We need to go up to VT to pick up a canoe from her aunt but haven’t yet figured out a roof rack situation for the Sentra if anyone has any tips.

I know it’s on the heavier side, but a budget option is trawling Craigslist for a big ol aluminum Grumman or Alumicraft canoe, which can be had for $100-200, depending on where you are. They’re indestructible and basically flip-proof; my friend overturned his truck and trailer of 8 such canoes on the freeway and he only needed to patch two. My fiancée and I are capable of hefting them onto said trailer. Also they can hold all of your camping gear and let the pupper walk around a bit.

I just need shorter paddles My friend had a lot of fun taking his kayak down the snowed over the very tall steps of a park in my city until he got to the very bottom, tried to stop against a wall and broke nine bones in his leg and foot. We then dutifully dog-sledded him to the ER. Kayaks are great on the snow.

I have a canoe transportation question. I have a very generic sedan and transporting it is tough because there are no good tie down points in the front or back. Yesterday I tried using generic hood and trunk loops (with the little nylon loops sticking out of rubber cylinders) and none of them managed to stay secured in the hood or trunk. Is there a brand that has loops with bigger/sturdier/more reliable anchors?

Casual Encountess posted:honestly i was gonna see how much it would suck to affix some led strips to the gunwales. retroreflective is a good call tho. Hell yeah you rock. You'd always be welcome in our Brooklyn dirtbag wharf rat canoe club. Speaking of, my partner and I just got our own vintage 14' Stowe and are ready to trick it out after watching the Macy's fireworks from the most polluted body of water in the country.

Nth-ing the probably fine. Got my 14' canoe on my 14' sedan (with roof rack, can't tell from that article if the mfgs included that in their calculations) safely down from its old home a few hundred miles away. Just make sure your tie downs are good (pull over to check every couple miles when you first go out) and you have flags if it extends past your bumper.
