown and had a family of my own . Preciate you for showing people how to survive .
Incredible, about an hour? Sir? I haven’t been following you that long but long enough to know you did that with a hurt arm and lack of feeling in your fingers. Amazing
Jeff your family has been a refreshing joy. Im just a country boy from Ft. Worth Tex.l do still get the Robertson on Utube.l just wanted to say thank uou both.
Jeff nothing you do is boring, we love it all and you are an excellent carpenter, it shows in the videos my dude, keep the good videos comin and well keep the likes a comin... cheers. Oh tell that lovely daughter to get to posting we miss her.
That's a awesome kayak rack for a truck Jeff. Let say the numb feeling that you have in your thumb and index finger I experienced the same thing from almost having frostbite in my right arm and hand. Flipped a car into a creek in the winter time, and the dr said that i was going to have to go to a nerve specialist. The dr told me that we have a brain that can still tell them to function but it was going to take a while for the feeling to return. You'll have to concentrate on using the effected fingers but don't worry about it it'll come back. I'll tell you that it took a long while for feeling to return, but it eventually came back and I have no problems with the arm and fingers today. Just work them and keep using them, most people give up when something like this happens to them. Luckily I am left handed and it was my right arm and hand that was submerged in the ice cold water. The coldest i have ever been was laying in the water before someone got me out of the car.
You have a beautiful family man. Heart of America you guys are. Great work on this rack. Im expecting a call today about a new job because I lost my job due to covid19. It may actually be a blessing in disguise because this new opportunity is in a MUCH more rural area where i am hoping I can reconnect with these outdoor hobbies ive been missing while living in the big city.
Hey, Jeff: I know you say it's not much, but you teach most of Us, how to do things, we wouldn't think of. Besides, your talking about Fishing, and there isn't anything better! Good luck on your nerve problem, and arm, will keep you in my prayers!!!
Nicely done Jeff, so glad to hear that you will put a stopper on that top kayak 👍would be a shame to punch the window out accidentally. Liking the wheels edition. Have a great day and weekend to bro.
It was a lot of fun having you guys down for a quick scalloping trip! I am glad to see the yaks get put to good use too! I look forward to taking you guys flounder gigging next time you come down. Hey, why don’t you make you a rack on top for that big cooler of yours? Make it recessed so the cooler can’t slide out. If you are worried about weight, make it a drop in rack. You won’t always use it, but on longer trips it will be nice. Take care friend.
The kayaks look good. Have fun while you both can with them. Jeff Please be careful with your arm, I know it can be restricting,but in a way its for your own good. So not to heal wrong and as you say start having problems with your nerve endings with your fingers. I know how it is to not heal as well as you want to. My last surgery removing my cancer has not healed too well.
Jeff that's a great "Free Style" Set up. If you put 4 Eyelets on top. You can just use a hoist under the shed or little winch to pick it up then drive forward and lower it down to the ground. (Just my 2 cents). The winch like you use for processing deer/Hogs is all you need.
Hey man nice kayak rack . Btw those are scupper holes. Actually its the weakest part of the vessel. It may seem convient to anchor that way with a pole but it will eventually sink your boat. Wisest system is the micro power pole or just a simple rope an anchor. Stay safe.
Might want to put a bump stop on the middle rack to keep it from busting your back window out brother. You don’t think it will happen till it does! Someone might steal that setup brother while your deployed somewhere. You may want to make the roller that picks up the rack into something like a counter weighted lift system or a “dolly” for lack of a better word type of design that is separate from the entire setup. Just some ideas my friend. Great job either way👍🏻
Jeff said he is going to strap them to the rack probably using them eye bolts he was talking about. and the rack to the bed of the truck. After that there not going to move.
Do you think a Safety Triangle attached to the back would be a good idea? May keep someone from running into your kayaks. Reflective tape would work too I guess.
RBT or a set of cheap led’s from Harbor Freight that will easily plug into his trailer lighting jack so that way he will have running, brake and turn signal lights.
just to remember to flag it if it hangs more than 4ft over the tailgait. oh yea, and I enjoy the content you've been putting out as of late. Tell hannah to enjoy her time off and dont hurry back!
