ULPT: How to get rid of a kayak with a hole in it?
Posted by cr15pyboi@reddit | UnethicalLifeProTips | View on Reddit | 112 comments
I ain’t paying to take it to the dump. I’ve been driving around with it in the bed of my pickup hoping someone will steal it. No takers yet.
AggressiveKing8314@reddit
Fix it. I know everyone just buys new but you could maybe fix it. How bad is it?
Stormin_333@reddit
Bonfire! To make it extra unethical invite kids to stand in the smoke and roast marchmellows

Go the hardware store, buy a reciprocating saw and some blades for it. Buy some trash bags as well. Save your receipt somewhere.
Cut up the yak into little pieces that will fit in your regular trash. Put them in the trash bags so they are ready to go. It may take a few cycles, but eventually you will get rid of it all. You can also sneak some into your neighbors bins if they have room.
After you have fully cut up the kayak, go back to the hardware store and return the saw, and the blades (this is the unethical part). If they ask any questions, tell them it didnt work and you want your money back. Even though it will be covered in shredded plastic, insist it didn’t do the job, make up some story if you need to. They wont be able to sell it as new of course, but doesn’t matter (for us) since you can still return it and get a full refund.
Now you are just out the cost of the trash bags, but thats pretty minimal.
Stormin_333@reddit
Then return to the store and buy it cheap from the open items table.
bykerg@reddit
I would avoid using the trash bags to save the dimes
BoredOfReposts@reddit
The bags are cheaper than the fees i get for loose unbagged trash. Probably not the case for everyone though you’re right
CameFast@reddit
Put a body from your freezer in it and let it flow through the river.
cr15pyboi@reddit (OP)
I don’t want to waste a body tho
CameFast@reddit
Dont-PM-me-nudes@reddit
I would say light a fire in it, but then again, as the saying goes, "you can't have your kayak and heat it too."
cr15pyboi@reddit (OP)
I’ve heard that one
Kooky-Glass4409@reddit
Put it in a sleeping bag. Put it on a park bench.
bkn95@reddit
put it by the road with “for sale” sign on it
bsischo@reddit
Use any standard saw, cut it up and put it in a dumpster.
Responsible-Cow5828@reddit
Just like bodies. Cut them up and put a little chunk at a time in your garbage.
cr15pyboi@reddit (OP)
Ahhh okay. Now I know exactly how to deal with this!
Miserable_Smoke@reddit
Just so you know, if you cut your food into smaller pieces, you'll stop choking all the time. This idea has so many applications!
cr15pyboi@reddit (OP)
I’m in a liquid diet…
ftmikey_d@reddit
Never a better use for a sawzall!
CptnHnryAvry@reddit
Sorry, I'm using it for catalytic converters. You can saw up the kayak tomorrow.
ftmikey_d@reddit
You better charge the damn battery this time man!
CptnHnryAvry@reddit
When are you going to stop holding that over my head? I only forgot 7 times!
texasradioandthebigb@reddit
Please tell me more about disposing of bodies. Asking for a friend
Responsible-Cow5828@reddit
Nice try FBI.
texasradioandthebigb@reddit

No-Procedure5991@reddit
[1] anonymously report a body in a location. After the police dig there and use their ground penetrating radar. They won't look there again.
[2] Go back to that spot and bury the body.
texasradioandthebigb@reddit
Where might such a location be?
AcuteMtnSalsa@reddit
And when you got your six pieces, you gotta get rid of them, because it's no good leaving it in the deep freeze for your mum to discover, now is it? Then I hear the best thing to do is feed them to pigs. You got to starve the pigs for a few days, then the sight of a chopped-up kayak will look like curry to a xxxxxxx. You gotta shave the heads of your kayak, and pull the teeth out for the sake of the piggies' digestion. You could do this afterwards, of course, but you don't want to go sievin' through pig shit, now do you? They will go through plastic like butter. You need at least sixteen pigs to finish the job in one sitting, so be wary of any man who keeps a pig farm. They will go through a kayak that weighs 200 pounds in about eight minutes. That means that a single pig can consume two pounds of uncooked kayak flesh every minute. Hence the expression, "as greedy as a pig".
jongscx@reddit
No, you want to spread them out into different bins in the city, so they make a smiley face on the map.
nb6635@reddit
Or a frowny face if you are truly Unethical.
pennhead@reddit
Raffle it off. When the winner comes to pick it up and sees the hole, refund his raffle ticket price. Profit. But… you still have it, so raffle it off again.
stupidpiediver@reddit
Put it on marketplace for $50
correctingStupid@reddit
Craigslist free with pickup.
