    Kelly, your Kayak vids have really caught my attention! I've been wanting to get back into fishing for quite some time. A Kayak similar to the one you have seems to be perfect for what I am looking at. So, I'm doing my research, taking my time, but looking at buying me one of these rascals so I can get out there and enjoy some mountain lakes this summer! Thank you!

    • @kellyhays23
      @kellyhays23  3 роки тому +1

      i highly recommend it! It was such a good purchase! I actually think I am going to start getting into fishing, especially now since I have the boat for it! a fresh fish fillet over the campfire sounds like heaven!

    If your gone do van life you should look in to getting a packraft. They basically like inflatable kayaks but when there not aired up they roll up in to the size of roll of paper towels or a sleeping bag. They can get kind of expensive but if your gone do van life its much more compact easy to fit in to a van then a regular Kayak. Also you can actually fit this on to a backpack along with all your camping gear. So if you wanted to hike your way up river on a trail and then paddle back down you can.
    If your interested in possible doing this look in to alpacka packrafts or Kokopelli those are top two brands in the US. Just something to think about any way.

    Deff recommend getting a pair of quality cam straps. Id say either NRS or Yakattack. There both awesome straps but you cant get them tight enough to hurt the hull. Great video girl. Awesome

    Nice video. I just sold my 80 lb kayak for an UL. Can’t wait to get it. If I could make one suggestion... use cinch straps instead of ratchet straps. Especially on hot days. It’s too easy to warp or crack a kayak with the power of a ratchet strap.

    • @kellyhays23
      @kellyhays23  3 роки тому +1

      Blinderb yes I have some of those straps too. If I use the ratchet straps I make sure it’s not too hot and I park in the shade! I saw a video on the crescent Facebook page of the damage some ratchet straps did to this one woman’s kayak!

    We picked up a pair she got the ultra I got the light. We're both love to fish. There both great floats. However if you're a bigger guy I would recommend getting the 12 ft light tackle. Crescent makes the absolute best floats hovering around the $1,000 mark.

    I got stranded at Cow Shoals and spent the night on an island full of bugs. The water started rising from the dam at Heber Springs and caught me. I went head over keister down river and made it to the other shore. The horn could not be heard that far downstream. I waded back out at six the next morning. Glad to be alive. I was trout fishing with chest waders.
