Look familiar?

Hi, and thanks for watching. Not there for the design phase, though I did see it, although not in the “marine architect” sense…more like the “this will be what our product looks like” sense. The hull from Vicking is fixed and new molds are expensive. Each company, in this case Hammerhead, tweaks the product with add-ons or features, and that can be an ongoing process…the last time I stopped by there, they were building a prototype of a seat upgrade. If whatever that was proves feasible, I’m sure he’ll submit the design to the manufacturer. I know Eddie because I’m a customer of his, not vice-versa, and I’ve enjoyed doing business with him. If you do buy one of his kayaks and think of a feature or improvement that could be made to it, let him know. He listens to and appreciates feedback, and he’s always looking for ways to improve his product. I apologize if I misspoke or was misunderstood…I certainly intended no deception or dishonesty. Stay Safe!

@@DEADorALIVEkayaking Im probably gonna buy a kayak from him, if shipping doesnt cost an arm and a leg. It just sounds odd to my ear as I know its drop shipped. A lot of fine Yaks are made in China...FeelFree, Vibe, HooDoo, Riot. So thats not an issue for me. And since you cant buy just 1 from Vicking the markup (ive checked on buying the 3 minumum with shipping from Vicking myself) is pretty fair...but if the shipping on top of that mark up is too much it swings to more economical for me to buy 3 from Vicking and have 3 for the price of one. I can buy a FeelFree Lure 13.5 with the pedal drive for the same price. I like this Yak more. The FeelFree ships free, this doesnt. Im willing to go a little extra for this Yak, so shipping isnt the breaking point. The breaking point is if Im paying what 3 costs plus enough to ship them from Vicking, why order one from your friend when I could order 3 from them. Thats what Im working over in my head and shopping cart.

Glad you enjoyed it! That’ll be great, to be able to tell the twins what they found…although it may be a while before they’re able to wrap their minds around “65+ million years old”! Thanks for watching, and Stay Safe!

Turkey Buzzards. That was the largest buzzard roost I've ever seen...about 100 yards along both sides of the river, and hundreds of birds! Stay Safe!

@@thomocusa Thank you so much…Stay Safe!

Me, too! I've found teeth there since the mid-70's! I would've liked to have been a little farther downstream and a lot farther out into the riverbed than we were, but for some reason the dam operators don't open/close the dam according to my whim. LOL Thanks for watching, and Stay Safe!

There are a few around the Open Pond area, but the rangers do a pretty good job of keeping big ones trapped out. No swimming at Open Pond, anyway, though, after 2 attacks about 30 years ago that prompted the start of the trapping program there.

If you’re seeing bats hunting in/around your yard, they know the box is there. They’re always looking for alternate housing, even if just to know where it’s at should they need it. If they haven’t taken up residence in your box, relocation might be the ticket…it needs to be between 10 and 25 feet off the ground, mine are 18’, with no obstructions underneath…no trees or high places for raptors to wait to ambush them if at all possible, at least 30+ feet away is preferable…face the box to the east or southeast to catch the morning sun, their body temperature is like 105 degrees, so they like it HOT! After that, wait. My first box was up four years before I saw bats, though judging by the numbers I saw then, they had probably been there awhile before I noticed. On the other hand, I know people who practically had bats circling while they were putting their box up! One other thing…do you know what kind of wood your box is made of? Despite most boxes being made of cedar, the old timer who made mine told me that cedar and other aromatic oils in some types of wood is bad for their young, which can lead to them avoiding it. Hope this helps, let me know if you have any other questions or if you start seeing bats. Stay Safe!

@@DEADorALIVEkayaking Thank you for the reply. I put the box on the side of the house high on the gable end. I have learned a lot since then and I am looking for an appropriate location. My landscape has changed quite a bit since Hurricane Michael. SS - S

Hi, Travis! I wasn’t sure how I was going to like it at first…that seat’s pretty high!…but it actually handled really well. I only had it for a couple days, but I’ll hit Pepper up sometime to see if she’ll let me use it again. I think she’s been plotting on how she wants to add a trolling motor to it, too! Stay Safe!

@@DEADorALIVEkayaking I've been playing around with a trolling motor too! Trying to decide on a good place to put it.

😅 Nice catch! Southern accents are fun, sometimes! Thanks for watching, and Stay Safe!

@@EarthTrips It’s nice…and a good bit higher than what I’m used to, but that’s part of where all that 41” wide stability shines! Stay Safe!

😂

Your bull shark

@@heathwatford1737I knew what you meant! L. They look very similar…the Whale Shark is obviously bigger, but looks pretty close to an upscaled Bull Shark.ill be back home next weekend, and I’ll see about getting a side by side pic and posting it on my community page. Thanks for watching, and Stay Safe!

