The sun is my biggest enemy most times while I'm on the water in my Ascend 128T kayak. I tried using umbrellas, beach umbrellas, and other odds and ends in attempts to shield myself from the sun, and sometimes rain, with minimal success. Now? I think I've solved the problem with some old tent poles, pvc pipe, and an emergency blanket. Here's my version of a DIY kayak canopy presented over my Ascend 128T.

A failed experiment with a trolling motor propeller and a weedeater led me to an idea.

Today I'm sharing my thoughts on the Aqua Quest Himal waterproof backpack. This pack has become a favorite of mine because it is a waterproof backpack and it protects my gear while on my kayak. If you are in, near, or going through water (rain), this is a pack you need to see.
