There must be someone out there who has tried to put a #TuckTec kayak on a #HipStar hiking carrier......

Did it work?

I've spent more time in or on this lake (ok... It's a river... Just don't tell them that) this week than the entire decades I've been coming up here.

A friend of mine wanted to know how my #TuckTec folding #Kayak goes together, so I took pictures, and I might as well share them here.

It going by the timestamp of these pictures, it took 13 mins, but subtract a few mins for taking pictures. And this is only my 3rd time assembling it, so I can probably get this down to well under 10. Definitely less time and work than getting a fixed boat on/off a car.

I really think the design is pretty brilliant.

The world needs fewer smart people working on BS like LLM's and more of them designing clever *fun* things like folding kayaks.

What a great Saturday

Only actually had to drag *one* boat over 100 yards of sand because the other boat we used was a #Tucktec folding kayak. This was my first time actually trying the thing out. I'm really pretty impressed by this thing. It works pretty well as a boat and setup/put-away time is pretty quick (I suggest doing a practice run the day before). I'm also impressed just by the cleverness of the design--for example, the shoulder strap you carry it with ends up being what holds the seat in place when it's put together.

It's also cool that a boat company got started via Kickstarter.
