    I’m lucky I found this video! I tried a few different flat straps and the length was always too long and my cooler was sliding around. Thank you!!

    Great idea Trip. Here's how to make it better. YOU make a 1 inch to 2 inch or so buckle for the cooler. That way, you connect the 1 inch side to the cooler and use 2 inch velcro straps. Your handy around the shop. Make it happen.👍👍👍

    Just bought my first kayak and this just so happens to be one of my questions. Thanks so much for sharing

    Another option to make adjusting even easier on one side add a rectangle ring.

    HF cinch strap > hook and loop Velcro. Used it for cooler and Larry chair on my kahuna.

      Doing great James! Glad you were able to get some paddle time in. A gimble mount on a stick? I have a few different things I use, check them out in the Amazon store - sailingandsuch.com/amazon-store/
      Also here is a video I talk about all my camera mounts - ruclips.net/video/WF8zDxHq404/видео.html

  • @charliestrickland5730
    @charliestrickland5730 7 лет назад

    Trip do they make a pad eye that it 3/4 in wide that will accept the strapping. If they don't someone should make them. That is a super easy attachment method. Great idea

    • @TripSmith
      @TripSmith  7 лет назад

      Hmmmm, donno. If they do it may have to be metal so that it wouldn't break. I'll do some looking around. It works!

    • @charliestrickland5730
      @charliestrickland5730 7 лет назад

      SailingandSuch scratch that.! Found them at iboats. They are metal.

    I like the Nite Ize Cam Jams!! Not as cheap as Velcro...

    • @TripSmith
      @TripSmith  7 лет назад

      I like the cleats to, but the velcro is easier, lighter and I don't have to worry about as much during transport/storage either.

    I believe that “loop, idk clip” is referred to as a tie down point!

    hhhhhhhhmmmmmm bet that would be good to secure fishing rods on the side or inside of the kayak instead of behind me. I always seem to hit them when I cast.......

    • @TripSmith
      @TripSmith  7 лет назад +1

      Oh yea, I'm sure it would be pretty good for that. Get ya a roll bud.

    Velcro meets sand. Hmmm . . . not so much

    • @TripSmith
      @TripSmith  4 года назад

      I donno, never had an issue. Usually sand doesn't have a chance to get up there.

    Hi Tripp, I like your channel and think you are one heck of a dude. I subscribe to your channel. I give a thumbs up for every video I watch. I am not in a position to donate money .There are plenty of other ways to make money besides patreon and the like. Have you tried getting companiy sponsorship? Charge a guide fee for someone who wants to go kayaking with you. The channels that make great money off of youtube have a ton of followers. Why not work to try to increase your subscriber base?
    The whole paying for youtube content for me ruins the community aspect of your videos.
    Would you ask your family and friends to donate to your patreon account for you to make youtube videos?
    Thanks for listening. I think you are an awesome person and I enjoy what you do. There will no doubt be some people who will flame me for this post. If they do, then so be it.
    If you ask me to remove it, I will respectively do so. All the Best.

    • @TripSmith
      @TripSmith  7 лет назад

      Thanks bud! Glad you enjoy the videos and thanks for the consistent thumbs up! Nah, no need to remove the comment ✌
      I totally understand not everyone is in a position where they can support. You're right, there are other ways to make money. Sponsorships - Yes, I have tried to get sponsorships and I have even turned down sponsorships. They can sometimes be hurtful to a channel. I could take on a few sponsors that I have been offered but I turned some down because the products weren't quite good enough quality or because the sponsors asked for to much and I didn't want a sponsorship to take away from the videos. I don't want my videos to become commercials, at least not by companies that I wouldn't feel 100% about promoting.
      I've reached out to some reputable companies but haven't been successful in getting a sponsorship. At my size though most sponsorships are just a trade for gear, not financial sponsorships.
      I don't think it ruins things to ask for support. As someone stated in a comment already, $1 a month isn't bad. We frequently tip more than that at restaurants for a single dinner.
      I beleive in Patreon and don't think it's a bad thing. I actually support someone on Patreon myself.
      Nah, I don't think people will flame ya, everyone is pretty nice around here.
      I do appreciate you comment though, it's allowed me
