How I Load My Heavy Fishing Kayak By Myself (with DIY Load Assist)

My version of a "how to load a heavy fishing kayak" video. I struggled the first dozen or so times loading my Old Town Sportsman 106 MK kayak onto my car...mostly due to the instability created by the rear keel as soon as the front end is lifted into the air. I came up with a DIY PVC load assist (I'm not claiming invention...I just didn't see it anywhere else). Combining the load assist with a kayak cart resulted in the easiest method I've found so far for loading the kayak. I hope this video can help someone else out there who may struggle loading one of these heavy fishing kayaks onto a vehicle.
