    Na. That's for backpacking and kayak trips when I don't have coolers.

    With my raft I have 2 coolers which gives me 210 cubic inches of ice and cold food.

    and 4 total dry boxes to keep everything handy and available.

    One large one for pantry items

    one large one for gear

    And 2 smaller ones in my foot well for warm clothes, repair kit, extra shades, solar charger, speaker, z drag, hygiene kit, first aid kit, and a bunch of other stuff. One of my dry boxes will house a mandolin for camp concerts. On the trip there will be 5 musicians.


    Edit: these two are always accessible to me and house the most used/coveted items.

    I also only use watershed drybags. And use a total of 3. They have a bomber zipper seal at the opening then roll it closed and run a strap over it.

    one for tent in case it has to get packed up wet

    one for clothes and all other sleeping items, sheets,pillows, etc...

    and a small one for my camera.

    The two blue ones are watershed.

    Never been a fan of a coozy, but the girls bought this one for me.

    So I added the @ToyoMafia roll out crew slap to make it mine and cover the yeti logos.

    Just getting home from a really busy Friday night. Sitting here staring at my list and wondering what I'm going to forget...

    One more double shift tomorrow.

    It's about damn time.

    Hopefully you shove off, that feeling you get when you’re floating, and no longer tied to the earth washes over you, you become part of the current, and you forget…… double shifts.

    Hell yeah guys.

    Home. Just organizing a few food items and plan on being on the road to my friend's ice carving facility in the am. Pushing off or driving away from home is the best feeling. Because I've made my bed. And I'm going to sleep in it.

    It's been a long wait knowing that I was heading down here again since March of 2024. But here I am on the eve of departure.

    IMG_1121.jpg

    because I don't have to work again til OCT 10.

    Busy morning at my buddy's ice carving facility. 14 Coolers had custom cut blocks made and we had to move boats around and double stack my trailer.
