Kayak Camping James River

My Son, Caleb, was able to fly out from Missouri to join me on an epic trip in the mountains of Virginia. We paddled 37 miles down the James river, and even did a little "Glamping" along the way. Elsa tried to intimidate us, but she was all bark and no bite. Still it made for a great trip with alot of rain.

River Truths - Dealing with FEAR
Переглядів 3415 років тому
Having fear is ok, FEAR having you is not. Fear can be debiltating and paralyzing for people. I suffer from fear and anxiety each time i go out on the river, or a kayak camping trip. Perhaps it is decreasing each time i go out, but it is noticeable either way. The saying "Face your FEAR" is the only way i know to get it to disappear for a time. Immerse yourself in the activity you fear for best...

Action Camera used: amzn.to/2Dp7qXY I almost let this footage go. I wasn't going to make anything of it. I didn't want to sound negative, or turn anyone off to kayak camping. My truth is that sometimes kayaking and camping isn't easy, or enjoyable, and may need to be cut short. In this video, I had made some big choices in life that led to me not being mentally ready for a big trip. The kayak I...

    The board between the front and the back of the kayak can leak as you mentioned. I added more silicone to fix the issue. I'd also like to add that though I appreciate the front holders, the water bottle does indeed need to be small. Fortunately I have one that fits it perfect. When reaching for the bottle though, I find it awkward to reach and found I had to lean a bit forward to grab the bottle. For holding snacks or what not, it's great. I like to place my emergency paddle in the netting on the front. My emergency paddle also has a small float attached to it's handle to help try to keep it afloat if needed. I never would have thought about the space on the back of the seat or that a water bottle would fit fine between those two ridges. I love the foot holdings. It makes shifting your body in the seat very easy when needed. Thanks for the video, it made me think of a few extra things with it. My second season with it is about to begin and I initially watched this video for the spray skirt information, but this was great to find out as well. PS My bilge fits perfectly along the left side of the Kayak, on the inside, while I'm sitting in the seat. If you are not a tiny person, this kayak has lots of space for you as well. The 400 lb capacity is fantastic if you are over 200lbs. You can still bring some gear with you and not worry too much about the weight you are adding into the kayak.

    Great video. What is the purpose of the two bungee cords on the back of the seat shown at @12:25? I see that you have one connected to the bungee on the rear. I didn't see this mentioned in the owners manual so I'm just not sure if they're meant for something specific or not.

    • @yakkelberry214
      @yakkelberry214 Рік тому

      Those bungees that have hooks on the end are there so that when transporting your kayak you can lay the seat all the way forward and hook those bungees to the front of the seat portion and it will hold the backrest down and out of the wind. Hope that helps! In the video you notice I have one of the hooks connected to the bungee on the rear deck and that holds the seat in the upright position which is very helpful when trying to re-enter your kayak. Nothing more aggravating when you are trying to get in and the seat keeps falling forwards when you are out on the water. :)

    Love this boat. Have two of them for my wife and I. Only complaint is the seat back straps don't hold position and the seat back gets stuck under the cockpit rim in the rear. Very annoying for what could be a very nice seat. If the seat back was a little higher it would rest against the rear rim instead of getting under the rim which is a real problem. I'm going to get some clamps for the seat back straps to see if I can limit the slippage. My other thought is to get a pool noodle to fit on the rear rim which the seat back can rest upon & prevent it form getting under the rim. Has anyone else figured out a solution?
