KAYAK CAMPING gear - What I take on the Hobie Lynx
I kayak out of a Hobie Lynx and when i go on a Kayak camping trip unlike most kayaks that have lots of storage options either in the hull on on deck the Hobie Lynx is different. In this video I will show you how I transport all my gear specifically when I am on a Kayak camping style trip.
Although the Lynx is a lightweight kayak and more like a SUP than a kayak it is still a real workhorse. Check out my Kangaroo Valley kayak and Camp trip to see what I mean.

This video shares the type of gear I take on a trip. The gear has to be compact but also good enough to make for a comfortable and safe trip.
I recently uncovered at home a huge pelican case that I used for my Underwater Camera housing and on my next trip I will use it to carry the majority of my gear. A big benefit is that the Pelican case is waterproof and weatherproof and built like a tank, so it will keep all my gear dry and secure. At the camping spot I just unclip it and carry up to set up my camping area.
On a previous trip I just used a Tub which did the job but was not waterproof. See it in the video.
My next video will show all of this gear in action on the trip.

2 person tent and poles and pegs
2 sleeping bags
2 sleeping mats
2 pillows
cooking gear - Jetboil and ceramic pot

Surprising how much it will hold. Our Lynx has a full yeti cooler on the back, a 9 year old kid peddling, and 200 lbs me sitting on the bow with it still stable. Steering did get wonky. Kayak trips always forget something. I bet they forget the kayak paddle.

The Lynx is a real workhorse. I agree, it can handle a tonne of gear and handles well even when loaded up. Great for kayak camping or taking gear for a picnic or BBQ 👍🏼