BourbonSucks@reddit
itll go faster if you craigslist it for $100 "honor system" and put it by the road
googlybunghole@reddit
I never, ever list anything for free on CL or Marketplace. Learned that lesson after I posted a crappy little 32" LCD TV and got 50+ emails. Now if I'm really trying to give something away, I'll list it for cheap and tell whoever shows up they can just have it.
Q-burt@reddit
Find a local pond. Set it adrift. Let it sink. Walk away.
mcfiddlestien@reddit
When I was a kid I stole a canoe from a place that rented them down the street. About a week goes by and I start to get paranoid that I'm gonna get busted with my stolen canoe, so I took the shovel I use as a paddle (the paddles were locked up when I stole the canoe so I just used a shovel lol) and smashed a couple holes in the bottom, filled it with rocks, pushed it out on the river and watched it sink. The next summer the town was cleaning out blockage at a bridge and pulled it out of the water.
NoogaShooter@reddit
Go to the nearest body of water, put it in, sit on it. The rest will take care of itself
Best-Structure62@reddit
Be creative, turn it into a raised flower bed
Cutecumber_Roll@reddit
Not unethical but you can just patch it with a heat gun and some scrap plastic. (Or give it away to someone on craigslist who can patch it with a heat gun and some scrap plastic)
ekco_cypher@reddit
Put a for sale sign on it for $50. Then someone will steal it. Got rid of a lot of junk that way
natziel@reddit
Bring it to Costco and say you want to return it
If they don't let you, just leave it there
Bratchan@reddit
Facebook marketplace. Sell it for $50 with hole in it. Make sure you disclose has a hole in it and say should be patchable and take a picture of the hole to. When someone low balls you be like.. Well I guess i can do it for thta amount.. bam you got paid for someone to take it.
ryanpn@reddit
Too ethical, where do I put the piss disc?
StevieG-2021@reddit
Piss in the hole. Duh 🤦🏻♂️
mephist094@reddit
Piss stick then?
Bratchan@reddit
Shit your right.. um... Hm.. maybe on the seat so it soaks in.. demands on the type of kayak.
massassi@reddit
Put it up for sale $50. When someone offers you less, except the offer.
66NickS@reddit
Whatever you do, don’t put a sock over it. If someone tries to steal it you don’t want them to get just the sock instead.
Cut a big hole in the bottom of it, add some suspenders/life vest or a belt and now it’s a Halloween costume of a kayaker.
cr15pyboi@reddit (OP)
Thanks for the advice.
That’s actually a good costume idea. It’s 50lbs tho so kinda would suck to carry all night lol
MisChef@reddit
Pfft - only 50 lbs? Do you even kayak, bro?
cr15pyboi@reddit (OP)
Apparently not enough
chatminteresse@reddit
Donate it to a thrift shop like Goodwill. They take everything and will even grab it from your truck
cr15pyboi@reddit (OP)
Probably the best idea I’ve seen yet. I doubt they’d notice the hole
ingrown_prolapse@reddit
sometimes i feel guilty because i can’t imagine anyone needing the shit i drop off at goodwill. most people don’t know it’s a for profit business. yes they support charities, but all the shits they sell is for profit.
Gogglesed@reddit
Tape a piece of paper over the hole.
chatminteresse@reddit
The people taking in the goods are paid to bring it in, not question it. And at least you’re not negatively impacting an actual charity organization. Goodwill is a profiteering racket
cr15pyboi@reddit (OP)
Ya profiting off of donations has always seemed weird to me
superdupersamsam@reddit
Flex tape!
ChefArtorias@reddit
Wtf? Throw that shit away.
slow6i@reddit
Cut that kayak into pieces, this is your last resort.
bpthompson999@reddit
Make some piss disks and then sell it? Really? C'mon people! Like, how the fuck is that supposed to help OP out?
We all know the solution is a poop plug.
N-Y-R-D@reddit
Folks constantly underestimate the poop plug.
Additional_Main_7198@reddit
Drop it off near some.homeless people.
Justadailytoke@reddit
Melt it
TokiStark@reddit
All kayaks have a hole in them
Tronracer@reddit
Would it not sink if you pushed it out on a lake?
