The rope is some piece of sash cord I had laying around, and the knot is just a square knot. I made the whole setup in about 5 minutes right before the first time I took it out in the river. It holds my kayak in the river in 8 feet of water max just fine, but your mileage may vary. Last edited by loosegoose; 02/15/19 05:18 PM.

I bought one of those small fold up anchors so I know I will have enough holding power without having a huge space hog. I just wanted to make sure I was not going to have to go diving after my anchor when the knot came loose. You just gotta know that there would be blood in the water AND sharks if it happened.

Yes, but I will be anchoring it in the FL Keys. In exactly 1 week to this minute I will have been on the road for 6 hours. I am really excited to get the heck out of the snow.
