Congrats , those are great kayaks, I use an OldTown 106 Powerd by MK. or a Hobe Lunx. Good job sir, it will get easier the morer you do it

[@wildersidegear]

I’d love to try out a Lynx

[@kennedybj1]

will that landing gear work on a Jackson Coosa..?

[@wildersidegear]

I have a design for the Coosa… if you send me an email to [e-mail] I can give you the details.

[@PlatinumVenturesLLC]

Not for 700

[@WhoWeBe25]

I’d have to agree, what makes this product stand out from the others that I know of such as the landing gear that angler Greg Blanchard and TH-camr uses…? 🤔

[@wildersidegear]

Thanks for reviewing the video and providing feedback on the Freedom Launcher. Yes, great question - what's different? Some of my customers are from the Pacific Northwest where the waters are cool but fishable much of the year. These fishermen don't want to start their day standing in the water flipping up their wheels (think Boonedox) like you see in many TH-cam videos. That's what attracted them to the Freedom Launcher - the ability to flip the wheels up or down easily while seated. They also like the wide wheel stance so you don't have to fight the kayak from tipping over on uneven ground. Those are some of the reasons they chose this product and the feedback I've received. Cheers - David.

@@wildersidegear that's why I wear boots or waders.

[@bitz91101]

Still not worth the price you have it listed. Rather deal with Boonedox and save me 400.

[@wildersidegear]

I'm really happy with how the gunwale bracket worked on this Hobie Outback. I made it especially for this application and it fit like a glove. I'm offering the same kit for your Hobie Outback if you are interested. I source all my parts from American suppliers when possible. If you want more info on kits for this or other kayaks, reach out to me at wilderside.life or text me at 309 220 3947. Tight Lines! - David.

It’s so painful to watch someone put a $3700 kayak on an abrasive surface and just grind it off into the water under the full weight of their body. Just walk 6” deep into the water man, Jesus.

[@wildersidegear]

Jesus walked on the water, but none of my friends do. But I have had friends slip and fall at the bottom of the ramp in 3" of water on the slick as snot moss that grows on the concrete. Did a real number on their back. So when you get to be over 60 years old, you weigh the potential for hull damage vs body damage differently. I can add a Kydex wear plate or weld some plastic on a badly worn kayak. A healthy back or knees is worth much more than $3700 for many of my customers.

[@TrackerbassSS]

Or here’s a thought just back up to the ramp and use the trailer . Lmao

[@jarnohoogland]

Where does he do that?
