Nice! The TowNStow BarCart and Bunkster were in development for longer than we wanted but it took going the extra mile to truly uncover the special features that make the TowNStow family of kayak carts unique.

Pro tip. Instead of a changing mat get a cheap rubber floor mat. You can also use it to stabilize a folding chair on sand. Rolls up nice and tight in the well when you're done. Save$$$

Love my deck pod 2. Holds a 3 litter camel back bladder. Well worth it

@cieljek 9 ай бұрын

The deck pod is one of my favorite things! Hoping to get the Astrals for Christmas 😂

Those packing cubes look amazing. I've started using regular ones for kayak-camping trips, but I've wanted waterproof ones for a while.

For local paddling of my inflatable kayaks I always use a manual pump. However, for traveling, I have the Airbank Puffer Pro. It does the job, seems very reliable, and what's most important, takes much less space than a manual pump. A good piece of gear. 👍

Calling it now, Itiwit X500 is getting an award. Kayak of the year, maybe?

How's the weight on that zenbivy sleep system compared to a standard mummy bag?

@nunyabidness3075 9 ай бұрын

It all depends. All the hiking equipment sites have weights for their equipment these days. If you are comfortable in a mummy likely stick with it. If not, the zenbivy or other quilt system allows more movement and better temperature control. I have the zenbivy and love it. I bought the regular weight one and put it over a very insulated pad. For below freezing temps I wear fleece for sleeping. My wife slept in her puffy when it got in the low 20’s. We were cozy. For winter you will want the heavier version and perhaps a foam mat under your air mattress.

I had assumed the Astral shoes are pronounced like low-yak, like low-cut kayak shoes?

You're probably right! :)

That NRS dry suit is at a premium. $1295 yikes.

@rumitcu 9 ай бұрын

If you compare kayaking costs to other sports (golf, skiing, etc), then it doesn’t seem so bad. Yes, it is a lot of money, but kayaking doesn’t have a recurring cost to perform the activity, which really helps. In Colorado, a drysuit makes all the difference in being able to kayak safely throughout the year, which is more fun and helps with getting better at the sport.

@@rumitcu oh I want it and probably will get it but it’s still a shock. The one with a hood is $1500
