![How to get BACK IN when your Canoe tips over [SOLO]](/img/1.gif)
Lady, I like your style! Much respect from an old boy that was taught to make do and mend and like you I find alternative uses for everything I look at!
You are absolutely FREAK'N AMAZING!!! I need someone like you in my life.... :-), actually..... WE ALL need someone like you in our lives. Thank you for sharing and posting.
Outstandingly creative and useful. I especially appreciated the sink plug mod.
Love the video I love seeing people get creative and upcycle. Nice to see someone who knows how to take other peoples broken stuff and turn it into treasure! Congrats on your rigged out kayak keep it up!
Dog leash anchor cable. That is an idea so good it should be for sale in retail stores! Good on ya!
I saw a walking stick with a camera mount at Ross a few months ago (2020).
I really like the dog leash anchor system and the stake out pole light system, the sink drain is a great idea. thanks
I have to admit, I love your ingenuity!
Very interesting ideas that I will be sure to keep in mind as I set mine up. Very impressed with the self reeling leash idea... Thanks for sharing!
Really nice idea to mount a dog-leach to a kayak. I would never thought of that idea! Thanks for the inspiration!
+Magnus Persson Thank you for your positive comment. Glad to know it has inspired someone because inspiring others is my primary objective.
You are impressive and I enjoy your attitude, ingenuity, and frugality.
Thank you.
Great use of ingenuity. Hats off to yah. Gave me plenty of ides to do to my new, well new to me, kayak.
WOW!!! What fantastic ideas for budget additions to a kayak.. Keep up the good work..
I’m learning some amazing things from you! Thank you so much for all of your great ideas!!! ❤️
Your AWESOME!. You're my kind of girl.
I just got a kayak and this video is great - lots of great ideas.
I'm looking forward to viewing other videos of yours....
Loved this video. I've just bought my first kayak and you have gave me some great ideas.
lots of great ideas!
Great mods! Very creative and beautifully executed!
Love the ideas. Very creative.
I really like the idea of using the retractable leash (inside) the kayak... Only mod I did with that is that I used a carabiner clip and on my anchor trolley I used a larger ring.
For your light/pole. Get PVC just a hair larger than the hole and heat it with a heat gun and slide it in the hole for a perfect water tight fit. I USE PVC FOR EVERYTHING!
I built my complete rudder out of PVC. I use an old ski pole as my steak out pole (they come in pairs!) For mounting anything to a kayak I use bits of plastic cutting board or flattened PVC on the inside to add strength.
ALL CAMERA MOUNTS ARE 1/4 20 THREAD.
I make my own gear tracks too.
I did like and subscribe... Thanks for the great outside the box thinking!
Very cool! I just found your videos and am really impressed! (nothing better than a dog leash, lol, I used one too) happy paddling! what awesome dyi info!!!
Lol that cat at the beginning
i was always raised very spoilt and if i needed something we would go out and buy it. it was never an idea to try and build it but now iam an adult i value videos like this that are so intuitive and huge money savers! if you make any more videos about it you should film the instillation process
+jett gordon thank you for your encouraging remarks. I don't remember a time when I wasn't creating...one of my fav shows on as a kid was McGiver (spelling?) LOL. I was recently in Home Depot picking up fittings for our new furnace installation--when I saw a green lawn sprinkler cover--the green caught my eye LOL (kinda matched my kayak). I looked around a bit and found a flexible light weight end cap cover. I'm going to see if this can be made into a cheap storage cover and compartment/cup holder...I will try to video as much of the process as I can ; ) ...and post it if it works LOL So glad the vids are helping others!
Nice job. You made it your own.
Thank you very much for sharing! You have some really awesome innovations. :-) you're a smart cookie.
Thank you. I love kayaking and my mind never stops trying to create things LOL
Very cool .My only question is if you flip it with all thts in your kayak any entrapment issues?
I was looking at the grip material you used around the top. I tried using carpet grip but couldn't get it to hold. how did you apply them?
Lou - I admire your ingenious spirit. It's always great to see some one take spare parts and make them work for a purpose beyond their original design. As much as I like nice things, spending money to solve a problem is a form of shallow instant gratification. Repurposing, designing and modifying things to make something truly original and practical is whats truly valuable because it builds skills. Have you been to Maker Faire yet?
