    We just went out and learned how much we needed this. Your video is just what we needed to correct that. Thanks much!

    That was great advice Steve. I definitely agree with you every kayak or canoe should have that. Soon as I got my kayak that was the first thing I did. And it works very well. As a matter of fact I have two broken feet right now from a truck accident and i went on a 10 mile kayak trip today. When I got to the boat ramp my wife's uncle went to his truck and got my wheelchair and brung it to me. My buddy put my kayak on my kayak cart and I hooked it to the back of my wheelchair and pulled my kayak out of the water in a wheelchair. can't get no better than that.

      @@myadventureoutdoors thank you man I appreciate that yes I'm on my way again back to a full recovery. Just take it this time but I'm getting there. But I'm not letting it stop me from me having my fun. Just got one more surgery to go through which is my shoulder. Going to get my feet straight first and then do the shoulder next.

    No joke... I have one on my canoe, tied on to the back.... I throw it out into the water and let it float around out there. If I tip over, I can catch up to the rope. Only had to use it once, but I’m sure glad it was there. It does come in handy for an anchor rope, and a tie-off rope too.... thanks for another pro tip!!!!

    • @myadventureoutdoors
      @myadventureoutdoors  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      That's superior brain type stuff right there to drag a rope behind the canoe whilest drinking them tall boys floating down the river.

      Adventure Outdoors - indeed.... handy tool if the canoe gets tipsy, or the paddler gets tipsy 😉

    I ran a length of 1” tubular nylon webbing from the front lift handle. Acts as a stand-up assist strap, drag/tow strap, and a tie off strap on the water. With a fully loaded fishing yak, the 1” webbing is far more comfortable to grasp and doesn’t cut in to your hand.

    Totally agree, always keep a length of rope. Comes in handy. Awesome video, loved the intro

    I like it , that would double as a good anchor rope too . I always keep something sort of like that in my kayak because I like to tie off to stuff when I'm fishing . I think your next video should be a that super secret spaghetti 🍝 knot lol

      Hey stranger. I think you should make me something DIY in your shop that I can demonstrate the Serbian Spaghetti knot on.

    Here in Canada, it's the law you have to have a throw bag with I think 50ft of floating rope in a kayak. PFD, bailer or bilge (unless it has bags or sealed bulkheads, whistle, light for nighttime (unless in a place where big boat traffic isn't a thing)

  • @mountainsnmoore256
    @mountainsnmoore256 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I like the idea of the carabiner, easy on & off. I keep a pull rope tied to the handles of our kayaks, but I wouldn't recommend that in any sort of moving water.

    • @myadventureoutdoors

      Not in moving water, keep it stored until you need Pete to save you.

    Off topic question, I want to know about the windows on your home. Are those all original or are they new windows made to look vintage? They look vintage, but the sills look modern. Either way, they look great!

    • @myadventureoutdoors

    You forgot to mention that torch is for Alpha Males only, snowflakes watching cat videos from their moms basement should not handle such a device! In all seriousness, this is a great idea and yes everyone should have them. I like the carabiners you used, I just tied some loop knots into mine but I will be replacing them this year. I have had to tow my kids before and I'm glad I had the rope in the kayak with me.
