How do you tie down a kayak in a truck bed?
I just bought my daughter a kayak for her birthday, but now I have to figure out how I’m going to get it down to the river. What’s the best way to tie down a kayak in a truck bed?

Let your daughter know that everyone over at Jerry wishes her a happy belated birthday! You can easily tie down a kayak in your
truck bed
using kayak straps or ratchet straps, along with a brightly colored flag.Follow these simple steps:
- Lower your tailgate and load the kayak
- Using the kayak/ratchet straps, secure your kayak to anchor points in the truck bed and on the lowered tailgate—be careful to not over tighten the straps
- Attach the flag to the end of the kayak hanging beyond the tailgate
Always remember to double-check your handiwork before hitting the road. Losing your kayak isn’t just an expensive mistake, it’s dangerous to the drivers behind you! Additionally, you should take this time to make sure that you have the right
