Kayak cart 2.2

The kayak cart might finally be ready to take on the dirt trail at Lone Tree Point.

The unfolded kayak cart
 The kayak now stays put relative to the cart, and the cart still folds and fits easily in the car.


The folded kayak cart
 Total cost: about $10.  The original cart cost $5 at Urban Ore, the new bungees cost $4 (some cheap dips**t stole the old ones off the cart while it was on the beach), and the wood scraps, duct tape, and foam thingies probably cost around a buck.

Edit, 10\8\11:  The cart has been successfully tested on a sandy beach, on a gravelly beach, and on the tiny steep rocky weedy trail between the pier and the beach at Eckley.

5\11\12:  I've made a kayak cart for camping, and details are at http://tedhamiter.blogspot.com/2012/05/stowable-kayak-cart.html.

  1. Excellent DIY project. It would be nice to see the cart being used.
