The BEST Kayak “milk crate” ever?!

Greg Blanchard

A little bit of randomness throughout the video. BUT, the kayak tackle/rod storage started out with your basic milk crate, then the Yak Attack Blackpak and things of the like. Is this the next step in the evolution of the kayak “milk crate”???

But where did you get that hoodie?!

Greg Blanchard - 5 years ago

it's my own merch and linked in the description. out of stock right now but new inventories this May!

Brock Brian - 5 years ago

Hey. I see ur list. But can u put the amazon links to each product? Thanks. I hope you get this

Brock Brian - 5 years ago

+Greg Blanchard thanks. I'm gonna build one for the titan 12 I got. I appreciate the help

Greg Blanchard - 5 years ago

Hey Brock, will be doing an updated boat tour in the next week or two and I'll put all links in there

TheGoatMumbler - 5 years ago

A box of badassery!

Fishman75 - 6 years ago

Is the guy who built your "Milk Crate" in Youtube? If so, whats his name.

W Boring - 6 years ago

That looks very heavy

M. Smith - 6 years ago

Clean, precise functions, and conceptually well thought-out. Thanks for the ideas you have given me. (The old Black Milk Crate has gotta go, after viewing this!) Haha!
Thanks again, Greg.

Greg Blanchard - 6 years ago

You got it man! Glad it was helpful!

Millers Landing - 6 years ago

Jimmy Tran - 6 years ago

Nice box! Where can I find the Wizard? I need one of this?

Old Lady Angler - 6 years ago

Wow. That tackle trunk is pretty nice. I wouldn't mind having a scaled down version of that! Have you had the Space Dust IPA from Elysian? Great beer!!

Old Lady Angler - 6 years ago

Yeah IPAs are SO good. They were my fave until I tried bourbon barrel aged stouts. But IPA is still the summer time go-to beer. My top 5 IPAs (not in any order) Pliny The Elder, Pliny The Younger, Heady Topper, Dinner, Hop Slam. UGH there are so many great craft brewers out there now! It's hard to choose.

Greg Blanchard - 6 years ago

Having one right now! I'm an IPA fanatic and space dust is in my top 5!

I’ll never understand why people take so many rods fishing.

Brandon Kyle Mckibben - 6 years ago

Wow that box is really cool.

Cheenou Lee - 6 years ago

Wow. Regular is 3.77?! Here in Wisconsin, that’s the price for premium. But love the shirts, I’m planning to get one myself.

Greg Blanchard - 6 years ago

Hope you like it man!

RhinoJoe Outdoors - 6 years ago

Looks like possibly a Pelican 1620 is the base for that “crate” . Can you confirm the model number? I didn’t see that in the video description

RhinoJoe Outdoors - 6 years ago

I went fishing today and caught all dinks. Some days it happens! Love the kayak crate. I cart top my kayak empty and getting everything hooked up takes a lot of time. Very slick system.

Trevor Nevius - 6 years ago

Where did you source the hinges and latches

Yakin4 DinkS - 6 years ago

Where can I find different pedals for my propel drive??

Greg Blanchard - 6 years ago

link should be in the description for better pedals

Marvin Forte - 6 years ago

Great rundown, man. Love this box. One question that I have not seen you address, why did you replace the case lid?

Greg Blanchard - 6 years ago

Just what the wizard said! Thanks for watching, Marvin!

Marvin Forte - 6 years ago

Makes perfect sense. Thanks for the feedback!

KayakFishingTech - 6 years ago

Marvin Forte the lid of the case stock had a 2” rise on it in order to have the lid open fully with rod holders mounted to the back you either have to space the rod holders back at least 2” further or flat top the lid I chose to flattop the lid. Because the box is rather large it would be a pretty good reach to grab your rods if you space them out further back. Hope this answers your question. Tight lines

Blue line Fishing - 6 years ago

Greg how does it hold up if salt water was to get on the ports.

And how much would it cost to make a box like that

Greg Blanchard - 6 years ago

Still gotta test that out. Salt trips are hopefully in store for this falll. 400.00 roughly without the battery

Troy Buswell - 6 years ago

Thanks for the follow up video on the tackle truck Greg. Appreciate you. Keep on posting this great content!!

Greg Blanchard - 6 years ago

Sure thing, Troy! Thanks for watching!

Yo that box is rediculous! Technology nowadays.

Greg Blanchard - 6 years ago

For real man!

Jae cubed - 6 years ago

Man you have come along ways from the early days. That box is amazing... Your buddy did a great job... Professional for sure.

Greg Blanchard - 6 years ago

Thanks Jae! He's the wizard for a reason! lol

DormLifeFishing - 6 years ago

Loved the intro! Would love to see more of your daily life away from fishing too

Greg Blanchard - 6 years ago

Thanks man, definitely planning on more VLOG style videos!

