the ducktape trick saved my day, blew a gasket at the put in and was able to repair it and boat for the day. Funny stuff guys!

[@JerKayaks]

Haha it is truly useful! I've seen duct tape fix boats, drysuits, skirts, everything! Thanks for watching!

[@brettanie._]

Love that I've witnessed the bread loaf 😂 this is my new favorite video for sure lol. You guys are the best 🫶🏼

[@JerKayaks]

Haha thanks for watching! River bread is the best!

[@forestkan6653]

love this!! ! more!!!

[@JerKayaks]

Haha we had so much fun making this! We'll be making a part 2 someday for sure!

Another strap trick alternative I learned recently is to daisy chain both straps together. Put both straps parallel to each other and start daisy chaining. This way they will always be in pairs the way we use them. No searching for two 15 foot straps individually. Just another option. I still roll mine for space reasons.
Love the hot dog one btw. Nasty water though, LOL!

[@KZ-yu4jz]

Nice tips. I can see hot soup. Not sure about the hotdogs with "broth" :)

[@JerKayaks]

That broth was quite gross haha! Soup might be the better choice next time! Thanks for watching!

Swapping shoulders without stopping while hiking makes portaging so much easier
