Agreed but what new boat with the features which Welsford created would sell less than this? If a person has the time and the skill, build one. Most people do not. You have to arrive a a point in life to afford one ( which is less than a used vehicle) or have the credit to go in debt. Or settle for something less versatile such as a McGregot Venture 17 for pennies or a siren 17. A Catalina 22? I hate settling for not-the-best but at least you are on the water.
👏 👏 👏 There is something powerful in building something like this that gives you a feeling that you can do anything. I can’t wait to have the time to do this. (And space. Apartment won’t work lol)
Beautiful boat! What a pleasure to watch her sail. You did fine work. I must say, I spent the first full minute grinning from ear to ear: I have a Peep Hen with Lazy jacks and Gaff and have the same struggle nearly every launch. If you find the secret, please let me know! Meanwhile, Enjoy!
Excellent, been scouring youtube for rucksack ideas, sick of buying one's that either don't last , or just make do with a one thats not quite right for what need and carry, so yeah make one, wondering if you when back and padded the shoulder straps....
For your viewers: Pack rifle has 100 receivers built and waiting for anodizing, problem being that their barrels are made by a third party and could still be 6 months or more to come in…I have been waiting two years. Unfortunately no hunting with a pistol in Canada so I have to be patient.
@@survivingentropy my magic number is 1" @ 50 yards with an optic, though maybe for something so insanely light as this I'd consider 1.25" @ 40 yards (IE, squirrel head in a tree). Have you found it able to do that? Ive seen many reviews where a rifle is claimed accurate and they accept a 3" group. That may be fine on rabbit, but that would not be okay on squirrel, my main target.
Yeah ... all is well. I'm not sure I've been doing anything that interesting lately. And all I want to video has been done already. I might do an over night with the scamp though
It's definitely interesting but, I think I'll stick with my Springfiels M6 .22/.410. I've got a 2.5x scope on it, added some copper 1/2" tubing on each side of the over/under barrels so I could carry about 10 spare rounds of .410 shells, along with the 4 that are in the stock itself, and 10 rounds of .22 in there too. Take a look at the various .410 rounds you can get. When I was in Alaska, I picked up Flare round, flechette rounds, slugs, 3 ball buckshot.. Great setup, mine goes everywhere with me. I'd forget my Seacamp pistol in my pocket before I forget my M6. One more suggestion... When shooting at a squirrel, use a tree to steady your rifle/pistol so you can get a clean head shot. As for my pistol, I carry a Ruger MK1 .22 with a Paclite (Tactical Solutions) 10" barrel on top of it, along with a nice pistol scope on top of that. It's a serious squirrel getter as well.
Really enjoyed your video, I think you would really enjoy a Kelly Kettle It works great for what you were cooking there. I believe this is my choice for my Tacoma, when I can pay for it.
After trying to understand proposm I think I can say thanks? I Just like messing around with video trying to learn and share. Every once and awhile I get some interest.
It's good to confirm with John Welsford, but it's an easy way to get a shorter boat with a longer waterline. Better performance and a smaller package. So that's my thinking
@@ranman5501 One of the goals was to make a boat just under 12 feet as this is a cut off point for registration in some States and is also a restriction for some lakes. Thus 11'11" can go in any water in the USA and do so cheaply. It also simplifies construction.
@@survivingentropy нет, это для того чтобы лодка не зарывалась в волну. Если острый нос, вся вода будет у Вас в кокпите. Лодка очень красивая. Присутствует шарм.
John, the designer, thought it to tight for a cuddy. Thus dangerous in foul weather. But a tarp makes a good cover or sleep on shore. It is only 11'11"
I am unsure of his thinking while designing either boat. It would be a good question for John. I know the scamp is designed to be a safe and seaworthy small boat. I've had several conversations with Howard Rice. And that's where I may have hear about the scamp being too small for a cabin. Though I'm up for closing it in and doing an Atlantic crossing.
