Love to see folks making use of "found" objects that otherwise would end up in a landfill! Also love to see someone who incorporates canoeing into their day to day lifestyle!

have been looking at different videos.... but you're design is small, sturdy and simple! Think I'm gonna try it! Thanks for making the video :)

Simple and easy, I like it! The copper fittings were a great idea. Thanks!

I'd be happier paddling if I would have seen this video a few years ago and saved myself well over $100 for a kayak/canoe caddy . . . and mine has inflatable tires which is always a pain to keep inflated. Far lighter and more compact as well, great idea. I bought a Swift Keewaydin 15' last year, what a different experience paddling and back country tripping. I do find it's a wetter paddle as it's hard to get in and out midship but cruising speed is amazing with a kayak paddle. Still prefer the canoe seat though I was very tempted to go with the kayak seat. Still like the traditional paddle when just cruising around. Always an excellent video Martin.

Most excellent, and you are SO fortunate to live so close! Any man who can use and trust this for TWO Swifts...together they cost more than a good used vehicle!.... that's an invention I could trust! I really don't have to have one for my 33lb OT Pack...I've owned it just about 14 years and it's been with me on countless adventures. I can pack and portage the boat and my gear in one trip... although not thru town - that's so cool! I bet people are always thinking for themselves how they can sneak away to paddle when they see you! I was on here looking for a solution for my new to me 17' Grumman Eagle (75 pounds, just the hull) for fishing and paddling trips with my small grandkid. (And more of those to come, I'm sure. ) Well done, sir. And not with just the cart, but the life. Paddle often - it's life!

Excellent build that works great! Mark from Adventure Time Outdoors sent me over and I’m really glad he did. You have a new subscriber. Thanks! Doug

I visualized near exactly this in my head except all copper going to make one up. I see people with these fancy ones and they r large so I wanted something I didnt care about and can just throw in with me. Thanks for the video.

Great idea, now to make one for my mother in law for her very heavy canoe! She's gonna love this!

Thank for this excellent DYI kayka cart idea. I have a baby carriage that I was going to discard. But, guess what I am going to build.

Thanks Martin: Inspiring. I live in a condo & my car is in the central parking area thus I some times leave my canoe on the cvar roof for months at a time. That would sure save an old man a lot of canoe & gear hauling. Brian 78

Thanks for sharing. This was a great informative video. I am planning on building one soon.

Thank you for creating a video for this. This is really helpful.

Definitely on my winter project list.

Thanks for posting this video. Great ides. I'm going to be hunting the curbs side for my wheels.

Very nice , might have to give it a try

I have a Keewaydin 16' with the same colour scheme. Awesome!

Nice! Thanks for sharing.

happy Autumn to you Martin! Thanks for the video

Thanks for the info great vid!

Awesome video my friend! Thanks for sharing! Stay Blessed!

That is a nice cart, thanks.

My cat went nuts at the high-pitched whistling at the start.

It’s an ultralight canoe too! Nice! 👍👍

Excellent 👍

Very handy gadget Martin , I use one for my yak. Have you ever used one on a backcountry Portage?

I was given a Rogue River 14' canoe that weighs (apparently) 89 pounds, so a cart is a necessity. I'm glad you suggested using copper T's at the base; and I'm thinking it might be good for me to put a second PVC crosspiece where you have the tether. Is that ¾" PVC? Any thoughts about using 1" instead (given the weight of my boat)?

I have a half-full oil tank to move, by hand. I'll be adapting the principle of this tool to move it.

Now That, Martin is 1 handy lil rig. Aint U-Tube great for sharing ? Thanks ATB T God Bless

Nice video and cart design ... One question for ya... What diameter size is the pvc you used? Thank you!

Very nice🔔

I made one similar to that and my tees gave up. Good advice to use copper.

Brilliant

Thank you!

5k canoe with DIY cart. I like it hahahaha! Great! I wish I'd seen this video before I bought my cart. Great video, thanks for sharing your knowledge!

thank you

I was wondering if I can use a baby cart by keeping most of the frame??? Juste remove to top portion and the cup holder. Keeping like only the frame and the four wheels

How is the steel alle secure in the pipe , they are different diameters

Great talk, why does your video continuously go dark and light?

My buddy made a similar cart but it was a bit over engineered as his intent was to use it as part of towing a canoe behind a bicycle.

What kind of bird song is that at the beginning? White throated sparrow?

You told us all the obvious things that we can deduce by looking at it, yet you didn't tell us how the axle is supported inside the pvc tube.