No_Sun9675@reddit
Slide it into your nearest body of water... make it look like there was somebody in it.
suddenvalleyfarms@reddit
Ten bucks worth of fiberglass would fix it.
BruceRL@reddit
Depends on where you live. I'm in Phoenix and everyone's ULPT when they're too important to take things to the dump is to drop their garbage in the desert just outside of the edge of town.
StraightUp-Reviews@reddit
… and then proceed to shoot it.
TheIronSoldier2@reddit
GreenLooger@reddit
Put a sign on it, $100 OBO, leave it on the curb.
Secure-Village-1768@reddit
Is it that hard to fix it?
Rentonhater@reddit
Nope
Rentonhater@reddit
It's pretty easy to patch a kayak. Might as well post it for free on Craigslist.
One_Impression_5649@reddit
Isn’t this a self fulfilling solution? It HAS A HOLE IN IT, go for a rip and let it sink.
cr15pyboi@reddit (OP)
I’d rather not litter a kayak in my bodies of water
One_Impression_5649@reddit
Then why are you in unethical pro tips? Take the fucking thing to the dump.
jongscx@reddit
We may be monsters, but we still have standards.
One_Impression_5649@reddit
Kinda like an anti hero I suppose. Be bad everyone but also be good ffs.
cr15pyboi@reddit (OP)
There are other unethical ways to get rid of something than throwing it in nature
One_Impression_5649@reddit
That is a fair point. How about just throwing it in someone else’s truck then? Free kayak!
cr15pyboi@reddit (OP)
I like that one 😂
Scary-Ad9646@reddit
Go kayaking.
Sea_Organization4482@reddit
Patch it, piss in it, freeze it =giant piss disk someone on here will buy it now
cr15pyboi@reddit (OP)
This is what I was looking for
d4nks4uce@reddit
I’m laughing so godamn hard right now
cr15pyboi@reddit (OP)
How much piss do you think it’d take to fill a 10.5ft kayak and how long would it take me to piss it?
Icy_Needleworker7790@reddit
Sink it in a lake, just remove the foam paddle out and swim back.
CutsAPromo@reddit
Get a job working as a chef.
Buy a wood chipper.
Every day fill your pockets with shredded kayak.
Mix it into the food and serve it.
It should be gone in a year or two
Long_Bit8328@reddit
Put it out at the curb with a for sale sign that says $50
Someone will steal it. Guaranteed!
All_Your_Base@reddit
Take it to the local lake. Leave without it.
KeyMysterious1845@reddit
Don't leave your trash at a lake.
That's beyond unethical - its just being an asshole.
One_Impression_5649@reddit
It’s an artificial reef for the fishes. Why do you hate fish and their reef?
KeyMysterious1845@reddit
If I shat on your car, is that a hood ornament ?
One_Impression_5649@reddit
Yes
KeyMysterious1845@reddit
I got a turtle head poking out!
Where am I dropping it for you to admire while you drive around ?
One_Impression_5649@reddit
Obviously on the roof centre of the cab. Pls plant a flag too.
All_Your_Base@reddit
Beams !
Thank you! It's going to be difficult to improve on that tomorrow. :D
x_lincoln_x@reddit
Go kayaking. It'll take care of itself.
vegemite_poutine@reddit
Put it in the water
trunningx@reddit
What am I missing. Can't you just put it in a body of water?
cr15pyboi@reddit (OP)
I don’t want to litter a big plastic kayak in nature. But ya I should have expected that coming to the unethical sub
trunningx@reddit
Yup- my answer would have been completely different had this been “ethical life pro tips”. Had we been there I would have just said post it on Facebook marketplace for free. I’ve had people want all sorts of stuff that I considered trash.
Auto_Phil@reddit
Take it out for a paddle. Done.
Shot_Supermarket_861@reddit
Open your tailgate and drive on the interstate at night
giantrons@reddit
Put it at the curb with a sign saying $200 Firm!
It’ll be gone by morning.
MailFar6917@reddit
Came here to say this, only $999.
thewinterfan@reddit
Not ULPT but contact the local 3D print shop to see if they have a shredder for recycling it into 3d prints
takeoutboy@reddit
*Accidentally leave" it at the local river, pick up access point. Someone will help themselves to a free kayak
Deny-Degrade-Disrupt@reddit
Patch hole
Install political sign and anchor
Leave in pond
