looks very cool
Thanks for the shout out. Actually, several customers say that despite all the functional benefits, having the "cool factor" on the ramp is their favorite part of owning a Freedom Launcher. People are watching what they are doing and wondering "how did they just do that?". Being on a busy ramp for me is like going through TSA. Moving on quickly gets me to my happy place with less stress.
Hey, thanks for tuning into this video Will shared with me. If you want to check out the Freedom Launcher, come visit our website at wilderside.life. We have solutions for Native and Old Town models as well. So excited to see happy customers enjoying their sport with less hassle, more on-the-water time!
And that (my friends) is how it's done!
Will did ham it up!
Wow I need to get a set of them for my Kayaks
What make and model are you floating?
@@wildersidegear two lost creeks the 10.5 and the 12’
Looks very easy to use, but I’d be afraid of hull cracking. Also the squeaks sound like a small dog so need some lubricant in there.
Lastly, holy wow ~$800?!
Haha,, that was a small dog!
@@wildersidegear haha well I knew it! 😅
I got to tell you, I would buy this in a heartbeat if it was a lot less expensive, but even though I’m not a cheapo I just can’t justify $800. it’s simply not a competitive price point unfortunately… And I’m saying this as someone who came from a consumer products manufacturing background.
I want some of those......at 58 these peddle kayaks are not getting any lighter...👍 👍 🇨🇦
I asked my first Pelican Catch customer of he felt the Freedom Launcher was worth it. He thought for a few seconds…and then replied, “My back is happy… now I only take one trip to the ramp. You gotta take care of yourself, money well spent!”
I went with a trailer. Harbor Freight. $700 was a big stretch for me.
Rick, I respect that. For some, a trailer is absolutely the right solution. Others don't have room in their garage or property for a trailer. Paying $80-100 bucks a month for storage adds up pretty quickly (ask how I know!). Some of my customers only have a pickup and then a hoist system in their garage to get the kayak out of the way. I'm glad you are happy with your trailer solution. Each person has to figure out what works for their situation.
Now your just showing off!!
Will is my first PA customer... and super stoked about the product!! He has game ;)
I like those wheels better than the sidekick for how easy it was to rotate them up out of the water!! I need this ..sidekicks landing wheels almost impossible to move in the water because of upward buoancy pressure
Thanks... glad you like them. If you want to hear what my customers are saying about this product, here is one of them on Google Reviews just published last week. David from NC in in OT AP 136.
maps.app.goo.gl/CLYSe1WBZQgtPz5j8 You will see other reviews there as well. What's your kayak model? Come to wilderside.life to check us out and order. We ain't cheap, but will make you happy you switched. Or send it back for a full refund. (that ain't happened yet!).

nice setup had a similar idea im a poorman kayaker a dyi guy i used trailer jacks from harbor freight had to do some tweaking
but it works well on my native but not near as nice as your setup.
I enjoy talking shop with fellow dyi guy. I’d love to see a pic of your setup
Man i really like the Wheels man. I need to get me a set for my kayak. & i really really like your flip-flops 🩴man. That is all that I wear. I don't own a pair of shoes or socks at all. I am either barefooted 👣 or in flip flops 🩴. I am a huge huge huge fan of flip flops 🩴 i am a flip-flops guy. What kind of flip flops 🩴 are you wearing cuz i need a new pair for kayaking & i am looking for a pair right now. I would appreciate the information. Good video buddy. Thanks you for sharing this video.
Hey Mack, those were crocs in the video. The wheels are the Freedom Launcher from Wilder Side. Thanks for the feedback!
Brilliant
Will practices 3-4 times a week… he’s still a fan ;)
Hey it’s County Park !
Do you go there often?
@@wildersidegear I do, I live 20min from Clear Lake so fish it a lot from kayak
Time will show that haul will crack
Maybe…. or maybe not. 50+ launches on that exact kayak… some over muddy rough terrain, and hull is in great shape. We do things different than our competition….
$700? Yeah right, you have $50 in materials maximum for something that wouldn’t be that hard to make at home. Ridiculous
Send me a picture of your $50 solution once you make it! I love new ideas.
$800?! Are you kidding me?! Yes, I can afford it, but no way would I pay 1/2 that. I paid that for my Right-On kayak trailer, and $100 for a used 'yak cart that fits my Hobie PA 14. If I can get my truck within a 100 yds, then I can get my Hobie there too.
You sound happy with your setup. I’m so glad it’s working for you.
Hey! I know this ramp!
I hope to go there!
