HITCHWEB SUMMER TIP: CAMPFIRE SAFETY

As you probably heard, British Columbia has declared a state of emergency to support the Province wide response to the ongoing wildfire situation. Before starting that #adventureonwheels and setting up camp and a campfire, here's a few steps to consider to camp smart and safe. 

Step 1: Check if there is a fire ban in effect in the area by visiting the Province's Wildfire Service's Page

Step 2: If campfires are permitted, use approved fire rings or pits to build your fire. Clear a 4 foot radius around the fire area and at least 15 feet away from tent walls, hanging branches and vegetation.

Step 3: The best way to extinguish a fire is to let the wood burn completely to ash. If time does not allow that, completely extinguish the fire using water.

Installing the Rhino Rack Folding J Kayak Carrier on Vortex Crossbars

Loading your Rhino Rack Folding J Kayak carrier is about as easy as it gets.

• Fit the bracket under the bar and tighten the screws - you don't want to over tighten them.
• Rotate the arms up and lock it in position by pulling the large tab out and locking it back in.
• If you have the additional extension do the same on the other side, so they are mirrored.
• To load your kayak lift it into place, do not drag it.
• Secure your kayak by looping the straps on the arm of the kayak carrier and around the kayak, securing it on your cross bar on both sides.
• Use the longer tiedowns to secure the front and rear of your kayaks to your vehicle for extra security.

Now you're ready to take your Kayak's anywhere!
