Author: megspkSubject: NRS Un-Pin KitPosted: 20 Oct 2015 at 7:10pmMaking your own pin kit is easy and fun to do (in my opinion). I found all the parts I needed at REI. My pin kit fits in my Astral vest and I boat with it every time I kayak. I'd be down to set up some Z drags and to show you my pin kit! Did you get a boat stuck Slakkinhard??

Just make sure you have everything to set up a mechanical advantage and webbing to set an anchor with. Don't just throw them in your boat and forget either. I get practice at work with the rescue team and doing other rope access and high angle stuff, and it's the same thing ...

Author: paddlemonsterSubject: NRS Un-Pin KitPosted: 20 Oct 2015 at 2:44pmThe items in the kit are definitely decent, but you can assemble a kit like this yourself for much cheaper. The pulleys will still be the most expensive part, but the rest should be easy to find for much less.