MrPauldmarine - 6 years ago

Could you post a link to the actual box for us fellow titan owners? Or at least the measurements. Thanks

Marked by Dawgies - 6 years ago

That is some “milk crate”! Thanks for keeping it real and sharing.

Taylor Quintero - 6 years ago

Greg your the man dude... I am going to be making this box for my titan 10.5 as well. I really appreciate you going over this for us! THANKS!!!!

Greg Blanchard - 6 years ago

Anytime Taylor! It's a great addition and perfect fit for the 10.5. Let me know how yours comes out man!

Crappie Kayak - 6 years ago

Where can I buy this box with the wheels?
Thanks

Richard Peebles - 6 years ago

That tackle crate is awesome. Thanks for sharing.

Greg Blanchard - 6 years ago

Thanks Richard! Great addition to the kayak

itsmenckgonzalez - 6 years ago

Looks like its a pelican case. Not sure the model.

Marvin Forte - 6 years ago

He posted links in the description

Inocente Sandoval - 6 years ago

I'm trying to find out too. He mentions casecruzer and tackle trunk several times but I went to their site and couldn't find it. And others are saying a pelican box but haven't checked.

Mike Russell - 6 years ago

Great box! Love all the mods. Really clean and super efficient. I have a Titan 10.5 too. Just wondering how tight the fit is for the box. I'm currently using a rectangular milk crate and I believe it's 19" and it's a pretty tight fit. Also wondering if the link you have for the Boonedox landing gear on Amazon is for the Native Titan. I ordered from Austin Kayak but they are on back order and if I can get them from Amazon I'd rather do that. Thx

Need to post a video of how to hook up all of the wires and fuse box...

austin zuschlag - 6 years ago

Do you think you will upgrade your fish finder at some point? Maybe something with side scan?

Greg Blanchard - 6 years ago

Mine just cracked (still works) but will be upgrading for 2019 for sure. Not sure on SS yet but that'd be pretty sweet for winter fishing in these deep reservoirs here in Cali

damnnit greg.. do you need a tent? Camping gear? lol.. Call me.. I got you - my garage is a freaking REI!

Great stuff Greg

iGoVroomVroom - 6 years ago

Did you mean 20 amp hour battery and not 20 volt for your fish finder? Could you link the battery you got?

Jim Williams - 6 years ago

Great share Greg, next year will be my upgrade to my crate. This is an awesome idea. I could see this at ICAST next year too :)

Greg Blanchard - 6 years ago

Thanks Jim! Good stuff at Clear Lake!!!

Cody J Morgan - 6 years ago

Dude the green bass color on the new shirts is awesome!! And I will be making a tackle trunk once I get my new yak later this year!!

Greg Blanchard - 6 years ago

Thanks Cody! Yep, the tackle trunk is awesome!

Hunter Navari - 6 years ago

Great video Greg! That’s why they call it fishing and not catching, you don’t always catch anything. I went out on my kayak last night for 4 hours and all I caught was a tiny bluegill. Thats a badass milkcrate setup you got as well!

Greg Blanchard - 6 years ago

Thanks Hunter!

Ying Yang - 6 years ago

I was there at Lake Camanche on Sunday! It was tough for me. Only caught 1 fish on a jig. The lake was good until the party boats and jets skiers started coming out.

Ying Yang - 6 years ago

+Greg Blanchard yup that's my plan too. Fall and winter should be good especially when the spots comes out.

Greg Blanchard - 6 years ago

tough lake to fish in the summer for sure, ill be back in the fall!

Rick Davison - 6 years ago

Greg, tell them how much the Tackle Trunk cost! Everybody it’s pretty much in line with the cost of the Torqeedo! Greg loves his extravagances! But it’s SWEET!

Greg Blanchard - 6 years ago

Haha, my only hobby so I can (sort of) justify it! lol. I believe around 400.00 not including the lithium ion battery

Leeder - 6 years ago

Love the sound track.... again lol. Anyday fishing is better than anyday day at work. Whether catching fish or not.

Keenan Moore - 6 years ago

One thing I can't stand about my black pack is that it doesn't fit 3700 size plano boxes. I had to buy all small boxes.

Greg Blanchard - 6 years ago

For sure, always wish they came out with a bigger size blackpak but no need for that now!

Recks Vanderz - 6 years ago

Design is clean!

phil m - 6 years ago

Did you assemble this yourself from the KR Series Carrying Case? Great Job!

Greg Blanchard - 6 years ago

Yep, my buddy did!

overloaded outdoors - 6 years ago

Awesome video that’s a nice crate I will be checking it out for sure I’m still pretty new to kayak fishing but always looking for anything to make it easier or better
