Voting Question: Where could I get military style equipment for beach assault?

I know this may sound sad, but me and my friends are finking of setting up and airsoft team. The area we will use for matches has a beach covered by sea on one side and a wood on the other. The sad part is that we want to think of a new way around to get to the enemy, so we were thinking a beach assault. We think we will need the following; - Camolauged/Dark grey wetsuits. - Two -man canoes/kayaks. - Very shock resistant snorkling equipment. - Very good military watches. - Possibly night vision goggles. (They don't have to be super good, just maybe 100m or so) Please try to remember that we're only teens so a cheap price would be good also. Thanks.

Resolved Question: Back of knee pain (extended answer)?

I came back from a 12 day school camp (Hiking 25kms, Kayaking 10kms, rowing 10 kms). The camp was no walk in the park, as I had immense weight on the waist with a big backpack with my clothes, sleeping bag and cooking utensils and food/ equipment. All in all, about a 12kgs in total I had to hike across a range with for days on end. If food counts as part of a solution, then heres one. I had powdered milk with breakfast for most days. No normal milk for the whole camp I got back yesterday from the camp, and ever since I got home, the joints at the back of my knees have been hurting slightly which is annoying and causes me to walk weirdly. I tried doing some minor stretches for it, but it hasn't really helped. Another question also, which is worrying me. On camp, we could not take our shoes off, so I was in shoes the whole camp. when I got back, and took it off I noticed my big toe on the left foot was numb, but only the tip of it. It is still numb now, and I am really worried because I may have broken a nerve somehow...? A special thanks to everyone who answers.

Voting Question: Am i liable for a tenant's injury from beach equipment we have in our rental property?

We would like to provide beach activity gear to the tenants of our beach rental home. If a renter injures themselves while using the kayak, snorkel gear, etc that we have provided, are we legally liable? Does this also depend on whether we can have them sign a waiver during the booking process?

Resolved Question: What sort of investment is involved for the beginner in kayaking?

To get the kayak, life vest, and all of the equipment, how much should I be looking to spend if I'm just beginning and planning on just doing local rivers/creeks and lakes. What equipment do I need anyway?

Resolved Question: Windsurfing, Kitesurfing, and Kayaking?

I'm actually starting to get an itch for extreme water sports (no fishing lol) and I've ran into Windsurfing, Kitesurfing, Wakeboarding, and Kayaking. Just so you know where I am to start, I'm in South Florida Miami where the winds usually dont blow very much (but from the vids on Youtube, people have managed to do the above) anyway, I was woundering what's the best one to get into for the best price and what might I be paying for any? From what I've read, Kite: $$$ = Kite , $ = Board Wind: $ = Sail , $$$ = Board and I've seen Windsurfing packages for like $1500 and Kitesurfing kites for like $900 no board! Can I get into anyone of these with like $1000 and build on what I have using peices of the old equipment? Is there anything cheaper? Or should I stick with Kayaking ($250 for the one I'm looking at)?

Resolved Question: What kind of vehicle should I buy?

I currently own a jeep wrangler, but I'm looking for something better on gas, and won't make my insurance rates skyrocket (my jeep is a 93, so I get a low rate, but id like something from this decade) I regularly carry sports equipment, fishing poles, and a kayak around. Putting a rack on the top is definitely an option for the kayak. I'm a 20 yr old girl, so I still would like it to be relatively cute. Biggest point is high MPG. Any suggestions would be appreciated: my financial cap is 14000.

Resolved Question: What equipment do I need to get started kayak fishing?

I am living in Northeast Florida and am trying to get started kayak fishing. I need to know, besides a kayak of course, what type of equipment is necessary and essential to get started and be successful at kayak fishing.

Resolved Question: Warm/hot weather kayak rooftop storage?

Okay... spring has sprung and it's about time to get the boats back into the water. There are a few lakes and rivers that are a lot closer to work than my house is. I'd rather try to bring the kayak with me than drive to work, go home strap the boat on and then drive back. Otherwise it would probably be one and a half hours of lost time, possibly two or more hours during the evening rush hour. If I were to strap my plastic recreational boat onto the roof, then go to work and try to get some time on the water after work, is there anything I should do to ensure that it can survive the day in the direct sun? The parking lot at work is gated, so it is the most secure place to leave it during the day. However, it is uncovered and treeless, so I cannot park in the shade. Would having a cover on the boat itself be enough sun protection? Or should I double up on the protection by covering the covered boat as well? ( I'm thinking of using a kayak cover and then throw a tarp over that ) I am aware that loosening up the tie-downs will prevent pressure points as the kayak heats up in the sun, but would it start to droop as it softens up? I could also take it off of the rack and use my car as shade, along with a tarp. The only downside is that there are several deliveries to the shop a day and it would be fairly easy to pick up a loose boat and drive away. Another option might be to borrow the bed of a pickup truck and cover it there. This would keep the whole boat supported instead of being held up by four little pads on the roof rack. I might also be able to put it on the ground under a truck - there are also a few redneck over-sized 4x4s. I'm not sure if the asphalt gets very hot, though. I can't bring it into the building, put possibly can stash it on the side of the building or under one of the equipment shelters we have. I would prefer not to have take it off and on more than necessary. Whaddaya think? Is covering a covered boat enough sun protection?

Resolved Question: Is it possible to canoe/kayak from Cumberland, MD to Washington, D.C.? Would it be a calm river in mid-Aug.?

A friend of mine and I were wondering if its even possible to canoe from Cumberland, MD to Washington D.C. We would have camping equipment with us. Would the river be calm the whole way? Are there lots of locks, waterfalls, or other obstacles to an easy ride down the river?
