Why Not Drive?


Many kayakers dream of paddling in the far north around ice bergs and seals and all that arctic stuff. Most of us are held back by the frightening cost of air transporting our kayaks and other gear from wherever we live to a decent put-in beach in the high latitudes. Well, that's about to change!

In the above photo, you can see the answer! Get yourself one of these buggies and you're good to go wherever you want. Made to tackle the polar ice, the bears, the darkness and cold, you'll be assured of being first at the launch site.

Personally, I'm taking a wait and see approach and thinking of doing some warm water practice session in the meantime. Still, they are kinda cool-looking...
