Massive Dynamic I’m so jealous we have gotten 200” of snow this year. I’m ready for some sunshine. You two have fun kayaking.

Your setup is almost identical to mine. It’s pretty damn close. I hammock, and we have to tote all of our water in the Everglades. Good setup

Very good info.....thank u !

I bought the Ascend 128x. 450 lbs capacity. Between my kayak and my wife’s, and that little floating cooler, I’m convinced that we could get some camping done on the back side of the local big water lake. We could avoid the crowds like that. Now, to convince my wife that it’s feasible……

Interesting video, thanks! However, I would never put my sleeping bag/blanket into the boat protected from water only by that contractor's bag. One little tear will wet your sleeping blanket and ruin your trip. There are so many great dry bags in all sorts of sizes, it doesn't make sense to just throw your sleeping gear and clothes in a bag with tents, stoves and other stuff. Interesting video, though. That little kayak cooler is pretty cool. I recommend you tie it to your kayak using a quick-release knot. There are lots of situations where, even with a short leash, you can quickly find yourself in trouble towing anything behind a kayak. Thanks for the cool video!

swap that water filter for a sawyer squeeze inline on a hydration bladder in a deck bag or just on a smartwater bottle way lighter smaller and more convenient. also a quarter of the price. large dry bags are cheaper every year. its worth getting truly waterproof submersible bags.

Check this: Take a piece of hard plastic, bend it long ways making a hinge however long you need. Then take a heat gun n warm it up at each location of your clamps. Put clamp on and let it create a "lock" at each point. Now you should have a more water tight seal with the bag.

Hope this helps

I would make a rigid tow line using 2 pieces of small diameter pvc pipe of equal length with rope fed through it and attached to two separate points on both the kayak and cooler. Also keep it as short as possible, ideally just enough clearance so it can move with the waves as you go over them.
