  Are the snake skins help keep water from following the line/the hammock is attached to the tree? My daughter’s birthday is coming and that one thing she wants.

  Snake skins are essentially a fancy stuff sacks. What you are looking for is a Drip Strip which attaches to the Trunk Strap to divert water from the hammock.

  I thought you weren't supposed to secure to the roof rails... Only to the J Hooks??🤔

• 
  @BillJacksonsShopforAdventure11 күн бұрын

  Athough the J saddles have a way to do so, we beleive that the crossbars are more secure. We do not recommend to attach to the roof rails.

  Like others I rewatch this video every year before we head out. I would like to see better instructions on the bow line tie down. When tieing down the bow of the kayak it is zoomed in too tight and and can't figure out what of the lines you are putting the trucker's loop in. I eventuall figure it out thru trial and error, but I would like to see where all 3 pieces of vertical line are. TY

  I don’t care what anyone says I’m using ratchet straps. I just simply throw it on the crossbars and strap er down. It won’t go anywhere. Yes it’s important not to go too tight but if you do it upside down it’s really not putting much pressure anywhere on the kayak.

  It’s not important what kind of strap is used for the bowline. Although a flat strap can have some vibration so give it a twist.

  2:15 Centre of kayak is actually where the seat is located if you don't have side handles tying to the top bend of the J cradle bar puts torque on the plastic bracing the sits on the roof rack. You are basically strapping the kayak on one side only, pulling the top of the J cradle against the rooftop cross bar. This can cause failure as all the pressure is on the plastic shoe or brace and this can come apart from the crossbar. I had a very dangerous situation where the cradle fell apart and almost lost the kayak on the highway. Dangerous especially for other vehicles. Twists in straps also become concentrated pressure points on your kayak or paddle board -- recommend flat.

  Oh yes that bow line is extremely important. One of mine and my siblings first times out kayaking we didn't tie a bow line. Both kayaks slid from under their cinch straps and off the back off my car in the m8ddle of town. We're lucky it didn't cause a wreck or ruin our kayaks... we also used a bow line after that.

  I wish you would explain those loops under the hood - are they tied in there? Are they little bungies? if not what are they? How are they attached? Thanks for the video!! Very clear and helpful

• 
  @brantbowers7796 Жыл бұрын

  Loops under the hood are attached to a secure point which varies by make and model of vehicle. They are utility cord which has minimal stretch. It is best to avoid tying to points that could cut through the cord or places which are plastic that could break. When not in use, the cords can be tucked under the hood. I hope this helps you with this one point that lacked clarity. Happy Adventures!

  How long should the bow/stern line be? Trying to cut a length of rope to make one.

• 
  @BillJacksonsShopforAdventure Жыл бұрын

  Length is determined by size of boat/SUP and vehicle. Most bow/stern line kits are adequate for most situations. Remember that the bow/stern line doesn't need to be tight. The purpose of them is to counter lift.

  Good Video. I don't like any ropes with metal hooks tying down the bow and stern, as they can scratch your car and boat,. Just use a normal rope with a trucker's hitch. Both bow and stern lines should always be used.

  Do you need to add a Bow Line on the back of the car??

• 
  @BillJacksonsShopforAdventure Жыл бұрын

  It is recommended, but sometimes (particularly in the case of a SUP) there's nothing from which to tie. This is why SUP's are placed stern forward as they always have a leash attachment point. This avoids the dynamic of lift as you drive down the highway. The rear attachment to the car counters forward/upward momentum in the event of an accident.

  Is the bow line supposed to be that loose or was it just a demonstration

• 
  @BillJacksonsShopforAdventure Жыл бұрын

  Good question. The purpose of the bowline is to counter upward lift of the kayak or SUP on the rack. It should not be slack, but does not have to be tight. I'd say just enough so it doesn't wiggle in the wind as you drive down the road.