I like it. what is cool is you build things for how you will use it and what makes sense for you. I was about to play armchair quarterback and mention a safety to keep top one from sliding through the glass in an accident but.. you already thought of it. I should have expected that. only reason I knew to do that is we had steel pipe leave a factory here and driver stopped suddenly and one of the 5 inch line pipe on his load, slid right through the glass of his semi. lucky it was just to his right and he was not injured.
Another excellent job Jeff, that will make it easier to use, & load. I would put two red reflectors on the axle board. Glad your arm is getting better. Love you guy’s, God Bless everyone.
I had a bicep relocation on my right shoulder 5 years ago and hade that tingles in my thumb and first 2 fingers and it went away after about 9 months and has never came back.
Great video! I was tempted to try and making 1 out of pvc pipe so I can remove it/ disassemble it as necessary. Right now I’m putting my 4 kayaks on their side. Just beats them up.
Jeff how about the inside outside felt like on the bottom racks so it slides in and out easily and won't ruin the bottom of boats.. Racks turned out Nice Mr. 👍👍😉 Terrific as always❣
Great idea! All I could do is stare at that top one so close to the back glass! Glad you said you was putting the safety on it. That would be an expensive Uhoh!!!
Those are some big kayaks ! Enjoyed watching you build this rack which looks like it work pretty good ! Nice job and thanks for making this video Jeff ! Take care of your arm too and hope the nerve specialist is able to repair the nerve issue ! Right now I am suffering from Sciatica and layer up in bed taking some strong muscle relaxants. Thanks !
Pretty neat setup ya got there Jeff. Looks functional but I think I'd try to build a rack to suspend that whole kayak rack from so you could just back up under it, and lower it down into the truck bed. Then when it's time to take 'em off, back the truck up to the rack and crank a chain hoist/harness up to lift it 4" or 5" inches and drive out from under it and just let is hang 'til next time. Maybe you could use your new skinnin' rack for now? :-) My Gpa used to use a system like that to hold his truck cap. Good idea about protecting that rear window... haha
Hey Jeff, come to Tallahassee and hunt with us? Let me know if you're interested and we will set you guys up for a weekend. I'd love to meet you guys. Deer, Quail, and Bass Fishing. I'm a big fan.
Yup, definitely need that "runaway" to keep that top torpedo from breeching the hull (window). LOL. I was going to suggest an 8'x4' stand, same height as the tailgate of the truck and just back up to it and slide the whole affair off the bed onto the stand. If you had side lips to keep it from "yawing" while sliding, then one person could possibly push/pull to load/unload. Strips of teflon screwed to the stand would make sliding "more gooder". Pretty snazzy kayaks there. Love the spud feature too.
Love the video Jeff. You remind me alot of myself. Always want to do it right but simple at the same time. I think you did a great job im sure it will work out just fine. I appreciate y'all!!!
Appreciate you and the content. Despite the arm you keep on keeping on. Id be doing the same brother. All the best, looking forward to more vids to come
First thought is Where's Hannah? Second thought new boyfriend. Third thought you bought a couple of amazing yet heavy yaks. I've been paddling and FST12 for 5 years. Excellent stable fishing platforms. Heavy as hell although. This rack idea is amazing and yet simple. Low cost is added bonus. Will look forward to some fishing videos in these bad boys.
I remember when I fixed up our old house in California to sell, I injured myself somewhere along the way and I lost the feeling on my right hand in the index finger middle finger and thumb. After I moved it was a good year and a half or I still had numbness in all three fingers and then one day it just started hurting again and one of the fingers and within about three or four months all the feeling eventually came back. The doctor never knew what was wrong you just said a damaged a nerve and it probably just took time to grow back. Hopefully yours will come back quickly
Screw a sheet of tin roofing on the top, it will help the wind and rain from blowing your stuff out on the highway, and in the yard, chicken wire sides will slow down the bums from gripping your stuff.
Awesome build!! Guarantee you’ll see more of theses rack around after this. Tell Hannah to get her butt in gear with some new videos or did she fall of the face of the Earth lol
Down here in Florida sticking out that far we would have to put a red flag on that flipping around off the back. I gave you a thumbs up, where is the thumbs up at people?
Yes , in Illinois anything that is sticking out at 3' or more a person has to put that red flag on the end so that people can see that there is a danger hanging out the back of your vehicle. People are following to close as far as I am concerned. LOL
Might wanna get a patent on that contraption before you see it being sold at Bass Pro! Nice work, can I borrow you for the day?? I have a honey do list about a mile long. 😊

