Do the dead poisoned critters not cause issues in the house? I've witnessed maggots crawling out of a rat/mouse that was left dead in a trap that I forgot about.

One summer started getting a fly infestation that I couldn't figure out where they were coming from. Like 50+ flies a day in the house. That was a somewhat prolonged skirmish. Vacuum, sticky traps... but the coolest thing that came out of it:

I have a yard with free ranging chickens.  The last thing I would want would be to have birds of prey hanging around. 

Sounds like you need beefier chickens.. 

Haven’t been in awhiles, but can’t imagine much has dramatically changed fwiw some areas:

Marina - yacht club. Used to see a van guy fishing days east lot from club building to 1/2 way out along the wall for fishing(may need consider line weight/netting/landing options, min. 15lb.?) Farther towards the end mostly love birds like in the evening. Check out the wave organ if you’re bored. This area is(or was) heavily patrolled, but if you’re discreet and not being too blatant, I would think it could be doable for jaunts?

Sport’s Basement Crissy areas?(no idea)

Sharp Park Beach area: Santa Rosa Ave and south to Mori’s point. Plenty of public parking areas along beach road - starting at the council chambers parking?

Rockaway/Linda Mar.

Mussel Rock Park. Bit of walk up and down to water. Neat to watch para gliding. Manor Plaza area nearby.

Can be sketch weekend/evenings.

Ear plugs/eye-mask can be helpful depending on how one sleeps.

One morning awoke from the vehicle and perused the sand. A glorious day ensued. Actually can't think of many days that it wasn't really worth it.. van life 

Bar sounds much better than being clobbered by falling trees.

Egads. Stay safe!

The individual on a micro/mini kayak would probably be at a significant disadvantage. Having the ability of some self sufficiency would be a safety consideration on the water - if not oneself but also for the others. Sudden separation from platforms can be disconcerting or disorienting as well.

Would think a decent tandem would be doable along w/ another capable vessel. The mini kayak thing sounds sketch, unless one is a beast. Paddle boards seem sleek and on the lighter side

Woah! Hold fast.

This has worked for me on a couple frozen bag zippers. The application then helps further corrosion build-up and locking up. I use it on a cooler bag that sits on my kayak and it seems to work fairly well.