62 in a few months, been thinking about eventually growing up, too! Thanks for watching, and Stay Safe!

Hi, Travis! It's a pretty river, you'll enjoy it! Stay Safe!

Hi, and thanks for watching! The Sepulga is a great place for fossil hunting, as is the Conecuh, right below Point A dam! I also have close friends that fossil hunt on Econfina Creek in Florida. Good luck with the hunt, thanks again for watching, and Stay Safe!

That’s an excellent idea! Thanks for watching, and Stay Safe!

Thank you…Stay Safe!

@@seanpainter4664 They’re actually a very healthy colony. Since they overwinter here, too, rather than migrating elsewhere with bats from other colonies, my larger concern for them is something like whitenose killing them while hibernating. Thanks for watching, Stay Safe!

2 houses up there, they hold about 200 each. Thanks for watching, and Stay Safe!

LOL…pretty sure that WAS Robin! Stay Safe!

Close!…Great sister-in-law! Thanks for watching, and Stay Safe!

😂😂

Each house is about 14” x 20” x 5”, and has 4 chambers…for Little Brown Bats, which is what these are, they hold about 200 apiece. Thanks for stopping by, and Stay Safe!

@@DEADorALIVEkayaking wow thanks for info

@@ryanstreet7565 Thank you! We enjoy having them around. Stay Safe!

@@Davewutsup Hi, and thanks for watching! This was the first time we’ve rescued a baby bat, the rest could fly but just accidentally ended up on the ground for whatever reason and usually just require a toss up to get them right. If we ever have to rescue another baby, though, I’ll keep that in mind. Stay Safe!

It would have died. They could have even gave it drops of light sugar water, to help it recover quicker

@@salahali9883 We have a symbiotic relationship with them…I provide them a safe place to live, they reduce insect populations and are entertaining to watch. If I need to shepherd a wayward or stranded bat now and then, they nor I mind it a bit. Stay Safe!

Hi, and thanks for watching! Both houses have a baby-saver “shelf”…and despite having to rescue a bat here and there that accidentally wound up on the ground (they can’t take off like birds, so if they end up on the ground they have to climb to be able to get airborne again)…this one was the first baby I’ve had to rescue in the several years they’ve lived here. Usually scooping them up and tossing them into the air is all they need, this one was just obviously too young to fly, and was likely just too adventurous for his own good. Stay Safe!

Thanks for watching, Thomas, glad you liked it. If I used it a lot, the only thing I’d do different is extend the forward legs all the way through the scupper holes so they could be pinned from the underside. As is, leaning back too far pulls the legs clear of the scuppers, and can tip you backwards…ask me how I know that! LOL. Stay Safe!

When I started up, some of the bats had already exited the house, and some had gone back inside. There were none at the entrance like they had been earlier, when the stranded baby was trying to climb…I went slow because I didn’t want to scare or upset those remaining inside and end with a face full of panicked bats for my trouble! Thanks for watching, and Stay Safe!

It is! In Point A Park there is a swimming area with a “beach” a little ways away from the boat ramp. Depending on how old the kids are…pretty sure there’s no lifeguard on duty, but there are tables and restrooms. Thanks for stopping by, and Stay Safe!

LOL…not sure of the proper pronouns for baby bats. Thanks for watching, and Stay Safe!

Hi, and thanks for watching…Stay Safe!

Hi, and thanks for watching. I haven’t had any problem with the rudder binding on the Bull Shark. The next time I have it out, I’ll try to recreate your problem and see if a solution presents itself. Is it the rudder post that’s getting sand in it or the steering cables? Stay Safe!

High-rise bat cave! LOL. Stay Safe!

They’re actually a pretty healthy colony, but we do keep the kids and the dogs away from under the houses…and the mosquitoes they tear through every night have much more potential to spread disease than they do. Thanks for watching, and Stay Safe!

Thank you, and thanks for watching…Stay Safe!

Das ist dieses Jahr zum dritten Mal passiert, zum ersten Mal war meine Schwester dort, um ein Video zu machen. Da die Fledermäuse bei uns leben, würden wir uns ohne Videokameras um sie kümmern. Bleib sicher!

Hi, Brad, and thanks for watching. Good question! I'd think if it was sick and they ejected him from the colony, they'd just do it again. But, I also think the entire colony wouldn't have shown up with such concern when he was trying to regain the box by himself. I did what I could do for him/them, but if he was put out intentionally, he will be again and probably wouldn't survive nearly as long as he did out of the box a second time. We'll see. Stay Safe!

LOL I'm happy if he's even keeping someone else's yard skeeter free! Thanks for watching, and Stay Safe!

Agreed! In all the years since I put up the first house, this is the second time I've been up the ladder to it...first time was installing the 2nd house up there. Other than that, I just watch them coming out in the evenings. Thanks for watching, and Stay Safe!
