don't do this - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

One thing you may want to consider if you are consistently driving onto the beach is to buy a GOOD tow strap(meaning sewed ends, not metal hooks as they can become dangerous projectiles) available many places on line or at Off Road warehouse. Then when you are stuck you can have it out and ready and I wont have to get mine out, sandy and wet. I have never turned down towing someone out of a situation unless they have no tow points, but I really appreciate someone who is prepared!

thanks guys for all the pointers. regards to the tow strap; i have actually purchased and put it on my check list of items to bring for my kayak.
but if the sand is really soft, i'll be using my pull chart. lessoned learned on this one.

Last year I pushed more people out of the sand then I want to tell You about.

-If you see a guy hauling a Kayak on his vehicle - and He is Stuck - Please Help the Poor Bastard.
After all He is one of Us.

I can't say the same for AZ Plated Mini Vans, but thats up to you.
