Good video except for one thing... if u wrap your pump in your paddle float then u will have to RESTOW ur pump while in swimming, in shock at a bailout, while also holding on to your paddle.and the float . A good way to lose your pump, Float, paddle ..... suggest they are stowed separately
Still clutch for people getting into sea kayaking today! Thanks for this amazing video 🤙
Marine VHF radio is class licensed. To be in the class you need a marine radio operators certificate of proficiency. No licence or fee is required.
Great video thank you. I am new to kayaking and this has been the most in depth video I have seen yet.
In my opinion this is a great posting as to what is needed to be best prepared for any possible situation on the water in a seakayak. I found that list to be very informative. Well done Eastcoast.
This is a bit dated but still really good information and advice
Hey man tnx for the very interesting informative video love what you are doing I just got my kayak I’m very keen on going out definitely going to look at a magnetic compas
nice little video. Thanks. A couple of comments..not sure about rolling the paddle float on the outside of the pump. If you need to use the pump you are going to have to first unwrap it and then you are going to have to deal with the flappy paddle float. Could waste valuable time in an emergency. Also the hand toggles are going to be very dangerous in surf and rough water as they do not extend past the bow and stern of the kayak.
I agree about the paddle float but would like to know more about your reasoning that the toggles would be dangerous in surf and rough water, the only time I have used the toggles on the water has been a toggle tow of a capsized paddler to get immediate clearance from rocks before re-entry, in which case a direct handhold to the bow (toggle longer than the boat) would be an advantage but not a necessity - similarly, having a swimmer hold onto the bow in rough water while I empty their boat would work OK with the toggle in the high position. Am I missing something (this is not a troll or catch-out but a genuine question - thanks)?
think about the boat rolling through 360 degrees along its length. if the toggle extends past the bow and stern your hand, wrist and arm is free from the rolling boat and you can hold the toggle and maintain contact with your boat. alternatively if the toggle does not extend past the boat u risk either injury as your hand, wrist will come in contact with your boat and attempt to drag you over with it causing injury or force u to let go thus lrtting your boat float free. neither are good options. in surf there can be large forces and things move quickly. anyway... try it yourself. also look at a nigel dennis boat. you will see the toggles are threaded at the extreme end of the boat for this reason. while they can be used to carry a boat on land (but better a firm grip under bow and stern) tjey are safety devices that work in conjunction with your deck lines to ensure you dont lose your boat. anyway... that is my experience. good luck and hope this is helpful. and remember with free advice you get what u pay for. work it out yourself on the water by doing your safety drills and see what works for u. hope this all makes sense. cheers
This was super helpful!
Right on! Great vid!

Might be an older vid but this was short, simple & straight to the point covering alot of good points thanks m8!
What compass do you use?
FFS bring a separate compass for your pfd if your boat sinks
I used to think having one of those was a silly idea but having one does allow you to orient yourself to land features without having to turn the kayak to face them. I'd use a better compass than one of those shitty orienteering ones though.
@@jasoncole7711 its also good to have if you lose your boat
That hatch cover at 4:05 looks pretty flimsy and the way it is held down is even worse. But...you have all those signal devices to bring rescue so I guess it is OK : )
Same hatch cover survived nearly a month being battered around in the Tasman Seas.
Anyone know a name or make of the sunglass strap with case in loop?
Hi! I bought such strap for sunglasses in Decathlon sport equipment store. Also they had sunglasses with cases.
With all that gear you must have to tow another kayak behind you for storage
can you sent the list of the material?
Or even write it in comments? Thanks!
what are the zip ties for ?
And be sure to file a float plan! In about 60 seconds with thefloatplanapp com Be safe out there!
You won't have enough room to get in it😉👍
My god man kayak skills so you don't need any of that deal. Skills will keep you safe that junk won't.
I was perfect once, just like you.
@@yru435 I had to re-watch the video as it was from a year ago I saw it. All the crap he carries is worthless without kayaking skills. The amount of safety gear he carries is crazy. Sure if you on some expedition maybe. BUT this video will instill confidence in people who have zero skills. Spend your money on training rather than all this crap. I doubt you were ever as perfect as me. lol.
@@dc9mm2most of what is listed/spoken about in the vid is legally required. And the East Coast guys have done plenty of Bass Strait crossings where you really should be carrying all that anyway.
