DIY Kayak Emergency Repair Kit

In this video, I walk you through how you can build your own emergency kayak repair kit for under $20 bucks! Don't make the same mistake I did and find yourself 8 miles downriver with a cracked hull and nothing to repair it with! I'll show you everything you need to repair holes and cracks in emergency situations while out of the water.

Thanks for this! I work with a small kayak company in Santa Cruz, CA, and am putting together a similar emergency repair kit.
Perhaps it would be helpful to list the items by function, and go into a bit more detail for more expensive items without great substitutes.
In my case, specifically, I'm trying to decide on an ideal waterproof container for the whole thing, and curious about the two non-standard lighters you include.

Thank you for watching! That’s a good idea on the list. You can find lighters like the ones I shared if you search on Amazon for torch lighters or cigar lighters. I think the container was from Walmart. I just keep this lot in my dry bag that always goes with me when I kayak. I also recommend that people do a little plastic welding practice. You need to be careful you don’t burn a hole in your kayak and make things worse.

I wonder if a roll of flex seal tape would work

It might, I’ve never tried it. If you try it and have luck with it let me know!