Hi Lou, I realy enjoyed your creative and recycling ideas you used on your kayak! Just bought one secondhand (very cheap MI 514 Tourer) and was looking for mods and practical DIY-ideas to make it more useable (for fishing for example). It seems like we're quite simular; I love to recycle materials in a proper way, especially fun when you can start thinking out of the box. I started cutting into my kayak today to add an watertight compartement. Still have to plastic-weld it close. Other mods I want are fishingrodholders, camera mount, maybe an ankerline... Maybe I should make a YT-video about it ;) Enjoy your time out on the water and keep those creative idea's coming...
Brilliant and inspirational
By the way, awesome work. I'm just starting to work on mine.
I love your ingenuity. Good video...
Thank you. I'm working on putting together a kayak pod for my river camping paddle next week. I usually tow a small kayak and it's not so smooth paddling...looked into buying a pod but they're as much as buying a kayak...so putting one together...will see if it floats tomorrow LOL
Hi there thanks for theinfo, where did you get your sound tape? Thanks
Pimp my kayak 🤣😂 well done...
some great ideas. some will not stand the harsh elements such as sun and saltwatet
Good info very detailed! Thanks!
Thank you for your support! My mind is always thinking of things to create! Just finished adding a hatch to the front of my kayak and now I'm working on installing a cooler into the back of my kayak. Tired of all add-ons-- like coolers and packs.
What the minimum length for the pole that I can have it without a citation???
how lucky am i , i have just started kayaking and i have found you . thanks i have subscribed . very clever stuff .
Thank you for you kind words of support. I love to create things.
well you obviously have the knack for it so p[lease keep it up and thanks again , Baz
Nice job gave me some ideas thank you
Your a genius, great ideas
Awesome keep up the good work
Nice. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle ... really enjoyed your simple approach to issues everyone has. Great solutions. 1st time seeing you and I subscribed (I don't usually do that). Looking forward to more videos from you.
Thx .... Nick in Redfield Arkansas.
Geez, you're like the MacGyver of kayaking! HA
That's funny because some of my friends jokingly call me that. LOL
That's just what I was thinking!
have you practice flipping that kayak with all those gadgets in deep water ? you will see how all those ropes or line become a spider web around you or even if you can reach the knife to cut them off of you, I would carry a neck knife to be more practical in that case... nothing worse to feel trapped under cold water with all kinds of tether lines floating around or holding you back all tangled... be aware, the more things you put ,the heavier it will get to rescue it,specially that it is a sit in kayak and will fill up with water and heavy tow or even push by swimming,... sorry for my party pooper comment but I am a rescue diver and safety should be always kept in mind because there will be a time that everyone in a kayak will flip over and find out how things get dangerous in a second...good luck!
someone asked about the sound tape but now I don't see the message??? Anyways, I bought it on Amazon and it is self sticking and sticks very well if the area is properly cleaned.
Sweet inexpensive Mods! I cant locate the tape that you mentioned fond on Amazon. Can you possiby share the linkas to where found it? Looks great on your kayak!
Great video thank you
did you add the storage behind the seat? I have a small kayak that is lacking storage space
No Chris. It is an older Heritage and came that way. I did cut a hole, edge it, and drop a cooler into the back of that yak.. LOL You could add a hatch kit to the back of your yak if your at all mechanically inclined.
lol. love it! that dog leash idea was clever as shit. thats great.
The sink drain. Omg, lol... awesome idea... and it looks great.. good video and Thanks for the ideas for the rest of us. Great video also. you need a camera person. mabey , just mabey you could mount the camera on your helpfull cat...lol
Why would anyone dislike this come on
I asked myself the very same question. Love her ingenuity.
Unfortunately, I don't see any new videos in the past 5 years. Hope she's OK.
Frank Tyler thank you for the employee badge pulley idea . It would be lighter. ; )
Good idea!
Amazing imagination
You think like I do; 👍
great video :) i made a video on my kayak mods too. well done
You mention a sail, what video is this in?
Hi, I lost some of the video I shot for the homemade sail video and so I need to shoot some more before I can put it together. Hope to get it up soon...thanx
Are you still kayaking?
You are clearly very sharp. I loved your tips but didn't like the camera angles.
Try backing away from what you are recording. Too close makes it much harder to see!
Upload again
You sound like momo
The Thalt and thand
were you a bag lady in a previous life?
Maybe? Who knows? Where you? LOL
Women at work! If you want ingenuity ask a woman.
Seriously you talk to much