So glad y'all finally went scalloping! Hope it was a successful trip. Can't wait to see that video. Scallops are the best the sea has to offer.
Incredible, about an hour? Sir? I haven’t been following you that long but long enough to know you did that with a hurt arm and lack of feeling in your fingers. Amazing
Good job Jeff , keep on building, And cooking and playing 👌
True ingenuity there man!!
Thanks for the videos & stay safe hope your healing well!?.
Man, you’re a one man ARMy. I’ve got two fully functional arms and can’t manage a fraction of your productivity 💪
Jeff your family has been a refreshing joy. Im just a country boy from Ft. Worth Tex.l do still get the Robertson on Utube.l just wanted to say thank uou both.
Stay safe in those storms coming your way

I'm all for putting wheels on anything that's heavy! Awesome project
The Pickups are awesone.
Great videos. Had that same surgery 4 years ago and arm is still weak and doesn’t have have the strength as it use to. Good luck to you. 👍
Jeff you are a piece of work. Thanks so much for letting Hannah talk you into this. SIMPLE is good!
Hey thanks for the upload Jeff!!! #StaySafe & #StayBlessed 😎👍
Great job and idea. Hope nothing to serious with the arm and hand. Keep up the great videos
Right on Daddy Hanna aka Jeff! Functional given me some ideas for my Kanak too! Also for some hog traps too!
Hey, Jeff: I know you say it's not much, but you teach most of Us, how to do things, we wouldn't think of. Besides, your talking about Fishing, and there isn't anything better! Good luck on your nerve problem, and arm, will keep you in my prayers!!!
Jeff you don’t bore us, all these jobs you do are interesting it would be nice to see your rifles being a keen shooter myself

Could put the bottom kayak on the top rack. Then put the big cooler, small coolers and rods, tackle, gear , whatever in the bottom slot. Rick.
@@rickoncordova1 even better, but make the bottom rack where it could do either, in case you don't need the room, you can keep things low.
always good to visit with a buddy
Thanks for video Jeff, that's a great idea. I have an avalanche and I was trying to fit my jet ski in the bed, I could make something similar work.
The kayaks look good. Have fun while you both can with them. Jeff Please be careful with your arm, I know it can be restricting,but in a way its for your own good.

Another Jeff master piece!! Love the rack !!
Thanks Jeff. Love watching you do projects and food videos. I could almost taste that ham.
Great project Jeff, very handy.
Preciate yall!
That is a very cool and simple kayak rack. Love it. Awesome job.

Slick lookin rack Mr Jeff. Preciate ya sharin the idea and build.
First Super Duty I've seen with wheelie bars! She must be fast...😂 Love the idea and the rack.🇺🇸
Nice. Kayaks.like them, look stable.
Good idea, Jeff! Great build video!
Another excellent job Jeff, that will make it easier to use, & load. I would put two red reflectors on the axle board. Glad your arm is getting better. Love you guy’s, God Bless everyone.

Smart and neat no need for anything more good video M8.
looks great works better ,you could even put rod holders on the side of the rack ,take care of the arm keep up the good videos
Damn Jeff your a handy man.. Great idea brother. Love your channel
Love this stuff Jeff. Vids are like 'the Yankee Workshop' or an outdoors show that takes me away from the concrete jungle. 👍😉
Great video! I was tempted to try and making 1 out of pvc pipe so I can remove it/ disassemble it as necessary. Right now I’m putting my 4 kayaks on their side. Just beats them up.
Awesome video. One question, have you ever thought about building something and NOT been able to do it? I don't think so.
Jeff how about the inside outside felt like on the bottom racks so it slides in and out easily and won't ruin the bottom of boats..
Racks turned out Nice Mr. 👍👍😉
Terrific as always❣

How about marker lights on that frame hanging off the truck bed? Those wheels were a good idea.`
nice setup! thanks for sharing!
Looks good. Be sure to come up with something to protect that rear window.
That’s a good idea those runners long ways so that those cross braces aren’t pushing on that Kiel

You could use the spud bar hold both boats to the rack. Through the holes you showed.

She`s probably got a new main squeeze.
What about making one out of PVC pipe? Awesome build btw!
Thanks Jeff
good design
Down here in Florida sticking out that far we would have to put a red flag on that flipping around off the back. I gave you a thumbs up, where is the thumbs up at people?
